Just saw this line from you:

"Well since you asked.....When have you ever read anything negative from him about RV, Mr. Pro Circuit, John Ayers, Reed, the list goes on.. There is plenty of dirt on all those guys, yet he never says anything about them, why not? If he wants to be the guy who tells it like it is, tell us about everyone, not just the guys he personally has issues with. J-Law wont talk to him, so he writes a bash piece...Alessi's, why confirm rumors? The guy is the farthest thing from a journalist in mx. He's like that kid in jr. high, who wants so bad to be popular, he will tell anyone who will listen what he has heard about everyone else.. Sooner or later he will run out of "sources."

This is the second time you have called me out for apparently not digging deep enough on certain people so I need some help on this. Email me at matthes@racerxonline.com and give me a heads up on where to start with the above-mentioned guys. Like, you know, all the stuff that "I know" but won't write about.

Serious, send me a mail. Let's talk.

Yo Matthes, I've always been curious on something.
Assuming you get alot of your info from just "hangin out". Are people careful what they say or do they say "on record" or "off record". Do you respect their wishes?
Love your articles btw.

Yeah, thats just it. It's on or off the record with people (just spoke today to a team owner and he said "this is all off the record" and we chatted for half and hr about salaries, OEM budgets etc etc.) If it's a big deal, I'll ask them if I can print it and they will either say no or fine, but you didn't hear it from me.

Reed's a dude that mostly says, yeah you can say what you want and credit me-I don't care.

I have to respect their wishes or I'd be done in a hurry. If I ever have a question on if something is right to run or whatever, DC's a great guy to bounce something off. He's been there and done that.

Nickhil, I don't really care what people think of me, my work stands on its own but it's the off season and I could use Trip's "dirt" on RV, Ayers, Mitch etc etc.

I think its cool we have someone in the industry that is prepared to put themselves out there every now and then with their articles, i always read your columns and read most stuff that goes on PulpMX just because I know it will be interesting and might even call a few people out.
Keep it up, and dig some dirt up to keep us entertained in the off season!

If MXSports can get the first motos live on the internet at every outdoor national in BFE, you'd think Feld could at least get all of the Heats & LCQ's live on the internet for SX races held at football stadiums in major cities.

Oops...that was supposed to go in the "SX Live $40???" thread, but it obviously didn't make it there.

I guess Matthes could investigate it, though.

I think the problem is Feld doesn't have any kind of partnership with any website or any group like Alli, or even Racer X when it was the Racer X motocross shows. They have Supercross only, and all they want is TV ratings.

I've been wrong before tho.

I'm just giving you a hard time, I actually like your stuff. The interviews on pulpmx are top notch!

Though I do think you got a bit childish and unprofessional in the Alessi thread...

Matthes: forget all this nonsense with this trip character, and give us the last 6 rounds of your Nationals analysis! That was damn good stuff. I was looking forward to 'Shougal, then got to the bottom, and was sadly disappointed Sad

Ok sorry to break up the slob fest on Matthes' sack here, I see how well it's all going...

I don't need to email you. You and I both know there is dirt on your golden boys. That's the point in all this, everyone has dirt they may not be proud of. You seem to take pride in digging on guys like Alessi, J-Law, and CC.

I see where this would go if I told you what I know about certain guys. You would become me, and try and tell me the other side of the story, right??

I am not going to tell you where to look. If it comes out I am the one who blabbed, I will lose what few connections I have. I'm not trying to get people to read a website. I do not work for Racer X, so I can't afford to lose anyone I talk to...

I see you and Reed are boys, so I know your not going to dig on him, ever..

It's just not worth it to me to say anything about anyone. People tell me things and I'm not so hard up to be industry that I need to talk about it on a message board.

Keep up the tabloid jorunalism, people on here seem to eat that shit up..

How about a certain family member and R.V not getting along.

Any truth to that?

Nice cast trip. If Bobby hadn't reeled in the never illusive Alessi fish, I'd say you'd have set a record.


This fish does have a Lamprey problem though.

I know it means nothing to you, and i'm not trying to start shit here, but you seem to have been acting like an idiot around here lately.

That post is a perfect example.

Shit man! I like a lot of the stuff you write. What are you gonna do, get suckered into writing something that will get you banned from MX quicker than you can say "Steve Bruhn"? Good luck with that. But if you PM me I've got some stories that will end up with both of us in court. Laughing
p.s I've been around the this joint since 1968 and started out working for Al Baker Jr. when I was still in High School. Grew up riding with most of the guys that rode around the San Fernando Valley since the 50's, Crater Camp, Catalina, Big Bear etc. and I'm only 53.

Not trying to start anything, looking for something interesting to write about. Trip acts like he knows some things that would be just that.

I guess he's not going to help, I'll keep on keepin on.

what do we want to know, who's divorcing, who's at the swingers parties, who did some escort in LV, who has debts, who screwed their friends, who cheated the team and the wife, which rider is fighting with his parents, who's paid their taxes or not, who's doing dope, who's doing PED????

Do we care? Be it JL, RV, CR, JMB, why bother? I am only interested in the racing and their behavior at the races, their interactions with fans and the sport, at the races, and on tracks.

why not start digging into our neighbors, families, on and on and on.

I know we love gossiping, we love TMZ but what good does it do to talk about Healey, J-Law, Askenazi? Yes, there are people turning bad everywhere and people having bad stuff happening all the time, everywhere.
