GrapeApe Liked a reply to forum topic SX in Cleveland next year ???
8/28/2025 10:17am I've heard the stadiums that are hosting World Cup matches in '26, like Boston and New Jersey, are having to do some serious renovations to raise the field surface to accommodate a bigger field/bench area. The renovations have to be ready for FIFA inspections weeks before the matches, so this may be why these stadiums aren't hosting races. We'll see what happens with Arlington, Houston, Philly and Seattle which are also World Cup host sites.

8/28/2025 10:17am I thought I had heard the World Cup would have an effect on the schedule since they will be at MetLife (NJ), Gillette (MA), and Lincoln (PA). Curious to see if any of those will be on the schedule even though WC doesn't start until June.

6/10/2025 10:24am AMA Head Referee at a LL Qualifier: "I've never heard of Ricky Carmichael" I had no response to that statement.

5/15/2025 9:58am I just watched the clip of RV. He is upset that his kid sat down on a jump. He basically says he is not racing anymore if he sits down over jumps. Look, if RV is always swearing, the kid does not see it how someone's kid would from a father who never swears. To me, it seemed like a dad who was very concerned about his kid's well being. I have a 4 year and a 1 year old boy, the older one rides. I am a "gentle parent". I would probably react very similarly to RV if my...

5/14/2025 8:13am This. I grew up racing in the early 2000s and after taking a break and coming back, I realize just how normal physical abuse seemed back then. I’m not talking dad being mad. I’m talking smacking their kid in the face for not hitting a triple on a greasy track.

5/14/2025 8:13am My dad was hard on me when I wasn't trying. As a kid I didn't understand but once I became an adult and realized the sacrifices that were made for me to be able to line up each week, sometimes twice a weekend many hours from home, i understood. The whole family would ride 4 deep in a single cab pickup to the races and sweat their asses off all day at a dusty race track and then drive home in time to get 4 hours of sleep before heading to work on a Monday. We raced like this for...

For whatever its worth, I grew up chasing the dream alongside the Villopoto's, Alessi's etc. & I want to be really clear...Despite Ryans harsh demeanor on video, he is many shades less aggressive than how he was brought up. My Dad & I were actually just talking about this exact topic the other night & how deep into moto we were that what would be considered abuse other places was damn near normalized at the track to the point that yelling/screaming didn't even get people to turn their heads. I have congratulated a dad on their 11-year-old child's 2nd place...

So I actually just went and watched the segment that was initially mentioned and I do not see anything wrong with what RV said. While he may have used curse words, I think that is just who he is. Similar to what I said above, the parts that he was hard on his kids about were things that the kid...
This is something that I have been pondering as my son is starting to get to the age where he wants to ride and I imagine that he will want to race at some point just because we are around the sport so much. I am somewhat in the industry myself, my wife and I both rode/raced so I feel...
TheRookie Started a new thread Ironman MXoN Camping Pass - Daytona Campground
4/8/2025 7:39am I can no longer make it to MXoN this year so I am looking to get rid of my camping pass. This is for the "Daytona Campground" which is pretty close to the track and is considered a Family camping area. I paid $600 for it, looking to get $600 for it. Just wanting to get my money back for...

3/14/2025 4:48am Was eating at a local taco spot and TP walked in and sat down waiting to pick up food. My wife and I bought him and his buddy a drink, he turned around and we just waved said hi and thought that would be the end of it. He bought a round of shots then came over and sat with...

TheRookie Added a reply to Prime Lenses for Motocross Photography?
11/7/2024 4:36am If you're looking for one, do almost everything lens, I would go with a nice 70-200. You will use 100% of the focal length. Keep an eye on Facebook Marketplace and you can find a used one for a reasonable price. I would pick one and then save your pennies for a larger prime in the future.

7/19/2024 4:51am So the tickets we are speaking of. Just to help anyone reading this follow my train of thought, I assume that the number of tickets given to MX Sports will reduce the total number of tickets that are sold for spectators? Given that assumption, is GH, or any other track for that matter, selling out completely to capacity? I can...

7/19/2024 4:07am Honestly Pala is like settling for a moderately less hot chick with no red flags or baggage after you spent years dating a 10/10 with huge fake tits but is a giant pain in the ass (glen helen). A buddy of mine once gave me the following advice: “No matter how hot she is, someone somewhere is sick of her shit.”
