The guy doing the yelling is the "minder", basically he is the coach. His job is to make sure the rider is in the correct position, placement of tire, etc.
Yep would drive me completely off the edge too. Also I believe at the world round level of competition those riders definately should be good enough to know where their rear tire is.
I could be dense (well more likely than not) but this kinda confuses me about built up air in the forks.
If the fork tube is a sealed system than theoretically the amount of oil and air within the chamber(s) should not change.
All I can think of is that air bubbles may become trapped in the oil through vigorous use, and would need to allow to rise up out of the oil.
or possibly the warmer the tubes the more the air pressure inside the tube, but I would think that it would take a rather large temperature change to cause significant amount of pressure.
Are the fork seals not perfectly sealed and that is where the air enters?
banning people and locking deleting topics ? not a forum really at all, off topic off center ? moderator ? perhaps we should just ask what were supposed to say
Could you translate that into something meaningful or have you just surfaced after 3 months to have a dig?
Are you hinting that someone may have returned from filming a major stunt in a major film in (insert country of your choice) and has not had time to be online and make a response to things said to him?
Zippy, you hilbilly! Is that my old 305 Scrambler in your avitar?
I are a cheap redneck yessir
Nope no scrambler, that there is a 1968 Sears Puch 250 2 stroke with 2 pistons and 1 combustion chamber. It's a pretty neat bike. but not running at this time.
Ps... Zippy when you broke your ankle and i was driving your truck i was going to acutally peel off and take it to mexico but i soon realized how much of a p.o.s. it was and decided to stick with the orginal plan
Yea thanks, that's why I am stuck with the dang thing and can't get a new one.
I like to wrap the handle bar and the throttle tube with a layer of electral tape, dump a little gas in the grip and swish, swish slide it on. Grips never move after that.
This may be a bit extreme or totally irrelevent, but one of the pinch bolts for my front axle was broke off and seized in when I bought the bike. I tried the easy-out and broke the not-so-easy-out. Total disassembly of offending fork. Took lower fork tube to awesome welder guy. He cut out that section where the bolt was, filled in the chanel that was created when cutting out bolt and stuff. Re drilled and tapped the hole. I have had no problems since, works great. But I don't know if the yokes can be welded as the lower fork tube was. But maybe solution instead of buying a new yoke.
I gonna stick with my glasses, I tried contacts just couldn't get myself to shove something into my eye, and I have seen a video of a Lasek eye surgery. It was right up close to the eyeball I won't get too graphic but eeeeewwwwww a flap is sliced off the cornea and then the laser hits the area under it. The flap is just laid back over no stitching I think it heals back up.
As part of my yearly maintenence I clean and repack the dog bones, shock eyelets, and swing arm bearings. I should probably do the steering head but just too lazy I guess.
I was just sittin' here thinking earlier that it is pretty easy (once the fear is put aside) from a skill point of view to just pin the throttle and fly off the jump into the wild blue yonder. The really skillful part is landing without mangling yourself.

Barry-bike-tree this was one of those moments when you ask if those super grippy expensive pedals were worth it? 21 stitches in the back of my leg
We have a gentleman who is an excellent rider that sharpens his foot pegs to a point. This of course keeps his boots on the pegs REAL well. Unfortunately at a section that I was observing he went up a fairly steep hill with a log at the top that was hanging over the edge, nicely undercut. His foot came off the peg and the peg scraped upwards on his shin. The part where his boot was did not have any damage but he got a really nasty cut or two between the boot and his knee, I may be wrong but I believe it required stitches. He is a tough one though didn't say a word at the time and finished the event. My hat's off to him.
but of course those super grippy pedals and the sharp pegs are worth it, you just gotta remember how many times it kept your foot on so there was no dab and a lower score!!
I have come to a conclusion......... with my limited time on a MX bike (one time out) and watching many YouTube videos also lots of shows about "amazing things caught on tape".
Jumping and tricks are easy (relatively) but that landing has got to be the hardest thing to pull off.
oops this was suppose to be in "anything goes" sorry
balding, fat, mediocre rider. And yes getting older. have fun. 
Getting Old!

I am always amazed at how smooth the older guys ride, sometimes it is just poetry in motion.
