The cost is getting way out of hand and really limits who can do what
Local races where you are there for 12 hours and get less than 30 minutes of seat time
The calculated fall to the short toilets at Albany MX. It's literally sketchier than riding sometimes. Since you can't really do the regular sit down with your riding pants and boots on. It's you and your nuts vs gravity
Douche bag kids that think they're the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Waking up at 6 A.M. driving 3 hours to get to the track, getting a total of one hour of ride time, packing up all your dirty shit, driving 3 hours back, and having to unpack and clean all your dirty shit off.
Money, or should I say lack there of.
Watching pros make it look so easy, then kicking over your bike and facing the reality that most of us face. Unless you're DDavis.

Pit Row
The more items we can check off these lists, shows how long we have been riding.
I am a bit older, but I have just finished my 44th year of dirt bikes and motocross!
Ready to buy a new 450 in the spring. Wouldn't trade moto for anything.
Can you say "two-wheel drift"?
It's almost as bad as getting back into cold wet hockey gear for the second game of the day at a hockey tournament,
I'm glad most of us have a good sense of humor.....especially the porta-pottie ones!
how about............
- loosing to a girl (not that that has ever happened to me!)
- James is faster than Chad, or RV, or RD, or etc. threads
- chicks who do their nails at the races
- thinking you're in about 5th place only to find out you are a lapper.
- broken boot buckles
- the dvd player keeps skipping while you are watching 'On Any Sunday' or 'Winners Take
All'
- Waiting until after your moto to go take a dump and then getting to the toilet in a panic only to have your pants get hung up on your knee braces while you're in a cramped porta potty and it's 117 degrees in there.
- Finally getting your pants passed the knee braces so you can hurry up, sit down, and do work, and then as you sit, you wonder if your ass is really that sweaty or if someone just pee'd all over the toilet seat without you noticing.
- Having to manuever around rain ruts on jump faces because the track hasn't been prepped in about 2 months.
- Quads.
- That false sense of confidence when you bail mid-air but think you'll land feet first on the landing and be ok, only to find yourself laying on the ground about 5 seconds later wondering if your legs are ok.
- When people see you at a gas station or whatever with your bike, and the first question they ask is, "How fast does that thing go?"
- Talking moto with someone who really has no clue what they're talking about.
- Hearing one of your buddies say that he's selling his bikes and quitting completely because it's too expensive to race 2 races almost every weekend and be at the track 3-4 days during the week, but you're pretty sure it actually has something to do with his dad yelling at him everytime he didn't win, or even if he did, he'd get yelled at for not getting the holeshot or for just barely winning.
- Seeing someone you're racing against huffing gas (ya, for real... I made sure I was NOT lined up next to that idiot)
- People that get into fights or just talk a lot shit at races when there's little kids around.
- Track owners/managers that have a bad attitude towards all the racers.
- A favorite track getting closed down (I miss Mosier)
-Leaving air filter cages in the garage while you are three hours away installing fresh filters.
-125 in the Open class
-Both classes only 2 motos apart, on different bikes.
-Feeling on the gate that you hate racing.
-Feeling after a crash that you hate racing.
-Hearing your kid/brother/kid brother's bike panic rev and the sprint in full gear towards him.
-"You might want to quit riding, your back is shot."
-Sleeping in the floor of the van in January
-Seeing the picture of you that looks so good, only to notice that your goggle strap is hanging down or that the next photo you look like your about to eat it.
-Calling a track that says they've gotten no rain, only to get there and see it's a swamp.
