i already know i'm going to catch hell for this, but let me start by saying i love watching the WMA at the nationals, because it's some of the best racing of the day. that said, however, i feel there is no way fiolek, patterson, gieger and company could ever qualify for a national. i know a few women have...

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum, but not the sport. I have worked in the industry and been a part of it for years, and still work with some young up-and-comers. After lurking for a little while, I thought this site was pretty cool, so I thought I'd add my 2 cents from time to time. Don't beat...

Did you guys see Richard Branson (Virgin Records mogul) has teamed up with some space engineer/rocket scientist guy to build an aircraft that will take civilians (well, rich ones that pay $200,000 per ticket!) to fly into orbit and back again. Amazing. Seems like anything is possible nowadays. The craft is called "SpaceShip Two" (and another wild looking plane called...

...how dominant athletes are in other sports! I know Jimmie Johnson winning his fourth consecutive NASCAR title is a huge deal, it's a damned-impressive feat, but they are talking about him like he was the most dominant athlete in any sport, ever! Does Ricky not even get a mention? I mean, he won TEN motocross titles in a row, won...

will the full version of Reflex allow you to customize the controller? I loved the demo, but I HATE where the throttle/brake/clutch are. will we be able to change that stuff?

with a concussion? controversy aside, he did get up loopy and grab the wrong bike, and had to be TOLD he grabbed the wrong bike! i think that dude rode the toughest main event of the year with a concussion (even if it was slight, still gnarly), and got 7th! pretty impressive, and no, i'm not a james superfan, just...

...we went back to the "old days" and ran each moto 45mins? do you think anything would have changed at Glen Helen? I still think Villopoto would have won (probably by an even larger margin), but what about the next few guys? would everyone have held their positions, or would guys have faded? and in the lites, would we have...

OK, nobody's said it yet, so I will--GREAT JOB Branden! you are riding like your old self again, and it's good to see. ps--starting to like the scott gear he is wearing and there was a presser out a few days ago by Tallon V giving Branden props for being the first to put it on the podium. wonder if...

after reading his monday conversation on racer x, i think it couldn't have come at a better time. coming off a suspension, and last week not being able to race, and then hearing him say in the rx interview he's "running out of money", would lead me to believe he really, really needed something good to happen. he even said...

I read yesterday that Jack Elway (son of former Broncos QB John Elway), has quit football. he is a student at ASU, and by all accounts would have been a stud on the field, but states that he wants to go in a different direction with his life, because he's burned out on football. just got me thinking about all...

1/17/2012 6:26pm
couple surprises at Indy already. some fast guys didn't even qualify, like Durham and Justin Sipes, and a few guys I thought would be in the hunt for top 5 or even podium, like Jake Moss, Vince Friese and Kyle Cunningham had races they would like to forget about. I just think it's so deep this year, if you get...

LMFAO! holy smokes, dave, uptight much? my goodness, I'm sorry I called a start a "holeshot", but jeez, I thought everyone would know what I meant, that's why I got sarcastic and made the "douche" comment! as for what I teach my kids, if you really think calling a 10th place start a "10th place holeshot" is going to make...

for those of you who have never raced before, let me explain how a race starts: all of the racers line up behind a gate, and when it falls, they all go as fast as they can to the first turn. this is commonly referred to as the "holeshot". what I was referring to in my post, was my rider...

yeah, for sure. he flew outdoors last year. he finished out a moto in the top 5 last year at steel city, if I'm not mistaken. supercross is a totally different animal, though, so it may take him a few races to get his feet wet. certainly one to watch into the future, though.

From experience, I know for sure that the customer does NOT get what the race team gets--not even close! the transmissions on the team bikes are worth more than most of our cars! although PC does nice work, there are a couple of smaller companies that put out a great motor, like Blonix (Cali) or Eleven 10 Mods (Pennsylvania).

Adam--4 stroke controversy aside, I want to thank you for bringing this link back to our attention. I have a personal interest in Johnny and Chase, as I have stayed at their house a few times (pre-injury), and ridden many laps at Monster Mountain with Chase and Johnny. I sent a card when this happened, but I'm ashamed to admit...

As I sit here reading through a few of these, I thought maybe I'd share a story about how I perceive the Alessi's (namely Tony) to really be. It was 2002, Loretta Lynn's. I was down in staging as the riders got ready to pull their spoons and load into the gate. It was the 80cc Expert class, and Mike...
