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.

rallendude Added a reply to Daytona thoughts....

Watching on TV I was sure Webb was going to catch Roczen, put him between himself and Tomac and make it harder for Tomac to catch him. When Tomac got close, Webb changed all the line he had that were working for him and subsequently couldn't keep up with Tomac. Maybe that was the way it was supposed to be...

Two totally separate and unrelated issues to the authorities. One is an issue the local police need to handle (wheelie boyz), and they won't for fear of bad press. The other is a state environmental issue. This takes FAR more precedence and needs immediate attention since it is an attack on the planet and it's well being. I'd like to...

rallendude Added a reply to Most injury-free riders in history?

3/4/2020 8:16am
Jeremy got his heel cut badly at a restaurant or something like that on broken glass. He was definitely on the lower percentage of injuries though. Windham broke his femur at Atlanta one year in practice and missed a lot of racing. I don't remember Emig missing a lot due to injury after he moved to 250s. I'd bet quite...

We used to have a local kid here that was pretty fast but he had a bad habit of taking people out as he passed....like clockwork. Mostly, this came out in the local arenacross racing. I had a bike shop and was trying to help the kid out. He'd cleaned his act up and had been racing clean. One day...

rallendude Added a reply to Who invented skimming through the whoops?

3/3/2020 8:45am
That's who I've generally seen credited with starting the trend with skimming whoops. He'd developed a technique of dragging the rear brake through them is what I remember hearing. There's probably plenty of footage to track of him racing in the early '90s to see who all was doing it around him. The whoops also started getting significantly bigger through...

rallendude Added a reply to Roczen..........Yellow Flag

3/3/2020 8:41am
Local rules aren't the same as AMA Pro. For an AMA amateur event The following are the yellow flag rules: YELLOW: Caution. When a yellow flag is displayed, competitors must ride cautiously until they have passed the incident that caused the flag. When displayed there is no passing or gaining an advantage and jumps must be rolled between the flag...

rallendude Added a reply to $7000 into a $2500 bike or $2500 into a $7000 bike?

3/3/2020 8:15am
Either way you end up with a $9,500 bike. Go buy a new one and your resale will be better. If not new, the resale on a $7,000 plus $2,500 bike should be more than the opposite. You're choice. If you've got $9,500 to spend on a bike you can pretty much get whatever you want.

Good ride for Davalos. Watching his post race interview I can see why he's not doing better. The guy doesn't seem to have any confidence in himself. He's got tons and tons of talent but appears to be convinced he's a guy that can just break the top ten. I'm not knocking this attitude. It has to be so hard...

Where was everybody though? The dome was half empty. Had a friend that got told at the box office they didn’t have any “pairs” of tickets below the third level. Im really puzzled why the dome was so empty when tickets were so difficult to purchase.
