8/21/2025 6:02am I've been contemplating some 23.5mm clamps (Luxon or Ride) - was there something specific that you were trying to fix with the clamps? Can you elaborate a bit more on what was better? Thanks.

Crossfire 3 SRS is likely the stiffest soled boot. the Cross Air (their newest boot line) is significantly less stiff in the sole. I thoroughly enjoy the peg feel of them, but very very flexible in the sole right from the factory. Also, try your boots on and break them in a bit before riding in the since you've got hardware (unless yours is to be removed). The screws in my lower leg (tibial rod) sometimes like to rub the inside of my boots the wrong way and create a really painful experience. Been putting off getting a consult to...

Boots definitely get softer the more you ride in them. Atomic moto has some videos on his site and YouTube showing the flexibility of some popular boots. Astars are nowhere near as stiff as sidi in my experience and I have had tech 7 and 10. The 10 ankle doesn’t have the mobility of a sidi but it is much softer over the top of the toes. If you broken your foot in sg12 I don’t know kid any other boot would help unless they were all clapped out.

So, I work in AI/Pharma, and the new deep researcher tools are cool. They essentially combine a bunch of AI agents on a research team with pubmed/internet access. Of course, I had to ask it our favorite question: where does motocross rank in terms of how physically demanding it is? Here is the report: When you consider cardio, strength, and skill, motocross belongs at the very top of the list of demanding sports—right up there with XC skiing, 2k rowing, MMA/boxing, and water polo. Why Motocross is “S-Tier” 1. Cardiovascular load: near max the whole moto On-track physiology studies show...

Ive ridden and owned a lot of 350s. Bad decel pops or flame outs on the regular arent how it should run. You could have something thats just a tad off. Spending that money while worth it when things are right might not solve your problems. Im guessing you have already gone thru all that.

8/20/2025 6:37am I've heard differing opinions regarding the CUO unit, but I purchased it for my '24 350 SX-F and it came on my 24.5 Husky 450 F.E., and I will put it on any Austrian bike I buy in the future. For me personally, it's absolutely worth it, simply for the lap time and analysis feature(s). I have 9 dirt bikes...

8/19/2025 1:36pm
I am running top of the line Luxon clamps for the following reason ... 1. They are functionality better than stock ktm, i suck, but i am ggood eenough to nnotice better feel and ccomfort with them. 2. They look cool 3. The owner of Luxon is a long time friend, supports the sport so I want to support him. 4. I stopped drinking 20 months ago, dropped 60lbs and learned i wasted an iinfinite amount of mmoney on beer vs bIke parts. 5. I buy what i want, and dont give a fuck what anyone thinks or says. 😀

Believe it or not, the JK Racing team has their semi parked right by my local burger van RIGHT NOW. They actually came out to order at the same time I was there so naturally I talked to them about it. The bike was fine, Gifting crashed on his own. The start motor broke so thats why he couldnt get back going. The did absolutely not sound gutted about it. They were sooo pumped that he did what he did. Extremely friendly guys to talk to.

Ahhhh no sir. No, no. When you have no tact, taking very little in personal responsibility, putting it all on the team while saying I'd be winning its all the bike.... that's when you get lit up. Again, he said he'd be winning. I see a divorce with Kawi in the very near future.

This is not fair. Of all the "journalists" this sport has Lewis is the one that asks the hard questions. We are lucky to have him.

His flow looks like a C rider in his/her first race. Straight to the corner , turn, straight etc etc. The other riders have flow, arcing the straights to keep the momentum up. Yep, throw Harrison on Andersons bike. Im over it at this point. I cannot think of a time in the last 40 years of being a fan where a rider is struggling this bad.

I was thinking the same thing, Kawi just needs to cut ties and not let him ride the 2nd moto. The bike is plenty good enough and looked the most stable and planted in qualifying of all the bikes. All he's doing at this point is making the bike and brand look bad.

He cant say the bike isn't fast enough as he got passed going into a corner on the brakes and then he also pulled Kroc up hill. He went from 1st to 6th on first lap again and may fall out of top ten. Oops I spoke to soon , he may fall out of top 15 🤨
