This incident is a classic example of the crucible supercross is. Jett is an 18yr old involved in arguably the most difficult sport in the world, half a planet away from home, with a half assed education who probably has been home schooled for years, performing before tens of thousands of fans live in billion dollar stadiums, with perhaps millions...

Not only should the 500 class count, but TransAma races as well. One could also argue at one time Golden State and Florida Winter series races had near National level importance and competitiveness at one time as well. For all the talk of riders racing too much today, in the past they raced quite a little bit as well in...

Typically sell my bikes after 500 hours or 3 years whichever comes first. We ride off road, not a big deal to get 20 hours a week.

It doesn't seem to be a willingness to bang bars, but more a measuring of risk/reward anymore for Tomac/Roczen and others in the sport. When a win seems possible they will go for it, but unnecessary risks will not be taken anymore by them. They have their employers/sponsors in kind of a bind. Honda/Kawasaki want to hire winners I am...

Having been in the lawn care and landscaping business for over 40 years, and being a third generation landscaper, I had to reply. We have stopped using most ornamental type pesticides/herbicides for probably five years or more. It's simple, we are killing our pollinators with these practices. The old methods of broadcasting herbicides/insecticides on acres and acres of property are...

We own a landscaping business and buy/use a lot of trucks. While Toyota doesn't make heavy trucks, I have always drove them as my personal vehicles, the reliability is spot on and the resale is like owning a free truck. My wife on the other hand has owned several Ridgelines, while I do not consider them technically a truck, they...

Not a dirt bike, I actually have liked all of those I have owned, but riding my KTM 1190 adventurer made walking a pleasure. Electronics always on the futz, gas gauge basically guessed volume, seat got so hot you could fry an egg on it. When I finally got rid of it, the resale was akin to selling a used...

ProTune in Ohio, nothing else.

He wasn't at his most impressive this past season, Anstie got a few top fives on the Suzuki, Savatgy maybe a seventh or eighth? Honestly more curious about what is happening to the guy he replaced at Rocky Mountain, the one who has won 450 supercrosses and nationals.

I have. Due to bad shoulders, wrists, etc., I have tried a number of solutions. Flexx Bars, Twisted Engineering, Mako360, PHDS bar mounts, with dampers of various kinds. Currently on my three bikes I have 1)Flexx bars, PHDS mounts, Fastway stabilizer 2)Twisted engineering bars, Mako360 mounts 3)Twisted engineering bars, PHDS bar mounts, Scott stabilizer. I favor the twisted engineering bars...

Perhaps they are not doing anything to make it more dangerous, but the OP wanted to know what could be done to make things LESS dangerous. And with 1.4 million hits on YouTube to see just the moment of Roczen's Anaheim accident as evidence, I don't know how interested promoters are of making it less dangerous. As far as me...

The purse was an example of how little regard there is for the riders in the sport, not the safety aspect. I believe I have given some pretty good examples already of how and why the promoters deal in the danger of the sport and exploit it. Do you really feel SX/MX promoters do not exploit the dangers of the...

Perhaps you have a point, showing his crash over and over may stress how safety should be paramount. Or it could cause parents to think they would never let their own kids have a motorcycle as well, or enforce the whole "daredevil" stereotype, among other negatives. It seems to me exploitive, rather than a forewarning. As I said you may...

Just checked Roczen's wreck at Anaheim has 1.4 million YouTube views, Doug Henry's Budds Creek has half a million. Do the promoters trade on the danger of the sport? I really don't think I can be convinced they don't. The purse is a good example of how much they care for the riders as well. I never even thought of...

My original argument was not that no other sport shows bad impacts, it was that mx/sx is much more pronounced in it than other sports, I genuinely can't think of another sport it is more pronounced . Not trying to troll, I've yet to be convinced that the promoters do not promote the dangerousness of the sport, I see it...

Exactly

"Not sure how many times I saw Vernon Davis getting ruined" is not enjoying it? Who forced you to watch "how many times"? So now you state our sport's promoters want big hit highlight reels to ape other successful sports, but to do it safely? What exactly is your point, is that it? Are you stating they didn't show Roczen's...
