All

I have no idea who this Hopper guy is and I’ve been a big fan of this sport for the last 30 years. Anywho, I listened to a little bit of that podcast last night. He seems like a pretty big whiner and and blames everyone but himself for the way he acts.

I tried listening to the pod to see if he could give any explanation of his views. Johnny can’t even put together a complete sentence let alone flesh out any of the crazy shit he talks about. it was unbearable to listen to. Jase would ask him a question and he would go off on some crazy tangent that did not answer the question or have anything to do with it. It was literal word vomit. Of all the interviews with Jase I’ve heard this one sounded particularly painful for him, at least the 25 minutes I made it through.

There are some who are taking a break from posting.

Thank you for all you support. Im feeling like on the mend but really for fear for my wire. She is in a bad place with Covid.

We’re all F’d up in the head. Isn’t that why we ride dirt bikes? 😉

Do you personally know him? Do you know his mom, his dad, or his grandparents? Were you at the track when they were racing out of a tiny camper? Were you at the therapy sessions when he was rehabbing from injuries? Or do you just know him from social media and interviews? I dont know him personally, but to me it looks like he has had a lot of injuries and is just trying to figure out how to stay healthy for a season. Its tough coming back, but as soon as he taste that podium again I bet it...

Vital two weeks ago: "YZ125 is still ok... but needs engine updates, new ergos, and brakes. Then it will be sweet." Vital today: "YZ125 only got engine updates, new ergos, and brakes? Lame."

Wait you’re telling me he’s actually getting off 85’s now, and be on the big bike full time?

The red pig that won at The Wick? .. asking for a friend

At least wrist, if not elbow I'm sure.....

Like balls deep?

So i assume you kept your honor and you gave the guy his money back for the stolen kx500 you sold him?

A little update to this. Me and my boy JB will come down to Sac over July 4th and get Mayson and his bike. He is going to spend July with us in Portland. We have quite the schedule planned: July 9-11, OTMX Nationals at Washougal. The boys will get 5 motos over 2 days in the support classes. Thursday 15th - PIR Thursday Night Motocross July 17-18 PacWest round 7 at Albany MX Thursday 22 - Pro Night at PIR - this one is a BLAST! July 24th - Washougal Nationals!!! I told him he better start getting in...

Absolutely. The fact Mayson took the time to come on here and say thank you is tremendous. That's character. One day he'll have the opportunity to do something for someone else, and he'll remember why. Pay it forward. That's all we can do for the next generation. Lead by example; this thread and all who helped are the epitome of that.

Hello this is Mayson Watkins the kid who received all of the kind donations from everyone. I just wanted to hop on here and say how much I appreciate everything I got and how much I appreciate all of you. This is the kindest gesture anyone has ever done for me and I love our moto community! Thanks to Mike and everyone who donated and interacted with this thread I now have two sets of gear, custom gloves, custom parts for my bike, well working parts that were probably needed on my bike, oils, cleaners, sweet aesthetics, and $2200 dollars...

Looks like the track conditions were nice. Pics after his ride today.

Just received some updates from Mayson's ride today (perfect conditions/weather here in NorCal) Sprockets / Gearing - What we took off was a 54, the new sprocket 56 gets it back to stock gearing. Mayson; "bike was great, could really feel the difference with that sprocket." Levers, Brakes Mayson: "I didn't need to adjust anything and brakes were super nice." Hour Meter (fixed it) Mayson: "I think it went up an hour or two, but I didn't check it." Looking forward to freshening up some more stuff on his bike in the near future.

Hey Hammer Pegs are rolling. Man I need to really see if I can find some pics in the archives of you and JB. I know for sure I have some of you both at the Oatfield and maybe DT1
