If you get the chance and you're in the area, I recommend attending this race! SOB only has a couple of races per year, so don't miss checking out this top notch facility. I spent the summer there and I have nothing but good things to say about the guys at SOB. The tracks are fun and challenging, but safe...

https://youtu.be/JKsfTAls8dM If you watch the beginning, it looks like the 141 Yamaha (Jeremy Medaglia - White/Red gear) cuts right hard, but then has to check up and straighten up to avoid hitting Reed. Alessi then has to straighten up to not hit the Medaglia, coincidentally running Canard off the track and ended with them both on the ground. Looks to...

Roczen ahead of Tomac on the "fastest guys" list? ......................L.O.L. And if we are talking sand, then I'll give you Herlings being so high, but on any other kind of terrain, absolutely no chance of him being ahead of Dungey. Barcia behind Paulin and Desalle? No way...

Yes sir, you did. Try to focus...The point of his post was only to point out how flawed the original statement was. It was not comparing the usefulness of a helmet vs a neck brace. He is simply showing that the body does need extra protection when it is exposed to extreme circumstances. You took it waaaaaay to literal...

Doc Bodnar says that with his continued research of the brace, that they have no evidence that shows that a neck brace breaks collarbones...They have no more breaks now than they did before the braces came along. Just because someone who wears a brace breaks their collarbone, it doesn't mean the brace was at fault.

Dak is obviously exaggerating his argument, just to prove how ignorant the "so why retard that hyperextension" argument is...He is saying that, like GuyB stated, your body isn't made for 100 foot triples and 5th gear straight-aways...so you need extra protection when you do things that the body isn't made to withstand on it's own. I also don't care either...

A think a lot of times we all get lost in trying to "make it" and when most don't, they consider this sport a waste of time/money. But the day that I walk away, no matter when that is and no matter how far I make it in this sport, I know that I have learned some life lessons first...

Other than Cianciarulo, why hasn't Pro Circuit made more of an effort into picking up guys starting as early as the B class, or even some promising young supermini riders? Don't get me wrong, PC has a great team and they will always be loaded with talent, but it seems like Geico has done a tremendous job getting guys before...

Interesting point, everyone knows PC's history, and 99% wouldn't pass up a chance to ride with them. Their track record speaks for itself. I just hope that their lack of a "farm system" doesn't hurt them down the road.

You don't see Team Geen anymore...It's not like when Larson rode for Xtreme Team Green and all that. They don't have a legit "Team" anymore. There might be a lot going on behind the scenes with guys on Kawis, but they definitely don't advertise riding for PC or anything like that. Just curious as to why they aren't more public...
