Why does he deserve help over all of the other current pros who can't afford a ride? I am sorry for my opinion, but I am so tired of all of this Go Fund Me crap. Nobody ever donated money to me for no reason.

Haha. "Britney's" first post was in a 5 year old thread. . .

Why does Vital allow people with fewer than 15 posts to start a thread. . .

The reality is that if you cant afford to repair your bike you shouldn't be trying to race competitively.

Ride for fun and focus on getting a good education because racing mx requires a good strong flow of cash to keep at it. The sad part is only a very small percent of riders make a living from racing...and even fewer will retire off earnings from racing. The rest will have to go find work after they are no longer competitive.

The young lad doesn't even have a proper bike stand....he's using autorims????

For f**ks sake, get a f**k**g job Kevin. So sick of these low tier no bodies beggin for money. That damn Tucker Saye daily posts some shit about needing free grips, free parts, money to go race yet he posts pics of eating Chipotle or some other crap every day. If you can afford Chipotle everyday, you can take your nickel & dime ass to the bike shop & buy some grips. I want a hundred thousand dollar boat, but I have to settle for the one I have. Fuck I hate assholes like this, go stand on a corner & beg for money!

Something is not right. Under your name it says Canada, but in the link it says Sawyerville. Al. I am calling shenanigans.

My thoughts exactly! I get tired of people begging for help to ride/race dirtbike's. This is a luxury sport, and if you can't afford it find something else cheaper to do.

I've said it before but there really needs to be a separate area for solicitations of donations. It seems like it's all too frequent that there are threads asking for money.

Lame! Get out there and cut lawns, scrap metal, or do whatever you got to do to find a way to make money if your desire is that strong to keep going in this sport. What bullshit it is to post a thread asking for money. Motocross is a hobbie and an expensive one at that, so either work hard or pack it up. I work 60 hrs a week and will live off peanut butter and jelly if I have to just to have the extra cash to race and ride. I suggest you do the same instead of asking for a handout

Its because through Facebook Sawyerville Quebec is so tiny it doesn't recognize it so I put Sawyerville al. And you guys don't need to be so mean. If you don't want to help then don't help. Nothing nice to say then don't say it at all. He's just a kid.

He's just a kid that should learn the value of working for what you want without looking for someone to hand it to you. I work hard for my money, as do many people here. Explain why we should hand over what we've worked for? Being a kid doesn't give an excuse to not work for what you want.

And I wasn't kidding about explaining why we should hand over what we've worked for. It wasn't rhetorical. What makes this cause better than any of the other causes that seek money to function on a regular basis? Medical research, animal shelters, military assistance groups, etc? You've done nothing to paint a picture of why anyone should donate other than to say he's "just a kid."

His real priority should be an education and work ethic. That will serve him far better in life than hoping for handouts to "turn pro." There is a life left after motorcycles that still needs to be taken care of. The loyalty in racing stops as soon as you stop winning for most people.
