Want the best team? Pay them. $50k to make the team + Podium Bonus per rider. It's not a lot of money and probably equal to a normal SX payout but it's better than what they get now (I assume). Find a way to get the money and make it happen. That being said... Open - Anderson | MX1 -...

As a former TLD employee I’m glad to hear this news. Some good came from the partnerships the company made with the two different investment groups but along the way the heart and soul of the brand deteriorated and became a shell of what it was. Hopefully the company can get back to what made the company unique in the first place and the brand can thrive. Good Luck and Congrats to Troy for getting a stranglehold on his baby.

Outside of my weekly yelling to FIRE BONDO due to his continual cutting away from live racing to show drama clips from qualifying or a previous race to try and build hype, I have no issues with watching the show. In fact, I'm grateful we have what we have available. I just cannot understand for the life of me why they feel it necessary to cut completely away from live racing to show some drama BS from earlier in the day or week. NOTE to Daniel Blair or anyone reading this who has contact with the broadcast team. NEVER CUT...

I really hope Troy sticks around the brand. I love TLD's vision and they just feel unique, unlike Thor, FLY, or others. Troy has its own personality and style, and that's badass.

I saw it up close and in person at Club Moto back in the day. Kid could fly! Funny story I was at Club Moto back in the day on my 125 with a chick I had just started dating and trying to show off and out of no where I hear some bike coming screaming up on me. Sure enough it was Alessi on his 80, I promptly pulled off the track and started looking at the engine to save face. I ended up pushing the bike bike back to my truck and told her I blew the engine...

If the vaccine worked this wouldn’t matter… People really need to worry about themselves and not what others choose or choose not to do.

I got the gig with Mikey21 doing the AMA Timing and scoring in 2003! HaHa. I thought I was too cool walking around with my AMA Shirt and didn't realize the AMA crew weren't very well liked. I think it was Elsinore. Time flies. Another name from the past KTMNelio!

So cool to hear from all you guys! Honestly, that's a big part of the reason I am able to do what I do today. Cobra314 and I started posting photos when digital cameras first came out and everyone liked them, so we just kept doing it! Here I am 15 years later still doing the same thing.
