About Me
Plus 30 racer from Alabama. I love riding and working on mx bikes. I also enjoy surfing the various moto boards on the interweb.

I'm co-captain of a Christian outreach ministry in Alabama bringing the message to the motocross commmunity.

I'm also a founding board member for a moto safety organization called the Motocross Safety Council. We're trying to positively impact the sport of motocross in our state and region with safety minded changes.

There was a small dealer in Birmingham, AL that had one in stock for a long time back in the '86-'87 time frame. We used to go buy handlebars (seemed like I bent a pair of steel ones every week back then) there and probably premix. I drooled over it every trip in there. I think it was Dixie Cycle.

rallendude Added a reply to Too much split screen

1/26/2026 9:05am
When I was first married and bought my own TV I had a 36" screen. Now, some 30 years later, I've got a screen twice as big with ten times the resolution and can't see the races any better because they constantly want to show two screens plus the running order. In fact, it's worse now because my house is...

Hey Scottie, I know yours is a way different situation but some "older" folks I know locally have had major pain issues from degenerating spine issues. They've gotten spinal stimulators put in that are basically like a TENS device for their spines. The ones that have it say it was life changing. Just wanted to drop a note on that...

Good on you for trying but whichever member it was made a huge mistake in my opinion. You don't take advantage of a guy sticking his neck out for you and then leave him hanging like that. Hope it wasn't the dude across the pond that wanted so badly to get $3,500 worth of motor and labor back.

Hey Ricky, great to hear from you my friend. All good here in Texas and hope the same for you and your family in Bama. 55 yrs old here and still going strong. Mostly into vintage and post vintage stuff out here (which I'm actually the younger crowd in that group) but also mix it up in the modern world from time to time. Thanks for saying hello and take care buddy.

rallendude Added a reply to Is Pastrana overrated?

2/2/2022 5:43am
For those that say he hated the training and grind of MX you really need to pay close attention in the Whiskey Throttle episode. He never says that. He said he needed to keep it interesting and fun. Travis was never out of shape unless he was injured enough to not be able to train. The biggest thing I learned...

That was a little band-aid while we were figuring this out. It'll be back to all embeds next week now that we have that part solved. The problem was only desktop related. Mobile pretty much worked all the time. So it was probably working for around 75% of our users but not 25%.

Yep, I see it. I did have trouble before from my PC. On a slightly unrelated note, in the Social Scoop section is where I had most trouble seeing them before. Now, they show up but the right and left arrows are there and the tricked me into clicking on them. Turns out they were just screenshots.

1/31/2022 8:31am
Just an extra little point to ponder for an old fat guy..... It does seem odd to me that a rider would walk the track in their helmet when there doesn't seem to be a clear rush to get on the bike and go. But if I stop and think about it the other way around it starts to make...

rallendude Added a reply to What did you guys think of the broadcast for A2?

1/31/2022 7:32am
I enjoyed Daniel in the booth. He had a couple moments where he seemed to search for the right words but that will get better with time. Kristen seemed a bit slow and needed more volume on her mic, which made it seem worse. ZO needs to drink an energy drink before the next show. Good insight but a bit...

rallendude Added a reply to Photo Sequence of Anderson and Roczen's Sandbox Collision

1/31/2022 7:24am
Watching the race it looked to me like their lines just merged. That line Anderson took was staying mid track for during the 250 moto. It looked like they reworked it between races. But looking at the sequence shot I wonder if Anderson would have even stayed on the track if he hadn't pinballed off Roczen. That looks brutal.

rallendude Added a reply to Friese…alive

1/31/2022 7:19am
Absolutely nothing Jo could have done to avoid this. Friese basically pulled a squirrel or deer in the headlights move. He was just trying to get back on his bike and continue the race. Ran right in front of Shimoda. I'm glad to see he knew he wasn't right and didn't continue to go back to the bike after the...
