mxtech1 Added a reply to Why didnt gasgas keep the old frame?
4/11/2023 6:08am Because they don't want to manufacture 2 different frame versions for the 3 different brands. Its cheaper, less complex, and streamlines operations when they're only producing a single model for the 450 platforms.

The ONLY thing that gets tired or holds me back on the track is my hands cramping/pumping up (mainly my thumb muscles). Outside of moto, I train 3 times a week off the bike and ride 1 day a week typically. Rest 3 days out of the week. My #1 go to exercise is pull ups. I do 40-50 pull ups per workout, usually 4-5 sets of 10. I do a lot of circuit training, usually 4-5 full circuits per training session. My circuit routine is: pull ups (10), light flat bench presses (10-12 reps), chest flies with rubber bands...

4/7/2023 8:02am That's an old myth that fails to die. 20+ is way too many reps to be doing for a regular routine. All you're going to accomplish is fatiguing your muscles. There's quite a bit of scientific research that shows for most regular gym goers, somewhere between 6-12 reps is an optimal balance. Reps beyond that range had a diminishing return...

4/7/2023 6:06am I lifted weights every single day for about a year and got strong, but still left me tired on the bike. Although I put on muscle and felt strong, I wasn't all that fit because I failed to focus on incorporating high intensity workouts into my routine. On a "good" week i'd work in a couple short rows or maybe...

4/5/2023 8:02am Hard starting 4-strokes. Man...those early days... I swear if you even looked at the bike wrong it wasn't going to start

4/3/2023 7:10pm Honestly, just eat a balanced diet consisting of Whole Foods and you should be good to go. Your body responds amazingly well when you cut out added sugars, unhealthy oils, and eat foods made of ingredients that you can understand.

I have worked in this industry a long time, and every mechanic has done side work for extra cash, $12.50/hr working in the shop vs $100 just to change someones battery. I do it, but not for everyone, there are a handful of people that I will do side work for and thats it, and thats because there is a level of mutual trust. As a mechanic there are plenty of customers that will try and screw you, blame you for something, so be careful.

I have my moments. I’ve also had my moments of not being so good. It’s nice to give grace or a helping hand when times are rough or life just screws you. I’ve had my fair share of it all the last couple years, some self inflicted and some recentely where life just sucks.

3/20/2023 4:47pm
Any given Pro Motocross National needs around 60 safety flaggers to help facilitate a safe racing environment. The last decade or so, some track organizers are struggling to meet even 50% of those needs, so I've set out to help recruit volunteers year round through a website I started. If you've ever wanted to get involved with the Pro Motocross Nationals or an Arenacross races - you can register as a Safety Flagger on www.FlaggerFinder.com We've partnered with the AMA and MX Sports, and will be taking registrants all the way through August for Pro Motocross. Forgive the self promotion...

3/20/2023 7:33am What about a section within the site where fantasy players can come to get rider statistics for making picks? Rider statistics are available, but spread out across multiple websites and it's fairly tedious to analyze picks each week. For example, have to watch the RM fantasy SX show, visit archived supercross results to look at results from last year for...

3/18/2023 7:45am Metal shavings or metallic debris? Big difference there. I would say some small amount of metallic debris, very fine particulate matter, is somewhat normal. Metal shavings on the other hand, is not normal and if it was me I would automatically be concerned and want to tear the engine down to figure out where it's coming from before a catastrophic...

3/16/2023 1:43pm "Local grass roots racing like any other business can't find flaggers that will do it correctly." Wardy You've been at this long enough to know why you can't find flaggers that will do it correctly. Tracks offer what....$40-$100 and a free hot dog and soda from concessions per flagger for braving the elements for 8-10 hours? In most cases, this...
mxtech1 Added a reply to Silencing the Media? (Hunter v Thrasher)
3/13/2023 5:46pm The potential Thrasher/Hunter drama doesn’t fit Feld’s narrative of ramming the Lawrences & Deegan down your throat, so they try to mitigate it rather than cover the story if anything unfolds.
