Sorry but these characters aren't doing us any favors. A big double thumbs down to them!!!!!!

Loctite and torque striping.

He's talking about the thing about HD and El Hombre and the black list and stuff

You do know all Japanese make high performance outboards that last 1000s of hours right? Yes a MX bike is ultra-high performance but a screaming outboard at 5000 rpm in a very abusive salt water environment isn’t an easy life. this whole dump a $10K bike before 50-100 hrs is odd to me or could it just be a product of adding an $100 to the monthly payment and get a new one rather than paying for maint? This is prob what will kill off future buyers.

No TV coverage combined with very little media coverage for the sport (notice there is no Vitaloffroad.com or GNCC Action magazine) = very little ROI for Monster. I'm big fan of all forms of motorcycle racing, and I gotta admit, I wasn't aware of Monster's sponsorship of GNCC.

I used to drink a can a day in the morning (I do not like coffee). I preferred sugar free Redbull, but would drink Rockstar because they were more convenient by the case where I would buy them. I did this for probably 5 years and I began to have prostate problems which at the time, we had no idea what was causing it. I know there is only a handful of guys here that have ever had prostatis or know what prostate pain feels like (and the bathroom frequency), but it radiates to other parts of your body like...

So pro sponsorship is difficult to attain at the highest levels because of disc brakes and subsequent trail impact? Just trying to draw a direct line here. I would counter point that "outsiders" that are controlling budgets have looked at past engagement numbers and decided it wasn't a worthwhile spend. That's been an ongoing challenge that is being worked on daily from what I see. Decision makers want eyeballs, TAM, and growth metrics. I don't think many corporate marketing managers are factoring in trail impact to their SX/MX/SMX decisions. Having said that, doing as much as possible to keep riding...

It was hyperbole. How about this, A LOT of people drink them.

I have heard Phil Nicholetti state multiple times that when he raced for JGR's MX team, JGR would offer their NASCAR sponsor partners free signage on the MX/SX team and most sponsors refused. Many, many people associate dirt bikes and riding with back flippers, heinous injuries, negative environmental impacts, and intrusive noise. There can be no denying that. As a sport we have had literally decades to address these issues and have done virtually nothing, even going backwards in some respects. How many moms want junior to ride after watching countless riders not finish a season racing or splattering themselves...

“Stubbing my toe on the coffee table is bad” “IMO, cutting off your toe is way worse” Ps. Nothing is “bad”. Actions do have consequences though.

Nicotine is actually good for cognitive health, it's the smoking that's bad for you.

Literally everyone? No. I don't, the 8 people I was hanging with for the last 2 days don't, none of my friends or family do. With the exception of my son, my circle of friends and near family is about 30 people. Literally and everyone are way overused.

I wonder why there aren't more outdoor or camping sponsors in moto or off-road

Ever work 12Am to 8am shift, and have 2 kids playing after school sports and don’t like coffee? That’s who.

lol I feel like most the people that don’t drink monster also don’t drink Mountain Dew or eat shitty food. Rarely, (can’t recall a time tbh) do I meet someone with a healthy active nutrition program that includes monster

Popular with blue collar guys for sure. I haven't had one in my life. But if you go to a gas station early in the morning guys are buying 4-6 of them at once

They tried that a few years ago.

Yeah, I know Feldkamp is not the easiest guy to deal with (euphemism) and Coombs and him hate each other, but not having an outdoor (or a USGP) at Glen Helen is a shame and a total waste...
