Duuuude that was a solid effort remembering the jersey and also the thread, respect 😂

Someone get James Cameron a new jersey

SG-10 longtime user and have new SG-12 waiting for old 10's to die (ain't happening anytime soon). Gaerne size 44.5, bigger rider, used to be A/B hare scramble/enduro rider, trail ride only, average foot width, left foot a little wider. There was a small amount of break in on my 10's and my left foot felt a little narrowness on my little toe with Moose Racing riding socks. Switched to "Pro Compression" knee high compression socks (I got old) that are much thinner material and narrow feeling went away. I have learned I really like the ultra thin compression sock...

No point racing MX for him now other than making bonus money. For a guy like that, the title is the only goal and why the manufactures only pay a championship bonus. For factory riders, getting 2nd (or worse. I know, been 2nd a couple times) or getting 6th, has the same value/reward. It's why historically you saw champions, past champions or potential champions just not bother come back from an injury. RC took 04 SX off and went on to go 24-0 outdoors. I'm sure he could've came back for some SX but decided not to. He's not the...

I have a theory that there was a gentleman's agreement between him and HRC to let him walk early. He is definitely shaking that orange bike down as we speak.

Ah yes...the boldest of BNG.

uhhh... if it's a joke & busting balls between friends am not sure the Ricky Carmichael comedy tour is ready yet. Wow Daniel Blair is good at improv. Ugghhh now to wait a few years to hear about what really went on when Blair's kid has his own podcast interviewing Weege's kid, episode 6079 where Tomac's kid just wrapped his first WSMX title...

It looked like kidding around to me that maybe got a bit tense. It would be extremely unprofessional of RC to do that if he meant it. And here's a reminder that Blair was ridiculously good on a dirt bike:

If I were Daniel, and I went back and saw how much of a dick he was being, I’d keep it in the video.

I guess no one else has noticed over the years that RC is absolutely terrible at shit talking? He takes it too far. He's also super defensive when people shit talk him. None of this is surprising to me. Edit: For clarity... I also think it has nothing to do with Blair's decision.

David Bailey is DB first of all. I remember watching that vid and it thinking nothing of it cause Ricky can come off as kind of a cornball when joking around. We’ve see how he is when he views people as competition before though. IE: Ron Ron at hang town, ect… I remember Roncada saying he flipped out when he didn’t win a moto. I feel bad for him trying to fit into the broadcast gig. He just needs to be himself. Like pre 2001 Ricky. His personality is more like Omara but he tries to act like he’s Donald...

I'm not a degreed engineer or an English major, but here is a 2006 YZ125 rear hub for reference. In my opinion, I'd be comfortable turning this one down, but NOT the other hub previously posted. I'm assuming when the other guys pictured "casting ribs" this is what they envisioned...those other webs look mighty structural to me

There not structural. Just casting left over. Confirmed this year's ago with Hewitt when running team green bikes. Does it add stiffness maybe but its not designed in.

That was not just good old ball bustin' by RC. Wow.

I thought the line was crossed when he called DB the "fans favorite Toy" Keep in mind, this is all at the same time DB was trying to film his breakdown. Rc should have never interrupted in the first place.

Daniel is a good guy. Only have to look at what RC would say to him in the booth. Not once or twice. Every time they both broadcast. If you were the greatest of all time. What’s the point. Not all hero’s are humble. DB would be great in the booth long term. Especially with James or Weege.

It’s less about being “too sensitive” and more about how we’ve all had real-world experience busting balls with friends, and that’s just not how it’s done. He came across like a dick. Another tell being that Daniel was flustered and didn’t even know what to say to the camera after RC ripped on him in front of all the people he was leading around.
