Me too…but this is motocross that could be tire road rash, roost, and Monster Energy podium off-camera gratitude for hosting a killer site.  Fan appreciation for Jettson donuts post race show?  I didnt see anything i was paying attention to the man, the legend, and the info.  
 

I am worldly but I get a little disappointed sometimes if someone from another country gets a ride over a top amateur if they work so hard to be the best here.  What more do they have to do? They say mx/sx is the best in the world to appeal to the world and maybe truly make it the best by drawing talent from all over but I think Americans should get some preference first if they doninate like they can.  It started out bringing guys over from europe and i enjoy the diversity like the estonia dude doing well but these kids ride their whole lives for a shot.  No one should hate or be anti other countries but i can see how RJ or Forkner could get taken out by a Lawrence who are racing for their lives with no shame and return the favor.  For most racers its not about food but joy of riding or pressure sometimes like if the family is poor to support them….swoll gave his am money to his mom.  Jett has a Ferrari and i wonder how Hunter holds his money if it was about food for the family at one point.
 

I am not gonna name names but a few riders are past their prime and got too many chances.  They say you are only as good as your last race and it’s easy to get injured but if you can’t stay off the ground i dont know how you keep a contract or get an extension…the work with speed idea must be true or when they announce name and where from for local fans.  I liked a video about personalities of the sport and everyone can’t be #1 but it’s fun to have certain riders come back like Stewart who could have quit on us to go fishing.  And his brother not to give up and bless us with announcing and some industry contribution.

i didnt even know who bevo was but he gave me my first ever fist pump like i was already his buddy and he wasnt selling me anything and i read an article about how much he means to other people too so it’s not just the racers.  Wierdemen said hi on his way out if the hotel after a win so don’t forget the team.  I also liked the interview with Darren who said moto is maybe a 10 year career and then you got your family still so don’t disconnect just over a contract.  RC’s mom only missed 1 race when i wouldn’t get caught dead with my mom as a teen so this is a special sport in that way.  I finished my career as a novice so it shows family support matters as much as the factory.  The sport can be tough though like what do you do after or if you lose a ride.  I say keep riding or dont burn bridges.  Milsaps had a tough time but supposedly reunited and came back to train and even riders who say they give up can’t quit like Ryno.
 

Switching teams sounds bad like getting traded but a new bike and supports can make it more fun.  If its more money and horsepower even better.  Every team should be like the new Yamaha idea so still surprised Honda came out on top this year.  For any team or family too tough love idea just doesn’t work instead of relaxed and fun which is the lawrence strategy.  I dont hold it against Sexton or Cooper for being all business to take care of though at the track if that’s their personality.  Mitch somehow knows how to take more shy riders especially international and unleash their Monster Energy so the team and coach matters.  Baker’s boot camp idea lost popularity for some like Anderson but i can see how Stew likes the structure and challenge motivation with his strength/potential. Lots of approaches to make the riders and teams happy win or suppoisedly lose.
