Two Stokes of the Florida Motocross series

Great pics, all nice bikes!

TxTechRedRider I am very sorry for your troubles. I hope things are looking up for you. I am not a divorced dad, but I am very close to my nephews/nieces and I know how much that hurts when I can't do for them like I want so I can't imagine your frustration. Hang in there my brother of the smoke! Don't be afraid to ask for help, I have learned in my years of dirt biking that "most" dirt riders are good folks that will go out of their way to lend a hand to fellow riders.

Coop,
Thanks for the kind words. You are right, it can be tough when the funds just arent there.
We are currently saving our pennies (literally) and doing extra part-time jobs for the next 2t dirt bike.
Hopefully by the middle of September we will have one, just in time for some cooler riding weather.
In the mean time we have done some looking and discussing of bikes.
Thanks again.

Todd

Hi everyone
   I just wanted to share some observations. I started this post to show everyone that real people are racing two strokes. Well, to my surprise how many of them are out there. What you guys don't know is how many riders I've missed taking pics of maybe more than I've gotten. The other thing is when I've talked to the riders thier reasons for riding two strokes. Most did'nt know about the web site but had the same reasons we have been talking about for the last couple years. Maybe because of the economy many have complained of the cost of buying and maintaining a four stroke,and that the choice was stop racing or race a two stroke. But with the rule change of 250 to 250 the racers are flocking to the two stroke to be competitive and soon we will also. But the latest coments I've been hearing and hearing alot is the two stroke is more fun to race and the younger riders have been saying this. I think its a good sign for motocross and two strokes. The economy has hit us hard in Florida and our attendance at the races is way down and has me a little worried. I've talked to some of the parents that we started with and asked what happened to some of them and they say they could'nt aford to race anymore! Some of the ones hanging in are doing it with the help of the two stroke, and its helped us hang in there also.

I really appreciate this thread that you have developed. It is wonderful to see this happening in other parts of the country.

Would you mind if I used the photos from this thread, along with some of your comments for a feature article on the main TSM site?

Thank you!

 Also today Brinsley Dyess looked very fast on her 2005 YZ250. She chased one of the old time Pro but still very fast Brad kadau used to race at Saddleback. Brad races a new yz450f and Brinsley chased him all moto long!
