I race for the BBR Monster Energy Team. It is fun and they are an awesome team. Mx is one of the most demanding sports there is and anyone who doesn't agree has never rode!!
Motocross is pretty darn demanding but I've had many Pro MXers ask me how in the world am I able to ride an 80-100 mile enduro and still walk the next day!!
Both are gruelling in their own right for sure.
I like motocross when I was a kid but I'm way too old to be flying over those crazy triple jumps. They didn't lay the courses out in such a manner in my day.
I like the enduros for the fact that you usually never see the same trail twice. It's like going out on a really long trail ride but at a race pace.

I've got a Polaris Sportsman 500 and a 08 YZ450F that I've decked out for ice racing. Riding on the ice is incredible. The traction is insane and the lean angles are stupid.

Check these out...

Here is one of my klx650 that I ended up selling to a friend, high comp piston, shaved head, 3 angle valve job, port and polish, hot cams and a free flowing exhaust (re. no muffler). It was loud and fast.

Now were talking.. I had an 88 Quadzilla and a 93 Banshee. Used to drag every weekend in Olive Hill, KY on the 300ft dirt drags..

It was all fun and games till I crashed and blew my knee out. Sold'em to put a ring on my womens hand. Think about those quads everyday

Used to ride an 04 wr 250f and an 05 YFZ450. Now I've settled for mud, beer, and music, so the Rhino and Grizzly are all thats left.

Oh and capt.ron Cross Creek isn't in Waco, its in Paige, texas. I go there alot, though its not the same. landowners got into a dispute with the locals and now the trails are pretty much diminished now.

My favorite place to go is to Mud Buddys, good trails for dirt bikes as well as mud for atvs.

Been riding dirt bikes since 1970 when I spent all my summer earnings on a new Kawasaki 90, $325.oo
Have had a lot of bikes since then, quite a few Husqvarnas , now I have a 2004 KTM 300, great woods bike.

Ok I got the name of the place near Waco wrong. Cross Creek is not the place I'm thinking of. It's Crooked Creek just North east of Waco.

i currently ride a 06 yz450f in and around san antonio and cross creek is a great motocross track they have 3 or 4 now full tracks. I dont think they got in a dispute on the trails but they have to let cattle run on it for awhile to keep the ag exemption.
