Wrong. I'm not what you are saying he is, and I'm "complaining" about Ping. Just because I may align with him on some issues doesn't mean I endorse his delivery, and I sure as hell don't endorse his complete dismissal of anything or anyone who doesn't agree with his VERY PUBLIC opinion. Your completely tone-deaf response shows you're the same as Ping. And by that I'm not being political at all, I'm just saying as a human being you apparently don't have the ability to see anything from any perspective other than your narrow one. Right or left doesn't change...

Ping quite often acts like the snowflake he accuses others of being

Toosh... Teushen.. Germany '13

Matterly last year

He’s 19 years old…he’ll be 450 full time before he even turns 20.

Not sure of a bio, but surely Lewis's previous involvement in MX / journalism says a hell of alot. One thing I can say, is that I raced at the sametime as his father, often the same regions and clubs; absolutely superb rider his Dad was.... he was as fast as you like. Could run with the very best guys here in the nationals in the youth classes and that was no mean feat. Still remember those days, his Dad was super fast and can understand how Lewis is now so involved in Mx, credit to him and his super...

Excellent news, LP is a top guy and isnt afraid to ask hard questions. Been awesome covering GP's , remember sitting in a ferry queue behind him , when he was in a clapped out Ford Fiesta, trying to type up a GP report on his laptop, excited to hear his stuff, post GP Pods were always Gold.

Thanks everyone! I was expecting way more downvotes, haha... I'm excited for what we can do here. Got many ideas. Like ML said, I'll still be on top of the MXGP scene. Got something lined up with Herlings and Seewer is always there!

We are venturing perilously close to plane old fashioned sexism here. Some of you guys need to tone it down a couple notches. It's juts a post on instagram or whatever. The sensitivity levels for hardcore dirtbikers shocks me sometimes.

Did Gatedrop do the interview? Or is it another one that they got from somebody else? I don’t visit their site because of their history of stealing complete and partial interviews and passing it off as their own for profit....

Only Americans think that..

I'm going to lock this thread. I thought there would be some fun banter about GL and Matthes being so petty towards each other and it being funny to watch. What I didn't want was for Tapia to be involved or hurt by it. Its completely off topic and clearly affecting him based on that tweet. Sorry Tevin, heal up man!

Yep, he said on the MX Vice post race podcast after Lommel that if he has the chance of racing the GPs with the team he will do it.

Your friends a dick.

The question is...was it an interview he actually did or pieced together from other publications to appear as an interview....

rdawg247, you have a good eye for just starting out. Keep those backgrounds clean (like you are doing) and keep going. Reading over the advice here, I cannot recommend you take it all. If you really want to do photography, mastering the camera's controls and functions is unavoidable. Not only that, it is advantageous. So, by all means, begin with M as quickly as possible. The camera does not get exposure settings correct by itself. Rarely is that the case, in my experience. More relevant still, do you want the camera to make the photos, or do you want to...

Just a post showing some pictures from the second time at the track with the camera. Couldn't use it a whole lot since I had to ride as well.
