Broughton859 Added a reply to Best Fitness/HR smart watch for motocross
8/3/2026 1:05pm Yeah, I also second Garmin over Polar. I had two different M series, and I really like them, but my last one's bottom button stopped working, so I replaced it with a Garmin Forerunner 970. It's 2 or 3x the price, but it's awesome, and I'm super pumped with it so far. It definitely seems more accurate across the board...

Broughton859 Added a reply to Leatt 6.5 boots, anybody tried them or know anything about them
3/25/2026 1:36pm I'm on my third set of 5.5 and really like those. Either those or Tech 7's would be my choice. I'm personally not a fan of the stitched sole boots, but if you are, then these are good boots. As mentioned, if you like the SG22/SG12, then you would like these as well.

2/27/2026 9:01am I have a desk job, so it might be differnet but both times I've missed work due to injury (collarbone and ACL), I basically told my doctor how much time I needed to miss or wanted to miss, and they just signed off on it. My ACL it could have been 3 months, I think, but I had them just...

Most fucked up part, my local Yadkin county sheriff is trying to hang his hat on solving this to get re-elected. Dude never got out of his cruiser to introduce himself to me day of the robbery. I had this thing solved within 2 weeks. I took this video nine days after my home was robbed — November 16th. Let me back up. On November 7th, my wife woke me up in a panic. Seventeen of my dirt bikes — mine and my children’s — were gone. Vanished from our home. We immediately called 911, and the Yadkin County Sheriff's...

Mirtl shot me a message after their first case was dismissed and then moved courts. He sent a fairly shitty message towards me, when I tried to steer it professionally and stated what I knew about it being moved. He said that info was wrong, so then asked him if he wanted to share why it happened or to send a statement if he had one…and he went on a couple paragraph rant / attack instead. This video comes out and I’m blocked, Vital is blocked, can’t see it. He messages me again about it. I point out that I...

3/5/2024 12:07pm Honestly, this is my worry at the moment. I've only been doing it 9 months or so now and did my first competition a couple of weekends ago and I'm right there with you. Now I'm listening to podcasts, watching shit on youtube, etc. etc and it's a full-blown hobby like Moto. No real surprise though, I did the same...

3/5/2024 8:09am 12.17 RX for me. I really enjoy CrossFit but it really comes down to the gym you go to. I've dropped in at a few different places and the program can change quite a bit as well as the overall technique and goal of each workout. Some feel like an all-out race every day while others focus more on technique...
Broughton859 Added a reply to Motion Sickness While Riding
1/8/2024 11:57am Just here to say I have similar heart rates to you racing MX I max at 200-205, riding hard 180-190, and then for working out hard I probably only get up to 170-180, HRV average of 76, and resting heart 54 BPM. Mentioning that so you know you're not alone there. Just FYI, I'm 34 and work out a bunch...

4/28/2023 11:03am My personal favorite is the TLD SE Ultra gear. It's the lightest most flexible gear I've ever worn. After that Fox Flexair. With that being said, almost all the brands have a higher-end gear set that fits what you're looking for.

4/7/2023 6:36am Similar to others I do "Metabolic Intake Training" which is essentially Crossfit just fewer barbells and more dumbells and Kettlebells and of course Ski Erg, Rower, and Assualt Bike. I do a 30-45 minute class with a warm-up and cool down before and after and it's done way more for me over the last 6 months than any of the...

11/22/2022 1:10pm Do you MTB at all? Knoxville is pretty nice for that. For reference: https://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/member/knoxville-looks-blast-dirt-downt…

10/19/2022 10:59am I'm not sure if the TLD showroom is still open. I would double-check on that one since the last time I was out there in May it was closed. Fox had a big party last year the night before that was really fun. Not sure if they're doing it again but if so I would recommend going to that. There's...
Broughton859 Added a reply to Question: living in NYC with dirt bikes?
10/19/2022 7:15am Alot of good information in the thread but the general idea is it's 100% doable but it is a lot of work. If you want to do it I would probably go the Brooklyn route over living in Manhattan proper. My wife lived in Williamsburg for 10 years and I would have my bike loaded in the back of my...

10/13/2022 7:28am As someone from KY and looking at moving back I'll probably be headed to Eastern Tennesse or Central / Western North Carolina instead. I'm really into MTB and Moto obviously being on this forum and both of those places are better for that plus it seems like there is more going on and on an upward trend. Most of all...

10/12/2022 7:30am A lot of good info here. I live in NJ now but I'm from Central KY (Lexington) and agree with everything people are saying. There's a ton of small backyard style private tracks and a couple of bigger tracks that have been mentioned but it seems like everyone has transitioned over to offroad series like Kentucky XC Racing (apparently built...

9/27/2022 12:46pm NJ Field of Dreams pretty much stays open all year around if possible. If it gets too bad you can go farther south to Tomahawk or Budds. For indoors, you can do Switchback out near Pittsburg. I usually throw in a Wheel Mill visit on the same weekend and that's about as good as it gets for indoor fun when...
