powDIRT Added a reply to Supercross is Stale
4/21/2013 5:30pm The OP is right. It is stale. I've followed SX since I was a little kid and now I'm totally bored with it. This is the second year in a row that I've gotten all jacked up for A1 and then by A3, I'm bored with it. Haven't watched a whole race program since. Most of my riding buddies don't...

1/8/2013 7:06pm I can't get over how flawlessly he handled those whoops. He was so damn smooth. It was like there was no bounce whatsoever.
powDIRT Added a reply to Motocross Future?
12/9/2012 10:34pm Here in NJ, I'll say the biggest problem the sport has is the lack of legal riding areas. Parents don't even think about buying their kids a bike because "there is no place to ride". Parents don't want to have to take their kids to a motocross track to teach them how to ride for the first time. And 3...
powDIRT Added a reply to Motocross Future?
12/8/2012 9:46pm My view of the future of the sport is quite a bit bleaker. Once you factor in the cost of bikes, cost of fuel, lack of riding areas in many places, insurance costs, dwindling prize money and the inherent danger of the sport, the future doesn't look great. A lot of parents these days are hesitant to get their kids...
powDIRT Added a reply to 1 AMA Supercross round in Europe
10/18/2012 9:50pm Teams bitch about the logistics of the Toronto round. I don't think they have much desire to go to Europe in the middle of a hectic season.

powDIRT Added a reply to How to kill what was a great board?
8/19/2012 7:52am I don't post here very often, but I visit about once a day. I enjoy all of the insightful moto commentary from people that know what they're talking about. The one thing that bothers me is the lack of activity on the "Race Shop" board. I'm always interested in little mechanical quirks and how to's for bikes. I just think...
powDIRT Added a reply to A.F.67..its her last year racing outdoors
5/18/2012 10:11pm Honestly, as much as I'd like to see her continue racing, the girl is an amazing person and has the ability to reach out to a lot of people. She can be much more than just a rider. She's a role model for a lot of young girls and a lot of deaf people. She has a lot to offer...
powDIRT Added a reply to who is the favourite in 250 nationals?
5/9/2012 12:58pm NoGo just seems to absolutely hate Barcia... He doesn't even bring up the fact that the kid battled through a busted wrist on his throttle hand to win the 2011 250ESX title, basically sacrificing his health for the Outdoors season. Add into the fact that Mike Larocco said he was racing with mono.
You can't go by the stats either...
powDIRT Added a reply to Our Sport needs a Riders Union!
5/7/2012 6:25pm A riders union would help kill the sport. The sport doesn't generate enough revenue for the hassle the promoters would have to deal with through collective bargaining and litigation. It would be a great way to scare off most viable investors in the series. Plus, (A) The quality of riding would tank because there are a ton of guys that...
powDIRT Added a reply to Barcia Bigs on the West?
3/25/2012 7:40am All I've been hearing is how Barcia is going to be in for a rude awakening in the 450 class. Look at the kid's demeanor and his confidence in himself. He doesn't give a damn whether he's racing triple digit guys, Ryan Villopoto, or Ricky Carmichael. Will there be times when he hits the dirt? Absolutely. But to think that...
powDIRT Started a new thread Shaving Seat
1/27/2012 4:53pm I have a 2000 CR250 and it's a little tall and would like to shave the seat. The problem, I hate the look of a shaved seat. I was wondering if there is a proper way to do it so it doesnt look much different.

powDIRT Started a new thread 250 Class Double Standard?
1/27/2012 12:50pm Wilson cleaning out Wharton. Now I personally feel that you do whatever you need to do to win. He's in a championship battle and needed to get by Wharton at all costs. I've said the same thing about Barcia's aggressive riding. I enjoy the aggressive riding and I think it's the main reason that the East has been so entertaining...

powDIRT Started a new thread My SX TV Proposal
1/20/2012 10:00pm Now I am not claiming to know all the In's and Out's of how the SX TV rights are worked out, but this is what I think a reasonable proposal should be. From what I hear, the length of the event is hard to put on in a TV schedule block. Similar to the Outdoors setup: SPEED, CBS, FELD, or...

12/6/2011 8:57pm I'm so bummed for Trey.... Maybe we'll see Barcia on a 450 in some early SXs?
powDIRT Added a reply to Will SX/MX become as mainstream as Nascar?
11/20/2011 6:38pm Never. We live in a nanny state now. MX will always be inherently life-threatening. NASCAR has gotten to the point where it is extremely safe. Parents are going to stop pushing their kids to ride motorcycles.
Also factor in cost, and the lack of places to freeride in many places. I think the sport does not have a bright future...
powDIRT Added a reply to Remember your first ride...
11/4/2011 3:57pm I started riding really late (17) because my parents didn't want me to get into riding, even though my dad raced a little back in the day. Then my dad wanted to get back in it and he bought a 2000 CR250 from his buddy.
I pressured him to let me ride it and he finally conceded. I told him...
powDIRT Added a reply to 2 stroke nationals.
10/27/2011 11:27am I think instead of swinging for the fences and trying to quickly put together a 12 round series, why not start small with a 4 or 6 round series and prove to potential sponsors and investors that one of these could survive. And then promote it to the bigger sponsors and riders once you've proven it can work.
I invest...

You could have your track and an "alternative source of income" also. Make sure you've got your Grade 10, though.
