I went riding last weekend with a few young bucks. About half way through our 2 hour drive, the guy in the back seat starts shuffling shit around unzipping shit. I look to the back seat, and he's pulling out weed. He offered a hit to myself and the other guy, we both declined. The guy, then continued on to smoke for 15 minutes or so. Dude says he always smokes before he rides. The dude was damn fast!! Maybe I need to smoke before I ride haha
Anyone else ride high, or have done it in the past and then rode? Still a little in shock hahaha

To me motocross is purely an athletic endeavor. Smoking pot is the opposite to what an athlete would/should do anyway so I just don't get why anyone would in the first place. Adrenalin not enough? Maybe they do it to reduce the fear and nerves but thats your body/minds natural don't kill myself mechanism. Yep dull that off a bit ?? Not smart.
Alright alright alright

I have one of my very best friends that smokes it time to time. And I swear to god.....if he doesn't smoke....I'll run with him. If he does smoke some.......crap!....he just walks away from me out there!
Weed aint the devils lettuce any more man. People in this day and age have figured it out. Instead of putting a bunch of pharmaceuticals down your throat.....weed would be considered a healthy alternative.
If you feel you need it to ride.......more power to you.
Pit Row
Smoking and play riding was a something I would say around half of my MX buddies partook in, including myself. Race day was different as we would wait until motos were over before toasting one up. But when we were out in the hills or in the desert during the week we were stoned most of the time. Weed back then was very mild, smoking a joint was like having a half of a beer. Would never drink and ride and neither did anyone I hung out with.
I would probably not be too far off in saying that some extremely fast National caliber pros were toasting them up on a pretty consistent basis back in the 70's but on race day I think most were pretty straight. The nice thing about the herb is that Saturday night smoke fest has zero effect on you Sunday morning. Now this shit they are smoking nowadays is another story! This super weed they r producing will make you see elephants in the bathtub. I had to give it up years ago but there are a awful lot of 50-60 year olds that smoke regularly. I work for some very successful business people living in very nice beachfront homes that have a joint instead of a drink after a hard day at the office. It's a guess, but I would say 60-70% of our customers (we do high end home remodeling in San Diego area) are over 55 and are regular stoners
And if they're drunk I'd imagine they would be all over the place narrowly killing everyone.
The stuff today isn't your grandma s weed. It is very strong(most of it) i smoke casually and i would not want to ride mx high. I ride stoned around my farm ha but i'm more less just fuckin aroumd. When i'm on mx track, i need 100% focus and prefer to smoke after if i even do.
I agree some of the stuff today is crazy strong and gets you to ripped to be on a mx track imo.
Drawing a parallel between alcohol on the track vs cannabis is like comparing apples to bananas.
I recently read a stat that claimed 25% of car accidents are alcohol related. That means the other 75% are caused by assholes that drink coffee and eat yoghurt and the like.
For those of you not feeling safe being on the track with somebody that had a smoke, are you OK with somebody that has a massive hangover? Prozac? Other common pharmaceuticals that produce brain fog as a side effect? What about the guy who is pre occupied thinking about his one nite stand that turned out to be s tranny?
And for good measure - the lamest rebuttal of all time - how many elite pro races have you won on a good sativa?
