7/1/2020 3:30pm The majority of the USA will end up having contracted covid19 before we get too far along. It may slow down, but it WILL spread just like the common cold does. You cannot stop it. The good news is the majority of the people under 60-65 with healthy immune system won't have an issue with it. We NEED "herd immunity"...

Sadly, practically everything we read is written by somebody with an agenda. And obviously, it is much easier to start with the desired conclusion and make the date fit. This is one of the reasons the 7 races at SLC were so awesome - they were pretty much free of politics!

What a JOKE. Look at the death numbers....of course there’s a spike when you test more and more people. Jesus should we go test an entire college for STDs or something and then cancel school cus there’s a spike? What a joke of a world we live in

6/26/2020 3:28pm I raced a 1985 CR125 - skipped the '86. But BOY, when I got that 1987 CR125R - that was an incredible bike. Those forks and that motor....

My 86 CR125 was a magic bike and could do no wrong. That might have to be my next restore.

Again....that's not the issue here. I am so thankful that Feld and everyone involved pulled this off....I was one of the very vocal people over "aborted" championship talk. The racing from the last 3 weeks has been incredible. I'm only lamenting the sadness of the moment for lacking 'US".

6/20/2020 9:37am There will always be a few (3-4) riders that can obliterate the rest of the field. This does not say that the other riders are slow, it just shows how incredibly talented a few riders are. Hell, last place in any 450 main would obliterate me in my prime. Period.

6/12/2020 1:21pm It may be possible that the 87 RM250 was slower. I was racing an 88 CR250, my buddy let me ride his RM250....I gave it back after the first lap. It felt like it had a rag stuffed in the airbox.

6/12/2020 1:14pm This is great, we all keep "bouncing" back and forth... The simplest and most accurate explanation is a combo of several things already mentioned. 1. harder than normal acceleration results in higher speed at liftoff 2. rear of bike is compressed further than normal due to rider weight back, "smashing" it down 3. angle of attack off end of takeoff...

"How do people think you can pump a bicycle when it has no shocks and no motor, yet you can pick up speed without pedaling?" With the momentum generated by the rider's body movements in conjunction with the rollers on the pump track. How do you swing on a swing? Different concepts I'd say, but I'm loving the debate.

6/11/2020 8:31pm Also...you can do the same thing on perfectly flat ground. Go along at a steady speed. Accelerate hard, weight the back of the bike, then chop the throttle as you move up and forward. Done with correct timing your bike will actually leave the ground. You can prove it by doing it on unmarked ground. Gary Bailey showed us how...

6/11/2020 8:21pm Exactly. By sitting with hard throttle and increased traction which compresses the rear of the bike more,, you actually aim the front of the bike higher and this makes a steeper angle of attack off the face of the jump. You go higher and further.

And we're off! How can the shock pogo you up when it has damping? Why don't you bounce when you land from a jump? How does it spring you higher when it doesn't even extend until after you've left the ramp? You're changing your trajectory. Not literally bouncing.

My grandpa always told my dad, "if it don't hold together now, it won't hold together later." My dad passed it on to me. I take it easy for the first 5-10 minutes, then get on it!

I've never "broken in" a bike in my life and have never had any issues.
