What I am pointing out is that I KNOW that there are OTHER people that agree with my point. They are just not saying anything for fear of being looked down upon by their fellow riders and friends. I guess it is not that I am questioning what you are saying. I am just surprised that you are validating my point.

Thanks for fighting the good fight with me dawg...

I have said this before and I will say it again Mrs. Ruck, I am very grateful for everything that the TORO staff does. I know that y'all work harder than anyone of us "outsiders" could possibly imagine. You spend your time so that we can have a great weekend of fun and test ourselves against our fellow man. Thank you again.

Again this is not supercross and your attempt to change the subject is pretty weak. You voiced your opinion, however flawed, and realized you screwed up (I hope) and proceeded to lash out at everyone in sight to try and cover that fact up. You keep compounding your lack of judgement and poor choices by making ever more wild, unfounded, accusations. You have already shown yourself a fool, why don't you quit proving it with every subsequent post?

Can we say beating a dead horse.
Just a thought but wouldnt the complaints about the jump being out would have been better said saturday. the Toro staff did the best with the info they had available at the time. Like penguin said the race is over. Let's move on. Wow looks like great weather again for next weekends race in Poolville.
Oh, Joanna didn't you think you could go faster with air in your tires..
Wait, was that a new skill level you were trying.
Great race by-the-way..

Precisely why I DON'T ride Supercross (among a million other reasons). You seem to have a hard time distinguishing between the two and there IS a difference. I don't roll jumps, I jump them, I just don't always clear them, nothing dangerous about that.


Well since you don't follow supercross, let me lay it out for you. A rider doubled a triple jump, that means there are three humps but he only jumped two of them. While another rider tripled the triple, meaning he jumped ALL of them, and then landed on the rider that doubled which caused the riders to both crash. It is not a matter of whether or not your wheels leave the air that makes it dangerous. What makes it dangerous is when a rider is riding up to a jump that is labeled no roll, other riders expect that he is doing so to JUMP the whole jump and do so with the required speed. Not simply allow his tires to come off the ground so that he can satisfactorily say he was not "rolling" the jump so it was ok for him to go over it. When you do your "baby jump" it is proably just as dangerous if not MORE dangerous than simply rolling. When you case a jump I imagine it is something like the practice lap video that was posted. You land and for a second are not entirely in control, or atleast less than normal. Which for a rider that is coming up with speed to do the entire jump could cause some serious complications. So I say again. If you are not jumping the entire jump PLEASE do not go over something labeled no role if you do not plan to jump the ENTIRE jump. If we are ever at the track together I would be more than happy to work with you, and anyone else, so that you can get over jumps in their entirety and help keep others safe while also improving your overall ability as a rider. FREE OF CHARGE. I have helped quite a few people get over jumps at events. Including some people that have posted on this post and/or the previous post that were AGAINST the pond jump.


Thanks for the lesson on supercross, I didn't know that. And since you're probably a 15 year old you'll be glad to know that I've been watching Supercross since before you were an itch in your Daddy's pants. I have no intention of jumping, and to prove MY point, I can point to many wins I've had in this series and others WITHOUT hitting a single jump...now, do you think it's possible to race Supercross and NOT be a jumper, really? The fact is, jumping is an important but not required skill to be a good cross country/enduro rider. Maybe it helps when you are an expert or pro but I can assure you sonny that in my class NOBODY is jumping and in fact, in my RACE there are few people jumping so your definition of rolling jumps may be AMA correct, but it's not the same in cross country.

And I pose no danger to you because if you're such a badass you're not in my race anyway and it doesn't matter anyway because you've already show that the first time the track changes you'll throw a fit and decide not to race so I think we're good DAAAAAWWWWWG!

I (and many others) think you'd be happier in another series. I spent today helping cut the new track at Tolar Mountain and it has NO jumps but many fantastic other things like hill climbs, rocks, mud, sand and some great views. You'll be very disapointed in the track but the other 500 people in the club will LOVE it...get ready for a tight, technical race at a fantastic new property.

SO dave you don't ride on practice days when everyone is riding on the same track? You must be a very good enduro rider indeed to not even take practice laps and still win. Kudos. Twostrokin that is hilarious by the way. I love those things. Hey junkman. Glad to see you are taking your own advice. Seems to me someone WITH a life wouldn't take the time to post on here for OTHER people to move on. Very selfless of you to take time out of yours to tell us what to do. Penguin... I'm glad that you are here to keep the post count up. Keep sweeping it under the rug.

I hope everyone has a safe weekend and good luck. With no jumps there shouldn't be ANY injuries and no blue lines that save anyone more than half a second or so. NO need for an advantage while racing.

By the way I am taking Dave's advice. I have no intention of outing the rider that got it taken out. If I ever come into contract with Ruck I will be sure to speak with him about my concerns. The post was in no way intended to OUT anyone. Just to hopefully get the officials to think twice.

Keep digging that hole, you'll need it to put the dead horse in. You're proving my point again. I guess you like being a pariah.

Hate to be the jackbooted thug that monitors the forum, but this subject is closed and buried, "again".

Lets move on to a new subject like the upcoming race at Poolville.
