5 Reasons to Clean Another Racer TF Out

Let’s keep it a buck for a moment – you do not need a reason to clean someone out on the track. You do it because you are a bad ass alpha-male jackhammer, enough said. But for those of you with actual consciences that need to rationalize your behavior, we present this top 5:

1. He almost made contact with you – Fuck that, did you see how close that asshole came to scratching your plastic? This is kid is going to go about his lap pretending that he didn’t just damn near scuff your fresh Acerbis, so it is time to get medieval on a mofo.

2. Blocking the guy behind you – Ever seen a chase seen in every cop movie ever made? What is the number one way to elude a pursuer on foot? Run through an old warehouse or something and throw shit in his way. A soiled mattress is to the guy chasing you as a whoop section is to Jorge Prado – literally the last thing he wants to deal with. So it only holds to logic that a similar tactic would work on the race track, just replace the soiled mattress with the bike and body of the poor S.O.B. you just tee'd up in the 180 bowl corner. Eventually the dude behind is going to get wrapped up in that, just keep at it.

3. You’re having a bad race– Nothing brightens up a shit race like taking someone slower than you high on a berm and knowing full well that he will hit the ground. In your Predator-esque tunnel vision driven by a rage inferno, this idiot just strayed into the wrong place at the wrong time. It was his fault; don’t stand on the tracks when the train is coming through.

4. It’s easier than actually racing – Maybe you aren’t in the best shape, maybe you don't have the points lead, maybe you are just out of your element. Regardless, this dude is going to beat you if you don’t do something about it. The situation is easily remedied approaching a sharp turn with positive application of throttle combined with negative application of handlebar turning. He’s on the ground, and you are arm pumping your way to a 13th. You freakin' boss.

5. Keeping it real – Nothing is more important than keeping it real. Nothing. If that dude is getting a hot head and riding the course like his shit don’t stink, you have but one option: keep it real.
