Who will win the ITP/Moose AMA ATV MX opener Sunday?
Let's hear your thoughts on who has the right stuff this weekend in California.
Will Wimmer win in SoCal like he did in 2008?
Can the KFX450R propel Wienen to a win?
Don't forget former Champs Doug Gust, John Natalie and Joe Byrd?
Who else has a shot? Lawson? Creamer?
Share your top 3 picks.
FOR EXAMPLE
1. Wienen
2. Wimmer
3. Natalie
Thanks gang.

RE: R.I.P - FMX rider Jeremy Lusk crashes bad
Sad news indeed.
I saw the video as well and there's no way a brace would have helped, as least that's my guess.
I actually saw another YouTube video of him crashing the same jump in the X Games (was that this past year?).
Zac Willet posted a release today about contributing 20% of his T-shirt/product sales would go to the AthleteRecoveryFund.
Since the tragic death of 2008 X Games Gold Medalist - Jeremy Lusk from a event in Costa Rica, the ZW47 Method Clothing line is participating in a charitable manner. 20% of all sales will be sent directly to ARF (AthleteRecoveryFund.com
"We are a rider's company and realize that the limits are being pushed to the edge further and further everyday, we as professional athletes should be recognize how gnarly moto really is - in any discipline. So we decided we should step up and help those who are at financial need because of an accident." says, Zac Willett.

RE: WHERE I CAN TAKE MY KID TO RACE A 50CC QUAD
You should be able to take him to the Grand National Cross Country events and the ATV MX Nationals.
WORCS and other national events have youth classes as well. Depending on his level of experience, though, you may want to investigate your local race series or district so he can get a taste of it before going to the national scene. Since you're from the San Diego area, go to District38 to search for an ATV race in your area. There are all sorts of club links and district e-mail contacts you can chat with about entering a youth ATV event.
The two major series for quads on the West Coast areITP/Yamaha QuadCross (MX) and WORCS (cross country, desert and MX).

Racing Contingency - have you ever?
How many of you race or have raced ATVs?
What series do you/have you competed in?
Have you ever taken part in a manufacturer's contingency program?
I am curious to see how many people actively participate in these things as a way to supplement their racing costs.
If you've ever wanted to read the fine print of something, I suggest you read the fine print of an ATV racing contingency program. The rules are interesting.

RE: CPSIA could spell trouble.
Prince, LOL, that's exactly what I told my wife (well sort of).
Anyway, here's a follow-up release from the CPSC, which grants a stay.
CPSC Grants One Year Stay of Testing and Certification Requirements for Certain Products
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission voted unanimously (2-0) to issue a one year stay of enforcement for certain testing and certification requirements for manufacturers and importers of regulated products, including products intended for children 12 years old and younger. These requirements are part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which added certification and testing requirements for all products subject to CPSC standards or bans.
Significant to makers of children's products, the vote by the Commission provides limited relief from the testing and certification requirements which go into effect on February 10, 2009 for new total lead content limits (600 ppm), phthalates limits for certain products (1000 ppm), and mandatory toy standards, among other things. Manufacturers and importers - large and small - of children's products will not need to test or certify to these new requirements, but will need to meet the lead and phthalates limits, mandatory toy standards and other requirements.
The decision by the Commission gives the staff more time to finalize four proposed rules which could relieve certain materials and products from lead testing and to issue more guidance on when testing is required and how it is to be conducted.
The stay will remain in effect until February 10, 2010, at which time a Commission vote will be taken to terminate the stay.
The stay does not apply to:
*Four requirements for third-party testing and certification of certain children's products subject to:
**The ban on lead in paint and other surface coatings effective for products made after December 21, 2008;
**The standards for full-size and non full-size cribs and pacifiers effective for products made after January 20, 2009;
**The ban on small parts effective for products made after February 15, 2009; and
**The limits on lead content of metal components of children's jewelry effective for products made after March 23, 2009.
*Certification requirements applicable to ATV's manufactured after April 13, 2009.
*Pre-CPSIA testing and certification requirements, including for: automatic residential garage door openers, bike helmets, candles with metal core wicks, lawnmowers, lighters, mattresses, and swimming pool slides; and
*Pool drain cover requirements of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act.
The stay of enforcement provides some temporary, limited relief to the crafters, children's garment manufacturers and toy makers who had been subject to the testing and certification required under the CPSIA. These businesses will not need to issue certificates based on testing of their products until additional decisions are issued by the Commission. However, all businesses, including, but not limited to, handmade toy and apparel makers, crafters and home-based small businesses, must still be sure that their products conform to all safety standards and similar requirements, including the lead and phthalates provisions of the CPSIA.
Handmade garment makers are cautioned to know whether the zippers, buttons and other fasteners they are using contain lead. Likewise, handmade toy manufacturers need to know whether their products, if using plastic or soft flexible vinyl, contain phthalates.
The stay of enforcement on testing and certification does not address thrift and second hand stores and small retailers because they are not required to test and certify products under the CPSIA. The products they sell, including those in inventory on February 10, 2009, must not contain more than 600 ppm lead in any accessible part. The Commission is aware that it is difficult to know whether a product meets the lead standard without testing and has issued guidance for these companies that can be found on our web site.
The Commission trusts that State Attorneys General will respect the Commission's judgment that it is necessary to stay certain testing and certification requirements and will focus their own enforcement efforts on other provisions of the law, e.g. the sale of recalled products.
Please visit the CPSC Web site at CPSC.gov/CPSIA for more information on all of the efforts being made to successfully implement the CPSIA.

RE: CPSIA could spell trouble.
UPDATE: Hey gang, it appears as though our off-road agencies need your help in voicing our concerns about the new CPSIA law. Read on and do your part - Mod
The National Off Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC) has forwarded this ALERT ACTION RELEASE from the Blue Ribbon Coalition (BRC). It's basically a way for you to ensure the new Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act - the new law set to start Feb. 10 - will help you contact your local legislation and tell them you oppose this ban and are asking for a more common-sense approach.
HELP STOP THE FEBRUARY 10TH BAN ON YOUTH OHVS
BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!
Attention BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
HELP STOP THE FEBRUARY 10TH BAN ON YOUTH OHVS
On February 10, 2009, a new law regulating lead content in certain products will go into effect. This could adversely affect companies that manufacture or distribute youth model all-terrain vehicles and off-highway motorcycles and parts and accessories for those vehicles . Dealers that sell and service those products would be impacted as well.
The Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) and the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) have urgently requested the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and federal legislators to take a common sense approach to implementation of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act's lead provisions.
SVIA and MIC have joined several of their member companies in filing petitions with the CPSC for emergency relief from the provisions. They are seeking a temporary final rule to exempt ATV and motorcycle components, parts and accessories in order to avoid major disruptions to enthusiasts, to the member companies' businesses, and to the companies' dealer network of thousands of small, independent businesses, which employ tens of thousands of Americans.
BRC is asking all OHV users to contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission and their elected officials today!
Use the following links to send your comments and to contact your Congressional Representatives.
Included below is a sample letter regarding the potential ban of all youth-oriented OHVs, which starts February 10, 2009.

Sample Letter:
As a member of the OHV community, I want to voice my strong support for petitions filed recently by the Motorcycle Industry Council and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America to seek emergency relief from provisions, which go into effect on February 10, 2009.
While I do support efforts by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect children from lead content in products that truly present a risk to children, I do not believe the Commission intended that metal parts on ATVs and motorcycles be included in that regulation because they do not present a lead risk to children.
As the spring OHV recreation season rapidly approaches, I ask you to support efforts to exclude youth-oriented OHVs - and the businesses that sell and service them - from being unnecessarily impacted by this ban, especially during this economic crisis.
Sincerely,
Your name &
Address

RE: Please tell us your favorite ATV.
True, but since I may use the results in ATV Sport magazine, you get why I want sport quad results. I'm cool with Utes, too. A good mix is better than nothing, eh?
BTW, I'd say 21, not 15.

RE: Help!! LOOKING FOR A EXHAUST ADVICE
There are so many choices for Raptor pipes. It's really going to come down to the money and overall results (hp and sound) you want. In addition, I'd say whatever company gives you a good feeling in your gut (when speaking with them and being cooperative and helpful) could make the difference. If you're a customer and treated nicely, that's great. If you're a number (that's not good).
I'm late to this thread, too, but I think Dubach (DRD) has been working with Yamaha for years testing machines and parts. DRD sells a Raptor exhaust as well as its own "mod box.".
Another company you could investigate is Rossier Engineering out of Wisconsin. Rossier has done work with the Power Commander and says it has its own custom maps to go with its pipe.
However, some of the other companies your buds have listed are proven, too.
Check out a Raptor forum, too, to see what other owners suggest.
