I was wondering how you yanks feel about the curent state of motocross in the US. The population of Australia is 21,007,310 compared to the population of the US at 304,059,724 a diffrence of 283,052,414. A significant number to say the least. It seems like you yanks would take up more spots on the starting line then you currently are let alone more spots on the podium. I mean come-on at round 7 it was a freakin aussie sandwich with a new-mexican in the middle! With the numbers of Americans on the planet compared to the number of Aussies ther shouldn't even be an Aussie on the gate let alone dominating the US Outdoor Nationals! I mean really, does AMA Stand for Australian Motorcycle Association? Now I know there are going to be the haters out there that say RC and Stewart arn't racing the Nationals but neither are Emig, MC, Stanton, Hanna, bla bla bla... the truth is everyone gets old and slow and cant take it outdoors any more... I guess i think its cute how when it comes to motocross you yanks are second rate at best... ps any comments regarding the motocross of nations will not be admitted into this argument due to the fact, "everyone knows that race is fixed"

Now really, I am a Chad Reed fan, but Australia really turns out more badass rockers than they do MX racers.

wow...i didn't see that coming... aussies ruling the motocross world and the stage... "dirty deeds dun dirt cheap"

Ya but what's with that vegamite crap? Remember also, the land of kangaroo pouches did turn out men at work also " do you come from the land down under"

Dude a day without vegamite is like a day without sunshine and as far as men at work goes i got that on vinyl mate! yo paul did you race amatuer days at shougal this year?

So mate, enlighten us, what the hell is vegamite

No I didn't do amatuer days. I would have if they had it set up like the old days. I am doing Top Gun.

Vegemite "B the best you can B with Vegemite" Furthermore you can "Help your family stay bright and alert with a daily intake of essential B vitamins found in vegemite" As if that aint enough "Vegemite is "One of the worlds best known scources for Vitamin B" I pulled the jar out of the cubbard to get you these keen quotes. Vegemite is a spread for bread or toast,(I prefer it on toast) and pretty much all Aussies and Kiwis are raised on the stuff. It looks like chocolate but tastes like... actualy im not sure what to compare it to. I'll bring some to shougal next year for ya to try if your man enough...

Riding for Skaget Powersports, the sandbags are heavy but someone has to carry them.

Bad ass bill cameron is the shit! I gots a killer story about Mr. Bill Cameron from back in the day like 1993 ish Trials bikes and loaned helmets with interesting helmet lining... It's a "tell ya in person" story though cause if it got leaked on line he would ruin me, he's a hella cool cat though!

thats cool , well things things were going ok till the break in at our house, just starting to get back on track now. planning on heading down that way in late sept for some racing with the kid.misseed seeing alot of friends this year at the nationals. i think i was the only one who went out of the whole group of guys i hang with. you remmeber the cms police in our camp last year, funny shit!!! give me a call 425 903 0306

yea the good ol blue shirts... hahaha me and my daughter were talkin about that... so you were there this year? sorry i missed ya... we were there from pretty much tues to sunday at 2

yeah we were there but just saturday, arrived at about 630 am. with a guy i work with and my son. he had never been to a race like this before. so we waited for him to get his ticket and then went back down to will call for ours because they were not set up yet that early. and went back up to the track. the track was alot cooler for sure i thought, not near as many people, no lines. i loved how things started promptly at 815. breaks were only about 15 minutes at most. a good action packed day. yeah that was funny "the blue shirts". do you remmeber when those cms guys were flashing people in the eyes with there flashlights and i did that to one of them with my bright light. i know that guy couldnt see for awhile. payback is funny
