"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.

That’s my kind of clapped out bike: Top reasons to buy a stripped down clapped out bike: No arguments on the dyno, runs super clean with open intake, no need for an air box, easy access lubing, low maintenance, easy clutch play check with the cable length visible, quick rebuilds if anything fails, easy frame inspection,No need for extra weight with fasteners, or clamps, quick dry weight estimation, never worry about laying her down and breaking the blinkers off, it’s all in the frame flexibility they say. A natural beauty in its bare state must be admired, a conversation starter...

Unfortunately the answer is already an option and people won’t adopt it until it’s too late… E-bike tracks in industrial zone areas in/near the city would bring our sport back.

You're ignoring the elephant on the room. No matter how we feel... Build practice tracks at MX facilities for the plethora of E bikes and E scooters. Build of few practice tracks in neighborhoods and empty warehouses. Take advantage of the no noise to build the sport.

I'd make a scientific wild ass guess that 95-98% of people have never swung a leg over a motocross bike, and even less have spun a lap on a motocross bike. I think that's one of the biggest barriers. Motocross is a very "if you know you know" kind of sport. If you've never been on motocross track then you have zero context for what a thrill and challenge it is in a multitude of ways. Next imo is our sports relationship with public school systems. The better a young MX talent is, the more he is distanced from middle/high...

I like the 125 vet class idea

"Less risk" "30 minute motos" Bruh.

I Replace the air bleed screws with the push button style bleeders. I Bleed the air out every time I strap the bike down. I push the button again with the bike on the stand to let air back in. If you do have a leaking fork seal and do this, it will leak a lot less while pulled down.

Now comes the amusing part, where 90 percent of those who have been chomping at the bit for this bike, the " Im 100 percent getting one" crowd finds all kinds of reasons that they could not possibly live with this bike lol.

I agree with Tbones, make sure the clickers are set to recommended settings and ride. The forks should be pretty good. For the shock I would recommend trying to get a 100 to 110mm race sag. (105 ideally ) Once you get that check your static sag, if less than 30mm then it would be recommended to get a stiffer shock spring. Try to get that static sag measurement between 30-40mm as much as possible for the shock to perform well and not top out. After about 5-7 hours of ride time the suspension should be broken in and May...

I'm pretty sure you have to wear a kidney belt for floating brake setup to work properly. I just don't think we are going to see any meaningful advancements in floating brake setups until every riding gear company has a full rainbow of kidney belts in their lineup again.

I think we can solve this with technology.. Every rider has a transponder and those green lights nowdays… so, as a rider is about to get lapped, they can have a blue light somewhere - crossbar, under the visor etc, whatever works. The light goes blue whenever someone from the lead lap is within X amount of seconds from them, so say the leader has a 20 second lead, as soon as they go by, the blue lights come off until second comes up to them. Simple rule, no passing when a rider has a blue light. Sometimes the flags...

I had also mentioned a couple posts back, a front bumper blue light and make it flash when they get close type thing would go a long ways.

What training facility are you sending JR to this summer?
