@FunkyChicken251 Dude is fast… I remember seeing him battle with Masterpool at their place in Texas a couple years ago

@Drunken_People My exact question

[Matt Bell, HBI Racing @HBItax]

@Jason66Thomas Cue mass exodus of wealth from NY

[Adam Cianciarulo @AdamCianciarulo]

I was raised around the church, and I wasn’t into it. I was never going to be the guy that believed in all this just because that was what was socially acceptable in my environment.

Over the years, I had gone back and forth, but it was never much of a priority. Fast forward to 2022, I considered myself agnostic and decided to get serious about figuring out a direction. I read every book I could find on the subject, the Bible included, doing my best to view all the information objectively.

Around this time, I was down bad one day and decided to say a prayer and asked Him to show me a sign. The very next day, a man came up to me in the gym, hadn’t seen him before and haven’t seen him since, he held out a shirt with the verse from Jeremiah "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future.” on it and said “I’m not sure why, but I felt called to give this to you today, he sees you”.

I get random text from my mom that afternoon, same verse.

On that same day, my Grandpa was in the hospital—the only artwork in his room? Same verse. (Found this out weeks later)

I realized that over the years I had a bad taste in my mouth about organized religion. It can be used to control and to profit, but I also realized that isn’t what Jesus wanted or taught. That is humans being human, and I came to the conclusion that it’s not right for me to let their mistakes affect the way I view Christianity.

I’m a logical dude, I get the skepticism over the subject, and sitting here today I can tell you that I never thought I would write something like this. Everyone is on their own journey, and I’m the last one to push my beliefs on someone else. I’m not trying to appear virtuous, or trying to assert myself as “above” anyone. I’m writing this because arriving here has changed my life in a way that makes it feel wrong to keep it to myself.

I don’t have all the answers, but through my own research and experience, all I can say is that I believe with all my heart and soul. God bless, and have a great weekend.

@JasonWeigandt Good info Jason…so hard to search out this stuff

[Matt Bell, HBI Racing @HBItax]

@KKeefer120 I think he gets a contract. Gotta remember that this was his rookie SX season…and he did it on a 450. In the 250 class, with another SX pre-season, I see him top 10 every week.

@EastSideMoto He is still in the process of rehabbing his knee. I would expect a return to pro motocross this season.

[Matt Bell, HBI Racing @HBItax]

@GaigeMcgreevey Nope, not even Ty until Thursday morning. I was actually on a flight to Pala and saw the injuries at PC and was thinking that this may be Ty’s chance. I had Wi-Fi on the flight and Ty texted me to discuss it before we even landed.

[Matt Bell, HBI Racing @HBItax]

The HBI Racing lineup for Pala:

Ty Masterpool #29 - 450
Jake Masterpool #416 - 450
Ayden Shive #137 - 450
Hardy Munoz #90 - 250
Slade Varola #805- 250

@JustinStarling_ Congratulations Justin!

[Matt Bell, HBI Racing @HBItax]

@CrossXRutted We always want what’s best for our riders, including Ty. Factory deals are what riders dream of…and we support that 100% if the opportunity arises and both the team and rider feel that is the best route.

Excited for 2 x Masterpools to be under the tent this weekend
