Goon riding is a term used in the motocross community to describe a style of riding that is characterized by a lack of skill and control on the bike. It involves riders who act like they have no clue how to ride, often making exaggerated movements and taking unnecessary risks. Goon riders are known for wearing expensive gear and riding high-end bikes, despite their lack of skill. Some common characteristics of goon riding include:
- Running your visor too low or too high
- Talking yourself up and leading people to believe youre fast, but having no skill or speed on the track
- Making exaggerated movements and taking unnecessary risks
While goon riding is generally seen as a negative thing in the motocross community, it has also become a source of entertainment for some. There are videos on YouTube showcasing "masters of goon riding" and featuring well-known riders like Ken Roczen and Chase Sexton. One of the most famous goon riders is Ronnie Mac, who has gained a cult following for his over-the-top antics on and off the track.
