here's my 2 cents, if we want to get to the route of the fix we have got to start hammering the youngsters. its already known that the 85 class is the most important class of future generation mx riders. it develops skill, speed, lightens fear, builds confidence etc...... and its known that the 150f fad BOMBED hard!!!!!!! the 85 is the transition machine to the big bikes. its that transition that is going ALL WRONG. we need to be fighting for reinstatement of the 125 class pro and local levels across the state. 1 huge problem they have been recognizing at least in the nor cal area is there are way to many f-ing classes at the races and people are starting to not race because the days take way to long, not enough laps and not enough riders in the classes. we need to abolish all these BS classes like schoolboy, 250 open, a, b, c, beg, stock, mod, some allow 2t some dont so they add a 2t only class bla bla bla etc..... its a joke. we need to have 125 classes and then a 250 open for the suckers. we need to convince the parents that the proper transition to the big bikes is the 125. the way it used to be, the right way. its like these kids cant wait to be like bam bam one day or there favorite lites rider. all they want to do bang that 250 on the rev limiter and muscle there way around the track forgetting everything they learned about corner speed and technique on the 85. i have seen it, im watching it happen with my friends kids. i have finally convinced 2 buddies to transition there sons to 125's and they are doing awesome!!!!! but it falls back to the classes are not fair and these little guys are no where ready to ride a 250 2t. if we fixed this transitional problem with the youth riders could you imagine the way of dirt bike sales? but then again i guess honda, and suz dont care because they gave up a ton of money by stopping there production of the 85. watch any 85 race an its a sea of blue out there.

Oh no,that must mean I won't get to see the 2014 YZ's until at least 2018.I think I'm just going to go back to bed and check back in six weeks to see if things look better then.
but he just came up short. he was 40th but they took 36 so he had to ride the lcq or consilation race where the top 4 make the mains. he was like 6 or 7th in that race and was gaining but its only 3 laps and he had a shity start from what i saw in person. imo if he would of had a little better start he would have been in or 1-2 more laps he would have made it as he was gaining on the leaders avery second. he rode ggreat and im stoked for him!!!!!!
