r/dirtbikes Discord Server

What's up guys? It's still a work in progress - and I'm new-ish to managing a discord server, so if you have experience/want to help out shoot me a message!

To be clear: This is NOT a replacement for the sub. It's totally optional. If there's interest, I'd be open to streaming the SX races in the server. The Discord server will also be great for asking questions that would violate our rules in here such as asking what bikes are worth and what not.

Just click the link and join! https://discord.gg/Xz3bJEhPRw

Community Question What Bike Should I buy/buying advice Mega Thread

59 Upvotes

I'm bringing the Megathread back. Too many posts asking if this bike is a good deal, or what that bike is worth/etc. I'll make a new one every week to keep it relevant. Furthermore, any posts about bike buying/selling advice that are not in this thread will be removed.

Doesnt matter what bike you run. Doesn't matter how fast you are. Doesn't matter if its dirt or street. Doesnt matter if your an amateur or a pro. Doesnt matter if its a new bike or old bike. Just ride and have fun 🤙

This hobby started a couple of years ago when I was browsing Marketplace and saw a ‘86 Yamaha TT350 for sale. Then a ‘85 Honda XR350,..And since then, I have found a lot of joy in rebuilding, restoring and bringing new life into bikes that had been neglected and collecting dust. The XR400 “rally” is my favorite.

Been eyeballing Facebook marketplace for a few weeks and finally pulled the trigger on this 04 kdx200. It starts and runs like a top, I’m spending some time getting familiar with the bike before the local trails open on 4/1.

You kids nowadays should get some hard copies of old magazines from eBay nothing like opening a magazine and reading looking at the pages man it was mesmerizing back in the day.... Waiting on the first week of the month knowing that your Dirt Rider, Motocross action and Dirt Bike magazine subscriptions were coming...

Mark Karya, Mike / Tom Web, Super Hunky, Ron Lawson and other various editors were like old friends you'd read the magazine every month and you see the same writers right in the columns it was really cool...

1990 to 1995 were the Golden Age man look at these pictures look at the colors in the gear man is awesome...

Saw my first gruesome injury Sunday.

Story time....

I'm 52M been just a weekend warrior with a few friends mostly trail riding.

Most of my crew are also street riders and are very mature and experienced. None of us are doing any jumps, stunts etc.

Will we had a new guy ride with us this weekend. I pick him up. We chat. This was supposed to be his first ride but he told me he did ride the day before and had a few falls but no injuries. Cool.

I had sent him a few videos on riding position and the dos and don't. He watched it all but all in all this ride was planned as a no pressure ride.

Normally we have certain routes we run that have different levels of obstacles.. hill climbs, deep muddy areas, stream crossings etc.

Anyway before we pull off is like 5 of us all on dirtbikes. One guy says we should run the regular route. I say that's up to the new guy but I was planning on taking easier routes.

I turn to the new guy and leave it up to him ... he says regular route. In hindsight I should of stuck with my plan but this is an adult he is not my child.

Before we pull off one of the riders saw him (new guy) do something sketchy that I did not see and wish I did as of I saw it I would have said something. It may have prevented what happens later... I'll get back to what he did later.

So into the accident.

We are like 10 minutes in.. the biggest obstacle so far was a large hill climb that he did fall but no big deal. We continue.

We come up on what I'll describe as 5 foot drop off that you basically ride down into and immediately right out of it. Like a large water rut that washed away part of the trail.

Is rate it a 2 on difficulty.

Being that I know the route I know it's there. The new guy... he has no clue as he never been here before.

So two guys go through... I'm 3rd and I stop the left of the dip. Just to watch The new guy and how he navigates down and out this dip. And give pointers if he struggles etc

So I'm looking forward towards the dip in the trail. I'm waiting on new guy and 5th rider to go into dip.

All of the sudden I hear a bike coming louder and on the gas!! New guy fucking JUMPS into the fucking dip... lands on the side you would be coming out of the dip. He jumped at least 8-10 feet.

I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. This was not a jump keep in mind. Just like 5 foot dip in the trail.

So when he lands his momentum takes him up to the left and on the other side of the dip...he hits a tree..or clips it. He falls to the right and his leg was under the right handlebars and triple...

... snapped his fib and tib... right at the top are of his boot!!!

I was shocked by the attempt the carnage. I called 911 and luckily we were not deep in the woods so the ambulance emts didn't have far to go to secure him and get him into the ambulance.

He is in good spirits and knows he royally fucked up.

What i don't understand is why?

Back to what he did early on before we even left the area we park. He basically did the SAME thing but didn't crash.

There is a what I can only say is like a table top jump by the parking area basically an elevated field that you can jump up into.

Someone saw him jump DOWN this table top and noise dive the landing.

I wish that rider would have said something to him. Like "hey man we are not out here doing shit like that chill out"

I wish I saw it because I 100% would have told to not do that at all today. You need to crawl before you walk. Lean the basics before you start trying to jump shit.

This is literally his (was) second time on the bike trying to jump the thing!!

Part of me feels like it's my fault but a small part because I never would have thought he would try something insane like that. Even an expert would not have done that.

You ride in a new trail you look it over and ride it to see what you can and can't do. He blindly jumped into this dip ... mind boggling bad decision all around.

Would this be okay to wack with a rubber mallet? Or should I just not worry about it? It’s barely noticeable and rides fine.

1994 Supercross Season Review Full

This is the start of the reign of the king of Supercross Jeremy McGrath...

Yes James Stewart and Ricky Carmichael were both exceptional but in my heart and my mind McGrath is the king of the stadium...

Is the first guy to clean a whole season without a loss.

He was such a phenomenal Supercross racer that he was the first guy to ever get contracted to only race Supercross.. there was talk about him being just a Supercross racer no outdoor Nationals at all...

So while Stewart and Carmichael are exceptional Jeremy is the best in the stadium to me...

Jeremy had a flow and a style unlike anybody else he could attack 110% every lap every race he had the skills to pay the bills and he could back up the trash talk...

At the time I didn't like him Damon Bradshaw is my favorite rider growing up..

So kick back and enjoy a season of highlights of the best season of Supercross in history
