Someone is passing up the deal of a lifetime. Two very accomplished and determined racers are still without rides for 2009. Although they are two separate and distinct individuals, they are able to compete in the same class and on the same team without conflict. Either one, or both would be an asset to any team.
I believe their records speak for themselves. Both have had top 10 finishes in both MX and SX this year. They are both skilled in all areas of dirt bike racing (i.e. motocross, supercross, arenacross). Given the right equipment and the opportunity they both have podium potential.
PM me for more information.

But sadly that ain't the case and it ain't gonna be in '09 either.
The Blose Brothers are just two of many who are gonna be riding on Visa or Mastercard
Bring back heat races and kill timed qualy. Have the heat races pay money to the winners and placers. Drop the entry fees and mechanics pass fee's, parking fee's and let the entrants eat the catered food that the AMA officials eat.
You people running these events know that the Yankees and the Red Sox SHARE THEIR REVENUES with the rest of the leauge?

Were you out at ACP? Racing tomorrow?

Did another rider get screwed in?
It's a gamble for the sponsors on who to sponsor in the 2nd ten or 15?
A team manager should never give a negotiated contract to a rider to sign or make promises they never intend to keep. Then pull the offer, after a rider has already signed it, and hire other guys.
I am not knocking the guys that took the rides. I just think the way this team handled the whole thing was very unprofessional. If they were looking at other riders, they should have never even gotten to the contract stage.

it's a sad state of affairs really, Very few on both sides keep their agreements.
Plus we have this weird thing going on that people are buying rides instead of earning them, unfreaking believable really.
So now Teams have a new option, get paid to support a rider or pay a rider. Money wins out most of the time.
500guy boo hoo welcome to professional racing. Adapt or disappear.
Hey mxdancer are you a professional in this business?
So now professional racing = nobody keeps their word ?

When you sign contracts you're supposed to be a grown up or have one look it over for you. You have to take responsibility for the deals you sign. How much due diligence was done to make sure it was a deal that was going to be kept? Any at all?
Virtually every form of Motorsports has "buy your ride" participants. It is a fact of racing life.
Finally, mxdancer speaking out against a sponsor is not a good idea in a public forum. It may have gone down exactly as you described it but it won't matter if you get a bad rep. There is a time and a place and this isn't it.
Second...As long as Michael was given a bike that could get him into the first turn in a decent place he was able to consistently make every main event and finished consistenly in the top 20. He even put their bike in the top 10. (Unheard of for this team.) He brought more sponsors to their program. He believed they would reward him with a better deal for 09. He did his job....but, they didn't live up to their part of the agreement.
Third... I did not mention any sponsor by name. So you are either guessing or fishing. Not sure which. But, it don't matter. Teams that are doing this to young riders should be exposed. It's not the first time a Blose has fought for what's right and it probably won't be the last.
Fourth....I made this thread to make aware to the powers-that-be (whoever they are) that both boys needed a ride for 09. Someone else insisted on knowing all the details.

There are rumors of Jordan Racing wanting to start a SX/MX team. Although it may seem like a long shot, has anyone or any friends of the family made any attempts to contact Jordan Racing on possible team opportunities? Also, are the rumors correct that suzuki fun center won't support them again because they are "looking for more experienced riders?" I know for a fact they have no riders as of now that they are supporting for the 09 sx season. Maybe it's a good thing to try for again.

I have personally, never heard of Jordan Racing. I will pass this info along to the boys. Do you have any contact info?

This team we speak of does not give a shit about there riders one bit! ONE BIT!
How can you "Suspend" then Fire a mechanic because he took the riders to get food because they were starving after racing because the team didnt properly nutrition there riders! Why are the riders having to bring there own water and lunch on race day? but sometimes they dont have to?
I Dont really care anymore. Id honestly feel more comfortable with the Blose Bros on their own bikes than those guys...
