    Buddy, it's 5 am here and I've only had one cup of coffee. You need to put a warning up before just dropping a picture of bruised man ass.

    Running is terrible for your body. It destroys all of your joints. Get in a pool and swim. Add collagen rich foods to your diet or at least a supplement from a reputable company(Thorne is one).

    Past Glory I still have several AVON calendars from the 90's

    Shorts seem to dominating now. Makes sense considering how short attention spans have become.

    SuddenBraking Spit on that thing

    I think I’ve watched two of your crash videos now (this and at Barber), and your sound effects are the best :crackup:

    Also, that track looks fun AF for some after work buffoonery.

    Ouch! I just dropped from a 13T front sprocket to a 12T, the night before last. Did about a minute test and loaded the bike. MF’n 125 is a wheelie monster now. Eye opening for sure. However it was great for popping over logs,roots etc yesterday. It made me rethink my desire for a yz250 2T……….but only briefly. Still want one eventually :D

    I’ve got leatt 5.0 under shorts. Has mostly hip/side thigh padding. There is a small tail bone area pad. They’ve worked well in all my countless crashes flat tracking/mini home course etc., but doubt it would matter with any real speed or height motocross crashes.

    fell on my tailbone last Friday (snowboarding).

    decided to jump on a trampoline yesterday. did a butt-slam. yay me. butthurt again.

    my recommendation: don't do anything that will land you on your butt.

    On the way back from Roebling last weekend, riding shotgun, we hit a pretty good bump on the interstate and I felt my tailbone give a soft pop and squish like jello. What a stupid way to irritate the injury, just slouching on a heard seat, checking my emails.

    Wound up going with the Leatt 5.0 shorts and got myself a proper pair of riding pants and a jersey. The weather has warmed up, the dirt is dry, and I got to try it all out on the dirty bike this afternoon. Two thumbs up.
