How come you never made it in pro motocross? Did you "throw it away" somehow? Share your story.

Ryan Dungey. If he just would have stayed with One Industries, he could have been successful. What a wasteTongue

RV. If he would have trained later in the day when the track was rough, and maybe did a couple of pre-season warm-up races, he would still have his coccyx.

Great...another positive thread on Vital to thrash people.

I got a great idea. How about we start a thread to list riders that should just kill themselves...keep the positive Vital vibe going here.Angry

Pretty sure he's referring to Ben Stein. The guy threw it all away after Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I mean he tried to make a come back with the Clear Eyes commercials, but they just didn't pan out. Now he's just dabbling in politics. Threw it all away.

are we talking about kids throwing their gear away after a weekend at LL's or amateur kids expected to do big things and just not cutting it?

i'd say JLaw, love him or hate him, did it his way and won a championship. he still did something that only a couple guys (RV, KR) has ever done before... and that's beat RD straight up for a championship.

I remember a story that Pastrana told about shitting his pants during a moto and he came out of the rig after he changed and threw his pants out and some dude ran over and snagged them from the trash.

I chose sex and drugs and rock&roll in my youth. Really fun at the time but I do regret it now....but I'll just put that on a really big pile of other regrets. I did get my shit together from mid 40's to mid 50's and had a good second run. Economics just aren't good at the present so I'm prepping for the "masters" class.
