All the 40 classes my god if they woulda had 1 that woulda filled 17 gates. Why the fuck they need so many ?!?

Offroad has a soft spot in my heart, especially being the terrible jumper I am. Long laps/loops are what make me salivate. Offroad is where the guy on the brand new 450 gets his door blown off by the blue collar, mismatched gear wearing guy on the 1998 YZ250 that has been missing graphics since his tip over in 2004

Your “buddy” is full of it. No dealer is making $2500 off the sale of a 250/450. Divide that by 5 and most dealers would be thrilled....

62 years old, have been racing for 50 years now. I have read thru every post on this thread and every one is legit. The changes in the society of this country alone are enough to ever keep the sport from becoming anything like it was back in the day. I am proud and fortunate that I got to be a part of it.

I think the biggest problem is acceptance not cost. A beginner showing up on an XR 200 with work boots and street bike helmet will be heckled by the cool guys. That's why it's important to establish riding clubs to attract new riders. Right now it's individuals not a community.

MX race formats need to be looked at, there's so much that could be improved. For one, it sucks spending a whole day to spin two 5-10 minute moto's that can be 6 hrs apart that cost you $45 and whatever other mandatory membership you need for the day that costs an additional $40-50, and you might get a 5 minute practice before the racing. Plus, most peoples attitudes at the track are based off their ego. There's a reason off road racing numbers are growing, more riding, friendlier crowd, more fun. Just my .02

I jumped right into the clown sewer cause I saw 125 in the title. Still , I am envious of that sweet new ride!

I'm nearly a Vet (38 years old) sold my 450sx 2 years ago as I didn't ride enough and the thing pretty much ripped my arms off when the dreaded arm pump set in, I used to dread racing the thing at times So found a cheap RM125 (what I started on ) and spent a year rebuilding it from the frame up which was brilliant fun and bought back loads of memory's, took it out on track last season and I had the biggest grin on my face and fell back in love with mx again, it took a...

Does a 47 year old and a 150 count?

Currently rebuilding a bike from my youth. All stock sans a 2001 cr250 front end. Really looking forward to ripping this thing.

Okay lining up this Sat for the first time in 15 years or so. Been riding on my own track the past couple years and it's time to get a couple races in and see where i stand. Riding the OTMX at ACP in Phx probably go novice since i haven't been in competition for a long time. Did very well in the 40+ intermediate 20 years ago on a YZ 167 big bore. Should be fun no matter the finish position. The 99 167 The 14 125

Got my 125 this winter. Only gotten to ride it once. Can’t wait for warm weather.

I love my 19 TC125, but these damn YZs sure are mighty fine machines. Welcome to the madness!

It’s so hard not to take the click-bait some days!!!!!

Fuck this dude.
