I was in a Honda shop the other day and was talking to the parts guy behind the counter about general Honda ATV info and I noticed an extreme motocross bike video playing in the background. So I asked the guy, "dude how come everytime I come in here you guys are always playing the same dirtbike videos, why don't you guys play Huevos the ATV video or such?" The guy kind of shook his head and a couple of wannabe MX dirtbike guys just started laughing beside me. I turned and looked at them and was like what wtf? I said "excuse me what sup?" One of the guys proceded to tell me that ATV's were far from being extreme. He pointed at the video where this guy was doign a nack nack on a tripple jump and started gloating that until ATV's could do that, that they would never be in the same league. Well, I told these guys I had been riding ATVs for about 15 years. And that now more than ever there were alot more sport ATVs out and could do alot more than any dirtbike. So basically we got into this long fight about Dirtbike vs ATV. I was arguing that until a dirtbike could throw its a$$ end around on a dune throwing sand 35 foot in the air, or tackle mud, snow, and powerslide that they could never be totally extreme. Obviously they cared little to even slightly pay attention to what I was saying. I didn't even finish talking before one of the guys got up in my face, and we almost all got kicked out of the Honda shop. Man, wtf? Has there always been a rivalry like this between dirtbike guys and ATV guys? This is crazy. I stay over on the dark side of things in the ATV world and never get out I guess. Is this a new generation thing, I'm better than you type mentality or what? I have never seen this before anywhere....

 

i have riden both atv's and motorcycles, and have you ever seen someone on a dirt bike in the dunes that really knows his stuff. Talking extreme- not just jumping but power slidding and everything else. It was incredible to watch.(of course this wasn't me). up until 4 months ago i was out in the dunes on a dirt bike, now with the ds I feel very lazy.
