Are there any motocrossers on this forum??? I used to ride until some injuries set me back. I work for a track now, and I do journalism for motocross.com and some magazines such as Cycle USA. Any motocrossers on here make a post.

I used to ride a F&S Suzuki RM 125. 2003. F&S Built the motor. It was a great bike. Rode it for 2 years until I got hurt last August. Broke my ribs, bruised my lung, and was knocked out for close to 20 mins. So now my parents dont let me ride anymore. I get through it though.

It ruts up, but not real deep or anything. It gets EXTREMELY rough. Braking bumps everywhere, whoops out on every straight away, kickers all over. It's gnarly. I flag on the big step-up called "Superbob." It's the first big step-up you see in the pics. Getting over the step-up isn't hard... getting over the double before it is the big problem for most guys. Where are you from? You should come here and check it out.
