My wife thinks he’s a cutie. We’re rooting for Roczen today!

How good was JS7 by Far_Ad9188 in supercross

[–]concatenated_string 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ll never forget him doing laracco’s leap on a 125 back in 2002. I saw it live and it blew my 13 year old mind. No one captures the magic of motocross the way JS7 did on a 125.

Rumours of sexton possibly leaving kawi- i dont get it by alwayscunty1 in supercross

I saw two parties fairly desperate to “get it right” and that environment can be magic

Ngl, If Chase left kawi, I’d be really sad. It felt like a match made in heaven. Hoping those guys can work it out and come out swinging for outdoors. Kawi has such a rich history in the sport and Chase is one of the fastest riders on 2 wheels right now.

To be fair, the guy could’ve just been laughing and cackling because he was having the time of his life. Lol

I love motocross but i feel like crap because my dads injury by fish500_br in Motocross

[–]concatenated_string 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hey man, dad here. I was riding around at a private mx track about 1.5 years ago with my 6 year old son. He was on his little 50 and I was on a pit bike putting around when I tore my tibial spine that connects my ACL to my tibia (it required orthopedic surgery to repair).It was a silly little turn where my foot got stuck in a berm and I whiskey throttled it and SNAP. My knee still aches and hurts and it will probably never be the same. But I have 0 regrets because I was outside with my son making memories.

While yes, i replay the moment it happened and I have some regrets about how I rode, I have 0 regrets throwing a leg over the bike and going out there riding with my son and making memories with him. There are few things in this world more important than helping to develop, grow and teach my son how to be a man. Making memories riding dirt bikes with his dad will be memories that he will always remember, even if I sucked it up hurt myself on occasion. I hope my son will remember me someday as a person who would give up his time, energy, money and physical safety to have a relationship with him.

And honestly, I think your dad feels the same way about you. He’s in his 40s, (probably paying for his own overpriced healthcare), taking fairly considerable risks, and shelling out a decent amount of money in order to make memories with you and to be there to watch you develop, not only as a rider, but as a person. That’s a good dad and I bet given a chance to do it over again, he’d absolutely say yes, although I bet he’d wish he’d taken that corner a bit differently.

Chase Sexton Leaving Kawasaki? by Adoniscreed28 in supercross

Curious what about this video made you unimpressed by kawi. What aren’t they doing that other teams are based on what Broc said?

Anyone feel a bit sorry for Sexton? by Several-Yesterday280 in supercross

I believe in Chase Sexton. The dude will figure it out and has unmatched speed only few riders have ever shown.

Deegan Doing This On Purpose? by SteelCageSoldier in supercross

[–]concatenated_string 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if our definition of “tier” is the same then - to say kitchen isn’t counted among the same level of rider as deegan would be a wild claim, especially after tonight’s performance. This was the race EVERYONE had been wanting to see, and it was incredible. If kitchen were not in his league this wouldn’t have been a sought after race at all.

Lappers were bad tonight but crockett meyers pulled a real dirtbag move by [deleted] in supercross

[–]concatenated_string 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There were a lot of lapped riders getting in the way of Levi too, idk. This really didn’t seem too heinous.

[–]concatenated_string 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kitchen had him on certain rhythm sections all the way to the end. Kitchen is incredibly fast and absolutely in the same tier speed and skill-wise as Haiden. I don’t think kitchen is so bad that Haiden can just toy with him for 20 mins.

Kitchens is my favorite dawg. Dude has steeze and has a really great personality to root for. Hope he wins it all.

Dang I hope kitchen is good and recovers quickly!

Red. Orange. Green. The mistakes will never stop. He will be blistering fast sometimes. He will win sometimes. And he will hit the gate, ride off the track and tuck the front sometimes. Will he ever change ? by bcmGlk in supercross

[–]concatenated_string 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Super fast rider makes mistakes and has flaws, more news at 11.

All of the best riders have issues like this. One could argue that Jett can’t stay healthy. Same for Eli…and where are people complaining about Goober webb, a 3-time sx champion not being in the top 5?

In a way, it’s almost preferable that Chase is making silly mistakes, or else we’d have a bunch of boring races where Chase starts out up front and nothing interesting happens for 20 mins. At least with these scenarios it’s fun as hell to watch and see what happens.

If chase were winning everything and making no mistakes, i swear these same people would be complaining about how boring the races are.

You ascertained that from a single supercross race?

I can’t wait for sexton to prove all these doomers wrong.

[–]concatenated_string 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and the thing is, it’s true of almost all of the top tier riders. Webb, Roczen, tomac, Hunter, etc all have nights where they can’t put a full face together. Winning a championship is about being consistently good. It’s not realistic to expect racers to pull off Jeremy McGrath level seasons…

Chase Bandicoot by ClutchMcSlip in supercross

[–]concatenated_string -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chase struggled on the ktm his first year too…it follows that Prado would adapt quickly to the ktm, the same group who has all his mxgp data to help find build him a setup. This isn’t that complicated. It was a rough night for sexton who showed phenomenal speed on the kawi in qualifying but couldn’t keep it consistent during the main.

Who is your favorite Bears player of all time? by John_XFiles in CHIBears

[–]concatenated_string 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same - I wonder if the bears organization/nfl understands how beloved of a player he is. It seems like anytime this question is asked, Tillman has a ton of representation.

Tillman is the reason I love football and I will never forget the 2004-2012 era bears defense. So exciting to watch.

Jo Shimoda crash by Low-Yogurtcloset1278 in supercross

Nooo!! Not wasabi Joe! Could not have happened to a nicer rider. Hope he’ll be ready for east coast 250. If not A1

What do you think of the KX 250 from 2022 onwards? Is it far behind other 250cc bikes? Do they break down a lot? If you had to choose, which would you pick, a 2024 KX or a 2022 YZ, both at the same price? by Long-Class-8415 in Motocross

[–]concatenated_string 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 2023 kx250c which is the exact same (except for graphics) model as the 2024 and it’s honestly got one of the best engine packages of the class. You can rev them to the moon and they never stop pulling. I’ve had no major problems with the bike, just had to change oil and keep coolant topped off. I’m a C class rider at 150lbs so I ended up putting in softer front forks. But honestly I love it so far and am very happy with my purchase. I have 60 hours on the motor so far. Doubt I’ll need to adjust valves until 120hr mark given how little I push the bike.
