JoeyNovice Liked a forum topic Who Raced Eli Tomac the Most?

9/29/2026 1:52pm

I ran the numbers and 695 different riders matched up with Eli Tomac in SX mains, MX overalls, and SMX overalls over the course of his whole career. Roczen (275), Barcia (275), and Anderson (269) are the three riders with the most races against Tomac. Roczen tied Barcia for the most in Tomac's last ever appearance in Ridgedale last weekend. I built a sortable and searchable table of all 695 riders on my website along with a brief history of Roczen, Anderson, and Barcia's first and last meetings with Tomac. Here are the riders with the top ten most matchups...

for American moto/sx, Eli hangtown 2015 has to be in the Rushmore. Sorry Zach. Other ones are solid. I feel like James had better races when he was on Kawi but 2014 Toronto is iconic because he was doing all the different jump combos

All I know is that Feld is slowly making things worse. From the actual tracks(either Feld or AMA), to opening ceremonies, the new rules on media, and teams etc. A lot of things are happening and not for the better

9/14/2026 5:53pm

Personally, I'd rather we lose SMX, add the 12th national back to the schedule, and have the fun off season races back (Monster Cup & Red Bull Straight Rhythm) over this gimmicky "World Championship." Gives the guys some time off or time to get some clean-up surgeries before getting into SX testing for the next year. As for the money, spread it across SX and MX.

8/7/2026 11:16am

Not dirtbike specific, but I thought we would see more development into camless engines by now. Completely variable electronic valve actuation opens up some interesting possibilities, you could theoretically even ditch the throttle body. I probably lack an understanding as to why this isn’t pursued harder with all the advantages on paper, but it’s more fun to think about than...

Ha! Yes it's trivial. When I told Mike earlier today "You know that was a mistake to do that?" He said yes, and he was just trying to make his girl's happy. As you can see from the pic above, as of yesterday, this $11 net is still where it was dropped. Mike is not going to try and return it now that charges have been brought. I wouldn't touch it either. The woman doing this is a known troublemaker and is on the Hilliard town council. She once ran for mayor. Nevertheless, Mike knows he screwed up, and he...

"Moto media needs to be more like mainstream sports!!" RacerX reports a publicly available arrest report... "Screw RacerX, they shouldn't report this until all the facts are out!!" If they didn't report it, people would say it's a bro show and they are protecting one of their own. Reporting the facts and nothing else shouldn't be a problem. Wow.

Sounds like he had a kid with him and took something not worth a lot of money from a shed or something. To me, this screams that there is way more to this story, so I encourage everyone to hold off on judging Mike until more details are released.

Chase is really good in the booth. He is eloquent, demonstrates humility, knows his motocross history (you can tell he's a student of the sport) and had some great insights. I really enjoyed listening to him. Seems like a good dude.

Don't produce them by order. Make a forecast of what you think you're going to sell and have them ready to be shipped out to the riders when a person makes an order. Very, very simple stuff. Sure you will probably have some overstock, but that is obviously a natural business risk you have to manage and live with. To me this seems like you have tried to setup a business model that would minimize your own financial risk in eliminating a proper inventory, but that model results in other risks (way too long lead times combined with non existent...

"What people may not understand is every Hand Signed jersey has to be produced from scratch, shipped to the rider during their busy seasons with changing schedules and injuries, signed, at times hundreds, boxed back up, sent back to us, checked in, and shipped out." You didn't anticipate this before...?

Nope. Brayton said he just got the jerseys last week. 5 months after people paid for something promised in 8 weeks. Leib's AI response is a joke. Basically no ownership and typical of most of the industry as these guys were always handed it all. 8 week lead time is now 15 weeks and what he should be doing is refunding half or more of their money or offering a free kit or some massive swag pack etc. Instead it's the same "we are small" blah blah. Small is meaningless. You made a commitment and missed the mark. The worst...

First of all you should be over communicating the situation to paying customers. Next, you should be working 20 hours minimum per day to make it right and get caught up. Business ownership 101

" At the end of the day, nobody here is trying to avoid shipping orders or ignore customers" But yet there are people here waiting since February for an order and have been ignored for countless messages and dm's....so just because you weren't "trying" to, that's ok? Kind of unacceptable. Maybe if I don't pay my taxes this year I can just tell the government "I wasn't trying to not give you the money" and they should be ok with it?
