I GOT PROTESTED! (Florida Trail Riders)

Wow what a weekend... My last ride on the 2000 KTM 250 and with 2 laps to go I lost my axle nut. Stuff happens with old bikes. Sunday was eventful super dusty race ended up taking the overall but not without some drama. I got penalized, for the first time ever.
Thanks for watching!

Never heard some one calling 1/8 inch 2/16…. 🤦‍♂️

[@alanwesterfield4254]

Jesse, you guys MUST follow the rules! You could have hurt yourself or someone else with those oversized numbers! Don't you dare apologize for something that stupid man. That is the by far the worst sissy protest reason I have heard in around 28 years of going to races. Well, I guess if you can't beat them on the track.... SAD.

[@patrickwhite1518]

Nice meeting you this weekend. Awesome race. Thanks for telling me my Rekluse is toast 🤣🤣

[@eloos74]

Being a ftr member for many yrs. I understand why rules are in place, but 2/16 of a inch, give me a break. Out here in the midwest they allow 3 wheelers to race!!!!! Keep up the good content.

[@gwzaiser]

Congratulations on the win!

[@TharpRacing417]

Idk what’s more crazy the fact the fact you got protested for over sized numbers or some ppl don’t know how to use a tape measure 🤣🤣 don’t let this little thing put you down Jesse keep up the hard work!

[@Randy_Cox]

Never heard of a protest over number and letter size..😂😂. Some chicken s$#t dudes down in Florida i guess. Shake it off and keep ripping dude. 👍

[@thumbgas888]

It was the most cry baby protest I have ever seen in my life and even his number plate wasn't rule book spec😤completely BS!!!, Awesome riding man!!!, Karma will strike No worries!!!

[@austinhooper4584]

You still won man congrats!

[@dominocweber9763]

That start was sick! She fired right up and pulled hard.

[@evanjohnson5480]

2/16? Definitely Florida.. It's 1/8 in parts of the world with 4th grade and above.

[@bradgustafson448]

Hey Jesse, You handled this with a great deal of maturity. I applaud you! I think what FTR should have handled it was to state that every AA rider who's numbers are out of compliance must correct the issue by the very next FTR event. They surely could have handled it differently. The way they handled it has caused a huge uproar.

[@dyldomane]

Moto is so insane how people protest about legit anything 🤣🤣🤣

[@xclife211]

Wow i cant belive that thats a cry baby thats what that is he mad because he lost

[@SM-yq9ig]

“Two inches is Two inches” That’s what she said!!! 😂😂 Dang that’s lame… but good video

[@shuvlhd78]

I’m from another series and the FTR plate color, number and letter requirements are a deterrent to race their HS events again. Unfortunate about the protest for this reason. Heat the same letters up and stretch em another 1/8” ✊🏻

[@MikeBurney9282]

FTR races are awesome regardless of the numbers and letters lol

[@shuvlhd78]

I’m glad to see the rule change and I love FTR enduro’s

[@mikeb4708]

Agreed! You can race a GNCC with any number or color background but show up at a FTR race without it and you get DQ’d. Both series have electronic scoring.

[@edwardkirkland686]

Seems a little chicken 💩to me!

[@5coutdoors142]

Drop a name. Make him famous.

[@zmjzmj8464]

Those rules are outrageous! I almost didn't make the start for number issues

[@sqd37l]

every sport seems to have idiots. sorry to hear this happened. usually most people in the dirt bike world are cool but not always.

[@Jonathanbroyles61]

2/16ths😂😂😂

[@alanwesterfield4254]

LOL. That is almost an eighth???! Dang Jesse why take the RISK!

[@joedirt9830]

Thanks for the video. Some people will do anything for a win. Even if it's something as ridiculous as number size

[@wyattschmuker5]

Dang that sucks! The same thing happens to me! I got protested like 3 races in a row bc I race a Honda 150 and they said it is not s allowed to race the mini class bc it is to fast?

[@bikesbeersbeats]

This is such a local club thing its not even funny. I’ve experienced the MRANN club in NV pulling similar shit on D36 racers from CA. Partly because D36 is ultra competitive, and when those guys race MRANN they clean up!

[@Toast4days]

What a joke of a protest!

[@lukekelly5115]

I couldnt even believe the ftr thread after reading all the comments

[@keef195]

The protestors plate was not within FTR regs either.

[@Yamaha38XCRacer]

Still smoked em tho!!!!! ✌️

[@RandyCollins5314]

I've been riding for fifty years and have never heard of someone loosing axel nut😂😂😂

[@jesserichter7560]

you should race another mountainstateharescramble the one race you came in was rained out and made it better for ppl that like hard Enduro lol

[@MtPocketsRacing]

Most petty protest I’ve seen in my 30+ years of racing 🤦‍♂️

[@treybird893]

FTR changed the rules for the rest of the season bc of this protest

[@xclife211]

For the numbers/letters??

[@simondalikeable9655]

Would have been the slowest guy in the group! How do you even show up at the next event after protesting something like this???

[@RichardsCranium]

idk man check it with dial calipers. construction tape measures are not accurate at all.

[@daltongarecht8122]

Salty cause they can’t touch JA or Lugar😂

[@TroyCollier]

Here I am complaining about a moto race I went too that didn't even have practice. Pretty much the full opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to rules and format. I guess I need to remove my HBD stick on letter now. 😅

[@leonrawls892]

I was the H/S referee in late 80s for two years. And that was BULL---T I would have told the person protested you to go get a life!

[@JaredCulbertson-m3j]

Should put it to a vote AA riders can do two 1 inch letters since it’s double the letters on the same size number plates.

[@mallard79]

The only reason you won was the weight you saved with the smaller letters. LOL

[@danhopkinson2811]

absolute joke with the letter sizing. firstly who ever flagged it up and whinged is really sad. but secondly tape measures are all different and that's a fact! old mate is saying you're 2/16th of an inch short, but measure it with a different tape measure and it could be bang on 2 inches.

[@blakekibler9374]

That would be my last time I showed up to that series

[@JesseAnsley]

Can’t play into one’s game… that’s what is wanted. Show up and keep winning 😁🤘🏼

[@609enduro]

Come on..... fess up. Drop a name or u get an un-sub.

[@gooberhead3105]

Dude you are fast and I hope who ever pro tested you gets a participation award because the cry baby deserves it lol.

[@chrismayo256]

Boy.. this is a joke right 😂😂

[@johnbranson7253]

Protested for that. Jeez, really?

[@jw8556]

2/16's short what a wank they could have just warned everyone and then check before the next race

[@humbertobereta2376]

what rule says? can you just check and confirm you are in the rule? Tip for kids, practice, be a above average rider but dont skip school and know how to read and interpret correctly rules.

[@JesseAnsley]

Tips for adults, apply proper grammar on any comments referring to staying in school.

[@DB_616]

Thats actually the dumbest thing i have ever heard. We cant just race these days lol

[@dylanmcconnell5692]

Buddy obviously can’t read a tape measure he probly shouldn’t be a official

[@scheels2581]

🤣🤣🤣

[@buttfarmfilms3620]

GO NORTH

[@MikeBurney9282]

Kinda hard to race up north in the winter lol
