About Me
What can I say? I love dirtbikes! Actually, I love anything with wheels or an engine. You can either find me in the pits constantly staring at every part on a factory team's bike, or up at 4 A.M. watching Formula 1 and the World GPs. During normal hours, I'm behind a desk here at Vital MX smashing my fingers into the keyboard, or out at the track testing new bikes and parts (check out our reviews! Shameless plug...).

If you have any ideas or things you'd like to see on the site, product or bike related, or if you want to give me an award for my duties (or yell at me for incompetence), message me anytime!

The clutch, mostly the internal rubbers, is the one thing that has me concerned about the new design. Time will tell when everyone gets their hands on it. According to the R&D team, a version of that clutch has been in the MXGP bikes for almost three years. However, the US team has never used it when I asked them.

They had one at the intro that Hunter and Trey rode a bit. The crew said they were still finalizing the ECU mapping for the WE, I think we will test it in about 2-3 months. It's coming a tick later than the standard model to dealerships.

The same 10 people arguing in circles, welcome to digging into COVID and political topics (hey all, remember that COVID topics are off limits?) Anyhow, this topic is going to the dungeon, and a host of you have received temp suspensions since you can't all stop fighting, and a few of you have gone beyond arguing and are attacking each...

No, because there's no further information on the subject of media access changes for Feld in 2027, just some faint rumors floating around. We should have more info inside the next month.

2026 Pro Motocross News 2 %281%29.jpg?VersionId=4J80NDpCLsI5sqxrBxq9.q3JGBQ
We’re nearing the end of the 2026 Pro Motocross championship, but there are still so many storylines to discuss. This week Star Racing is the major talking point with new parts, multiple riders fighting over potentially one spot, and bringing a familiar name to the USA? Cameron McAdoo’s WSX run is going to have a different look than we expected, as he will be present at at least one round on a Pro Circuit machine. Plus, so many other rumors and bike setups to talk about.

There are a few odd ones in there. Mx6 hasn't asked Kelley to return. A few people have reached out to Cochran's camp, but he's waiting out a potential Star offer...

" I did take a shot at you and did not expect a smile." You know what else I've learned in the past few years? In no world do I have to put up with people like you. Just because we have freedom of speech doesn't mean I have to put up with you. I think people have forgotten that...

My two-week comment was about the WSX rider; it had nothing to do with the AMA subject. As for the "banhammer threat," yeah, man, when you walk into someone's place of business and shit in it, then point at the guy in charge, it's usually not well received. Wether its myself, GuyB, or your local bike shop. You took a...

I just answered your question, but if you want to be a dick about it, you can find somewhere else to comment. I'm always down to answer questions on here, but in no world do I deserve shit like that comment you just made.
