Must admit I’m a bit confused by you showing up here Ping... you made it sound as though you had too much on your plate and needed to pull back from your Moto-journal work to focus on your family. I guess we don’t get the straight truth with you. Like when you said the beef you started with Pulp MX was fake news. ...looks like you’re the fake news bro.

I have a question

Please explain how feld keeps on doing EXCLUSIVE deals with sponsors like monster energy,Toyota and now cbmd when teams are struggling to get a title sponsor why does feld set out for such a short sighted view or honestly a quick cash grab when clearly they are so greedy to the point a rider can’t even sell a t shirt in the pit area ? How do teams not ban together and tell feld they are shitting on their own sport that turns them a profit ? I can’t understand how this keeps happening

Glad to have you apart of vital to buddy

Needed to "pull back" as in RacerX didn't want him pissing off Matthes anymore so they told him to take a hike is what I would guess.

Yeah your right, most journalists in this industry are nut huggers and afraid to piss anyone off, Matthes is the closest thing to "telling it like it is" we've got. So I'm sure some people do find it pretty hard to get along with him. Personally I probably wouldn't follow the sport nearly as close as I do if it weren't for his content.

Too bad Ping him and ol' Pinger had whatever falling out they did.

You want a little telling it like it is? I think it's peculiar that people are starting to treat their moto media sources like they treat their politics. I don't get the tribalism. We get along with pretty much everyone else.

Feel free to pick and choose what you want to read, view, or listen to. But pitting people against each other (you're not the only one to do that in here) is weird.

As for your earlier assertion that he got let go by Racer X? Get outta here with that nonsense.

Mx media tribalism should not be tolerated unless the target is Motocross Action and Jody. I learned that here at Vital. 😐

I don’t know dude. I hate it when they ask softball questions and do fluff pieces but it’s their right. If the people don’t like it they are free to follow someone else or go elsewhere for content. I think it’s great that some of the riders and journalists are buddies. I’ll agree it sucks when they won’t ask the hard questions or report the real truths. Money and fans are what drives a media outlet. If the people don’t like it the place will dry up and die.

I wonder if DC is pissed that Ping moved to “the competition”. Hopefully they had an amicable parting of the ways and this move wasn’t a surprise.

Since you're open to questions, can we talk some more about "seat bounce?"

Are we supposed to be asking questions in here? Do they get answered next week?

Ping, do you miss the Golden State National’s (as they were in the 80’s/90’s)? Do you have a favorite GSN moment (whether your race or not)?

Were Bridgestone M22’s really that good on hard pack or is that before your time? Speaking of hard pack, why is that an ancient memory on today’s National tracks? Is it possible our US riders have had too much chocolate cake?

Getting along with ANYONE who believes the same shit as Matthes is difficult. I don’t blame Ping. For the record Matthes (much like people with the same dumbass beliefs as himself often do) is the one who created friction. Ranting and raving about guns and the president. That fat fuck should go home to Canada. 👋🏻

I have a question

Please explain how feld keeps on doing EXCLUSIVE deals with sponsors like monster energy,Toyota and now cbmd when teams are struggling to get a title sponsor why does feld set out for such a short sighted view or honestly a quick cash grab when clearly they are so greedy to the point a rider can’t even sell a t shirt in the pit area ? How do teams not ban together and tell feld they are shitting on their own sport that turns them a profit ? I can’t understand how this keeps happening

You must not be a business man!

Feld gives a lot of tv exposure to a sponsor. Teams, not so much!

Why do I get the feeling, even though none of them will ever publicly admit it, that Racer X is the one that decided that "Ping needed to spend more time with his family" ?

Because that’s exactly what Ping told me.

I guess if you have a couple of guys not getting along you have to keep the one with more followers and influence? It’s a different world these days and if they had to make a choice I’d guess Mathes looks more appealing than a part timer. Just a guess?

And to a sane person, you look like a maniac painting a false picture. How much time has he spent talking about either of those two topics throughout his 400+ PULP MX shows or countless other podcasts?

If you find it hard to get along with the general public, maybe you are the asshole.
