Few update pics, but still a few more things to finish not quite there.

They constantly have pre canned storylines they want to talk about like it’s a soap opera and then whoever they decided deserves story time they just follow that rider around to make the story seem relevant: this is done regardless of if that riders shredding, in a battle, on the ground, out of the race etc lol. They just talk like it’s a day time drama or a podcast rather than an actual race. It is infuriating. Mxgp treats it like formula 1 Ama treats it like it’s the Netflix drama show of formula 1

Comes down to riding the bike you like to ride.

Very cool bike & looks in MINT condition! 👍❗️ Congrats & Enjoy it! A good ride buddy had that EXACT same 2021 FC350 w/the split side panel and he loved! (Ironically, he only recently sold it and bought a Husky 250 2-stroke believing it will be his last ever “new” bike!) And I’ll add this ONLY as an explanation to wallet speak confusion…back in the mid-2000’s when the MFG’ers started phasing out 2-stroke technology in favor of the 4-stroke, fewer and fewer 2-strokes were available. There was a groundswell of opposition to the 4-stroke related to the higher initial price...

Now that I'm retired. This is my small private track just for me. No big jumps or being afraid I might get landed on.

Spoke with my wallet threads are reserved for 2 strokes.

On the flip side: if you’re not shredding, stay the fuck out of A practice.

I always loved Thor back in the day but all of their stuff looks fitted and snug like Under Armor. I was reminiscing after finding some old riding pics from 2006 and decided to browse the Thor website. Much to my surprise they still make “normal” fitting gear. I have never seen this stuff on any of their social media, or their paid riders?? I’m going to order a set soon, I look forward to their 2027 lineup https://www.thormx.com/product/676892/productGroup/498022

I know I’ll get called out for being negative but would really like to see moto media have an honest sit down with DC or Tim Cotter and ask some questions about the state of amateur mx. Are combines and futures planned to replace pro sport for stepping stone to pro, why have qualifiers if anyone can race regionals, why allow people to race/get tickets from multiple regionals? How are tracks vetted for these highly attended qualifying races? I thought they had to have an area qualifier before they could host a regional but assuming that’s not the case if...

Not there but it looks like a disaster. I don't understand what the point of an area qualifier is if anyone can just sign up for the regional. There shouldn't be alternates at the regionals at all. There are plenty of areas to make it to a regional. Let's be real if you didn't make it out of any areas you have zero chance to make LL. Should be a full gate at regionals and that's it.

How a pro ever loops out a bike is beyond me. One of the biggest goon things you can do on a bike. Ironically the only other two times I can remember it happening is to RC at the Silverdome (we were there) and RV overseas. Not a good look for sure.

“I grew up watching Shimoda race…” Fuck we’re old 😭

Really JT. Ju Ju is an AMERICAN. who gives a fuck where his dad is from. Trying hard to discredit the American riders to push the international shit
