4 hours ago The whole thing has just become so complicated now. From the passion side, you want to help people. MX seems to be a sport of people helping each other out and thats one of the things i love about it, but the grief and hassle from riders has caused a lot of that to diminish. Some kids you cant help...

5 hours ago I sponsor a fair few riders, and unless you have very good social media, and I mean exceptional, it’s pretty pointless. Tags and likes have become the new stickers on a bike. I see more benefit sponsoring riders through a dealer and engaging local audiences than I do anything else unless it’s a big hitter. As an industry we’ve also...

20 hours ago I think we’re at different perspectives when it comes to structure. The U.K. has race series that kids can compete in, it has tracks and it has all the tools there for a rider to develop their skills. Outside of that structure, I’m not sure what else is needed? The things I quoted aren’t structural issues with Schoolboy MX, they’re...

22 hours ago These kids just need to go fast, that’s the direction they need. Don’t pace yourself, don’t do all the fluff just get on your bike, ride it as fast as you can until it runs out of fuel, come back, fill it up and do it again. Riding techniques, fitness it’s all come on leaps and bounds but if you...

22 hours ago The thing is with Tommy that sets him apart as a very strong example of what kid of rider succeeds is his bikes were awful, bags of crap that had never seen a spanner and the suspension had never had a clicker adjusted. No Insta, didn’t care if he didn’t stand up or his style wasn’t nice just wanted to...

1 day ago It’s not structure, Tommy Searle started racing at East Kent and became one of our best ever riders. It’s the belief that we always need to do something else, hire another trainer, tune another engine, pay more, buy more. Fundamentally our riders are lacking in balls and racecraft. They all have the fire coached out of them by people who’ve...
MXBen711 Added a reply to MXDN Profit - Pay the riders
1 day ago So again, if they put on an extra GP or SMX would that count as a contracted race? What races are in a riders contract as I’ve never seen any specific races in there only series. This isn’t overtime, and there’s more evidence of people doing this race under my earlier mentioned terms than not. This isn’t a 6th day...
MXBen711 Added a reply to MXDN Profit - Pay the riders
1 day ago The riders get paid a salary by their teams, if it was an extra GP or SMX round this wouldnt even be a discussion. Exactly the same as teams complaining its an extra race. Governing bodies should cover travel, but as for prize money, bonuses and all that i dont see how its an argument. Nobody is being asked to...

1 day ago Our 250 pick was a tough one but Mustoe is a kid who always gives 100% and either him or his bike would have to wrecked to not finish. There are faster kids, but they haven’t got that dog in them. The only one I would have maybe gone with is Joe Brookes instead, but I think Mustoe did a...
MXBen711 Started a new thread FS CRF450 21-26 parts pipes, clamps, other parts to fit 250/450 and other random shiz in my garage
1 day ago Hi, I’ll be upgrading to a 2027 so I’m having a clear out of my current parts. The most any of these have done is 15 hours, some have done less than 5 Pro Circuit Ti-6 Big Can - the newest PC system with 109db rating and longer header. No marks, like new $750 Pro Circuit Ti-6 pro - brand...

MXBen711 Added a reply to Barry Forschelen must be fired
9/3/2026 2:19pm Although I don’t disagree that this could happen, the basic facts are if you didn’t ride a GP you weren’t considered. Brookes has shown some real speed but has crashed a bit, Mustoe is a similar speed, has been much more reliable and is a really solid choice. Askew is also fast but Mustoe won’t give up, he’ll grind out...
MXBen711 Added a reply to Honda CRF250r/450r 3D parts - Wash covers, Quick throttle, Fork height tool, Chain guide
8/22/2026 3:46am These are print files you buy for a 3D printer, the type of material would be an essential part of that so I’d say it’s a fair question
MXBen711 Started a new thread Pro Circuit 22-26 YZ125 Exhaust FS
8/14/2026 10:07am I have 2 complete systems for YZ125, one is brand new still in the packaging and is a works finish front pipe with 304 silencer. The other has been fitted to a bike and ran but still in pretty much as new condition with a works front pipe and R-304 Silencer. Asking $350 for the new one, $300 for barely...

7/29/2026 4:24am The golden rule of selling to dealers, its not sell in that counts its sell out. A brand will only ever look at what has been sold to a dealer to judge success rather than what the dealer has sold. This is how FOX have always done business and why dealers here in the UK are pushing back. We arent...
MXBen711 Added a reply to Febvre to Ducati
7/23/2026 2:39am MXGP Factory teams are backed by manufacturers. These manufacturers use the data to make better bikes, develop better settings so some of the cost allocated is also R&D. Multi Million Euro contracts are not unusual, along with Energy Drink private deals and other things. You think Herlings buys 92 rental properties with no lending on a 30k a year salary...
MXBen711 Added a reply to ML512, why is the Vital forum becoming biased now?
7/4/2026 3:21pm I think the Deegan fan boys are odd. Kid talks way too much and is like a Mike Alessi with tattoos, his T Shirt at round one took me back to ‘believe the hype’. Slice it any way you want but Jett crashed twice today in race 2 and Haiden was only 30 seconds ahead, Jett won the first race...

Really interesting seeing the difference in styles between former MXGP guys and AMA. Prado really early on the throttle but higher gear and being pulled through by the bike, Deegan full gas, clutch, aggression. Marchbanks looks like he rides the Kawi how it needs to be ridden in the first part of this video too, cool to see!

6/24/2026 6:18am I love Foxhill but i just cant stand the thought of the traffic in and out. I must be getting old

6/20/2026 7:49am The general rule of thumb from Moto Brands I work with is if it’s a product they sell with their logo, Pro Circuit for example and fork stickers, they absolutely do not want that. Using a logo on graphics they don’t really care. There’s no way it could be policed so they just ask that we provide the correct logos...
