Brother you nailed it again. Unadilla was my old stompin grounds and my absolute favorite. I saw in the early 80's that the area MX tracks were adding SX obstacles to the outdoor tracks and I hated it. Grass track - Euro style tracks need to come back to improve the sport. Another issue that I have with AMA Pro MX and SX is the lack of quality flagging on the jumps, Anderson crashed at Millville and Deagan the week before.

Another good show. I raced back in the 70's and that's when they started putting in double jumps. Fun at the time, but these big jumps have ruined motocross. Need to get back to more natural terrain tracks. Less jumping and more racing.
@EarthSurferUSA5 ай бұрын
Like the 2-stroke days. The EPA forced a faster 4-stroke engine on the industry,--so the tacks got faster, and the jumps got bigger. Put a faster engine in a race machine, and the tracks get faster. The EPA is responsible for any additional injuries and deaths, and the cost of doing business (buy a bike and race) heavily damaging market share. Outside intervention like that has destroyed industries. It is called communism.

He addresses so many important issues just in these few minutes. I was never any top pro rider, despite my efforts….but I finally got to the point, at 23 years old, when I was just so tired of getting injured. I parlayed my skills into other genres of riding and competing for fun until my late 30’s, then I was done with motorcycles altogether. Same reason: if you ride and try to push yourself, in any form of motorcycle competition, you WILL get injured. I got out with a wrecked spine, wrist and knee, but I can still walk and function decently. I have three boys and not one of them have ever even ridden a motorcycle. I just couldn’t go through seeing them repeatedly injured. I don’t know how my dad did it….i don’t think he really knew.

the toilet allegory was highly insightful! funny too. I've adopted ryan's body positioning for mountain biking, and it translates quite well (except for the toes thing, as you need more support underfoot on platform pedals when hitting rough stuff - the rotation of the pedal around the pedal spindle does accomplish the same thing as the 'riding on your toes' thing, methinks)

It did not get removed from the schedule. The owner refused to let the FIM/AMA (the FIM owns the AMA), force him to make the track the way they want, not have the vendors the owners want,--basically letting the FIM control every dollar that goes through the place. That is not freedom with us enjoying our own free enterprise. That is communism. Ryno does not understand that and not enough do. I do.

He is a thinker for sure. But it is our ability to "reason" and figure out reality that figures out problems and for our best direction in life. I see Ryno, (and I dig the guy) thinks with some mysticism to explain stuff that i think he is sharp enough to figure out in reality. Mysticism keeps us from thinking. But the guy has morals, and he has heart, and his brain works well when he is thinking. He did not push his bike to that win though. He got passed there. But it was a show of heart that is pretty rare,--and that is what made us bigger fans IMO. :)

@EarthSurferUSA5 ай бұрын
I got old and back into riding. Your story is like the boots I bought, so stiff i could not feel the brake or shiftier. Pretty sure I will crash more if I can't feel the controls. So I went with a pair of taller adventure boots, that are as good as what I used to race in back in the 80's/90's. It looks like it may be more dangerous in some cases, to be so baby sitter safety oriented.

They're developing little bypass roads so riders can avoid them entirely. Track prep has gotten to where every corner has massive, endless ruts. It's not fun for a vast majority of the riders. So they're staying home. Very expensive + no fun = stay home. I see it happening. Track owners are suffering.

The tracks have become FIM cookie cutter also, (especially SX tracks), so a lot of riders pretty much have them wired. They said, "close racing is better racing", but I don't see it in the number of passes. I don't care to see 10 guys on the same second for a fast lap, when I know our actual talent is not really that close, (unless they all have the track wired), and it also tends to ruin the confidence of the most talented. I would rather watch the separation of talent in a hill climb event.
@christophervillarreal85654 ай бұрын
Jumps are fun but they need to be built logically and cater to the market which is 95% beginners kids and vets where as 5% or AB guys and if your first time on a track is encountering 120ft supercross triples it shuts down the brain and desire to overcome that ridiculous learning curve.
