motoBRD Added a reply to Why has Pro Motocross ignored, betrayed and eliminated Women’s MX?
10/26/2021 10:39am Is there a connection here to BMX? I switched over a few years ago and have enjoyed the local scene. It's pretty low-key. I have been following the Pro scene a bit, both Men and Women. I'm not sure if having an Elite Men/Women side has helped or hurt BMX racing in general. It seems like the opportunities are very...

motoBRD Added a reply to A message for Biondo
9/2/2021 10:28am Seemed more like a dig on the 250 class and lack protective gear these days. You don't have to wear a lot of gear to have more on than the cool kids these days. Doug Henry just took off his kidney belt!

I'll reach out to him about CNY BMX near dilla on Twitter, too. The more people he sees the from the more likely I would think he is to actually see it

7/12/2021 7:08am ^ Cool idea. I saw Weege do a Vlog at a huge BMX track down south. I completely forgot about that connection. I know there are connections to the MX world is why I thought there could be something this track could do on race day. Davi Millsaps has a kid that races BMX at a competitive expert level for...
motoBRD Started a new thread Any local fundraising ideas with a national in town?
7/12/2021 6:46am Fundraising need : a local BMX track 15min up the road from Unadilla is trying to raise $5K more to repair their track after COVID shut it down last year. The Track Operator left and local volunteers are trying to get it going again for the local kids. Does anyone have any experience fundraising in the local towns around a...

RIP Swink - this is one of the connections I've always had to MX. When I was 3 or 4, somehow my mom ended up doing some drawings for Jeremy and Brian when they rode for Peak. My dad and uncle raced expert locally, so maybe they met in the pits at Unadilla or Broome. I've always wondered...
motoBRD Added a reply to Year: 2000 Frozen Ocean MX/SX Pro Night Video (Before Unadilla or Binghamton?)
3/29/2021 11:35am One WTF memory I had from high school was of the Alessi's showing up for the night race. The layout that year had a big sweeper into a single after the straight by the crowd. Mike was running 2nd behind Brock Sellards. Mike tried to get by on the inside of the sweeper, but as they approached the single his...
motoBRD Added a reply to What Happened To The Broome-Tioga National?
4/22/2019 6:12pm I remember it being a Honda, but I couldn't remember who it was. I thought Windham, but I knew it wasn't. Thanks for remembering. My favorite spot to watch was the section where they'd drop back down the hill from the back section. I'd watch them all day flying down that hill thru all the braking bumps, rutted lines, and...
motoBRD Added a reply to What Happened To The Broome-Tioga National?
4/22/2019 7:32am The last weekend of March I took my kids to an indoor BMX race down by Broome. I went a different way home and my wife missed telling me some turns on the navigation. We're out on some very rural country back roads, and all of a sudden I see the track out the window. I whip back around and...

3/21/2018 6:31pm Thanks for the response Derek. I will for sure be signing up for a demo this year, another for western NYer.
motoBRD Added a reply to Forum QNA: Derek Dorresteyn - Alta Motors
3/21/2018 5:57pm Hey Derek, I appreciate the fact that you are taking the time to do this QNA. I've been following Alta carefully and am very interested in all the bikes. I've been away from racing and bikes for a few years (current 250f is in pieces needing engine work). What is the pitch to someone like me to buy the current...
motoBRD Added a reply to The triple crown was awesome but they should reverse
3/5/2018 5:05pm I like that they're trying new things, and even the reverse race order could be cool. Whatever they do, they need to figure out how to name it. If you're going to race a 3 moto format like LL, don't call it 3 main events. That sounds so stupid and makes parts of the broadcast confusing. Put simply, and I...
motoBRD Added a reply to Jesse Wentland draws the line
1/24/2018 8:24pm The show...privateers in my opinion are part of the show. Literally, a few of them make "the show" every race. Personally, I like following riders from my home state of NY. I'm low on privateers at this point. Bring me back a Paul Carpenter or Bobby Kiniry and that certainly adds something for me. A good LCQ where Peick and...
motoBRD Added a reply to Jesse Wentland draws the line
1/24/2018 2:06pm I agree, markets do change. It just doesn't seem like ours has changed much. Someone may blast me with facts here (edit: wait this vital right), but it seems like the number of factory rides hasn't gone up or down much in the past 25yrs, and we have about the same number of participants at the pro level. Has the...

1/24/2018 1:21pm I don't know why I read all of that, but here we are - 9 pages deep and nowhere near what I believe is at the heart of the issue. And since this is a forum, I'll leave my unsupported opinion right here, just like the rest of you. I believe strongly that the market dictates what is fair, and...
motoBRD Added a reply to Milestone & Perris getting ROASTED
1/16/2018 10:28am This is a sore spot for me. Granted, I hadn't been on a bike for a bit and I've never been that good. I was at a practice day and a group of guys were sitting on their bikes shooting the breeze after this small little double double section, right near the edge of the track. I see them and...
