Johnny Depp Added a reply to Supercross Flat Tires?

It happens rarely, and I'm surprised the teams even had spare wheels ready to mount in the stadium, but that wheel changing process could stand a ton of improvement compared to road racing. Slow as molasses. Might as well ride with the flat.

It's time to stop bagging on the Sachs suspension just because you or the suspension shop is unfamiliar with it. A lot of riders set it up like all other 12" travel MX bikes and with 10" of travel that is a big mistake. the sag should be less, 1/3 of total travel, more than that and the front end...

Thanks for the surprisingly positive comments. This is a notoriously tough crowd. Compare the 5 minute highlight here against almost any Supercross highlight video from the last 20 years and see who gets more entertainment. And, it is from our friends at the FIM...

My wife is a casual fan that I force to watch occasionally, it has been a while. We have attended many SX races over the years. It took her about 2 minutes to say, "nothing has changed, it's the same old up and down and up and down" "oh Reed is still racing?" "Where's Dungey?" It is a lost cause...

Most people find the Beta's less expensive than Orange and White unless you talk about leftover's. BYOB isn't going to suit everyone, but if you want the springs changed you actually get to buy the bike for under MSRP after the discount is applied, not bad at all. The Marzocchi forks are now replaced by the closed cartridge Sachs with...

Parts are not an issue. It is just like any other make. They have proven to be very reliable. There is nothing old school about the feel, I race one and have ridden all the new KTM's at the demo day and swapping bikes with friends. Here is a good test on the '16 300, it's reviews like this that...

All but 5 of the 14 '16 models are currently not available for BYOB due to dealer demand. There may be another build run in Italy of 300's TBD. If you want one you need to go dealer direct or get a deposit on the '17's. 2-Strokes (none) n X-Trainer n 250RR n 300RR n 250 Race Edition n...

The Build Your Own Bike program is great for a few reasons. You get a credit for some of the parts you choose to upgrade, others that Beta has no use for they ship with the bike. The install labor is FREE. You also have the convenience of knowing what fits and it's all in one place. The distributor calls...

You get what you negotiate, no one is giving anything away for free. What would it be worth to Feld to have RV22 back on the starting line? If the 3 hr. TV show can be improved in entertainment value and bring more eyes to the TV screen that would increase the size of the pie that gets cut up.
