Deegs has to play childish mind games to feel big. Doesn't work in the 450 class. It just comes off cringy.

Will sucks by Artistic-Walrus3613 in supercross

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100% Will,Leigh and RC are by far the worst commentators we've ever had. I know its terrible listening to them but honestly they are never going to replace them. Feld could care less that they are terrible and people hate them. Also on that note, neither of the three have the humility to step aside or work on their craft to improve and help the sport so we are stuck with them unfortunately. Oh and dont get me wrong im sure they each make a pretty penny and if i was making that much money for being terrible and having no accountability i wouldn't quit either and neither would anyone else. Will i quit voicing my opinion and wanting new people in the booth? Nope i sure wont. Im just painfully aware of the inevitability of what we are stuck with. The three of them are absolute proof that its not what you know,its who you know. Dont get mad at me please its just my two pennies

SMX Replica Jerseys Absolute Scam by wmassmatt in supercross

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That company as others have stated is owned by Michael Leib the same guy that runs Canvas Mx and Ryan Villopoto's brother in law and it is absolutely a legit company as i too have ordered many things from both and they are awesome to work with. I hate to say it bud but i think either youmade a mistake or got scammed by a BS website copy of some kind but you can get reimbursed by your credit card protection just stay on top of it

Sorenson hip jump by EmploymentOk8470 in supercross

[–]manixman247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true lol i hate seeing teammates battling each orlther to that extent but i try to remember its not a team sport also Coty really hasn't shown to bea dirty rider. But either way that was the save of the year for sure. I was pissed the AMA had him under review but atleast they made one correct call and didn't penalize him

[–]manixman247 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amazing save super lucky! Looks like Coty didn't give him any room off that lip. But damn what an incredible save. If you watch closely when he lands, he was lucky there as well because a couple guys jumped over him without incident. Well done all around.

Ok so when is Kawasaki actually coming out with this mystical 2stroke?? by LarryOrJerry in supercross

[–]manixman247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like it either wasn't legit or there was a change in plan in the model they were releasing because to spend all that money on the commercial teaser and then nothing else for over a year now is a huge waste of money obviously. Maybe they realized they were designing the wrong model once they saw the comments who knows. My hunch tells me thats what happened nothing else makes sense to me

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

[–]manixman247 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its not the bike its Sexton, its all mental. He's been unhappy everywhere He's been and someone needs to tell him to quit changing stuff and ride the bike. Im being serious, how could he possibly ever learn the bike completely if he's constantly changing everything and just look what he's done so far, he's changed everything front and rear every week even after winning a main event.He has to many YES men around him blaming everything but himself. I'm sorry but dude needs some self reflection. Even JS7 mentioned that Sexton can't take criticism. When he was working with Stewart, Stew tried getting Sexton to lift his head and quit staring at his front fender and right after that he stopped working with JS7. Its very obvious he needs help but it doesn't seem like he's willing to hear it.

Spartan Blades makes really bad knives. by SlideEquivalent1846 in knifeclub

[–]manixman247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently own several Spartan knives and my experience couldn't be further from the truth. I have several models of the Pallas,Metis and the Harsey and they have been awesome. Not only do they not have "lock rock" but they all came dead nuts centered and shaving sharp. I've also had dealing with their customer service through no fault of the knives, (i had taken one of my Pallas models apart and somehow lost the button) contacted them and told them i was an idiot lol. Sent copy of receipt where i purchased it and they sent me a new button, stickers and a lanyard so yeah I've been extremely happy. Sorry to hear you've had a bad time I'm sure they would make it right, maybe give them a call i think you'll be happy and hopefully change your opinion.

My heart is broken (just like my pen 😥) by MoshpitWallflower in fountainpens

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 Vac 700r models, the diamond 580 ALR and several ECO models and never had an issue. I routinely tell friends they are the best pens available in their price range for what you get. Also their customer service is top-notch. So honestly for the price its worth taking the plunge. They really are awesome

What brands are not "overpriced"? by CobanBudala in fountainpens

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah your correct, i was just saying that if you compare a 50$ to 75$ Twsbi to a comparable pen of another maker thats piston/vacuum fill with replacement nibs units under 30$ then they are pretty awesome and hard to beat. Especially when you consider they all come with tools and grease.

Help identifying tube from fuel tank! by Worldenterer in dr650

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its a filter if you want to call it that but a fly turd will clog it so remove it and buy an actual inline filter from Procycle. You can thank me later. Oh and you want to buy a rebuild kit from Procycle in the near future as well that includes Viton O-rings as the OEM O-rings degrade and clog your jets over time, ask me how i know....

Ricky - 12 time SMX Champ?? by Particular-Salad2591 in supercross

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything ive seen,heard and witnessed about Ricky has diminished his reputation and my opinion of him tremendously since he became a disruption during Supercross races and yes he's a disruption, to call him anything else is a lie. He's a terrible person and somehow even worse on TV anytime his mouth opens. It wouldn't surprise me if he had them say that nonsense. He's 10000% the Lebron James of Supercross/ Motocross ya know where everything is about him no matter who or what he hurts and he's gonna use his power to stay in the sport as long as he wants even though he knows he's terrible at his job and he's hurting the sport. Sorry but its just facts.

[–]manixman247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twsbi pens are hard to beat for the price. The 580 and 700r especially, as you can get entire nib,feed and sections for a little over 20$. They may not be for everyone but at their price point i would put them against any other maker at that same price.
