Ask Ping!

ODI dates back to the 1980’s as the leader in grip manufacturing. Focusing primarily on the bmx and mountain bike industries through the 90’s and early 2000’s, ODI re-entered the motocross scene when they developed the patented lock-on grip system that eliminates wire and glue. Continuing to advance the way riders hold on to their bikes, ODI has worked closely with the teams they support such as Troy Lee Designs to create the product that is now being used by some of the top teams in the industry.

Jesus, how lazy are you guys?
Next you can chew his food and spit it in his mouth, baby bird style!
Is the link broken? It just waits until a timeout. Did he break his podcast too?
@BigUglyManiac: Try a different web browser. It's working on our end.
@Chase Stallo: Not really a great response there, I'm using IE9 32 Bit on Windows 7 64 Bit and the link doesn't work either, I'm guessing you're using Chrome, most users will be using a version of Internet Explorer so it's in your interest to check these things work for most readers, instead of just saying 'try a different browser'.
Anyone using IE just right click the link and click 'Save target as...' then just open with your media player. It'll work fine then.
An awful lot of political incorrectness in that podcast.
I am guilty of frequently using the "thats gay" expression also Ping but then again I'm not trying to "sell anything" myself unlike Racer X.
Also I personally hate dogs --- but you better hope no PETA folks get wind of this or they may have your ass arrested.
Great site guys --- Love the coverage.
He usually does three questions.Last week he did two.Surely his wife or someone could of took the time to type it out for him.It would probably took 10 minutes.
just so you know i hate dogs...why bring your dog trick or treating? no dog no issue?
Wow! Just heard the pod cast.
"when was the last time you heard of a Border Collie attack?" signed , my dog.
No complaints here, actually a very solid 45 minute podcast. Keep them coming while he has a cast on, from a dog fight.
p.s. skinny jeans and flat bill hats have been around for over half a century, don't worry about it.
o canada! Our home and native land True patriot love in all thy sons command. we burnt down the white house. With glowing hearts we see these rise, the true north strong and free. we burnt down the white house.
I enjoyed this here pod cast.
2 minutes of reading. or listen to a 45 minute pod cast? Just f'ing get someone to type it next time. I'm gonna skip ask ping this week.
@urbani. Haha I'm with you waste of time easy to read and I hate listening to matthes talk guy is a idiot!
If you pinch that dog where no dog ever wants to be pinched, you'll have better luck next time. Well better luck getting the poodle out of his mouth, then you'll have to figure out how to get your fingers out of his mouth. Hohohoh
that was awesome. do them all like this ping
i could have listened to you guys bench race another hour or two easy
The people complaining need to get back to watching your Oprah network programs. Obviously, that's where y'all belong.
Go Figure Matthes is brainwashed into thinking Romney is buying the Election, yet the truth is Obama has raised and spent more money on his campaign while using Tax dollar funded transportation. WallStreet is donating to Obama 2 to 1...Ever hear of QE1-2 and 3?
Matthes please do not become a US citizen and vote. We do not need or want your Government loving loser ass here, bad enough the American in your family is a traitor.
U.S. went from No. 1 in global competitiveness in 2008-2009 to No.7 in 2011-2012.
Average cost of college tuition increase from $6,591 in 2009 to $8,244 in 2012
The price of gasoline skyrocketed from $1.85-per-gallon in 2009 to $3.86-per-gallon in 2012
The Obama administration has added 11,327 new pages of government regulations
Federal debt has ballooned from $10.6 trillion in 2009 to $16.06 trillion in 2012.
i'll be glad when this two party scapegoat contest is over...and their legions of sheep shut the f^&k up........
Well, This was an interesting edition of the Ping/Matthes show. I can relate to every topic they landed on. The dog thing is a big one for me too. People who let their dogs control them, I just don't get.
The hand thing, broke that exact same metacarpal, (not 5 separate places though) when I was about 17. had three pins for about 10 weeks and it is still a problem child. You better see a specialist asap before it starts to heal irregularly.
The hat thing, I think came from Jesse (low rider) James via Gangsta Rap via Nuke-U-ler Cowboys, and how (real) Motocross adopted it, I could never quite figure it. But, I am old school, so fashion has pretty much run it's course by now.
Too bad about Ward Racing and all it will mean. I would just bet PC will be cutting checks for Deano this winter, though. KTM, I am thinking... not so much. But, weirder things have happened.
All in all, I stayed amused while practice punching my Iguana for 40 min. Great pastime.
Good luck with the hand Ping, just find a good Orthopedic specialist sooner rather than later. I am sure you have the connections for good referrals.
you only need one finger to type you lazy ass
Yfz450rider: Oprah has her own network now? You'd know douche nozzle.
That was awesome. Really enjoyed it. Ping, you need to remember what it was like when you broke both your wrists in Supermoto. At least you have one hand to take care of business with. I'm sure your wife is grateful for that!
Great show, you guys should do it more often.
Should of just used a bucket of water...
Water does nothing. I just had 2, male, 50-65 pound dogs that I'm taking care of fight for 8 minutes thursday till they decided to let go of each other. I was hosing them, hosing them in the face, pulling, kicking at them ..... take a hose to them was my idea - it had worked once in a minor fight. Not in a real fight. These two fought again less than 24 hours later. Now they are separated for good. They will NEVER be back together. These are like my own dogs practically - it was totally heartbreaking
Hey Steve you could type what Ping says, I am not complaing about Ping but I am deaf and just trying to Ketchup on stuff , Been busy. Anhoooo Take care Ping and I dont like broken bones anymore than you! Hey Mathes how many bones ya broke?
OK now I will read the comments!
OK I read... @pizzacorner you are well informed I could not have typed it better and never mind my typing. I just hope we can save my country from bama---note not enough respect to use whats his name.
LETS RACE!!!
Thanks Ping. This is now officially the best MX podcast ever. All those other shows are only good when your on them so why not have your own.
Is Romney the fool who said London wasnt ready for the olympics?. for the sake of the rest of the world, please vote Obama.
If anyone (Ping for sure!!!) don't know how to get a Pit Bull off of you or your dog, all you need to do is grab it by one of its front Paws and twist the hell out of it!!!! This hurts the dog so bad it will quit and run from you!!! You can Punch it all you like with no results other than maybe a broken hand....lol
