Very clean resto. More pics here...https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-yamaha-yz-250/ (Not my bike)

The democratization of media has been a good thing across the board for content consumers: more variety and better coverage. The competition for clicks can trigger innovation and creativity. The only downside side is wading through some of the dreck. When the event owners crack down and limit access, they’ll eventually stifle this creative impulse.

The iPhone stuff on YouTube shows the condition of the track better than official content.

There is a small part of me that longs for the old magazines and the way we would consume the news and info on the sport without distraction and noise that comes with the modern overload. A larger part of me is firmly in 2026 and try to consume as much content over a weekend as possible. A lot of that is random dudes track side that fill in the blanks and provide a different perspective. While I don’t bitch about the quality of official content, iPhone stuff on YouTube is more often than not much better than the videopass.

iPhone, burkeen provides some really great footage and content. I don’t care if it’s an iPhone or a $6k camera, he gets footage and shots guys with 40k in equipment never will. Dude works hard, runs all over the track side literally running from turn to turn to get the angles and views he does. Some high end established outlets will absolutely not be running up the hills and up the jumps to get these views. But sure “the best” will remain. The ones “they” say are the best will remain. And so it goes.

Since the Colorado location was specifically mentioned in this thread, I feel it is fair to give my side of the story. I can only speak about my own documented experience. I owned and operated an established suspension business before entering the TBT franchise relationship. I paid the franchise fee and completed training because I believed I was purchasing an organized franchise system with manuals, documented procedures, technical support, clear parts requirements, marketing assistance, and value from the TBT name. That was not what I experienced. I repeatedly had to chase basic information, follow up on unanswered emails and messages...

Man these modern big 2 strokes are the shit. You just put that SOB in 4th in the woods and fly. Tourqe for days.

"Moto media needs to be more like mainstream sports!!" RacerX reports a publicly available arrest report... "Screw RacerX, they shouldn't report this until all the facts are out!!" If they didn't report it, people would say it's a bro show and they are protecting one of their own. Reporting the facts and nothing else shouldn't be a problem. Wow.

Did RacerX put out Andersons arrest report or are they pickin on Alessi?

Sounds like he had a kid with him and took something not worth a lot of money from a shed or something. To me, this screams that there is way more to this story, so I encourage everyone to hold off on judging Mike until more details are released.

Hadn't heard of these and just went to their site to check them out..... The bars might work well, but that might be the worst website design I have seen since like 2004. Black text on a fading black background? I literally had to highlight the text so I could read it. https://twistedengineering.com/

Can't speak for anyone else, but I can promise you it's not confirmation bias for me. More like intolerable wrist pain in my left wrist, numbness in my hands, and overall discomfort w/o them. Trust me - I've switched back and forth and tried to break up with Flexx bars, but I always end up crawling back....lol.

The Precision Damper bolts right up without issue. We're working on a Scotts mount, both above and below bar options.

I have been using them for years. Best bar on the market. Every bike in my shop (4) has them. Tough as nails, highly adjustable and rebuildable. Not to mention that the owner Cole Townsend is core moto and the nicest guy around.

Shameless plug for our new Nexus bar mounts... Much lighter, lower profile, better steering precision, and less expensive than the Mako, Flexx bars, Urmosi, etc. They include all three bushings for tuning (you don’t have to buy them separate as you do with the competing products). Well proven in racing with multiple GNCC wins, Hard Enduro podiums, and points scored in both Pro Motocross classes, plus we’ve gotten tons of positive feedback from customers. Available to fit our triple clamps and most all stock triple clamps. https://www.luxonmx.com/shop-products.html
