Worst Things about motocross………………..
1. Monday mornings after a race
2. having to Clean your air filter after neglecting it longer than you really admit to
3. Being in the last moto of the day
4. Having to drop a deuce 5 minutes before your moto
5. Fluorescent pink MX gear that you are too embarrassed to wear anymore
6. Flat-billers
7. People who insist on using the number ‘69’ on their bike
8. The a$$hole that beat you by 1 point
9. The bigger a$$hole that beat you and you both were tied in overall points
10. People that insist everything they buy for motocross is the best
11. Breaking your fender in practice on raceday
12. Getting the holeshot and then laying it over in the first corner
13. Having a pitboard, but no one using it for you
14. ordering new gear and finding out they sent the wrong size
15. Denting your new aftermarket pipe
16. Losing one of your gloves at the racetrack
17. ‘Sharting’ while at the track with all your buddies
18. Having vehicle problems while traveling to an out of town race

19. The constant expense!
20. Spending all afternoon fixing one thing only for something else to go wrong the following weekend.
21. Getting to the track and realising you left your boots behined.

22. Expert purse payback still puts you way in the negative compared to how much you spent to race.

- Having to drive 5 hours to get home with a dad who's pissed off because it rained and you bent your bike.
-Having to initiate a major mining operation to clean out the nostrils after a dust race.
-Tank-slapping adolescent nuts during their most important stage of development.
- 1970's porta-potties- yuck
- pre-race nerves and the accompanying diarrhea
-being 15 years old, 115 pounds and looping out a 1978 CR250r while pulling a holeshot- and the pain that results after you're run over by 3 guys behind you.

Why do people rip on the number 69? Even DeCoster picked it once for the Trans AMA...

Falling over on your first lap after getting to the track, breaking your clutch lever and not having a spare.

- Seeing people suffering life-changing, debilitating injuries when they were just out to have fun.

- Families forcing themselves into financial ruin and sacrificing a child's future on their own pipe dreams.

- Costs escalating to a point where a passionate young teenager and his dad can't even afford to compete.

Shitting in the port-a-poty and having the water splash back up on your ass and the back of your jersey.

Getting your bike Stolen when you just ran into your buddy's house "real quick" to tell him how you did racing that day.

Getting it back 4 months later completely demolished and seized, but hey I got it back.
