Re: Maybe pictures will get my point across...
so a bunch of dirty dirt bikes???? an if you can note the duct tape on several of the riders helmets in that picture........
Alright i agree with you to a point on this but i think that you are getting carried away, yes the street fighter is probably the worst looking machine of the phots posted, BUT how do you compare that to Nicky Hayden, Rickey Gadson and AMA motorcross.....?? that in my opinion is taking it a TAD too far, With the exception of about 5 riders in the US, the rest of us are struggling to get by, its hard to maintain a clean stunt piece, A nice jacket and a mint helmet when i have to count quarters just to buy ramon noodles.....I see your point totally, but most of us don't have the sponsors or the capita to keep beautiful bikes and still be able to afford hotels and gas for comps. Consider yourself fortunate enough to have big enouogh sponsors to keep your gear and bikes in good condition........but is really wearing a leather jacket and shorts that much more appealing than a protective mesh jacket and blue jeans????

Re: Maybe pictures will get my point across...
lol
im so over the drama kiddies.
maybe sometimes i dont put my internet web forum posts in the most tactful way.. lol.. but regardless i get so heated over this crap because at the end of the day this sport really is my biggest passion, and i see huge potential as a whole of it going in bigger, new, and different places...
it just gets really irritating sometimes when you feel like your fighting a losing battle because at the root of it all the majority of the people involved.. just dont care.

the outfit thing is simple... the jeans and tee's is a figure of speach. basically cause that is what we all are wearing most of the time.
the bikes and total overall appeal is the subject.

who's to say that nicky is any better of a motorcylce rider than whomever that guy in the pic is!? (borne i think right!?) lets see nickey hayden to a merk step!
so what nickey is a great rider, so is rickey, so is bubba... but so are many of the talented stunters out their busting their *** and getting little to nothing in return for their hard work!
just because stunters dont have the finacial support that those racers do doesnt mean we are not as talented as riders as they are. but it does mean that for us to get to their level we have a lot of hard work...
it also means that sometimes in order to get treated with respect by those potential finacial investors we need to do our best to at least TRY to look on par with those riders that are at that level!?
ugh.. nevermind its like kicking a dead horse with you guys.. u just dont get it..
**** it. we are the cannon lady people!

what are you talking about, i see a handbrake.....
as far as what kane is saying, i agree, stunters like kane, and warren jamez get more attention due to the fact of what they are doing on clean *** bikes, as dum as it sounds, do you think that jason britton would be hosting junkies if he was on a ratty sf all the time. im just now getting into it, but i enjoy the look of watching someone do a lame slow circle on a clean bike then fast combos on a sh!tty bike.
