Anybody know if there’s back and forth between the mechanics during the races past and present?
Anybody see or recall any good disputes between teams? I recall the Alessi deal but that’s about it.
Be fun to hear some stories, if you have some let’s hear them.

Or are you concerned that if this topic is discussed it will somehow attract more shirtless people - people that are prone to give Marvin the middle finger - to motocross?
You can state your distaste for a particular topic in many different ways - the irony is your post is typical of something a guest on that show you referenced would say. They’d say some snide little remark when they heard something they didn’t like. You exhibit behavior that people you look down on exhibit. That’s really no way to go through life is it?
First of all I would like to thank my sponsors Ignite, Viagra, Trojan, Penthouse Magazine, Bristol Meyers for all the free Pennicillin...
Its hot as all get out. Im there with a new digital camera, taking pics. I want something good, some action shots.
I think it was Yamaha of Troy, whoever was running the Yamaha Factory effort. I'm standing under their awning at the end of maybe 8 blue bikes on stands. Lined up pretty as can be, on stands. Just trying to get some shade.
It's the end of practice. Bikes are pulling in their pits all around, everything is hot and dusty.
Brock Sellards appears at the other end of the row of bikes, turns under the awning and putts real slow, to an empty spot/stand at my end. Right in front of me. There is only a few feet between the rear of the bikes and the rig, it's kinda tight,
Sellards gets off, his mechanic comes up, and as they're talking and getting ready to put his bike on the stand, I notice
a green bike stop at the other end of the row of Yamaha's.
Slowly, but deliberately , the green bike turns into the space behind the row of blue. It kinda creeps half way down the line and then boom, Matt Walker grabs a handful and just plows into the last 4 bikes. Sellards and his mechanic
didn't even see it coming. Before they know what's happening, Sellards, his bike, his mechanic and Walker are all in a heap, with Matt wailing away on Brock's helmet.
Everyone kinda froze for an instant. Well, everyone but Walker. Bikes are laying everywhere, Sellards kinda froze up. His mechanic started giving it back to Matt pretty good, who was still half sitting on his bike.
And Walker didn't let up.
Something happened out there on the track, and Walker was letting his feelings be known I guess.
Then, every guy in blue under that awning jumped in. It was like when a pitcher hits a batter in baseball and the dugouts empty. Most just grabbed the 3 of them, but I saw a few land on Walker from the other mechanics.
It was like, hey dude, what do you think yer doing! You're in our house!
After a quick hug fest, they were separated, Matt's bike was pulled from the heap, he got back on, real slow, started it
and putted out of there. Like he owned the place.
Sellards was pissed. The 4 or 5 Yamaha's went back on the stands, lined up again, real pretty. Just as they were
getting back to business, you could tell, nobody could believe what just happened, some guy wearing green, with a clipboard showed up. He and the Yamaha manager are right in front of me, and the Yamaha guy kinda goes off.
Blue tells green you need to keep a leash on that guy. He coulda done this, he could caused that. He's just as pissed as Sellards. The guy from Kawasaki, the guy with the clipboard just stands there, half smiling, listens, says he will do what he can. Then turns, and walks away.
All this took maybe 5 minutes.
And me, I got so caught up in it, with the new digital camera hanging around my neck, the one I got to take action shots, forgot to take even one pic.
