The one where Metzger says, "5th gear tapped, you can't lose" ? That was a HUGE step up. I have that video in the VHS archive somewhere.

I actually went riding where that step up was.It was an illegal spot called Cotton Wood in Murietta.It was all beat up but it was pretty unreal how big it was.

Funny you say that because that huge step up is in Steel Roots.There is actually two step ups in that same part of the video.Those two jumps were about 100 yards apart and both were pretty huge.

I guess I missed the first race. Are they on Speed now?

I'm still pissed about them trying to kill off the two strokes.

I am with you on the two stroke deal. They just sound so kick ass and they are fun as hell.

Yeah the races started last saturday but check out this weekends race on speed. It should be a war between Reedy & Bubbles!!

Thats the one! He says "McGrath said he would not do it so.... 5th gear tapped, cant loose" I love it.... I was into dirt bikes alot back then and we would watch those videos and go ride.....

He got hurt really bad (his back I think). Now he builds Hot Rods with his dad in Apple Valley, Ca. I saw something about it on Fuel TV. Yeah Cinq was definitely one of the originals. I remember the LBZ Chrome videos around '97 or '98 when he was just starting to blow up, then things got crazy with him and Seth Enslow jumping his house and tour busses and whatever else they could put a ramp in front of.

That's really cool that he's into cars.

That crash was all bubba.When he came out of the corner he moved over to block chad and did not have the corner speed that chad had. Until james learns he has 20 laps to get out front. He will always be in the middle of these crashes. Thats why he never had much sucess against RC. He needs to learns a win is the same weather he does it from the first lap or the last last lap it still a win. He thinks he has to win by a huge margin.Thats been his problem his whole career. You dont have to win every race to win the champion ship. Just run up front every night which he can do.

Yeah I agree Bubbles can get the best of himself but what really does it for me is his incredible speed. Riding on the ragged edge when he dont really have to. Hes kinda always been the type of rider that just kills it for twenty laps and sometimes he just over kills it. lol
Last years season opener was awesome just because of the fact he went down in the first turn pileup,was dead last and killed it for twenty laps and wound up in second.

I hope some of these other guys step it up and run hard, I just wanna see some good battles not one dude just dominating every week.
