I do these podcasts with different mx people and love it. The old stories and the way you can get people to open up is amazing. Here's a link to the old ones that were on Racer X Canada, some good stuff here if you don't mind me saying.

This is the all time classic Youtube video, in fact it's this video that probably caused someone to start Youtube in the first place. Serious, I laugh EVERY time I see this. I feel bad for my wife sometimes...

You cannot understate the need to dance and work out your feelings on the dance floor. Or maybe if there is no floor available you just drive your VW out to a factory and have one of the most ridiculous movie sequences ever.

Perhaps the most inspiring training montage ever. What do you do when your manager dies, Clubber Lang beats you to a pulp and you lose your belt? You go back to the roots baby!

I used to love the Smurfs when I was little, like I had the little figures and stuff. Anyways, I remember that there was an episode that scared the shit out of me and I'd never forgotten it. The Smurfs almost became extinct! It made me very cautious around anyone that was purple and saying "Gnat, gnat". So I asked a bunch of people who claim they loved the Smurfs if they ever saw this episode and nobody had. I was beginning to think I was crazy and so were the people that I was asking. Luckily, I found the episode.

There's something to be said for a motocross fan to start their own blog and keep it updated constantly. I mean, you're basically doing it for your own enjoyment. The numbers viewed can't be very big but I think it's great these guys do it. These are regular, ticket buying people that have opinions and views just like I have, I'm just lucky to have somebody pay me to do it. I bet I'd be one of these guys if I didn't get paid. Check these out, there's good stuff in here!

There's a guy named OCScottie on Vitalmx who keeps these cool old mx videos on his Putfile site (whatever that means). Anyways, check it out-there's some classics on there.

Perhaps the greatest song ever, perhaps the greatest guitar solo ever. Behold Eddie and Sammy...

This is RXI's Jason Weigandt's old blog. He sold out to "The Man" and went huge and I started reading these before I knew him. I just knew we'd be buddies forever, it was the type of humor that I like and maybe that's why we get along so well. Read all of these if you're ever up and can't sleep.
