First thing I thought of when I saw that photo. Looks like a bucket on his head.

I tried to emulate everything Marty did in the magazines when I was a kid. Truly a riders hero and will be missed. RIP Marty and Nancy, my thoughts are with the family.

I understand the circumstances, but they are dragging the picks out during the broadcast. I'm compassionate and feel for those that have lost or have sick loved ones during this pandemic, but for selfish reasons this years draft is a huge bummer for ... more »

If any of you guys need/interested in Komatsu in So Cal, hit a brother up!

If you honestly think it's truly 20,000 deaths due to Covid-19 as the main cause of death then debating with you is a lost cause. It's been admitted by Fauci himself that if someone died of a heart attack, but happened to have Covid at the time of death, ... more »

You want some t-handles?! Watch this, one of my favorite YT'ers. They were custom built for C-LO. JA21's mechanic.

So you using worldometers as a source of info let's dig into their numbers, just for California as an example. As of today there are a grand total of 35,881 cases and 1,332 deaths for the state. It shows active cases as 31,212. So if we subtract the ... more »

Great thread! Lostboy, I'm right there with you on Ryobi especially since they upgraded to the Lithium series. All my buddies are Rigid and DeWalt diehards, but I'm doing just fine with my trusty and less expensive Ryobis. Problem is I have about 20 ... more »

I like Cole and wish him the best. I think the overblown attention was not his intention. He's a good dude and unfortunately the Vital collective is running low on insignificant topics such as this to focus their negative energy.

Yeah, it's all speculation, but living conditions may have a part in all of this. You're on your own from the East coast joining a new race team, (girlfriend in tow <---key clue) and who's paying for and supporting cross-country living arrangements ... more »

I have a little story as well. The "SoCal" scene 20+ years ago was very small and a lot of people ran in the same circles. Dana Wiggins (ex-factory Kawi mechanic) was really good friends with a few of my friends. One night we partied hard and ended up ... more »

The wife and I just got back from Walmart to pick up a new deck of playing cards and dominoes. (Mexican train tourneys). Anyhow, there were a couple pallets of water on the floor and the shelves are starting to restock slowly. It's going to take a couple ... more »

Don't get me wrong I respect the hell out of TP and what he's accomplished, but for him to jump in and captain a Class One OS boat with basically no real time race experience is pretty gnarly. It'll be interesting to follow this part of his career. At ... more »

Great video! My heart is near and dear to the KDX200. I'll have to throw up a pic of my old 2004 in this thread when I get home. Awesome little trail bike.

Look up Beast Racks. Wheel chalk system for toy haulers that use the standard rings prebuilt into the floor. It's what I use and is easy to move around and get it out of the way when not using. No drilling.

A couple weeks back we camped at Ocotillo for Presidents weekend. A family friend camped with us and brought out 2 Alta MXRs. Knowing he was bringing those I was very excited to try it for the first time. He put a full charge on it and told me to ride ... more »

Not so sure about that. Both Zach and Carmichael are 5'6". JS7 is 5'7", McGrath is 5'8". Many SX/MX racers that have had successful careers are short.
