Re: Tony Alessi kept his cool! (and didn’t beat up Josh Grant)

What does Mike's age have to do with anything? Considering the amount of time, money and patience it takes to raise not one, but two professional caliber motocross racers, I'm sure any parent in that moment would've been heated and would feel the same way.

I know alessi wasn't on the ground when Josh hit him, I was just making a comparison. You say riders should always be ready to take a hit while racing, and trust me we are, especially when you're hurt you take even more precautions so that you don't get block-passed or hit in a turn.
The difference is we expect to get hit either by accident, or during a regular block pass if you open the door a little too much....we DON'T expect to get taken out on purpose, or T-Boned (like Grant did to Alessi) out of nowhere on purpose. You say Alessi should have been protecting himself from getting hit like that, which I'm sure he was, he just didn't expect Grant to torpedo him like he did.
I don't know about other riders, but when I was racing, I never thought of taking out an injured rider on purpose hoping it might end his career. When did good sportsmanship go out the window???

Looks like we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one :)

mike alessi was not hurt on the ground when josh grant hit him.....josh hit him when alessi was ON HIS BIKE. alessi should have been protecting himself from getting hit like that. ALL the riders should be ready to take a hit. take out moves are part of the sport just like tackles in football. If a football player doesn't want to get hit then what are they gonna do? change the rules so that theres no more tackling?

Yes Alessi should not have been on the track, Yes Josh Grant can take him out if he wants to, and Yes Josh Grant is an ass hole for deliberately taking out an injured rider. So I guess if a rider crashes and is hurt on the ground, then it's ok if Grant runs him over to finish him right? I mean he was on the track so he should expect to get it, right? Because that's pretty much what he did with Alessi, he tried to end his career in that turn...

Hence the word "Video Games"...also remember this is running on a *cell phone* and not an XBOX360 or PS3!

This game looks pretty cool, but the graphics seem pretty lame. I’m more into games that look very realistic. I like feeling like you’re actually there, feeling the jumps, all that. Games like this just feel like games to me.

cquackaz — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 02:21:23 -0000

If you don't want to get hit you shouldn't be on the track....if you think otherwise then maybe we should just stick one rider on the track at a time and just use a stopwatch to see who is the fastest....then we won't have anymore "incidents"

take out moves are just part of the sport and if you don't want to get hit then go play some baseball

Yeah what Grant did was totally uncalled for, considering the fact that he knew Alessi was already hurt pretty bad and that he could have ended his racing career right there in that corner. Now people will argue that Alessi shouldn't have been on the track to begin with, and I agree with that, but it doesn't make what Grant did any less f***ed up then it is!
I have to give Alessi props for trying to race in the first place though, even if it wasn't a smart decision. The kid's got heart.

i think josh grant had no rite doing that much worse could of happened to mike alessi if he wasnt able to get on the side lines of the track in time..and to deliberately take out an already injured rider is just f***ed up if you ask me

I agree, these races are fun, especially the ones out in the desert...those trucks go so fast through gnarly terrain and they look fabulous :)

I would sure hope people would remember to wear pants hehe. But anyway, I’m really excited about this! I wish I could have made it there. Man, these races are always so intense. And, lots of drama to go with it lol.

OMG iPhones have everything! I have yet to find something that an iPhone CAN’T do! I have yet to purchase an iPhone but can’t wait to switch companies and get one. That will be a day worth celebrating. I’ll get this for sure!

150ccatv — Sat, 15 May 2010 00:34:15 -0000

Okay, this is definitely something I’m going to have to get. I am completely and utterly obsessed with my iPhone, as I’m sure many of you reading this probably are as well. The games are just insane for the iPhone and I can’t imagine having anything else!

Not defending him, just stating it's pretty impressive for Tony to actually keep his cool for a change! Like I have anything to gain by kissing his a$$...thanks for the good laugh though :)

Good Stuff. Keep up the good work

Re: Quick Tip: Ride with 1 finger on the clutch and front brake

ronronmx — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 13:13:49 -0000

Good question Matthew!
It's a technique you have to work on by using the tip of your fingers to hold the throttle wide open, all while rotating your hand enough to allow your finger to reach the brake. First you want to make sure that you never accelerate with your wrist bent all the way down, because it weakens your grip as well as makes it difficult to position your finger on the brake. So make sure you grab your throttle with your wrist rotated forward so that it's in a comfortable position when you're wide open. This will make it much easier to position your finger on the brake.

Matthew — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 07:07:07 -0000

Hey Stephane,

How do you position your finger on the brake while still full throttle? Wouldn't you have to release the throttle still to shut it off? Or do you just brake with a massive over grip?

Re: How can you blitz a whoops section like a pro

ronronmx — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:14:34 -0000

Well please don't think that this tip will allow you to avoid accidents, a whoops section is one of the hardest obstacle you can ride on, never to be taken lightly!!! So be careful when riding whoops, and make sure you're comfortable enough before going wide open through them.

Re: Shift faster without using your clutch

ronronmx — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:11:27 -0000

Hahaha that's funny dacool85 :)
It is true that the faster you go, the less you need to use the clutch!
So you're my team manager on Mxonlinetournaments.com? I need to come race with you guys one of these days!!!
