Everyone always complains that there isnt enough exposure (money) for the privateers. So FS1 goes out of there way to do a profile on a legit privateer, and the first page of this thread is people bitching? There is no way to make motocross fans happy, for the "toughest sport on earth" it sure does have the softest fans

I am a 50 year old racer and fan, more into country music then rap.
A few months ago Tyler Enticknap sent me a friend request on FB, I thought this was cool, so starting chatting a bit, I told him we were coming over for a couple of weeks in January to watch A2 and Oakland SX and do a couple of days riding.
At A2 my son and I meet up with Tyler and Adam and had a great chat, I got a signed Jersey from Tyler.
The next day we went riding at Milestone, afterwards we were talking about Adam's Moto 7 song, (the friend we were with had not heard the song) so we listened to it on the drive back to hotel.
Tuesday we went riding at Lake Elisnore (on vets track), parked where everyone else was parked. I got got out and we were parked beside Adam and Tyler, they remembered who we were so chatted for awhile told Adam about listening to his song the day before. Adam said once you guys get your gear on do you want a photo together.
We went did a hour or so riding on Vets track, then went and watch the pros on the SX track, once Adam had finished a couple of moto's he called us over and we got the photo.
On to Oakland, we were waiting for the gates to open, where we bumped into Tyler, once again chatted for a bit. After practice we went and saw Adam, he gave us the Jersey he had worn in practice (signed).
Was gutted when I heard he had broken his femur during the week.
When I heard at the beginning of the SX broadcast they were going to feature Adam, I new he deserved it.
Adam and Tyler also feature in the April issue of Racer X magazine in the "2 Tribes " section.
Adam as well as Tyler are 2 of the nicest guys in the pits and you can go and chat with them at any time.
Blake Wharton doesnt get hate for going the rock n roll route. He got features too because he had other talents to showcase to a broad audience. Just because you dont like rap doesnt make it any different. He may not be the best rider or rapper, but would you have him quit, give up, and feel sorry for himself and go back to a regular job? Why?!
And now I even find myself fast forwarding through the actual races!
I can't wait for the World Motocross GPs and outdoor nationals to start.
Some people on the thread about the new TV show Chasing the Dream said that they learned more about pro motocross and were more entertained by that TV show than they were by following the actual races.
I think that TV show seems to target and appeal to the type of people who post on this forum, but the supercross broadcasts don't.
I've also been known to rewind a certain section where something really cool happened over enough times that my wifey has to tell me to stop doing it....
I agree with you too about working for your father and how difficult that is. My father owns a company as well an working for him when I was younger taught me plenty.
Pit Row
