I'm going to reserve judgement until I see more details. The "delinquency of a minor" part is what makes me turn my head a little. For all we know, he was walking around inside an under-construction building with one of his kids and got caught. Or, like mentioned above, he might have been reclaiming his own property. Who knows? The point is, he's innocent until proven guilty.

I don't have a good contact at WSX right now. The rider wasn't bothered by it and said it was all cleared up, and I have 19 million other things to work on. If it were a standing issue and I had a bunch of riders bringing it up, I'd do some digging. I get told weird rumors, stories, and odd things nearly all day. I try to follow up on as much as I can, but as I've also learned the past year or so...a 18 hour a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year schedule is...

Rick Burgett?

Leave Aldon Baker out of this………

The only reason Aden didn’t get paid, and any other riders is because they didn’t send it. It’s not that difficult to send an ACH payment. All you need is the Bank routing number, account number and recipient’s name and you click send. They didn’t send it.

I think you gave the strongest argument for 80/90s training techniques. Why would they need him if it didn’t matter, if he wasn’t making a difference. O’mara has championships in both MX and MTB and has incredible technique. You can go to Aldon for 200k and learn to ride a road bike on a starvation diet between motos, or get advice from a legend. You choose.

I understand Lewis Phillips' frustration with the comments. But I do not understand the reaction, perhaps it is cultural, him being British. Complaints about the performance you are giving are opportunities to improve your performance, they are not complaints against you personally, because obviously these people do not know you. Comments people give may be bullshit but looked at critically they may be a way to hone his craft if looked at insightfully or critically. Unless he feels there is no room for improvement, or that his very audience that listens to him is too ignorant to give input. This...

When the airing of the nationals was all fucked up, the reaction and comments of the "media" tells you all you need to know about the media integrity. Or when the kid claimed Deegan's bike at an amateur national. Or when Millsaps got fired. Or when "Let Broc bye". Or when Emig got fired. Or when RC and Diffey are shitty on a broadcast. It goes on. Many of these people in the "media" know, travel, have meals with, racers, team managers, major sponsors, and the like. For God's sake, Weege and Matthes work for DC. The DC never tells...

The 1st Motocross I ever attended. April 1971, Corvallis Montana. Took pictures with my mom's Kodak Instamatic. Edit: I will add, as soon as I got to this race, and we walked around the pits, I was hooked and I knew I wanted to race motocross eventually. But it took a few more years to get there.
