Any idea? I know it's all a circus act but I'm curious. I imagine FMF dumped him but what's the story? Making a video of him burning the FMF stuff is bold...

I think plenty of us are concerned for the actual person at this point.

I think they weren't eating enough ass so Ron ditched the deal because their behaviour was damaging his brand.

Total guess but I'd guess merchandising. Fmf was selling ronnie gear and I'd imagine he wanted to bring all that internal.

Please stop giving this cartoon publicity and maybe he will go away. It was funny for 5 minutes..

I like JA but this fake persona has to go. Line up as JA and earn some respect as he is still fast.

this isn’t hard to believe. I hope jimmy is perfectly fine though. I hope he’s raking in the cash and is just riding this thing out as long as possible.

It’s really crazy though. His original videos used to be pretty damn comical. I remember seeing one of his earlier videos with jimmy McGarth or whatever. It was absolutely hilarious. Not overly vulgar, just some good funny content.

I thought the character was funny for the first couple years or so, and straight rhythm was awesome, but it’s just gotten stale to me.

That said, it’s funny when people tell him he needs to give it up. Ronnie’s Instagram has more followers than some of the top-tier 450 guys like Anderson or Webb. Why put a stop to the money train? More power to him, I just don’t think it’s that funny anymore, personally.

I can tell you we've had several events we planned to go it and then didn't because it was announced that he would be there.

It must be hard to transition - at one point you are making a living riding a dirt bike, and getting all the benefits that come with it...

... and when it's over, you have to go get a regular job like the rest of the world.

I'm sure its harder on some more than others.

Why would Jimmy line up when he makes 10x the amount of money being Ron than he ever would racing.

I’ll never buy any Ron merchandise but I have a hard time hating on a guy that has successfully marketed himself.

Ron’s a business and making more $$ than any privateer

I keep hearing about the followers and the "Money Train" anyone have any sort of proof it's actually a Viable thing?

I'm not a big fan since it took on the over the top crudeness but if He's actually making a living doing it, Power to him.

Fuck Ronnie Dipshit Macasswipe. He's been a detriment to the sport from day one and fucking over the sport and making look stupid as well as playing into every assholes negative stereotype of moto guys for profit makes even fucking worse.

Ever heard the cliche about a lowlife running over his own mother for a dollar? Yeah, that not really a positive trait ya fucking idiots.

All you guys that helped promote this stupid shit are just as guilty at helping the sport look dumb and go backwards. Good job.

Its a shame he has pushed this over the top. It will be a fast downward spiral from here.

So was it that you just didn't want to get lapped by Jimmy? Or his brother?

Respected up-and-comer (remember Top Jimmy?)➡️Factory Honda➡️Team Owner Suzuki 250 class➡️Ronnie Mac. One does not align with the others.

I've said it before, I miss Top Jimmy.

Let ron ride and have fun. I’m sure jimmy Albertson is doing very well off of playing Ronnie mac. Let him do his thing, jeez. People say he’s bad for the sport. Yeah right. I know people who love his videos and they don’t even ride dirt bikes. If you follow jimmy albertson on Instagram, he said he’s preparing for supercross and looks like he’s taking it very seriously. Just ride and have fun. Jeez
