By the way, and I think Regis will back me up here, judging has to be the most thankless job in the world!
One more note: If all you haters don't think that FMX has been good for motocross and the MX industry, you are sadly mistaken.
Sure if you go to Wikipedia or some die hard race fan they will tell you motorcoss is racing only. That is lame.
I ride desert, trails, ramps, tracks and I call myself a motocrosser. I take my Motocross bike and do whatever I feel like that day.
Because I ride my bike in the woods doesn't mean I date my sister and drink moonshine
Because I ride my bike in the desert doesn't mean I drive a lifted truck and listen to Nine Inch Nails
Because I ride my bike on ramps, doesn't mean I have a flat bill hat
But I do however, have a sick tramp stamp and a serious love of Motocross
Freestyle MX has had a huge impact on Supercross and Outdoors and has helped SX and MX a lot more than the other way around. I will tell you right now a lot of the corporate sponsorships we see today are thanks to freestlye and X games.
I don't care if MC, RC, RJ, Wardy, RV, RD or ANYONE thinks it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. IT'S LAME TO ME.
Oh, and I never said it didn't take talent or balls or skillzzzzz or any of that. I simply said IT'S LAME. Carry on....
The Shop
Just think of the hoards of people that clown on racers...."What? They just ride around in circles....Ok, they hit a bump or two along the way...What's the point?"
Wouldn't it be funny if Twitch and DC set all this up?
Both of their target markets got "impressions" and a handful of brand names into this week's conversations.
"IT'S LAME TO ME" - good job.
Is a totally different statement then "IT'S LAME" when stated as fact.
By the way who gives a shit if FMX guys post here, this is a forum for the love of dirt biking. Not for the love of what ktmmatt, I mean yzmatt likes.
I never said it didn't take skill or courage to ride FMX. I said it's LAME.
I can appreciate the skill and courage, it's just completely drowned out by the punk ass wannabe gansta white boy crowd that dominates the scene. Which by the way is a demographic that does NOTHING GOOD for the image of dirt bike enthusiasts in general.
Now.... Do you see how dumb that sounds?
To me Enduro riding is Enduro, Trail riding in Trail riding, Dune riding is Dune riding and Motocross is Motocross and only Motocross.
"FMX is lame" what a pointless statement.
Pit Row
I think Kevin's transfer jump in the opening ceremonies of SX illustrates this point quite well. It's seeing Kevin jump the obstacles in an unintended way that's ultimately what makes it spectacular and awesome. I was never hugely into FMX but I did used to love seeing those guys make jumps out of natural obstacles. With or without the tricks that side of it will always be more cool than all this ramp stuff imo.
With that said, of course full respect to anyone that does it. It does take tremendous skill.
And a bunch of other ignorant shit from a bunch of users...usual stuff really.
matter of fact, there were times I wish I had a hot sister.
KW is the man and what he does is cool! But what he does at a SX shouldn't discredit the freestyle riders. Doesn't mean he has a vision they don't.
There are plenty of really cool freeride videos out there that feature freestyle guys and racers that hit very impressive jumps.
Twitch has one on iTunes.
You get a gold star, champ!
e,g) BMX = Bicycle Motocross
Is that ok with you ? Or shall they drop the mx part?
I suppose you also HATE BMX dirtjump and BMX park?
FMX guys at x fighters are starting to use the circuits like bmx park, making them innovative with lots of transition potential and new obstacles such as wall rides.
In 5 years time you will be amazed at how they use the terrain.
Do you also HATE K-Dub doing transfers at the sx?
You definitely hate a lot.
