• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

MX tracks, I hope someday sooner than later

We in the all mighty AMA world in the US of A . After watching the best MX/SX riders in the world get injured one by one every weekend (sometimes more than one by one). Have the sense to get back to a more natural terrain type flowing style of track like this one for example. Sure speed, lots of corners and terrain changes even technical sections, but this do or die stuff is shit for racing. RN

RV1 was saying in some of his interviews this year that track maintenance needs to be improved to help stop the crashes in sx ... These guys are always saying they are dragging their feet in the ruts ... I really don't see how they can do the jumps sometimes due to the jump faces and landing being so rutted ....

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't the FIM guys in EU smooth the track between motos and in the states, we save that ~30 GALS of diesel and never touch the track between motos?
 
I've always wondered the same thing. Even local MX tracks recognize the safety benefit of grooming the track every now and then. Why should Pro riders be subject to less safety?
 
This does seem to be a SX issue, not really an MX issue. The one MX National I see is at Washougal which can be ridden by pro or an old fat guy (speaking) pretty much the same as it has been for the 40 years Ive been riding.

While I watch SX, as a rider I find it to be more like a video game than real motocross.

It may take the teams and riders refusing to do SX until conditions improve...this happened many years ago in the open wheeled car racing world where death was all too often the outcome when things went wrong.
