Parents and kids in Sports now that's nothing new, I've been on both ends of it , it's hard to draw the line between pushing the kids to much and being abusive. not to mention about 80% of the people who race can't afford to be there, it's stressful.
It's like in normal life. There's less rich peoples but richer and more poor poorer peoples. The midle class is disapearing.

It is a very big disappoint to see certain media outlets remove and/or simply ban the series. But, on the positive, we are not going anywhere whatsoever. We are committed to this series, and there will be two more seasons and lots of exciting things coming for us all because of you guys getting behind this. So, I truly do appreciate the support. THANK YOU!
And then, all of a sudden, their love for motocross that once seemed so simple goes to a 3-way street: 1) compensating their parents, 2) their (hopefully) own desire to go pro, 3) They realize: hey, this is really all I've done in my life, what the fuck else am I going to do?
Paid my cash, watched all episodes to date in a day.
Very cool.
Keep up the good work, a fantastic series.
Credit to all involved.
Was just watching a flick with my girl last night and told her how sick I am of every moto movie with the same rider quote over and over "this is all i know, i love riding my dirtbike" (repeat repeat repeat...)
Whats wrong with the industry? It continues to grow and no different than every other sport.....some parents try to live through their kids. Not sure that will ever change. It happens in spelling bees! Ever been to a cheerleading competition?
Great job Elmo!!!,I bought the series...,well worth it...you could string three or four of these together and
have a very compelling movie....can't wait for Sean Collier...Big Fan!
Personally what's the big whoop? It is a cautionary tale and instead of trying to sweep this part of MX under the carpet why don't we make the professional age 18 like we were going to so we can at least know for the guys who don't become RD5 or ET3 they'll have a life after MX with a basic education. Not to mention the maturity difference between a 16 year old and an 18 year old.
BTW I would really like to know if the compound fracture and parent walking away was an exaggeration or not.
You can caution people without shaming everyone involved.
Pit Row
And as far as his perspective being skewed because he never landed that factory ride??? Doesn't seem like RV2 had all that different of an opinion
As an example, my question to him which promoted him to go into detail about his issues between him and his father was literally me asking him what his amateur career was like. Was their ever any pressure on him to do well from family and/or sponsors? Or, was it always pretty lax/go have fun? Next thing I know, he replies with the stuff about his dad. Not at all what I was expecting, but I appreciated his honesty.
Another thing to keep in mind, as I have told others who are pissed off about this episode and/or the prior episode... TRUST is huge between myself, my crew and the riders. At the end of the day, these episodes are not mine, they belong to the riders. It's their episode, their story... As told by them, I just put the visuals on top of what they say. When we have a solid cut of the episode together, I personally share the episodes with the riders and let them have the say in what they want to add, remove, change, etc. They ALWAYS have and ALWAYS will the final say before any of this ever gets posted onto the World Wide Web. Sean loves the full episode and requested zero changes. Whether people agree with him or not, he has told me multiple times he was happy to be part of something where he could be true to himself and not have to censor himself, and that he wants people to know his story, his journey... Whether some find it negative and dark, or refreshing and positive to see somebody speak of their experiences openly, he is proud of this and has not been afraid to be candid about what he went through.
