motocross or racing in general is an awesome family sport. I bet we know alot of the same purple. Greg cole, Mark Barnett just to name a few. Barnett was the first guy to get a million dollar contract from fox in the eightees. I grew up with these guys. Greg builds the tracks for most of the pros and he is a oldschool racer.. your grandpas era ate nails and drank oil.. Hard mofos

idk man i quit racing at 14 and started riding trials, having it shoved down my throat took out the fun
my grandpa opened the first suzuki shop in east TN a long time ago , dad and uncle rode forever
dad still rides ahrma for run

ive met a few guys but just from being around my grandpa(from all eras),brad lacky, mike brown, diamond don, wardy, randy hawkens(se&tra/dakar guy),david knight, but mostly trials and trails ppl

So I guess I need to chime in here since it seems like this is the 30 and over thread Cool

So, as much as I believe that age means nothing, after a seven hour sesh on the cable at Wakenation (Only taking breaks to rehydrate and maybe eat something) I am feeling it the next morning......

But, I will say, even at 30 years old, there is nothing that will stop me from being the first one on the cable the next day Birthday

I love wakeskating wayyyy too much

I'm 28 have a my 3rd kid on the the way.... I sometimes feel old but luckily i have a job that keeps me in shape and I still Wakeskate, Ride Moto and Surf on a consistant basis.

Just to jump into the moto conversation real quik. Getting back into racing has been the best thing for my family. We all love to go to the races and my oldest son LOVES racing right now. KTM #729 Look for him at Anaheim 1 in 2022......... Cool

I'm 38 and love skating! (not very good) but love to get a set everyday I can. My 14 year old daughter gets tired of driving to boat pulling me!.. Imagine that problem at 14!...
