The way Hughes talks in so direct and passionate so its hard to not believe what he says plus if you have ever ridden you can understand where he's coming from
Brother you nailed it again. Unadilla was my old stompin grounds and my absolute favorite. I saw in the early 80's that the area MX tracks were adding SX obstacles to the outdoor tracks and I hated it. Grass track - Euro style tracks need to come back to improve the sport. Another issue that I have with AMA Pro MX and SX is the lack of quality flagging on the jumps, Anderson crashed at Millville and Deagan the week before.
Another good show. I raced back in the 70's and that's when they started putting in double jumps. Fun at the time, but these big jumps have ruined motocross. Need to get back to more natural terrain tracks. Less jumping and more racing.
Like the 2-stroke days. The EPA forced a faster 4-stroke engine on the industry,--so the tacks got faster, and the jumps got bigger. Put a faster engine in a race machine, and the tracks get faster. The EPA is responsible for any additional injuries and deaths, and the cost of doing business (buy a bike and race) heavily damaging market share. Outside intervention like that has destroyed industries. It is called communism.
Amen! I too am an old fart that’s a 70’s - 80’s racer. I watch David Bailey & Danny “Magoo” Chandler end up in a wheelchair because of the big jumps. More natural terrain tracks will improve the sport participation and prevent injuries.
I completely agree, I'm 47. The tracks around where I live look like supercross tracks. When I come to something really steep or big. I let the kids do it, I have nothing to prove to anyone.
Dude I’m 36 and couldn’t agree more I love hitting the hundred footer at my track but they’re starting to get carried away to the point I won’t do it unless it’s perfect conditions. The market is 95% beginner vet and kids why would they cater tracks to the 5% it’s completely ass backwards
Great idea on the track! I would love to see a national on grass over hilly terrain with sweepers and maybe a few drops. It would be something different instead of trying to make outdoors tracks like supercross tracks.
Totally agree tracks are so rutted these days you cannot cut to the inside or have individual lines like jmb used to, makes me sad because that was the fun of it all for me ! ( fairliegh castle in the uk is a perfect example of an old school mx track that isn’t dangerous but the racing is brilliant )
Rump You hit the nail on the head every time. Was a fan ever since I saw you pushing a bike to win. But I’m a bigger fan of what you are doing and saying now. Thanks for doing it.
We have a group in the Midwest called ODMC where we just have fun and ride random races and random ride days at places to simply just have fun, and laugh about past experiences and memories. It’s great. It gives us older guys a way to still ride and enjoy the sport at our older slower pace.
He addresses so many important issues just in these few minutes. I was never any top pro rider, despite my efforts….but I finally got to the point, at 23 years old, when I was just so tired of getting injured. I parlayed my skills into other genres of riding and competing for fun until my late 30’s, then I was done with motorcycles altogether. Same reason: if you ride and try to push yourself, in any form of motorcycle competition, you WILL get injured. I got out with a wrecked spine, wrist and knee, but I can still walk and function decently. I have three boys and not one of them have ever even ridden a motorcycle. I just couldn’t go through seeing them repeatedly injured. I don’t know how my dad did it….i don’t think he really knew.
@@robertrishel3685 I still ride … I’ll be 67 in a couple weeks. I have a rough scrambles track on my five acres. Only one small jump… maybe 3’ ft of air. There are bold riders & old riders, but no old bold riders!
When Ryno talks techniques I listen and apply. Ive told ppl what he says about some things and they scoff at me, then I tell em the info came from Ryno and they dont know how to respond lol.... I grew up watchin him ride on vhs tapes that my dads buddy taped for us. I always thought he looked different from the other riders of the day. Makes sense now when he explains things for us!!
the toilet allegory was highly insightful! funny too. I've adopted ryan's body positioning for mountain biking, and it translates quite well (except for the toes thing, as you need more support underfoot on platform pedals when hitting rough stuff - the rotation of the pedal around the pedal spindle does accomplish the same thing as the 'riding on your toes' thing, methinks)
I would love to hear Ryno's take on what's going on between AMA Pro Racing and the owner of Glen Helen. And why/how he thinks the Glen Helen national got removed from the schedule.
It did not get removed from the schedule. The owner refused to let the FIM/AMA (the FIM owns the AMA), force him to make the track the way they want, not have the vendors the owners want,--basically letting the FIM control every dollar that goes through the place. That is not freedom with us enjoying our own free enterprise. That is communism. Ryno does not understand that and not enough do. I do.
I wore a neck brace when I was like 12 cuz my dad wanted me to. I crashed once and the spine bar thing jabbed into my spine and actually hurt my back (temporarily) and I never wore the dumbass thing again. Not to mention even back then it annoyed the crap out of me that I couldn’t lift my head up high enough. Neck braces are a joker
I got old and back into riding. Your story is like the boots I bought, so stiff i could not feel the brake or shiftier. Pretty sure I will crash more if I can't feel the controls. So I went with a pair of taller adventure boots, that are as good as what I used to race in back in the 80's/90's. It looks like it may be more dangerous in some cases, to be so baby sitter safety oriented.
Ryno You hit the nail on the head every time. Was a fan ever since I saw you pushing a bike to win. But I’m a bigger fan of what you are doing and saying now. Thanks for doing it.
He is a thinker for sure. But it is our ability to "reason" and figure out reality that figures out problems and for our best direction in life. I see Ryno, (and I dig the guy) thinks with some mysticism to explain stuff that i think he is sharp enough to figure out in reality. Mysticism keeps us from thinking. But the guy has morals, and he has heart, and his brain works well when he is thinking. He did not push his bike to that win though. He got passed there. But it was a show of heart that is pretty rare,--and that is what made us bigger fans IMO. :)
I don't even feel safe doing a sight lap anymore. My local track has blind jumps that that drop-off so steep and deep you can get f***ed up even rolling'em. They're developing little bypass roads so riders can avoid them entirely. Track prep has gotten to where every corner has massive, endless ruts. It's not fun for a vast majority of the riders. So they're staying home. Very expensive + no fun = stay home. I see it happening. Track owners are suffering.
I didn't know Ryno had a webcast. Ahh, I just remembered the DMXS................those were the days. A bloke rode my bike once and was used to 250 four smokers and 250 2 smokers, first ride he tore my radiator shroud sticker off, (it is stuck to my truck still to this day) he says 'you don't hug the tank with your legs' I said 'Dude, this is a 125 it is like a dance'.
When athletes retire after a while, their minds and ego want to come back and compete, but you have to watch that your mind doesn't write checks that your body can't cash.
The tracks have become FIM cookie cutter also, (especially SX tracks), so a lot of riders pretty much have them wired. They said, "close racing is better racing", but I don't see it in the number of passes. I don't care to see 10 guys on the same second for a fast lap, when I know our actual talent is not really that close, (unless they all have the track wired), and it also tends to ruin the confidence of the most talented. I would rather watch the separation of talent in a hill climb event.
Jumps are fun but they need to be built logically and cater to the market which is 95% beginners kids and vets where as 5% or AB guys and if your first time on a track is encountering 120ft supercross triples it shuts down the brain and desire to overcome that ridiculous learning curve.
It is moral to make money by selling good products and/or services. It is immoral to rip people off. It is not the money that makes it right or wrong. It is if we do honest business or not, that makes it right or wrong. You do good business with anybody, (who is not a thief), and you become civil and prosperous. We don't have to live in poverty. We have a moral choice that brings mankind out of the dirt.
"I raced in 72, at 16 was a pro, rode 250 and 400 Maicos, quit at 17 1/2. Got 1st in most classes in my first race. Now, at 68, I regret leaving this sport! You understand retirement!

Summer is different... In the 70's, global CO2 was 350ppm, now it's 424 ppm, increasing 2.2 ppm per year... 10 Years from now global CO2 will be 446 ppm unless humanity stops burning 6,000 Olympic sized swimming pools of fossil fuels per day. It's a closed ecosystem.

I'm with him on track design. Less jumps more rough straights and corners

Totally agree, motocross is now like outdoor supercross.
Jep, moved to more cross country.
Problem here, nowadays the bikes are so fast on that kinda tracks, scary sometimes...
thank you ryan, i don’t race motorcycles anymore, but i still take dumps ! very helpful!
Hips OUT!
