That is a very reasonable way to do it for sure! The way I have it laid out in the post definitely makes it seem like a (help me now or don’t help me). It’s far from that. No one HAS to help and that is fine with me. If people would like to help they go on the top of my helmet and it shows their support of me to others that care. Either that be from the first round or if someone helps for the last round it will be added to all the way to the end...

I've been racing a series in Texas called TORCS for the third year now. The races are well organized and scheduled almost a year in advance. Makes it easy to plan for them. I can leave the house in the morning, drive to the race, unload, practice, race, and drive home in a reasonable time frame. No sitting around for 8 hours. And each race is roughly 70 minutes in duration, so ride time isn't a problem. I still ride MX almost every weekend and now get to race 10+ times per year with them planned out well in advance...

Just to clarify, my comment was a dig at Prado’s level of effort. I have no doubt that Chase (or any former champion) should have no problem putting the bike on the podium. Prado’s results reflect his level of effort, although I’m also confident that he underestimated the level of competition in AMA racing. I don’t believe we’ll ever see him contend for a SX championship no matter what bike they put him on. I could be wrong, but I also doubt that he’ll have anything for Jett in AMA motocross next year no matter what he’s riding.

In a perfect world the eps can last a longtime. But I've seen how some peoples sweat seems to be harsher than others. Along with using different stuff in their hair, to clean the helmet, not cleaning the helmet, and storage all can impact the EPS. When I was painting helmets ,I got some used helmets to paint as display helmets and I was surprised at how brittle some of the EPS was in some helmets, and how another helmet close in age ,same model , just a different previous owner looked and felt almost new. I think that the...

Even if Prado adapts to the production based KTM, he has to get through the SX season healthy to make the nationals. Seeing how many riders who have been racing SX for years have a hard time completing a SX season uninjured, I think we can all agree it is going to be difficult for Prado to do. I hope it doesn't lead to him bitching about the team and bike when he is on KTM. We can all see what lead to this season for him (thanks for the great read ML) injuries, new bike, new team, new to...

For sure strange the mechanic for a bike that had issues throughout the season is given the mechanic of the year award 🤷‍♂️

The Prado fatigue is real

Translation “I’m having trouble getting out of the personal deal I’ve done with Monster and I don’t think I can get away with leaving Kawi before SMX. This is a feeble attempt to try and smooth things over with the team so I can make it somewhat tenable for SMX all whilst taking no personal accountability”

Ouch...

Wasn't prado way faster then all 4 of them?

Just wait until you try an Enduro...

We installed several of the backward falling gates in the 70s and 80s and they all would fold forward so not sure what home built stuff you used there in kangaroo land. This one "didnt flop foward on its own" as you are saying, Jett ran into it

I agree. The EX is pushing it as far as a customer base. Road legal, which is good but again, you are at the mercy of the Stark charger cord. 1 hour from the house and you better be turning around. Enduro? The extra battery just gets you to the next check before you hour out plus you got to carry the extra weight with you. I see the EX as a niche bike inside a niche bike, in a niche market. Stark really needs the racing bodies to loosen up so they can breathe.

They are braindead hicks you can't reason with them. You can't even present factual information to them. Just jingle some keys in their face like a baby and move on lmao

Ian is spewing bullshit trying to protect his employer. Anyone with eyes and common sense could tell it was a mechanical problem that led to the crash. KTM is doing damage control because, once again, a bike malfunction launched their premier rider to the moon. Last time it was a broken throttle housing
