It has been mentioned numerous times on this site how it would be nice if more racers and their families were members so you can get true and accurate information about what goes on behind the scenes. I feel that I can honestly speak for the majority of the families and riders when I state that some of the comments made about us are hateful enough to chase us away.
San Diego was my son, Matt’s, first race back after an ankle injury. Obviously, it was not a good night for him after he crashed out of a qualifying position. I chose not to look at this particular site because I already knew that some people would make callous comments, and as a mother, it hurts. My husband did however look because he likes to hear some of the actual stats on the race. Gary told me just a few of the mean comments on not just my son, but also on other riders.
The individuals, who feel the need to try and incite hateful, prejudicial, and bigoted comments about where a racer was born and/or live, are proof of their own uneducated moral aptitude.
Riders and their families have dedicated their lives to this sport. The fact that so many spectators love to watch these riders compete and admire acquired skills that each rider has mastered in their own way is truly entertaining. Perhaps, those who stay at home and write negative lies about the riders should invest their time in a more productive way.

See you next week in Atlanta?
I'm guessing that riders parent might be a little more proud of a chid that at least tried to live their dreams instead of just being an asshat tossing out stupid comments on the internet.

Boy, that was kinda wild when MG blew the corner while in 5th!
That is from not being used to race speeds and super slippery conditions, of course. I think he did pretty well for his first race in three months.
I can't wait until next week!
Live broadcast, too.
Are you accusing someone of something?
I agree with you 100% People on these SX/MX boards can be evil. Their response to the Hate (negative talk) is that when someone decide to be famous, they are putting themselves out there to be ridiculed or hated on.
I say bullcrap because a lot of top motocrossers I bet just want to be the BEST first and not FAMOUS first.
Its sad how so many Grown men will nit pick every little thing those guys do, in order to look for a reason to hate our top riders of our sport. Its sad and I doubt it will never end.
Some say they say the things they do in order to give that particular riders fans a hard time, but they do not take into consideration that those riders Parents, Family, Spouses, Friends read that crap. Its sad.
Hang in there.
You just proved her point with your childish and irrelevant statement.
Not everyone wants to be an English Professor.
I know its hard but try not to pay any attention to any of the clowns that have negative things to say because every one of them couldn't hold a candle to your son on his worst day.

Towelie................you sir are a complete idiot.....................maybe when you brain develops past the 7th grade you will understand. Until then you need to STFU
Until now, I never thought of Matt as a "redneck gorilla".
Just remember Cyndi-most of us on this board and moto fans that are not on this board respect the riders and what they do so I wouldn't pay much attention to a few bad comments about your son. However, it is cool to see you defend him and I understand why. The moto world is a tight nit group and it becomes very obvious on this board how close us fans get to industry people and there families.
You have to realize that there are some individuals on any message board that will say something stupid , mainly to get a "spark" out of other people. Another words....."to cause trouble" This board is full of those type of people , but there are also a ton of people on here that love and support this sport and all it's riders.
I'm sorry you had to hear about some of the negative things being said towards Matt. Most of all the "True fans" of this sport , don't speak that way towards the riders and so forth. They may criticize some of them some times , but the real fans don't totally slam other riders. I've always believed that kicking a guy when he's down ( or on his way back up ) is just wrong.
Good luck to Matt the rest of the season! Can't wait to see him healthy for a full outdoor series!!
As far as the guys posting negative comments.......they do it all the time about every rider. Just ignore them. If you stick around long enough , you can see which ones are the ones nobody listens to.
anyways.... if this is actually Matt's mom (using a "real" name doesn't count as proof) i would hope she'd make better use out of her time than cruising internet boards looking for posts that will only upset her.... stay on facebook if you want to keep a sane mind.... look at the boards if you wish to torture yourself....
Who are you anyways????? I live in Colorado...do you actually ride? Every post I have ever seen you make is negative and sucks!
