Someone I know was invested in a company that had the same type of idea. They had a prototype running on an xr I believe but there were several issues and as far as I know they stopped. This is a good reminder to find out what's going on with it though.

If you make a mistake on a 450 you can still jump the rhythms or skim the whoops. When they were on 2 strokes and they made a mistake they often had to change up their rhythm. Also, dive bombing a 450 into a corner usually leads to a washed out front end so those passes also become rarer, especially...

I saw 2 kids scrubbing a table at my local track 2 weeks ago on 50's (assuming they were big bores), couldn't believe it. One of them was even doing the bogle leg whip thing over a step up double. They are 2 of the fastest in the nation, but still, that is ridiculous.

I ran up to him and then did jumping jacks as I got closer so I could see why he thought it wasn't broke. In all seriousness, they were helpful but also wrong and I was just using it as an example of how they can make mistakes as well, not coming in here to bash them.

What if the person that wronged me is involved in this discussion? The only point I was trying to make was that these guys do make mistakes and I don't think anyone here thinks they had bad intentions or didn't follow protocol.

Hate to jump into this but I was assessed trackside by one of these guys (I'll leave the name out) and they were quite confident my foot wasn't broken (while my boot was on, nonetheless). A surgery later that evening to insert 4 metal pins would prove otherwise.

I remember racing Anaheim and then sitting in class the next Monday during my last semester of getting my bachelors. Nobody had any idea until I showed up with a broken foot 2 weeks later from A2. Glad I stuck with school though, especially in this economy.

I was more referring to the back of the jerseys. We don't really need numbers in SX and I'm sure you could easily identify guys by the logos on their back if it's presented properly. You can tell by just looking at the car in NASCAR who drives it, not sure why this hasn't been pursued yet.

Pirelli, just take a look at what they run overseas if its not super sandy. The mx32 or whatever it's called now is awesome and works well on most terrain except hard pack.

Considering MSNBC is owned by General Electric, I doubt they are bad mouthing them.

I rode one of those for the first time 2 weeks ago, it will be my next bike as well. I have an rm250 done by gorr and I was still amazed how good that ktm motor was, a ton of roll on power. Also felt really light. Track was smooth so can't comment on the suspension.

I think it's a combination of whoop difficulty, bikes, and access to tracks. First time I ever rode a supercross track was at A1 in 2002, that was fun. Now there are a bunch of practice tracks and the 4 strokes just seem to power through them better. I remember watching McGrath (anaheim 06 maybe) on his smoker after everyone...
