    Getting sponsors.

    I agree with all of this. You HAVE to sell yourself to businesses as well. Talk yourself up, brag a little bit. I recently had a job interview, it is a marketing job, and guess what came up? My racing history. The interviewer asked about my competitiveness and how that could translate into new...

    O.I.R. for rent ?

    Dust. Those people bitch about dust. And "those people" live on the other side of the woods. Sounds a lot like Beachwood huh? Some communities just aren't fond of us or our dirt bike shenanigans. It really is sad seeing this place not being used for motocross but all good things come to an end...

    Enclosed broken into

    Where and what bikes? I live in wadsworth, not too far away. I'll keep an eye out for bikes popping up. What is the deal with all this stuff? I don't quite understand. I live in a relatively safe neighborhood. I have had my car broken in to over a cup holder with. Handful of pennies in it the...

    Toe shoes nonetheless.

    Battle for Ohio recap

    Every time I've been to cliff I've never noticed quads. JO does a good job with that place and the track is wide enough to allow both on the track. The track looked good in those go pros too.

    Speaking of O.I.R.....

    I remember taking that last gate after watching Dave Jones blow everyone away on his kx125. That guy was always a blast to watch ride.

    Speaking of O.I.R.....

    Gotta love the old school videos. Probably used a vhs tape in the camera. Whoever did it deserves props. That took guts.

    Speaking of O.I.R.....

    I thought so. Might just have to make an appearance. I'll suck. But it'll be fun.

    Speaking of O.I.R.....

    I'd come out of retirement for an event like this. I know it's a little late in the season to request it but are there any tracks willing to try it again? I remember seeing something earlier this year about it. Not sure if the race has come and gone by now.

    Speaking of O.I.R.....

    Every father's day since I had started racing I spent at OIR with my dad. We always had a blast. I can't remember a time I didn't have fun there. Even on my worst days racing, it was still so fun. I think it was the atmosphere. Everyone was always just happy to be there. I was landed on at OIR...

    250/450 AMA age rule change

    Damn it George. Now the AMA has to make a revision. Seriously though, I didn't think about that. How will they handle that with the new 350s?

    Anybody have pictures? Always anxious to see new places to ride.

    250/450 AMA age rule change

    Not a bad idea. I think it will force more kids to ride the 125s. I just had a conversation with a gentleman at my work about this. I couldn't have imagined going from an 80 to a 250f. I remember shortly after getting my first 125 riding a friend's 250 2 stroke and thinking "what the hell is...

    So crazy to see this post. Best of luck to you guys. Thank you for all the years of being open and giving us a place to race and ride.

    No more mudders?

    I was at that race. I think I posted a picture of that a few months back. I have tons of pictures from that race in particular. That was one that stood out in my mind. Notice the pouring down rain. Jimmy and I raced tv land plenty of times in conditions similar. Those were the days. I remember...

    No more mudders?

    I agree. When was the last time Lorettas, a regional, a national, or a Supercross cancelled due to rain or the threat of poor weather? There are ways to save money as mentioned above. I always rocked the bright yellow rain suits at mud races. Yea, clean up sucks but I never blew up my bike. Lean...

    No more mudders?

    I hear factory Suzuki is looking for a rider. My daughter and I don't have room for anyone at this time so I'd like to respectfully decline. Try Suzuki though. I hear that Stewie guy couldn't hack it with them. You could also try the Star Racing Yamaha team, I hear Cooper Webb is moving up to...

    So.......What is the problem. Money????

    Can't win a marathon without putting some band aids on your nipples, sir John250. Oh, and about that bridge.. mud riding and suicide are slightly different. And I'm terrified of Heights. So probably not.
