I can't recall how big the step up double was, that was cut out of the side of a hill, if memory serves, but it was big. We're sitting there taking a break from riding, and the guy heads out to the main track, and starts hauling ASS. Apparently a National Pro, rides the circuit, spends all winter down south, to be ready for the series, a regular at the Blackwater 100, I think. Donny was telling us about him as he was rolling in, and we spoke with him a bit, before he started to ride. Some guy showed up in a Chev Kodiak, completely done up, living in it, and 2 quads in it. oh that's right? It doesn't exist.ĭown in Georgia in 2000 with a buddy from Michigan, at Donny Banks track. Yes, it is my opinion that they are silly and have no place in moto and again you quad riders are on Vital MX not Vital QuadX talking up quads, you will never get anywhere with that. I just don't want them on the fucking track ruining the ruts when I pay money for a prepped track. I just texted the gay meme above to one of them I usually never see quad riders that I don't know because I don't got to practices or races where they are allowed. BTW the few friends I know that ride quads catch shit from me all the time. I just don't want them on the fucking track ruining it when I pay money for a prepped track that was designed for motorcycles to be ridden on it. As I said before, to each his own, I hold nothing against Quad riders and could care less if they exist or not.
Otherwise there would be a televised quad series with well known athletes backed by sponsorship money. No big deal.There isn't a National series because there aren't enough participants due to lack of interest. When I puss out on a triple or big jump I take it like a man and admit I'm a pussy for not doing it.
Before the PC police came along American boys would call their friends gay if they couldn't wouldn't do something the rest could. Motocross riders probably do that (call them gays) because most guys got started on quads because they were afraid to ride a two wheeler when they were kids.I know several friends that did this, they tried to ride a dirt bike and were terrified, then they moved to the easier to ride quad.Therefore in our eyes they were pussies or gay. In fact, the general public likens quad riders to beer swilling forest trashing rednecks(not gays). Which it must be lacking as evidenced by the fact that not many people are into it or follow it. Household name? The purpose of that example is to show that for something to be wildly popular and have well known heroes it must be relatively fun and exciting to do and watch. Inferiority complex? That's an interesting take lol. But quads are some seriously dangerous shit imo and a trail bike is just way safer. I know talking MX quads isn't the same thing but the general public views quads as 'safe' because they kind of look like cars where-as a motorcycle might fall over. She is now fine and that was the first and last time those farming quads were ever ridden by them.
I mean nothing left of this knee except a shattered skin bag of bones. My stepmom rolled hers about 20 minutes into her first ride and pulverized her knee and hit her head square on a rock. I BEGGED and got my stepmom to buy a helmet on the grounds that the dust from Dad's quad in front of her wouldn't get in her eyes, my Dad refused. They also didn't want to buy helmets cause they viewed their large quads as sort of like cars that didn't need them. They bought a pair of V2 4x4 800# quads and added every accessory to them adding another 150#. Well after I begged them to buy low seat height trail bikes instead. I begged them to buy very lightweight simple quads and of course wear helmets. My parents who have ZERO motorcycle/ quad experience and are in their 60s decided they wanted to buy quads a few years back. It's pretty macho really to risk life and limb like that. Frankly it looks way more sketchy than riding a dirt bike. I'd also like to add that I don't think riding quads is "gay" as so many like to say.
