I was bored and figured this might be a fun little thread to those of real life MX racers.I'll go first:
Most embarrassing moment: I was on my old Honda XR-400 playriding(right before I started racing MX on a KX-125)and we used to ride at a place called Lembo Lake     http://www.atvny.com/home.htm   It was fun to just blast around,it had natural jumps and all that.Anyway,I was learning how to jump and there was a nice 45 foot tabletop kinda jump and I hit in 3rd gear,half throttle,got scared in the air and grabbed the front brake....you can imagine what happened when I landed...right in front of the "cool" mx kids on their 2-strokes......I wound up breaking 2 toes.lol. Then I bought my first MX bike,a 1991 KX 125 and off I went.

Best MX moment- Last year,my final race at Ace MX park in New York,on my KXF-250.On my last lap of the year,I pulled a kick-ass Nac-Nac over the spectator tabletop jump and landed it and the rest is history.Thats my 15 minutes of fame! It's the only trick I am comfortable doing.
Anyone else?

Most embarrasing moment:

I was leading an 85cc Sr. Mini race and it started raining on the 2nd or 3rd lap.  The finish line flagger pulled out a checkered flag umbrella and I saw it thinking it was the checkered flag.  I pulled of and my dad was yelling at me.  I realized what I did, got back on the track and still won. :P

Greatest moment....

Riding about 4 corners with Mike Brown behind me 2 years ago at Smoky Mountain Raceway.  He didn't stay back behind me long and he dissappeared, but it was awesome to know I raced him. :P

Oh man, I could fill a few pages of both embarassing and best moments.

Here's one I still kick myself in the ass for.
I was coming from way behind, in 250B (first turn crash I think) but I caught up and was side by side w/ 2nd in the air, and right behind 1st place. First place dude overjumps the table top we are all in the air for, lands and snaps his wrists (its a BIG jump. sucks for him, but now I'm first :)) Anyhoo, next thing I know, I hear Boooogggg. Bike dies out of nowhere. Take it back to the pits, start to tare it apart suspecting electrical problem, and when we go to take the tank off, it seemed a bit light. Yup out of gas. Already pissed cause I basically lost the race on the last lap, I was even more pissed at the end of the season when I missed out on 1st place by 2 points.

A good moment,  winning both 125 and 250 B the next year for the season.  I guess I made up for the year before.

oh and to explain running out of gas. My 250 was out of the trailer cause I was doing some work on it. All the other bikes were in the trailer. I mixed gas and fillled every bike, but forgot mine outside. DUH!
