^ Did you really think that Steinbrenner would allow his team to win the world series away from home? Especially knowing his team still has 2 more games left.

Bring the game to NY & win the series in a brand spanking new stadium, compliments of you & I (tax payers) and make serious money In the process.
Not only will Georgie be happy from ticket sales money, but his pal Bloomberg would also be happy with the revenue the city generates by winning the game at home.

What did I tell you.... Today I predicted a Yankee's win 4-2 and I was correct.

Dem, If I had a penny for the number of times I was correct........ I would still have a penny

The Phillies got their behinds whopped by the bronx bombers.

I think it's BS when a forum member goes out of his way to make fun of another forum member. I mean we all joke but this guy took it to the next level. If I was the owner of that fancy yellow car, I would not be laughing.

I will find out why, but somebody put it in the violations section. I couldn't see where it broke any rules though.

hey!! we changed the sprocket works a little better, but he needs more sit time to hang from the throttle wide open... thx for the advice it works .....we have about 6 mx tracks within 1 hour drive we're hitting them hard !! here some video

One's he starts riding,she will become a dirt mom as well .... My wife takes him to practice during the week, she's having such a good time she wants to get my 6 year old daughter a 50cc. there are plenty of mom's supporting their kids in the 50's 65's and 85's classes. Let me tell you jumping and hauling the mail around the track is
no joke the kids can and will get hurt sometimes ,but jumping the bike is the most fun part of mx racing get all the gear he need to be safe and have a good time.

No problem anytime, glad its working. Im sure with more seat time he'll get more comfortable, if not and the peaky power is really bothering him just get the flywheel cause it will really tone it down alot, at least until hes ready. He might even benefit at the track cause he wont be afraid and the power will come on much smoother which means he will stay on the throttle longer since it wont feel out of control and scare him.

Im really jealous of your son. Wish my parents were as cool as you guys when I was 13. I had to do everything myself.

Best of luck im sure hes having a blast out there.

When I was around 9, I begged my dad for a dirt bike but he was afraid that I would hurt myself.. However, he did get me involved with rotors from a young age & I practically grew up at the drag track

I hope your kid know's how lucky he is to have a cool dad. Good luck & be safe out there

I'm sure this video will inspire someone... Besides the story, listen to the words of this song!

No matter how bad the situation seems, there's always a way with the big man upstairs!
This man & his son took their life lemons and made sweet lemonade... They didn't let life's bad luck keep them down

thanks guy's for your comments , I grew up without my dad the old man was either drunk or out at the cantinas when i was a kid , was never around and alcohol end up taking his life at mid 50's. I said to my self early on that i would never do that to my kids not being around, I been marry 22 years have 2 boys and my 5 year old daughter they are the most important thing in my life apart from the lord .I'm truly a blessed man and i thank God for that everyday when is good or bad.........the bible says that God's strength is made perfect in weakness and the godliness and contentment are a great gain for a man, like you say if God gives you lemons you make lemonade. think about this (people who don't believe in destiny usually find it on the road they took trying to avoid it) God is good my friends love your family .....great video bro is great encouragement for all of us

happy thanksgiving everyone....

that redeemer video almost made me cry..****.

My dad never really gave me much but always took me to the track when i was a kid. he had a full bridge 12A Toyota starlet and he use to let me drive it when i was like 14 around the shop. At that time he was running 13 flat with it and it was mad loud, I loved it

He would take me to the mud races in Puerto Rico and when we got home my mom would flip the F*ck out because i was covered in mud. My dad would laugh it off. while i got yelled at. Thanks dad
