bayodome Added a reply to #18: MXGP of China
1 day ago Agreed. I went last year. Crowd seemed much bigger then. Stands looked EMPTY last weekend! But yeah, as the moto scene continues to grow in China (I don't really see anything standing in the way of that at the moment), the event will only get bigger and I could see having even two rounds within the country, eventually. I'd love...

As probably one of the only Westerners (non Russian) who attended as a fan, it was the most bizarre GP I’ve been to, but I did really enjoy it. Once Chinese riders, teams and bikes are more of a threat I think it could be a huge event

YouTube limits video length to 12 hours, many crashes would be left out.

bayodome Added a reply to Sacha Coenen - Let's make things interesting?
9/10/2026 12:04am I've never looked, but I've also never come across a Sacha Coenen "Crash Highlights" reel. If one doesn't exist, it's because anyone who's attempted became so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of clips while gobsmacked crying and laughing. That mythical crash reel is going to take over your social media feed when Sacha starts SX. The kid is amazing, but...

bayodome Added a reply to Who Remembers Steel City?
9/8/2026 12:00am Haha good way of putting it but the dirt was naturally more loamy/clay. Steel City was a little more jumpy as well. Similar layouts though with the use of the valley and grade of the hills. I never rode there so couldn't speak from a rider's standpoint, but I've spent plenty of time hoofing it up and down the hills...

bayodome Added a reply to Pretty confident, the team to beat is Spain. Jmho
9/6/2026 7:43pm Can't argue with Spain and France, but Netherlands will still be strong if they go with Vlaaderen to replace de Wolf. US is still strong overall, as are Italy (Adamo, Bonacorsi and Zanchi) and Latvia might be sneaky good with the Reisulis bros and Jonass.

9/2/2026 10:40pm
I came across a story from French publication Moto Verte that I thought was too cool not to share. We know a passionate enthusiast who has remained young at heart, even if his creations are far from mere toys! A former elite enduro rider and BMX fanatic, Fabien Rolland expresses his passions down to the finest details—so much so that he spent endless days in his workshop working on Jett Lawrence’s CRF450, built completely from scratch at 1/9th scale. A colossal undertaking, elevated by a masterful result: a truly unique masterpiece. "I think I’m a little crazy... !" A little...

bayodome Added a reply to Official: Kove Factory to enter MXGP paddock - Starting with EMX250 in 2027
9/1/2026 12:21am Now with Kove, which inevitably means ZXMoto as well (the founder also helped found Kove and there definitely seems to be some beef so seems like he wants to beat them at their own game... and I have to say their bikes look really good), and now JHL entering MXGP that has to put the participating number of manufacturers list...

8/26/2026 8:12pm Anyone criticizing the minutia of a podcast, television host or any public figure's speech patterns has absolutely no clue how difficult those jobs are.

8/25/2026 2:18am Factory supported Team Tedder Husky? Yes! He'll have very little time on it, but hell yeah! Send someone who actually wants to go. Probably will be Webb's last ever MX race too. Go out with a bang!
bayodome Added a reply to 2026 MXON: Star Yamaha out; but, Team Kawasaki is in?
8/25/2026 2:06am NZ bowed out last year but supposedly (as of Sept. 2025) were/are planning to return with a team for 2026. But considering funds were an issue before, if that $25k rental fee is real... well it would be a bummer. Would love to see what Cole can do on the world stage. He, Brodie Connolly and... (forgive my ignorance of...

bayodome Added a reply to Would Davies join RC, JS, RV etc. as a Rookie MX Champion?
8/19/2026 9:31pm There's a huge difference between a true professional rookie and a rookie to a specific class. Roczen and Lawrence already had years of professional racing and championships under their belts when they won their first 450 outdoor titles. If a rider moves straight into 450 pros from amateur racing, that's a true rookie. But it doesn't happen very often. Not...

Specialized Levos are great, but before you commit to those take a hard look at Amflow bikes or anything with an Avinox motor. Less dealer support now, but that will change rapidly. Also, moto people tend to be more technical than the average MTB customer. HTH. BP

8/19/2026 12:48am Davies has raced 2 complete SX series now and had 2 nationals under his belt at the start of outdoors this year. Definitely NOT A ROOKIE. The only 100% true Outdoor rookies that I know of (my knowledge base begins to get foggy for anything before 1989) are Stewart and Pastrana. Neither had raced a single national before their title...

8/19/2026 9:10pm Your first several rides on whatever emtb you end up with will bring you straight back to your first several rides on a dirt bike... It's about as close to pure joy and fun as you can get. It will remind you why you started riding two wheels in the first place. MTB trails become playgrounds. Climbs are just another...

First off...emtb is awesome. Highly recommend. I have the specialized turbo levo...great bike, but be careful on the motor. I think they have fixed it on the newest generation (gen 4). I have the gen 3 (brose motor)...they don't have great longevity. I have replaced mine once, luckily under warranty. I think the motor warranty is only 2 year. The gen 3 brose motor is belt driven and the belt fails It seems the current top of the line motors are the Avinox, followed by the Bosch. Neither of these are on Specialized bikes. Have fun emtb-ing!
