Representing your country to the best of your ability is never embarrassing

Deegan won on effort and results. That's all I look at. The social media stuff may put money in the bank and kudos for them knowing how to capitalize but us core dudes only care about what happens when the gate drops and that throttle gets turned to "11". Danger knows how to twist it...and I can dig that.

I am a Deegan fan but the "haters" thing is insufferable. Longest autograph line in the pits, probably more fans than any other rider, already. So please stop this corny, scripted angle. If haters bothered these ppl so much, then don't broadcast your whole life on the internet. Just a thought. That being said, I thought it was cool that he won in that venue, considering his dad's success there. I think Haiden will be very tough to beat in '24. I just hope that he matures a bit because a lot of the time it's cringe when he talks.

The rules need to change on restarts. It should be staggered start after 1 lap completed... race considered complete if less than 5 minutes to go.

Hmmmm. Legendary rider on an all new bike representing a serious effort from an important manufacturer while being ridden in a historic location during practice in the final round of an all new series only a few months out from the bike’s racing debut. SMH that the majority of comments are about the color and lack of decals. Guess I’m easily entertained. Personally I’m hoping for big things from them. This is a massive undertaking and a huge financial risk in a highly competitive market of very well developed bikes. Good luck guys.

Bauer Liked a forum topic Anyone else thinking about going to Ernee for the MXdN?
8/2/2023 9:06am
Wondering who else might be heading to France in October. Ernee should be insane and a tough place for our guys to defend the Chamberlain Cup. The last MXdN that I went to in Europe was in 2004 at Leirop (Holland). The USA didn't send a team, but we went anyway and it was a total blast! Scott Kandel and I had launched our Wonder Warthog Racing privateer support programs here in the states earlier in the year, reimbursing the entry fee of every privateer who made the show at a SX or National. We were trying to build the...

8/1/2023 3:01pm All this talk of heat is making me jealous! It hasn't stopped raining much for weeks here in the UK and is around 60 degrees most days. Some tracks are shut due to flooding

Luxon MX Liked a forum topic Triumph Frame Development
7/30/2023 1:42pm
The Triumph frame video was pretty interesting and had a lot of development details that are easy to miss if you're not looking for them. I haven't seen any other manufacturer showing details like this, so it's pretty cool they did. The video showed multiple different frames in different stages of development. I would assume one of the first frames created was the 3D printed frame. This looks to be printed from aluminum and used as a mock up rather than an actual prototype that someone would test, but it's possible they finished it and rode with it (they just...

7/29/2023 3:29pm Im 6ft 4 and ride a 21 KTM SX250 with stock height bars, seat and pegs. Feels great. Ive done high bars and seats etc in the past, but it just ruins the cornering abilities. KXF450 and KTM 450 also feel very comfy

When the same thing happens over and over and over its no longer bad luck. That being said hes clearly made some changes by going to ryno and trying to get his technique perfected and most of all hes not making any excuses. Count me in as one of the ppl who didnt like his attitude in the past, but Ive been rooting for him lately to make a comeback. I think hes been plenty humbled by life at this point and he no longer seems to act like a cocky asshole. He seems down to earth now and is...

I’ve never really been a Forkner fan mainly due to his cocky attitude early in his career. Having said that, I now feel myself rooting for him especially after all he has been through the last couple years. The kid can’t buy a break that’s for sure! Hopefully Ryno can help him get on track and back to being competitive. Heal up AF!

7/22/2023 8:03am Thanks. Did a few bits this morning - Checked for leaks whilst running with carb cleaner around the carb, boots, intake, reed block, and igntion cover. No change detected. Took carb off and cleaned. Jetting is stock, 450 main 35 pilot. Air screw was about 3 turns out so have adjusted to 1.5. Took the Vforce 4R reed block out...

7/20/2023 8:05am Ive got a strange situation with my 2021 KTM SX250 2 stroke that im soon to investigate, but would be interested if anyone has any advice first. The bike starts easy in 1 or 2 kicks from cold with choke, and warms up great. Its a little more smokey than ideal but once warm there is no smoke at all...

A lot of people ask why I ride dirt bikes period. They don’t get it. It’s dangerous, expensive, you get dirty and pelted with rocks often having small irritating injuries…..but we love it. Same way I don’t ask people why they’d jump out of an airplane. It’s what they like. So to answer what it is about 2strokes it’s about history, sound, power delivery and it’s just what some of us like. Sorry if that annoys some of you. Those who love classic cars don’t like them because they’ll best a Ferrari. It’s just what they like. No one cares...

7/3/2023 2:13pm Been racing for 20 years, on a mixture of bikes but mainly 450s. Started on 125s, then moved up. Recently bought a 2021 KTM SX250 at 40 years old and can honestly say its the best ive ever ridden, the most fun ive had, and the most comfortable ive ever felt. Sounds great, its light, not too much power, and...

7/3/2023 2:03pm Something to do with Brain Science i think Fully fit Herlings would run with Jett and probably beat him, but its very rare to have him fully fit these days. Would be fun to see Jett actually go 100% for a full moto though, imagine how far ahead those two would be!

I tried a 450 last year. It was fine until I ruptured my ACL when I low sided in a rut. Up until that point I had won several races and moved up to 30+ Intermediate. Then, I really started to think about how much fun I was actually having. I realized there was not a single moment on my CRF where I thought "wow this is so much fun!". In fact, it was pretty fucking boring. Or really a back and forth between boredom and hanging on for dear life. I told a lot of people the following words...
