Don’t think I can ride like that for 25 mins, let alone at race pace…:wow:bowdown

Try 30 mins + 2 laps at a pro level track and 20 more riders at twice the pace!!!

I laugh at the pro sports like baseball, basketball, football, etc. When these big jacked up, tatoo’d, thug looking millionaires cry and take the game or week off over a sprained ankle. Now look at a pro mx/sx rider. 140-165lbs, physically fit not jacked, and endurance 50 times as good as “normal” pro athletes. No dumb hair doo’s, tatoos, or unprofessional image bullshit. 99% of the riders are very respectful. They get a hard tackle or a fall running after a ball on a field, and go sit on the bench and have their hand held by 10 trainers and sit out the next game or two. Tell that to a motocross guy.

Chad got back on, finished the race, ahead of 20+ riders that day actually. And race the next race too.

mx/sx owns all! 🙂

Football and baseball have to be the biggest jokes of a sport on the face of the earth. These people get paid millions to be fat and out of shape and actually do something for 10-15 minutes our of a 2 hour game.
