Yeah, I agree. Any of us would have likely joined Star if we were in the same situation, but definitely should have told the team and preferably in person. Having an agent that nobody had talked to before send an email is a full on bitch/coward move for a Team that has supported you for years......unfortunately in the world of texting/social media has created this with most young people now. It's all about confrontation avoidance which is shitty and selfish.

I really like the club Mx team and the access they give with the YouTube. I really hope it didn’t go down like Brandon explained but obviously I have no doubt it did. Brandon’s a standup guy. As a man and an adult you should be able to shake Brandon’s hand thank him and tell him it’s a business decision. Would he be happy? No but he would have respected it. Taking the easy way out never pays off in the long run.

"Basically, I feel that the Americans who live next to, work next to, and in many cases the survival of their entire communities are dependent on, federal land...should have the MOST say in how its managed. " Sounds to me like you favor local governance. But your further comments sound like you think that those local interests will be better served by a bureaucratic panel of Washington, D.C. overlords than by your nearby local, county and state public servants. Who are also your neighbors. Also, if you feel so passionately about this, the most available solution is to run for...

So you think that a Republican governor and a Republican legislature - who, by the way, have widely promoted off-road activities in the state with a major marketing campaign - will be less friendly to off-road enthusiasts than lifetime bureaucrats hanging in D.C.

I don't squeeze the bike enough... As a result my shit stays pristine. I recommend bad technique for better looking graphics.

Is it more of a joke or more of a fraud? These guys are shameless. World championship my a**.

24 second lap time, ouch

It’s never easy to tell your employer that you’re quitting and leaving the position they entrusted you with. But as a man, you communicate your intentions and possibly leave the door open for future possibilities. Pretty disrespectful to not even make a phone call.

part of the reason I changed my offroad focus to hard enduro is that all of the fun, flowy singletrack down lower in the valleys is simply gone from assholes in SXS that blow it out and turn it into a freeway. Up where I ride now they can't get to, so it's a win/win. Hate, hate, hate side by sides with passion. They attract the absolute dregs of society and the people driving them are usually complete assclowns on the trails. But I guess (like e-mtb) they do allow grandma to get out where she wouldn't otherwise be able...

It’s an absolute shame what they are doing to warner valley…and some of my favorite desert single track trails in the world are outside of mesquite, NV…and they are quickly becoming roads. SXS belong in the sand dunes, and on the farm/ranch…

Dealers are too busy getting the guy with a 520 credit score approved for the oem branded credit card so they can sell them $30,000 offroad booze cruiser with a free knock off yeti cooler to go with it. Wouldn't count on them to be the source of education for anything.

Let's get Enzo!!! Total shit move to not even answer.

Did you not watch the video? Leaving isn't the issue, it's HOW he left that is the issue. Having an agent just send a contract termination request out of the blue with no sort of a heads up right before the SX season starts is a dick move to a team that has supported you for years. This wouldn't even be a conversation if Lopes did the respectable thing and sat down with club first and explain that he has a potential ride for star that he wants to take advantage of. Lopes took the bitch way out.

Dick move by Lopes.

I don’t know if I’m alone on this and I don’t want to come across as a dick because this was really well shot and produced… But does anyone feel like this is the 100th time we’re being told the same story? Maybe it’s over exposure (which is well deserved) but I feel like the Lawrence story needs a new chapter or something.

They are.

Just a heads-up for any American friends… If you’ve been thinking about buying a copy of ‘The Inside Line book’, and are going to Glen Helen this coming weekend for the World Vets race, I’ll be there myself. So, PM me if you’d like me to take a copy for you. Then you can get your own personally signed and dedicated book without having to pay for shipping! https://theinsidelinebook.com

This might be the broadcast at the rate they're going....

SXS will be the end of offroad riding...I despise those things 😒
