Well, a lot of people don't want to hear this, but the solution to parents who don't want to parent is probably safe, judgement free, fiscally free, abortions.

The entire world has solved this problem, except the USA. It's not complicated. It's just where you place your freedom. Do you want the freedom for your kids to not live in fear, or the freedom to easily buy and carry guns? Pick one.

Best bike I’ve ever owned.

Ran Shift gear on and off for 20 years. Just switched the AStars, really happy with it overall. Sad to see the Shift brand dying off.

From a couple days ago in NJ. Winter sucks here, but Spring is all time with wet sand. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Max Bertolero (@max_bertolero)

Find a sand pit, that’s what we do on the east coast. I used to hate the rain living in northern California, now I am always hoping for rain so the sand tracks are wet.

Big range. Won't be surprised if he wins a lot, won't be surprised if he's hovering around 3-5.

Cooper "I am paid to race" Webb...

I thought he rode last week and it did not go well?

Trust but verify

Swap out air filter for twin air powerflow kit. Check oil and coolant levels. Put on a good chain. Check the spokes. Set the sag.

I quit racing and just rode for fun when I was 20, went to college. Rode on and off during my PhD. It was pretty time consuming and I didn’t have much money to ride. Now that I have a good job I can use PTO and go ride during the week, weekends are for ... more »

Yeah, odd that so many PA tracks don’t have regular practice days
