.......... about the track? A guy I know went riding with a group of us yesterday, and he is known to be a negative nanny, so I should have known, but all he did was complain about the track. Its too sandy here, too hard there, too many rocks there, too wet there, too dry there, that jump is too hard to do, etc, etc. He then went on to tell one of the guys in the group that his CR500AF was a peice of shit and that he wasted his money. Geeezus, STFU dude! What a downer! This is MOTOCROSS, not all tracks are the same, and its supposed to be hard! I go to the track to escape stress, not bring it with me. Now I know its partly my fault for letting it get to me, but it put me in a funk the rest of our time out there. Constant negativity is a cancer I tell ya!! Just venting........................

Were you lapping him? Maybe he was just trying to excuse his performance.

I have had that happen as well. Me and and old friend and a guy I just met at work, went to Washougal a few years back,. The guy I just met at work , had never been there before, not even to watch the Nationals, he had also just bout a brand new CR250. The guy bitched all day about the track and about his new bike, didn't bother me though. I just made my own day and had a lot of fun waxing his ass, mainly because before we went he talked shit constantly at work about my bike and how he was going to smoke my ass.

I don't ride with people like that. I don't even let my girlfriend go out to the tack with me anymore because she always whined about this and that. Too dusty--Too muddy--Too loud--Boring--etc..etc.. The final straw with her was her bitching about me getting hurt once. As if having to go to the hospital wasn't bad enough I had to hear a speech on the way there about me getting too old and having to many responsibilities to be riding. She has not been invited since.

Yeah dude drop that guy from your regular riding buddies, Negativity is just a downwards spiral... Positivity is an upwards spiral- replace him with a super positive person if possible- life will be grand

For sure. I mean, we all have our bad days, but I try to stay positive, which didnt used to always be the case, but one thing I've learned is that life is much more enjoyable around positive people.

Normally when I have a bad day at the track, I like to make fun of it and joke about it.

How boring would life be if everything went perfect and and nothing was a surprise ?

MX is all about adapting to the situation isn't it ?

When anyone in our group ever starts complaining, we ask them in front of everyone if they want us to sweep the sand out of their mangina's and they usually shut up. I'm pretty lucky, all the guys I ride with are awesome and we ride with a lot of kids so that makes it twice the fun, because they are always positive and saying funny shit.

I just ride with my youngest son anymore. Got tired of riding with people that want to be ass hats or just want to go home after an hour and a half of riding. This one guy I rode with many times would want to go home after 45 minutes. I would still ride with him but would never go with him . So when he started crying and wanted to go home , I'd say, see ya. The final straw for him was , he called me and wanted to go riding. The following morning he calls me and says he decided to go play golf. I said not a problem and went riding by myself. It's been 4 years since that morning and I haven't rode with him since.

"Have you ever went riding with someone and all they do is complain...................."


Many times. My uncle (not by blood thank God) was always like that when he took us riding. Especially on race days. All he did was go on about how the announcers suck, the lighting was terrible, the race schedule, when they were grooming/building the track he'd predict all this nonsense crap about what they were gonna build and how they messed up the track and they watered it too much or its too choppy. I just wanted to back hand him across the face and tell him "Well that's motocross, we came here to have a good time not to listen to your bullshit." Boy did I feel for my cousin. Not that he was a total douche, he was just really judgmental about everything, nice fellow though. Ironically, he didn't ride.Silly

The only thing I ever complain about when I ride is how weak my endurance is; hope to change that next year though.

Croom has not had a 300 foot high hill in 25 years thanks to the querds, I mean quads. Every hill there has 10-15 foot high erosion walls bordering the climbs, which are like a two lane freeway.

The miles of endless sand whoops are where the complainers start looking furiously for a side trail back to the truck.

If anyone in my group starts whining I just find a good spot to roost them really good. Then when they whine about that I tell them this is motocross not golf quit whining or go home. They usually don't come back or if they do they have a better attitude.

I rode Croom in 1994 when I was with a friend who was preparing for the Gatorback National that year. Those sand whoops were gnarly for sure. I was a pretty poor rider then but I didnt complain about the track, just noticed my weaknesses. Many of them.

I hate it when people complain how expensive everything about MX is, yet they buy a new bike every year and always wear the newest gear. Dude, this may not be cheap, but give me another example of motorsport that you can be competitive with so little investment!
