Motorcycle Talk / Joyracer Youth ATVs Recalled
Last post by Biketographer - June 13, 2025, 01:49:41 PMName of Product:
Joyracer 500w Dirt Quad Electric ATVs
Hazard:
The youth ATVs are missing a tail lamp, stop lamp and all required safety reflectors, reducing visibility of the ATV to other vehicles, posing a collision hazard. The handlebars also fail to comply with ATV safety requirements, posing a deadly laceration hazard if the child rider's body or head impacts the handlebars. Additionally, the ATVs fail to comply with other mandatory safety requirements for ATVs intended for children 6 years of age and older, including lacking an owner's manual and required labeling. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety regulations pose a risk of serious injury or death to the rider.
Consumer Action:
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Joyracer youth ATVs immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous ATVs.
The Joyracer youth 500W Dirt Quad Electric ATVs were sold online at Walmart.com from June 2024 through January 2025 for between $550 and $1,000. They were sold in black, blue, light blue, red and yellow colors. The products may have also been sold on other platforms or by other third-party sellers.
These products were manufactured in China.

Last post by Biketographer - June 12, 2025, 12:27:45 PMConcussion blood test has already shown its value.
Read the full news article on www.MotoAmerica.com
QuoteMotoAmerica Medical Director Dr. Carl Price has been using the new Abbott i-STAT Alinity analyzer and i-STAT TBI test cartridges since the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta round. At the recent Road America round, two case studies emerged that have provided some valuable insights about the device and the testing procedures.
Quote"The second test the next morning definitely revealed that he had a concussion, so he was ruled out of riding for the remainder of the weekend.
"The Abbott i-STAT Alinity analyzer has really been an epiphany for me. The UCH-L1 rises quickly. Almost immediately. The GFAP takes a little bit longer to rise. Generally, it peaks at around 18 to 23 hours. I tested the rider once not long after the crash, and then, I tested him a second time about 16 hours later. So, that's an important learning in this process.

Motorcycle Talk / Neck Brace Effectiveness Stati...
Last post by Biketographer - June 11, 2025, 08:23:27 AMNeck Brace Effectiveness Statistics by Great Lakes EMS Inc (Action Sports EMS).
Introduction/Background
Action Sports EMS is an ambulance service catering to the amateur motocross industry in five states.
Founded in 2008 in Northern Wisconsin we have managed to procure some of the largest motocross venues
in the Midwest. Our annual coverage includes multiple area and regional Loretta Lynn qualifiers, Flat track
grand nationals, ISOC, sno-cross events, and more. We work directly for the AMA providing care and
transport at various events, often managing over 1000 riders in a single weekend.
Over the years we have overheard and had conversations about the positives and perceived negatives of
wearing various kinds of safety gear, in particular neck braces. Regardless of make or manufacturer people
seem to think they are "bad". This perception may be based on old designs, personal experiences, social
media commentary, and/or a total lack of knowledge when it comes to body mechanics.
Riders from age 6 to age 50+ have shared some horrific fallacies about neck braces, much of this
information is coming from other riders during what we call "campfire talk". More frustrating are trainers with
junior riders feeding this information to parents and young riders. Some examples:
• A neck brace will break your collarbone.
• You cannot look up a hill or jump so don't wear one.
• You cannot compete wearing one of these and not many Pro's wear them.
• They will break your upper back and cause nerve damage or paralysis.
• They are uncomfortable.
• They restrict movement.
• They are stupid looking.
• None of them fit right.
We as a team feel our riders need to be educated on the mechanics of a neck brace, what it can and cannot
do. Furthermore, we must dispel these myths about a product designed to help protect the cervical spine
and potentially save a life. The same can be said for seatbelts and air bags many decades ago.
We feel the results of this actual patient data is proof that neck braces are providing the results intended
since their creation. This is something the manufacturers of these devices have known for several years, and
we hope the extensiveness of this report (and other reports like it) will finally show people real world data. We
feel the manufacturers are on the right path and the data from the study will back up their claims.
Data Collected
*Data is collected for all patient contacts per DHS rule in any state a provider is licensed.
Data in this study has been collected from January 2009 to October 2018, (nearly 10 years) and includes
9430 total patients, 8529 of which fall into the criteria pertaining to wearing (or not wearing) a neck brace,
along with Cervical Spine and/or Clavicle injuries, and/or deaths recorded during this time. The other 901
pre-date the "Yes brace or No brace" question, so data from these instances was excluded. This case study
strictly isolates data pertaining to these injuries, as well as accompanying factors like hospital admit, ALS
transport (Advanced life support ambulance or flight service), spinal immobilization, fatal injury, and more.
Of the 8529 recorded patients, 4726 of them were toggled as "NO" which indicates neck protection was not
in place at the time of injury and when the record was created. 3803 were toggled "YES" which indicates
neck protection was in place at the time of injury and when the record was created.
Statistics
1. A Critical Cervical Spine injury is 89% more likely without a
neck brace.
Over the course of the 10 year study, there were 239 recorded cases of Critical Cervical Spine injuries
without a neck brace, and 26 with a neck brace.
2. Death is 69%+* more likely (due to Cervical Spine Injury)
without a neck brace.
Over the course of the 10 year study, there were 4 recorded cases of death caused by Critical Cervical Spine
injuries without a neck brace, and just 1 with a neck brace.
*It should be noted that the patient who experienced death with the neck brace had a full Cervical Spine
Fusion from a previous injury, and received a blunt force (part of the motorcycle) directly to the back of the
neck. Since the injury falls into our report criteria the accident is included in this report, but the circumstances
are worth mentioning.
Deaths due to Critical Cervical Injury
3. A Non-Critical Cervical Spine injury is 75% more likely without
a neck brace.
Over the course of the 10 year study, there were 702 recorded cases of Non-Critical Cervical Spine injuries
without a neck brace, and just 109 with a neck brace.
4. A Clavicle (collarbone) fracture is 45% more likely without a neck brace.
Over the course of the 10 year study, there were 443 recorded Clavicle fractures without a neck brace, and
291 with a neck brace.
Non-Critical Cervical Injuries
Clavicle (Collarbone) Injuries
5. Cervical Spine injuries sustained without a neck brace are
more severe, require greater care.
As shown in the left above, of the 239 Critical Cervical Spine injuries without a neck brace (Shown in black),
100% (239) of them required a hospital admit (Yellow) and ALS transport (Orange), compared to just 73%,
and 42% for neck brace wearers respectively (Right chart, same colors).
Of the 239 Critical Cervical Spine injuries without a neck brace, 87% (207) received Spinal Immobilization
(Red), where as of the 26 Critical Cervical Spine injuries with a neck brace, 76% (22) were immobilized.
Without Neck Brace
Critcal Cervical Injury Hospital Admit
ALS Transport Spinal Immobalization
With Neck brace
Critcal Cervical Injury Hospital Admit
ALS Transport Spinal Immobalization
6. A Cervical Spine injury of any kind is 82% more likely without a
neck brace.
Over the course of the 10 year study, combining all critical and non critical Cervical Spine injuries, 945 injuries
were recorded without a neck brace (20% of 4726 people), and 136 with a neck brace (3.5% of 3803
people).
Conclusion
9430 recorded accidents over nearly 10 years is a substantial sampling of real world data pertaining to neck
braces, and in every instance above neck braces are an exponential improvement in rider safety. We will
continue to record this data for many years to come, and we feel with time these statistics will only continue,
if not improve if more people continue to adopt this technology. While we cannot definitively rule out that the
device (or any device) could potentially play a negative role during an accident, we feel it is important to
mention that no device known to man is 100% effective, and that same rule applies to neck braces.
Our hope is that people see this, educate themselves on the benefits of wearing a neck brace, and make an
informed decision regarding their safety when riding their motorcycle. The numbers don't lie, and we highly
recommend everyone consider wearing any protection item that can help contribute to their safety.
It should be noted that just like your bike, helmet, boots, etc, any equipment worn must be properly fitted
according to manufacturers instructions in order to provide maximum benefit and wearability. Improperly
fitted equipment can cause unexpected results, and may hinder your ability on the motorcycle, and may even
lead to injury and/or death.
Disclaimer: We are an EMS service that is simply looking out for rider safety. This is real world data
collected over many years, and has in no way been manipulated to show a benefit or detriment either for, or
against neck braces. Keeping you safe is our passion and it is our duty to share what we have learned while
catering to the motorsports industry and to our moto-family for the good part of a decade.

Racing Discussion / Cooper Webb Three-Time Supercr...
Last post by Biketographer - May 24, 2025, 12:21:28 PMPALA, Calif., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 17-Round Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship and indoor stadium season of the SMX World Championship™ series concluded on Saturday, May 10 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Cooper Webb won the title and joined a very short list of athletes (seven) to earn three or more premier class championships. At 29, Webb becomes the oldest champion in the sport's history, besting 2-Time Champion Eli Tomac by just one week.
Webb finished the season with five wins and thirteen podium appearances.
Like the 450SX Class Championship, the Eastern Divisional 250SX Class Championship also came down to the final race of the season – the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown that featured both 250 divisions racing together. Red Bull KTM's Tom Vialle backed up last year's title run with a second championship over rivals Seth Hammaker and RJ Hampshire. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Haiden Deegan wrapped up the Western Divisional 250SX Class Championship one week earlier in Denver, Colorado.
The 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season drew the fourth highest attendance in the sport's modern era. The season started with a sold-out event at the Anaheim Opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California on January 11. For the second year in a row Round 7 in Arlington, Texas at AT&T Stadium on February 22 was the most attended event of the season hosting more than 68K fans. Rounds 9 and 11 in Indianapolis, Indiana at Lucas Oil Stadium on March 8 and Seattle, Washington at Lumen Field on March 29 both recorded their second highest attendances ever for their respective markets with Indianapolis pulling an impressive 62K plus and Seattle drawing 58,463.
Round 15 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Acrisure Stadium on April 26 was the shining star of the Northeast run as more than 58K fans attended the first race ever held at the stadium, and first time back in market since 1983. The pre-race festival FanFest also drew a notable 26K plus fans which is 8,000 more people than neighboring PPG Paints Arena would typically host for a sold-out Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL) home game.
The season concluded with a near capacity crowd at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. In total, 828,796 fans attended Supercross and 329,751 showed up early for the pre-race festivities known as FanFest in 2025.
From a domestic viewership standpoint, the 2025 season marked several milestones as eight of the ten most-streamed races of all time on Peacock were from this season. Over 80% of races (14 of 17) saw viewership increases compared to last season on Peacock. Additionally, over 1 billion total minutes were streamed on Peacock for the first time ever.
Streamed in three different languages (English, Spanish, and French), the international livestream made available through the SuperMotocross Video Pass continues to drive a global viewing audience and makes SuperMotocross one of the most accessible sports around the world. In its third year, global subscriptions to the SMX Video Pass are up 43% and 70% compared to 2024 and 2023 respectively. Compared to 2023, the SMX Video Pass saw a 28% increase in views, an 80% increase in unique viewers, and a 50% increase in minutes watched.
In its second year, the Spanish Broadcast has seen year-over-year increases in total views - 85%, unique viewers - 34%, and minutes watched - 89%.
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 24, the outdoor Pro Motocross season of the SMX World Championship series gets underway with the Pala Casino Fox Raceway National Presented by Fox Racing in Pala, Calif. The 11-round outdoor season will travel to 10 different states, with visits to Fox Raceway, Hangtown, Thunder Valley Motocross Park, High Point Raceway, The Wick 338, RedBud MX, Spring Creek MX Park, Washougal MX Park, Ironman Raceway, Unadilla MX, and ending at Budds Creek Motocross Park in Budds Creek, Maryland.
Once the Pro Motocross season concludes, the combined points between Supercross and Pro Motocross will be tallied and the top 20 athletes in the world will be automatically seeded into the SMX World Championship Playoffs and Final.
SMX World Championship Playoff 1 will take place on Saturday, September 6, at zMAX Dragway in Concord, N.C., and Playoff 2 is set for Saturday, September 13, at the Dome At America's Center in St. Louis, Mo., followed by the SMX World Championship Final on Saturday, September 20, at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas.
