Any members from that old motocross.com site. I would argue it was one of the best motocross sites. Back when chat rooms were a thing. I made some friends on there I would love to reconnect with.

Discuss or no info?

Thanks
Zinga.

I want to say it was around 1999 until 2001 or so. I was on there a lot. User name was Backdraft (I was a firefighter at the time). Some user names I remember.

ItalGal
Fasteddy
Angie4mx
JTCR125
MxLarge

Had some pretty good times in that chat room and met up with some of the people in person at the Pontiac Supercross one year.

Motodrive was the GOAT in my book. Nothing ever came close

You only say that because you got banned from motocross.com for yelling at the kids!

I used to spend a fair amount of time on there...I was young back then. I remember saving my allowance money up to send in the $50 or whatever it was to get my name in bold and color, haha. I think I used the screen name “Jimbo” back then (no idea why - I think just a random name that stuck). I remember some names on there such as Gears and Fox-E (Australian Moto-mom).

Fun times back then

rec.motorcycles.dirt ... THAT was the place to be.

I was on MotoTalk for a few years. Fun place... learned a lot, had some fun debates, met good people.

Never been on that forums.
The only thing was addicted to (back around 01-06) was Ronronmx.com

I joined after the chat room days but remember posting on the forums. Then it moved to the mxforum and died a slow death.

man, good times back then.

Interesting fact - met my wife through that. Not because of it, but that was initial meeting.

i recall names like this...honey, sloth, wrench, and so many i cant recall apologies. Also, this cat from Alabama used to send me VHS videos of the races. What a f$%king community huh?

Ronron was great. I don't remember as much shit talking, crying, negativity and internet tough guys back then. I may be misremembering though lol
