Riding by yourself is super dangerous we should have a rule that every pic needs to have 2 riders in it.I:I
 
You guys act like there's thoudands of people on here everday?

there is possibly thousands of users on here daily,
the list at the bottom only shows registered users, not guests, right now there is 135 users veiwing this, only 8 are registered users shown at the bottom of the main page.
veiw "quicklinks/whos online"

and this is on the first page everytime anyone, worldwide, googles "yamaha blaster"
thats how i found this place :eek:
(damn google ha? LOL)

i wonder how many of those thousands of guests click a link on here and see a helmetless riding video, and say to themselves...."look at these idiots"
everyone already knows youtube is full of them,
should we be classified in that same category ? ...videos of all types of idiots from snorting cinnamon to eating doggy doo ??

One of my favorite local spots is shut down because a guy killed himself fully geared. It doesn't matter if u have a helmet or not they shut areas down to avoid legal issues.

yes, it happens to fully protected riders too,
everyday somewhere actually.
but the chances are far greater unprotected.
 
and this helmetless baffoon is the only video listed under
"official blasterforum videos".............

way to represent this place ?
i'm so proud to be associated with this !!!

Soooo maybe if we are going to call something "official blaster forum videos" the mistake is not on the guy who posted the vid but the guy that decided to make a "official blaster forum vids" section. What is official about any of those vids? nothing they are just user vids and thats what the forum should be called.
 
he said crack.. thats on this forum so that must represent me. that has to be deleted

Seriously wtf now the whole world is gonna think im a crack head because this guy said crack on the forums.

Deny it if you want but this is the same reasoning you guys are using.
 
Next there will be laws keeping us inside our homes except to goto work,because oh my god to live your life is hazardous to your health.I am getting on my GS1150 now,fully geared and ima go riding,And look at all the fools out today on motorcycles in shorts n t shirt with loud pipes who do not know how to ride into a corner.And i am done with this topic,i have never seen a vid or pic on here of helmetless riding,AND i don't even notice the avatars with boobies,maybe i should pay attention,but it does not catch my eye ,i care not for it.
The only porn i love is motorcycles wheelers n cars or trucks,things with engines hehe.
 
This isn't about telling anyone what they can and can't do , its about keeping our rights as riders and putting what we do in a positive light at all times . I don't really LIKE to go on beach rides on clean up days , but I do it because it's REALLY good press and it keeps us RESPONSIBLE people doing what we like to do. Blasterforum is a PUBLIC place , so ANYONE can come here and watch video's , read comments and yes USE YOUR STUPID ANTICS as content for any kind of article they may want to write . The RESPONSIBLE FOREWARD THINKING members of this site understand this and don't want our sport marred by the actions of children and adult children who still think nothing bad can happen to them . I said before I don't really care if you don't wear a helmet while riding , but It's NOT GOING TO BE DISPLAYED ON THIS FORUM . If the bike is sitting still in your garage or driveway and your half naked girl is siting on it GREAT , But ANY pictures depicting riding w/o a helmet and It shouldn't be allowed .

Im going to keep picking on you because you are easy, and Justin is exempt because he wears Jesus sandals.

EXACTLY Tyler, you finally get it!
If you posted pictures of yourself doing crack it WOULD reflect poorly on everyone, just like when people post pictures of riding with no helmet! Do you know why? Because we are all members of the same community, blasterforums.com
 
Wanted to vote no because i dont think it will sway the minds of children with all the access they have to other media sites...but had to vote yes. Just too much negative media about our sport out there and why display it where the people who love the sport go to online?
 
in NJ total like 7 years ago, there were about 7 places to ride legally. just in NJ. now there is only 1 for quads and dirt bikes. (mostly dirt bikes, they only have 2 events a year for quads) and my last race was there. its an awesome place, but there hurting, and may shut down soon too.

Atco shut down this year
Thunder in the sand shut down in the last 2 months.

by me, theres 4 places to ride. one in NJ, 2 in NY (about 1hrs drive) 1 in PA (bout 1.5-2hrs drive)

it sucks having these places shut down. and being where i live, there the ONLY places i can ride without getting cought and haveing my lisense suspended.

most of these places are shutting down because of injuries and people being sue happpy. and half of the injuries dont even accur on the track. they acurr in the pits where NO ONE wears helemts driving back and forth, and you have people who are being idiots riding 2 ppl and trying to do wheelies and falling off with a freaking beer in their hand. which is in violtation of like 3 AMA rules and like 5 Track rules. if they got cought, Their AMA memberships would be taken away for 1 year, and be kicked off/banded from that track.

and TBH, it just sucks having no where to ride because of police and other losers who constantly watch in tree stands with their phone already dialed to 911 or the police, so all they have to do is hit send. (and yes that has happened to me, which has broke out into a fight)

if you guys dont want to wear helmets and proper safty equitment, then fine. have at it! but dont be posting oics on the forum of you flying down the road doing 50 in a wheelie with no helmet, shorts, and no shirt.

ive seen SO many ppl's lives been saved because of helmets at the tracks. and ive heard of SO many ppl dieing because of them being idiots on quads and dirt bikes and not having any equitment on. then having their families sue the sh*t of of the place where they were riding cause they thought it was the owner of the place that causes them to crash. its effin stupid!

think of it this way: what happends if you child had a quad, and went to a friends house to ride. you sent them full gear (helmet, gloves, boots, goggles, etc) and told him to wear it.
next thing you know, hes in the ER in critical condition, half dead already. whats your first reaction gonna be? yea thats rite, sue the parents of your kids friend!

so whats the difference if its a 10 year old or a 5 year old, or a 40 year old, or a 70 year old????? NOTHING! its still gonna be YOU in that ER barly alive because YOU thought it would be cool to show off, and now YOU are hoping to atil be alive.

its a fact that helmets and proper riding equitment SAVES LIVES.
if you want to be the dumb F*CK who thinks you dont need one because you are "a pro", then by all means, have at it. just dont go posting your pics or anything about it, or thatu crashed and now theres 1000's of dollars in damage. NO ONE wants to hear that.



here we go: this just happened April 12

now what about this one wherehes wearing a helmet, and they way he crashed, probs would have been dead, if not in Cridical condition i the ER


so whats the difference between the 2?

1)no hemlet, no special gear, doing choures, died becaue of the quad probbs nailing him in the head

2) helmets, some wht of protected gear, having fun ripping hard, being idiots, but still alive and walking rite after.

so before you go posting you helmetless vids and pics of you doing stupid azz stuff, think about it.

Quiet honestly, idc if i offended anyone. maybe it will get you to think about wht you are doing and that it wont only effect you, but everyone around you. maybe you will also think about how this is comming from a 15 year old who dosent even have kids yet, and not someone who is 90yo and has been through "everything possible".

good 3,500 post? i think so...

i say f*ck helmets i dont wear them and never will, they look gay and just make my head sweat and i will never wreck so i dont need that sh*t
 
Awk i got some respect for you, honestly your one of the big helpers around here and i respect that.

All that being said thats not what made the ufc what it is, they dumped a ton of money into getting together the best fighters on the planet, they made a reputation for it, it got more funding and grew. Now to be the best in the world you need to be in the ufc. It is what it is because of the fertitta brothers and all the money they spent on it. Incase you dont know they own 40.5% each dana white owns 9% he runs it but they quoted him on a recent episode of inside mma saying something along the lines of "i just enforce the rules its not my job to make them". And incase you also didnt know the fertitta brothers own other mma leagues some that allow kicking in the face when down. I believe its pride? idk they own a few leagues i know they are more brutal then the ufc as far as rules but they are lower class fighters. The ufc fighters are at the top and to valuable as public figures to let them get kicked in the face on the mat but the lower class fighters are not as valuable so whatever.

Anybody can watch the ufc even if you dont pay for the fight to watch it the night its on they always rerun them and with ultimate fighter and all the other mma shows and such its easy access for anybody.

Riding on the other hand takes money, you gotta go buy a quad and maintain it and put gas in it and when you go on a riding trip to busco or silver lake it takes a lot of money.

So i would have to say that is why ufc grows faster then atv riding nothing to do with rules...:)

Im a huge ufc fan so if u wanna talk ufc shoot me a pm or catch me in the chatbox

Now, ive given you guys some fuel go ahead and bash me as a person instead of debating your side of it, that seems to be a growing trend.I:I


UFC is more fun to watch than motocross or XC. MX is boring to 99% of the population, mostly those people that dont do it.

Now, UFC is fun for me to watch and Ive never faught before. Give me 4 bud buckets and Ill make a night of it.

get a quality helmet and as long as your moving, your head will be nice and cool...airflow is the key......and while you may think you will never wreck, the odds are not in your favor...if you ride long enough, you will have a wreck.....it may not be your fault, but as shown in that video above, you just need to be in the wrong place at the wrong time to have someone else cause you to wreck .

I honestly dont know how anyone could ride without a helmet and goggles......the way me and my buddies ride, I would have my eyes full of mud dust and dirt in about 5 minutes and be unable to see anything
