Chad Reed's Biography
Chad Reed is a multi-time Supercross champion, winning the U.S. AMA Supercross Championship in 2004 & 2008. In 2009, he won the 2009 AMA 450 National Outdoor Motocross Championship, and the Australian Supercross Series for his fourth time.
After winning the Australian Supercross Championship in 2000, Reed went to Europe in 2001 to ride for Jan DeGroot's factory Kawasaki team. Reed and his KX250 won the MX Grand Prix of Lierop and eventually finishing the year second to multi-time World Champion Mickael Pichon.
Eager to move to America and campaign to world's premiere series, Reed picked up a ride with Yamaha of Troy to ride 125 East Coast Supercross and 125 Nationals aboard the four-stroke YZ250F. Reed won all but two Supercrosses that season and earned the East Coast championship.
Reed moved directly to the 250 class full-time in 2003 with Factory Yamaha. Aboard a YZ250, he won one more race than chief rival Ricky Carmichael, but lost the title at the last round to the Carmichael.
For 2009, Chad has joined the Monster Kawasaki Team aboard the KX 450F.

Chad Reed in 2009

Chad's done a lot of testing on the Suzuki. I think he's riding aggressively, yet smartly as well - he knows it's a long season. Plus he's really matured as a person.

Chad really rode his ass off to get that win at Daytona.Amazing skills.He is a true champ,never gives up.He was running 1:10,1:11 laps.With very few laps left he gained 2 and 3 seconds out of every lap,reeled Lawrence in,took the lead and won. AMAZING !!! He wanted and deserved that win.Love to watch him race.

I don't care what anybody says,that crap that Chisholm pulled in SaltLake City totally ruinedChads focus.He was what,in 16th place and he pulled over and waits,"Even looks over to see them coming",for the leader go by,"James Stewart",then pulls out in front of Reed who is directly behind Stewart.Tries like hell to catch up to Reed.Then,"BLAM",runs right into him.He was aiming right for him.Did'nt even try to turn the corner,but did turn very little when he saw he was a little off his mark.In slow-motion,he hit the brakes about a foot from Reeds back tire.He had plenty of time to slow down.I'm glad I'm not Chad Reed.I would've beat him down with my helmet in the pits after the race.If you don't believe me and you have the race recorded slow-mo from the time he pulls over and watch.You will see what I see....."BULLSH!T"!!! Chad had the ride of his life going,and "THE LOSER CHISHOLM RUINED IT:!!!They were neck to neck,but watch how far Stewart pulled ahead after that "LITTLE" as some people have called it,bump.PAYBACKS ARE A MUTHER F ER!!! Stewart may be good,but.."HE BETTER FEAR CHAD WHEN THEY GO TO VEGAS"!!! First or second,Chad Reed is a REAL CHAMPION!!!

thanks for giving everyone a great show all season. i love the way u ride..so smooth and super fast but not out of control. and me bein 14 ur the idol i look at now. the way u handled things with stewart at vegas on the podium. all he did was talk bad about you and you only said good things. unlike stewart..i wana ride the way you do. your the real champ he didnt deserve it. he was unsports man about everything. thanks chad

Put crap behind you

Hey Reed,
Put all the sh!t you recieved from stewart behind you. I dont know what his dealio is but he's been acting weird, and I have lost respect for him this racing season, and that much more for you. I dont know why Larry Brooks/Stewart are trashing you, and you know that is stuff you might here from a fellow rider but to here that from the guy you brought the title to last year is very dissappointing. Put it all behind you and dont worry what haters have to say your the best and alot of people's hero (mine for sure). Best luck for the future years of your incredible career.

Chad for South Africa
written by Hilton Harper, September 04, 2009
written by Hilton Harper, September 04, 2009
You have proved again to the world that you only have to ride using your brains and not rely on speed and luck to be one of the great riders of the century. We at Rover MX in South Africa congratulate you Chad for sticking it to them. May you show the young riders how it is done for many years to come.

Hey Chad
written by SpartanRacer, December 24, 2009
written by SpartanRacer, December 24, 2009
You are one awesome racer. Your consistancy and ability to ride through major pain (2008 sx season) is both amazing and inspiring. You are one of the reasons that sx is exciting since you are one of the few racers who are fast enough to battle James Stewart.
Good luck for this upcoming sx season, and I cant wait for the mx season. I know you can defend your title and beat Ryan Villopoto!

Whos to Blame?
written by overgrip, January 20, 2010
written by overgrip, January 20, 2010
So Bubba, Bubbas team, Bubbas family, the ama, and dirt wurx are all stupid... you must think the fans are too if you think anyone is gonna believe you weren't trying to crash out Stewart in Vegas. I totally called this one (Title: BOLD MOVE) except i gave you way too much credit it only took you 2 races not mid season to blame everyone else.Please don't hurt anyone, ride your own race... don't be a Choad Chad.

Dude what are you smokin? how was chad trying to hurt anyone? when has he ever taken anyone out? vegas was nothin and bubba is a very very bad loser when things go wrong for him and the only reason chad took the kawa ride was cause suzuki were cutting back their costs and took on 2 rookies to save money!! If you won a team an outdoor champ and then they said seeya how would you handle it? and chad never blames anyone for his losses except himself so get over yourself cause you are sounding like that very biased comentator Ralph ( i think i have a man crush on Bubba) sheehan!!
