Derek....I thought you would have known what Adam was up to these days? I remember Casey telling me he went to work for Yamaha. Would love to know what he's up to now. Hanging out and riding with you guys was the best part of my time there....almost wish I was still doing just that today!

Hey!! I went to OSU for ME as well! I didn't graduate....didn't even finish a full year......I did just sell my business to a private equity group and have a guaranteed job for a few years. I'm about a year older than you btw. As I type this I realize how damn lucky I am!! My advice.....go to school, get...

Well look who woke up from their mid-afternoon nap! Just in time to shoot your mouth off on the internet. We'll see who is clearing everything at 215 tomorrow AND the fastest in the turns.....it's on old man!!

Shit, they better not mellow that straight out.....it was sick! It was way easier than it looked too but there will always be those that can't handle stuff I guess. 215MX is open wed, sat, sun and occasionally other days. See their Facebook for updates. You riding right now peelout?

215MX is the best maintained and built track in SLC. It is literally minutes from downtown. Jordan River OHV is also right next to it but is horribly maintained and full people who have no business on an MX track. Ogden has OCA which is for members only but it's pretty easy to get in still if you know someone...

Why do you question this degree? That's what I went to school for as well.....now I design engine components for MX bikes and own my own business. If you want to make money (in any industry) work hard and explore opportunities to do something that nobody else is doing or not doing well.....hopefully you can do it better and use...

I thought someone might mention the fact that FOX, TLD and probably a few other gear/boot companies handle their own distribution. From what I've heard first hand from people that work at some of these companies.....it's a rough deal! Remeber though, FOX was a distributor at first. Kind of like how Western is a distributor and now sells FLY. Actually...

Your'e right, they might be huge.....and they might fail miserably. I don't think it's a bad thing that they are making an MX boot. I personally have spent WAY too much money on Dunk SB's in my day so I'm not a Nike hater. I just don't think with declining bike and aftermarket sales, plus consumer loyalty to core brands...

Yep, they did it with skateboarding early on. Nike tried to get into skateboarding in the late '90s and flopped. It wasn't until they relaunched as Nike SB that it took off. Nike 6.0 is just an attempt to cash in on the percentage of kids that can't afford to pay $100-$500 for a pair of Dunk SB's. I don't...

I got a chance to ride an MX400 back in '03 and I have a '10 YZF450 now.......the two are worlds apart. You can't even begin to compare them. I'd imagine the Nike boots will look a bit funky at first but have some cool technology and amazing fitment that makes them a bit better than what's currently available. I...

Faction_MX Added a reply to Langston switching to Oneal

4/17/2016 7:32pm
When did Langston wear O'neal previously? I thought he was Thor > M2R > MSR. Surprised JHill didn't sign with a Tucker owned brand like Answer or MSR.

Faction_MX Added a reply to YZ450F 2010 opinions/impresions?

12/18/2009 9:11pm
Sorry, I highly doubt they are at 60HP with little more than an exhaust. I have a '10 YZF450 myself and already like it better than my '09 CRF450 with MANY mods. I have not noticed any excessive vibration like others noted. The intake noise is definitely more noticeable but not a bad thing to me. WAY more impressed with...

Faction_MX Added a reply to Chad Reed Backflip

9/23/2009 9:39am
I'm about positive that is back by Godfrey Trucking off Hwy. 201 in Salt Lake. I remember going out there to watch Travis do tandem backflips with people a couple years ago into the same pile of wood chips. If that IS Chad Reed is pretty impressive.......Bubba did TRY doing a backflip into a foam pit recently for a reality...
