I've got a crazy idea. Just hear me out. I know it's nuts, but just stay with me. What if...and again, I know it's insane...but what if...this very site (VITAL) who is probably the biggest platform for news/info for our sport....picked up a phone....and ASKED FELD if this was true and their justification. I know it's nuts, but boy, wouldn't...

rando chuckle I had yesterday: called local restaurant for a reservation. Just a mom/pop location. I had to endure this epic 2m long voice message about how "Press 1 for our menu, 2 for our location, 3 for reservations, etc. etc etc" and i knew damn well that one 17y old kid answered all of those extensions. Why put the...

exactly the analogy I made in the original post. A stupid accident hurt his wrist and he was never the same. I will forever shake my fist at the moto gods should this happen. We will all be robbed of what could be a career that unseats the GOAT.

I know nothing of course, but I honestly think he was busting out practice laps like a boss and thought he was home free and that remaining "pain" would sort itself out this summer. Then he got kicked in the teeth with race-pace and he tweaked it here and there and had an up/down summer. This new surgery seems like...

Jett came into the Nats cautiously optimistic. He was pretty transparent about his injury, but brushed aside many comments that it might affect his riding. Then at full pace, he's damn near crawling off the track after some motos. He then begins talking about how he's not training much during the week. Then he comes out and it hurts even...

start blocks are ridiculous. So someone is too short to effectively start? Someone taller is better? Well, isn't that what professional sports is about - everyone has an even playing field and may the best win. And those with more/better attributes for the sport will generally excel.

can you imagine spending a portion of your day on vital arguing with people about proper "leaving the forum etiquette". To each their own, I suppose.

even if you guys wanna call him Cooksey2.0...DB is highly connected to the industry. His "hot takes" might not be so click-bait. You're just used to Cooksey throwing shit against the wall and hoping for the best, but DB has come back on his pod several times and explained when he was wrong and why. And when he says things...
