However, IMO James, RC, or Reed could have been on any good team since the start of their pro career and they still would have came out as the three best guys. If Dungey doesn't specifically have DeCoster and then later on RC, and then later on , Goose, he isn't having the same last two years. Sam you have absolutly no idea what you are talking about. Dungey is one of the hardest workers out there, bike and fittness wise. He will work circles around everyone over the past ten years except Carmichael. He is a better test rider then anyone out there right now. He won 2 title without Goose, how did that happen? He would have won the same titles this year without him but his old mechanic took a different step in the company. Dungey is extremely inteligent and a very hard worker, that is why he won, not the so called magic of DeCoster. Exactly DMG. What SamIwas doesn't seem to get is that there is actually someone else out there who has the desire, want, heart, and drive to become the next multiple Champion in SX and Outdoors. If Dungey can keep it together for next year as he did during SX and Outdoor this year we could see him winning multiple SX and outdoors. I personally would like to see that. However there are still loads of other up and coming talent from the graduating Lites class who could give him a possible run. It is too hard to predict this soon but it sure as hell looks like its going to be one hell of an upcoming SX season. SamIwas has never been on a bike. He has never worked his tail off for weeks so he could get a top 9 at the area qualifier and make it to LL's. He's never watched it all go up in smoke because something on the bike decided to tear up that day. He's never had that insane feeling in the pit of his stomach when the board turns sideways and all that work flashes through your mind while your vision narrows to the line in front of you. It's hard to appreciate a guy like Dungey who puts the work in week in and week out and has the results show up on the track. How can you if you've never experienced how hard it is to accomplish?

What do you think just any knucklehead off the street can come in, suit up, moto and place in the top 5? If so you are seriously flawed in your perception of a world class professional motocross rider. As I have stated before Short was picked over Stewie because he was the best choice at the time. We now see that stewie can't run the distance. Short can. Stewie is outta shape and can't run the pace. Short is in shape and runs the pace. Stewie needs to get back to training and maybe make it next year. Team is picked. Live with it.

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:30:11 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/410743#410743 Press release from Youthstream .... LIEROP (THE NETHERLANDS), 4 September 2010 – One of the icons of the FIM Motocross World Championship, Joshua Coppins announced today during a press conference at the Grand Prix of Benelux that he will put an end to his 17 year long Grand Prix career at the end of the 2010 season, which will include also the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations by the end of the month in the USA. The New Zealander has taken no World Titles but won a total of 11 Grand Prix’s in the MX1 class. Having ridden for Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha, Coppins faced a new challenge in 2010 when he joined the Aprilia Racing squad to steer the Italian twin cylinder bike. The 33 year old is currently placed in 11th position in the FIM Motocross World Championship. In this occasion Coppins was handed a commemorative plate by Youthstream’s President Mr. Giuseppe Luongo and a special canvas with pictures of the New Zealander’s best moments of his Yamaha career by Yamaha Europe. COPPINS’ CAREER IN THE FIM MOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP A young Coppins raced his maiden Grand Prix in Australia, next to his home country New Zealand where he had shown to be one of the most promising riders in the National field. It was 1993 when Coppins and his Suzuki 125cc machine lined up for the Australian Grand Prix in Manjimup. His first full season in the FIM Motocross World Championship was in 1995. Onboard a Suzuki, Coppins finished the 250cc Championship in 41st place after scoring just two points-one at the first GP and one at the last GP. The following year Coppins improved on his results to take an eventual 23rd place but as he puts it, Coppins was still “surviving Europe” in his first years alone in the continent. Still on Suzuki, in 1997 and 1998 Coppins came closer to the top ten, finishing 17th and 13th respectively. The latter year was the one of Coppins’ breakthrough, with the Kiwi gaining skills, experience and especially confidence. 1999 was a special year for Coppins, who finished seventh in the World and turned a few heads around. Despite riding for a private team, he had beaten the factory Suzuki riders and after many years as privateer, the Factory Suzuki Team noticed him and offered him a ride for the following year. Coppins’ dream was coming true as he accepted the offer and lined up even stronger in the year 2000. Coppins stormed into the top five of the 2000 Championship onboard a works Suzuki. He took an eventual fourth place in the Championship and collected a good bunch of podium finishes at his first year as factory rider. In 2001 Coppins and Suzuki were going for the World Title but it was the other Factory Suzuki rider Mickael Pichon who took the number one plate eventually. Coppins instead marked his last season on Suzuki with a sixth place in the Championship. Missing out on his maiden Grand Prix victory was tough to accept for Coppins, therefore the Kiwi moved elsewhere to seek new motivation and success. Coppins moved into Corrado Maddii’s Honda squad, managed by the Vice World Champion himself, in 2002. According to Coppins’ opinion, that was the year he changed from a good rider to a top rider. Coppins was often on the podium and took a valuable second place in the Championship behind eventual Champion Pichon – a living legend in Motocross. 2002 also marked the meeting in between Coppins and his long time mechanic Fabio Santoni of Italy, who would follow him until 2009. 2003 formed a new association in the FIM Motocross World Championship with Coppins joining the CAS Honda Team. Their first season ended with a bitter 12th place because Coppins was out for most of the season due to an injury he picked up while racing in America during the off season-he broke both legs and his back. 2004 and the arrival of the MX1 class would see a stronger Coppins though. In a season dominated by Everts and Pichon –respectively first and second in the Championship- Coppins worked his way through the field to finish an eventual third and even beating the two in a couple of occasions by winning heats in South Africa and Great Britain, the latter event marking also Coppins maiden GP win. That was Coppins’ rebuilding year and the Kiwi was ready to try again his assault to the World Title. In 2005 Coppins battled it out for the Title with Everts and fellow New Zealander Townley. Everts took the Title but Coppins was once again second, dominating both the Swedish and South African GP’s and putting pressure on the Belgian throughout the season. Once the Championship ended, Coppins took part in the Motocross of Nations with Team New Zealand finishing a creditable fourth. 2006 was another year holding World Title hopes for Coppins but a shoulder injury before the start of the season ruined the New Zealander’s plans. Coppins could resume racing only at the eighth GP in Matterley Basin, where he was on the podium straight away. Coppins will be remembered for his 2006 season as the only rider capable of stopping eventual Champion Everts’ winning streak by taking the Northern Ireland Grand Prix, Coppins’ best race ever according to his opinion – there have been no other GP winners in 2006 other than Coppins and Everts. Coppins would keep being on the podium until the last GP of the season in Ernee, France, where he took fifth overall. A podium at the Motocross of Nations with Team New Zealand was another consolation for a bittersweet season. In 2007 Coppins moved into the works Yamaha Team to replace legendary Everts, who had retired in 2006. The New Zealander was the clear favourite for the Title and once the season started he took an impressive series of eight podiums in a row including five wins. Unfortunately, the Czech GP marked Coppins’ hardest moment with a crash damaging his left shoulder at the moment Coppins was leading the Championship by 107 points. From then on Coppins was never able to recover and take back the leadership of the series. He ended a very bitter third with Ramon taking the Title. Looking back at it, Coppins reckons it was a very good year but with a very bitter finale. 2008 was also a tough season for Coppins who struggled against the opposition and could only finish fifth in the Championship. Being still bitterly disappointed from 2007, Coppins had to face also a hard opposition from the younger riders having moved up to MX1 and that was a factor he reckons he was not ready to face back then. Three podiums and one Grand Prix win handed Coppins the renewal with the factory Yamaha Team for the 2009 season. In 2009 Coppins celebrated his last year with Yamaha. The Kiwi struggled but his fighting spirit made him finish an eventual sixth in the Championship, missing the top five by just 10 points. He won the Bulgarian Grand Prix and added other two podiums to his season’s records. 2010 instead meant a new challenge for Coppins, moving to Aprilia to take the twin cylinder machine of the Italian manufacturer to success. Instead the experience with Aprilia unveiled to be tougher than expected, with Coppins taking the first half of the season to adapt to the bike. Taking a long series of top ten finish, at the day of the announcement of his retirement from GP racing Coppins is placed 11th in the FIM Motocross World Championship. After this Grand Prix and the last one of the season in Fermo next weekend, Coppins will also race the Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations in Denver, USA, on the September 26 weekend. Before the end of the year, Coppins plans to move down under in New Zealand with his family which he formed while he was in Europe. On Monday an official announcement will explain Coppins’ full plans for 2011 but the Kiwi wishes to remain involved in the sport anyhow Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:11:19 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/410076/10/20/page-3#410735 For sure Go-Lo ...

I think Jlaw proved to us that you can be fast without the backing of a "great team". He has showed up in his own rig and nearly won several times. I think that is a great thing with the stock bikes, is that nearly everyone is on the same playing field. Unlike other forms of racing, Tony Stewart, Kanaan etc would be nothing without the huge costs of parts. However on dirt its strength and determination. I for one like reed, and will never question his judgement. For one, what he did with coming to the US from austrailia and then europe is a big accomplisment. People will never forget the years him js and rc, for whatever reason, crashing injuries etc, were close in points. Dungey can go to honda, yami, anywhere, and win, its just like when the yankees win, cashman gets the credit, when all he does is sign checks. at the end of the day, talent and determination is what takes over. Dungey cant win unless all the top guys are not racing anyone who really thinks that is in for a big shock Sat, 04 Sep 2010 06:15:01 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/410584#410616 When I interviewed him at the Brisbane round last year - said selected rounds only.

Here's my take on why Hondas sell better, and again, this is just my personal opinion...I've ridden and raced Hondas for years, and one of the biggest reasons is reliability. I know, Hondas break to, but they have the reputation of being one of the most reliable bikes out there. Unfortunately for Suzuki, they have a reputation for breaking; remember the side cases a few years ago. If Suzuki wants to be a top seller, they need to address this problem. Just for an example: one of the guys I ride with has a '07 or '08 Suzuki 450 and is on his third motor. In the class I race, (50+ experts) the guy who is leading the points right now is on a '04 Honda 450. I know, there could be many reasons for this, but I think most people would look at this and say "I'd rather buy a Honda". I know that Suzukis handle really well, and the 2010 Suzukis are suppose to be really good, but until they get rid of the reputation for being less reliable, it will be harder to sell them. you are right they used to be garbage, using cheap fastners and what not but my last suzuki (o5 RM 250) was bullet proof. i think they arew going in the right direction.

That is your evidence against me? Read DMG's post Yes I read DMG's post on riding sand. And I'm saying Southwick had plenty of line choices. Not everyone was just railing every corner on the outside. Southwick has lost a lot of sand since it's days and it's getting down to hardpack every second moto and real rough. You can argue all you want about that track having no line choices but it was pretty obvious to me everyone wasn't following each other. And that track get's so rough so everyones looking for the smooth lines which weren't really there. Pourcel is a bad mofo on any track. He can ride all conditions from what I've seen. Just a bad moto,had nothing to do with the track. Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:44:28 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/409759#409879 Yep. They are still going at here in CA after that dude went people bowling with his truck in the desert. Now they are talking about not letting any off-road events happen on BLM land. It is a shame to for the fans, racers and the family's who lost loved ones. Almost every interview I read from the families who lost people that day said that they do not blame anybody and they knew there was always a chance something like this could happen. Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:48:39 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/409674#409876 Yup, I use my PS3 controller. Download the MotioninJoy drivers, which will let you use your controller through bluetooth. This is my configuration: Left stick: leaning Left stick click: sit down Right stick: throttle (down)/rear brake (up) L1: downshift R1: upshift L2: clutch R2: front brake When you start playing you're gonna have trouble going in a straight line. The counter steering will also piss the shit out of you. Just stick with it for a day or two, and you'll get the hang of it. You'll want to eventually get the stability meter turned down to somewhere around 0-20 (it starts at 100). The lower it gets, the more control you'll have over the bike, but it also becomes more difficult. Oh, and whoops are a bitch.

I passed by an accident once by my house. Saw a teenage girl sitting in a crumpled car on the side of the road, she had hit a tree. She was crying and just sitting there staring ahead at her busted up winshield as emergency crews worked around her. Turns out as I read in the paper a day or two later she was on her cell phone chatting and lost control of her car....her little brother died in the accident.

I hope they send him some parts for the last few rounds. The only thing I do say is that when the time came to develop the bike, Mike basically told the team manager to eat it and got on a plane and went home.

It's just something different. Our local amateur races on Sundays have many 2 strokes back in the classes. Sounds awesome and the riders are enjoying the qualities that they bring. I must say at HP I was waiting for Brian to come around to where we were sitting. I asked my hubby "where is he"? He said listen..... and I heard that sound. WOW was so sweet. Everyone knew it would be tough for him to get in. Brian his last full amateur year was on the 250 2 stroke. He and Michael Willard battled it out every weekend. Great racing. It was pretty even in the win department. We actually had people wondering what Brian had in his bike, he was so good on it.(he loves racing the 2 Stroke) They couldn't except that his talent was a big part of it. We are just looking for him to qualify. Home track and a tribute to the 125 2 stroke and the memories that it brings. SWEET!

I think James has had "many wake up calls" which he may not have quite awakened to. But based on what I've seen I think he has quite a few more years in him (if he rides smart). And I think he genuinely wants to race. Reed on the other hand I don't know about. I think he may just be over it. Something tells me we'll see him at A1 but it won't surprise me if he retires before that race. I pretty much agree...although it's all speculation, of course. I think James will regroup and be back strong at A1...although I don't think he'll dominate like he has in the past. He still has youth and ego on his side, and I think he'll give it another year or two at least. The competition has definately (at least Dungey) gotten up to "Bubba Speed"...so he'll either step it up, or become another "former champion". Is it just me, or does Chad just not look like he's having a good time any more? I know he's sick and that's probably a lot of it...but he has a family now, and added responsibilities. He sure ain't broke...and is still young enough to do something totally different and be successful at it. I wouldn't be shocked if he announced his retirement though. Personally, I'd love to see them both at A1 in top form!

I don't care what it's called, wether it's called a vacation or leave of absence or it's referred to as a pilgrimage. The point is that he wasn't on his bike. And with a broken wrist, I would expect him to be able to run and workout the rest of his body after a couple of weeks. But hey, that's just what I would do. Well that was the whole conversation. That running in your little tight biker shorts doesn't prepare you for the actual race. I'm sure James trained alot. Nobody suggested James was out of shape, they said he wasn't in 100% race shape. Which most agreed that it would take him a few races. Out of shape, and not in race shape are two totally different things IMO. Do you expect him to be in race shape, if he's not actually racing? It's a free country, he can waste the time, and then come back like he did last week if that's what he wants to do. Agreed. He looked totally worn out after the first moto. I take that to mean that he wasn't training hard enough while he was off the bike. I can understand not being in race shape, but he seemed to be a long ways from in shape. You may disagree. I'm going to call them how I see them. Hopefully he'll watch Rocky III a few times and come back in January focused and unstoppable. :) Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:50:23 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/523/view/408727#408727 Women's AMA National Motocross Champion Ashley Fiolek interview! http://www.supercross.com/features/ashley-fiolek-two-time-ama-womens-motocross-champion-two-time-espn-x-games-supercross-winner :) Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:57:22 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/408531/10/30/page-4#408722 davistld01 wrote: FinchFan394 wrote: davistld01 wrote: Rideredmx2 wrote: Im glad hes not going to ride the last national and just concentrate on next years supercross season thats very smart in my book,Cant wait till A1 this years supercross series is going to be killer So...it's cool for Villopoto to not come back, but to hang out and get ready for the 2011 SX series, but Stewart is a punk for coming back and then admitting he wasn't up to it, and hanging out and getting ready for 2011?

It's generally even a first concern for people who can afford things. DesNations isn't that big in reguards to the world wide stage of sports, so teams sometimes drop out at the first given good excuse when their dollar (or effort) sees little return. With them having a disappointing 2008 and 2009 (finished 9th), the old money excuse provides a hideout to not compete, becuase you would have to assume that they have a bad taste in their mouths from thost last two years and really just kinda said, "is it worth it"....No (to them anyways). It does suck though, especially for Tyler. Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:49:18 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/405264/10/20/page-3#408448 maxx wrote: It wont be worth watching then will it.

A few months ago I said I was serious about getting into killer shape for MX. I've dropped 11 pounds (down to 156), been running as often as I can, and hitting the weights a bit as well. I'm not training as hard or for as long as I'd like yet, but I'm moving towards the goal, and I'm very serious. So, this morning I went mountain biking with some friends. It had been 6 or 8 months, and wouldn't you know it, they picked the steepest, nastiest, evil place to ride you can imagine! It was practically straight up, and it almost killed me! (coming down was great though). I felt like a chain smoker in his 90's. It seems that the running did nothing to help my endurance on a bike. I'm not running that fast at this point (8:15 mile pace for 3 miles) but I expected to do better. I'm now considering switching the majority of my cardio program to mountain biking. I may or may not be the fastest racer on the planet but I certainly want to be in killer shape, with killer endurance. So, the the question is: How are you training for endurance?

You tell her to get back in the kitchen and bake somthing.Woman have no business talking about motocroos bikes or motocross.That KTM is a piece of shit.If it was not Aleassi would be up front. mikes bike might be a piece, but only because he dont know how to set it up, and plus when you watch him ride, he looks like he dont even want to be out there. he dont look aggressive at all, and he's always looking behind him, never focusing forward! i have a 350 as well, and it is a totally awesome bike! it dont have the low end grunt like my 450, but thats the only noticable difference. the 350 is way easier to corner with do to be lighter. i bet my lap times on the 350 were just as fast, if not a little faster than the 450. keep in mind, last sunday was my first time on the 350, still all stock, 450 has suspension work done! i'll have to do a real lap comparison this sunday at redbud's open practice. So because your prpduction bike is good for you, Mike's bike should be good. Hmm ok. it should be! he's got all the resources that i dont! i'm sure the motor in his rips, and i'm sure he's got way better suspension then my production 350 has. so whats his excuse for getting beat by privateers that dont have all the nice equipment? my guess would have to be him, can't see it being all the bikes fault like everyone claims it to be!

The first 125 champion was Marty Smith who was 1974/75 and rode a few more seasons on the 125 too. Pretty sure Broc and Mark both rode more seasons than those they won titles. Hmmm, guess I was just basing this on guys like Reed and RC 1-2 years in the class. Didn't realize there were so many riders even before them who stayed in the 250s for so long. Still, isn't 4-5 in the tiddler class something of a waste of time? rc stayed on the 125 for 3 yrs in mx, he only moved to the 250 for sx in 99, n reed was already an open class rider in aus then europe before he had to step down to the lites to start his us career, hence only 1 yr on the lights.

I made it a point to reach each and every comment. I feel very appreciative of those who left comments, and I will try and consolidate these when I make a follow up with the AMA. I didn't make a category for all the comments (Most of them were BRAAAAP B) ) so I divided them into the most common ones: Number of Comments - 629 out of 1890 signatures Two Strokes and Rule Change Good for the Sport - 114 or 18% Cheaper to Maintain and more Economical - 163 or 26% Equal Displacements - 68 or 11% Less Sound Problems - 14 or 2% Displacement of 200 and 400 for 2-strokes - 7 or 1% Displacement of 175 and 350 for 2-strokes - 9 or 1% Rule Change would benefit privateers - 36 or 6% Would provide an Option for racers - 20 or 3% That totals out to 431 replies out of 629, so 198 replies did not fall into these categories.

What happened to the "come back and destroy everyone" mantra? At Unadilla, Moto 1 was probably an accurate protrayal of where he stands right now. Moto 2 was more about his head and his heart than fitness, abilty or bike setup. I don't think anyone oubts how fast the dude can be, and is right now. I mean, he finished third after not racing since January. That's incredible. But what I - and most others - question about him is his passion for racing, his desire to do whatever it takes to get back on top, his will to win. That stupid TV show ruined a guy that has a very legitimate shot and becoming one of the legends in the sport. One of the guys that I tell my kids "I saw that guy race and it was amazing." He pissed it all away to get drunk with Todd Potter. To be a TV star. Point being, before you predict 2-2 at Southwick, make sure he has enough to "gain" by even showing up at the gate. Where are you pulling all of this? You don't think James still wants to win? If you really believe everything you see on his stupid "reality" show, then I don't know what to think... Where am I pulling this? Dude, he QUIT a race because he wasn't up front and then wouldn't talk to anyone. He QUIT. I can't remember a top guy EVER quitting a moto because he didn't get a good start and couldn't manage to make his way through the pack. Riders with the heart of a champion don't quit. They do what Blake Wharton did in the 2nd 250 moto and race their a$$es off to get back up front. BW was in the back of the pack and rode his way to a top 10. JS pulled off the track. NO heart, NO passion, NO desire. You are basing your whole opinion of the guy because he didn't finish the second moto in his first national in almost two years. His first race in 6 months after being on the bike again for only 5 weeks? Seriously I get that you don't like the guy but let's be rational. He didn't quit because his wrist wasn't ready. He didn't quit because of fitness. He quit because he was acting like a spiled little brat. If I had ever done something like that, my dad and my uncle would have kicked my a$$ all the way back to the house. And made me man up and face the music about my decision, not release a statement days later. I am being completely rational. Well it was rational to say he'd come back and destroy the field. I mean look what he did in 08 when he came off the couch and went 24-0. Time off doesnt mean a thing, guys don't lose speed. NOW, it's a completely differnet story. He hasn't raced a national in 2 years whatd you expect? Craziness, i can't keep up...

And I do have some French friends and there is that arrogance but not as bad as most who haven't even been to Mexico think.

James was getting a good amount of cheers moto one, hell I clapped I was glad to see another rider make it out there to compete, but all I heard the rest of the afternoon from his fans was...."where did he go, why did he just pull off the track?". Old and young fans alike were extremely dissapointed. Another thing I find laughable about the sensitive fans on here, not wanting to hear from those who don't like another rider. This is a sport, fans, much like other sports, have their favorites, and those they don't like. Their reasons are their own, if you want to misconstrue it into something more malicious then just not liking how the rider races or carries himself, that is your problem. Think about how things would be on a board that combined Eagles fans with Cowboys fans for example. Well here you have that, fans of rider A, fans of rider B, fans of rider C....etc... All in one place, of course there will be some dissention. Very well Said 426Hemi, i couldn't agree more. and i've been in some of the chat rooms/discussions with Cowboys and Eagles fans and believe me nothing that is said about JS or any other rider even compares to some of the stuff that those chat rooms/discussions produce. jjb.

Dudes scary,he basically is a sponge that's taken everything he's learned from racing with RV,JS, and RC and the rest of the field and turned into this totally unique Hybrid that he is today. James is gonna have to get his head clear with all this BS reality show and SX only contracts to beat this guy. He needs to get with a good team and back to listening to big James and his trainer and concentrating on a championship. This guys just bringing too much baggage to the table mentally.

On the 450s - a totally different scenario and Dungey will have no problems with Pourcel. Right now I am interested in what Pourcel will be riding - in particulas who is supplying it and what level it will be. My understanding is that his contract with PC ends the day after the last national. Pourcel beat Dungey more than the opposite and this is a one race scenario. That is unless you expect Pourcel's engine to blow up. Mitch will probably help Pourcel out for one race.

(footnote: Hannah famously smashed his Factory OW's radiator with a hammer because it handled so poorly - the radiator was mounted on the forks). I first watched Roger ride a RN73(?) with Ribi forks on - long before he moved to Honda. I think by the time he played with them at Honda both front and rear technology had moved on. He must have thought something about them to continue testing at Honda. Hey there Russ. Looking back, I think the Ribi RC Hondas were more of a "statement bike" than anything else. I mean look at 'em! They blew minds. Even if they never saw a track, it was going to show the other manufacturers that Honda was hell bent on pushing technology into the freak zone to stay out front as the leader. Those few years before the production rule were a whirlwind of technology - breathless just remembering it. Honda had most competitors psyched out before they got to the gate. Quoting Hannah again, I think he said "the only way anybody could beat the Factory Hondas is if we snuck into the pits and let the air out of their tires." Funny and nearly true by 1984/1985.

That is absolutely hilarious! :-D :-D :-D YZMan...I'm not weak minded. Believing that a guy who has 2 titles is the greatest ever is weak minded . I undertand the guy is really good, but let me break it down for you. Tiger Woods is an awesome golfer - everyone knows that. Until he passes Nicklaus in Major victories he is not the greatest. See how that works? As the Nature Boy once put it: "If you wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man!" JS7, while loaded with talent, has failed to obtain any other type of milestones other than the 2 championships. He is not, at this time, the greatest MXer in history. RC rolled off 7 straight titles . The inability to grasp this simple, baseline concept makes you weak minded. I never said that he was the greatest ever. But since ur sayin it, then u must b the one who thinks he is. But he is the man to beat right now IMO. And before the knuckle heads start talkin crap. Im not talkin about this current MX series. Do you know how many times we have seen a post like this in regards to the "Part-Timer" If I had a dime for every time I have seen this statement about JS7 "He is the MAN to beat and I am not talking about this current MX/SX series" I would be a rich man by now. The guy was suppose to be the man to beat this past SX series and what did he get a 20th place. Now he is coming back at the end of this Outdoor series for four meaningless races due to the fact that the Champion for this years Outdoor title has just about been decided and yet again "he is the MAN to beat" It doesn't matter what the heck happens with JS7 these next four races the BIGGER story will be that Dungey will be moving closer to wrapping up a perfect rookie year of racing in the premier class. STFU! U always have to down play everything I am not playing down nothing. These are just the plain facts about this stuff.

But like I said before , he's at home so.....might be O'K! France being out helps too!

To get a lap down, then run into Dungey so JS can win the race. the funny thind is Kyle is a better rider than anyone that posts on this site, and the kid has come a long way. Nik do you think you could even wash Jame's bike properly. I could sure as hell wash it better than DMG.

Nope!!!!! Who was there last year? I think it was Dungey, Tedesco and Wiemer. They still won if I'm not mistaken. This year, the team of Dungey, Short and Trey look way stronger on paper. So my question is why does the U.S. need an attention diva when they can have "real" motocrossers who deserve the spot and will represent the U.S. with dignity. This coming from a Canadian. I do beleave you are correct Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:21:31 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/405637#405666 I see a HUGE proublem with this track,It NOT A VIDEO GAME,You don't get a Extra life!!!

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:47:26 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/404667#405619 thanks man Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:31:41 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/1/view/405481/10/20/page-3#405601 Here's my take. I don't think James will be on the Des Nations team unless he goes 1-1, unless they get the okay from Short (if he rides strong at dilla). The reality cameras will be all over James for his instint emotions good or sad. Remember Short rides for Red Bull Honda and believe you me they do have the ability to put pressure for a purpose. If that isn't the case, I feel for Short. I know James is the fastest rider but it was proven last year we will survive. Remember Short for some reason is very strong there and if the race was somewhere else I would not be sayin this. ;) Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:25:35 -0500 http://www.supercross.com/forum/2/view/405372#405590 I had one of these bikes and they're badass.......every bit as fast as the YZ model and awesome for desert and off road with the 18" rear wheel. I rode mine hard for 2 years and never touched the top end. Yamaha should still be selling this bike.

Actually, 10 seconds less, and Sonnen would have won. That was the sickest fight.Chael came in and did exactly what he said he was going to do. That was his win in my book. That wasn't Chael's win, he got outsmarted and got cought in a triangle with 90 seconds left. Are you crazy. Silva got lucky. Weathered the storm? He got his @ss handed to him for 4 and a half rounds and happen to get the triangle. Lucky? Look, a guy with top shelf Jits skills does'nt get lucky. He was working that move trying to slip it in for 2 rounds and he finally snuck it in. Sonnen was to busy trying to strike him he didn't realize Silva was getting him in high guard. It was'nt luck, it was experience. I wanted Chael to win, but he did'nt.You have to be impressed with the way Silva survived the pounding he took and was composed enough to pull that. Do you compete in any fights? I saw on vital that you do MMA training. I just hope they give Sonnen a rematch soon, he got closer to beating Silva than anyone I've seen. I have competed but not any more, I am to old and my body Can't recover like it used to. I do still go to the gym and train with them, its agreat workout. Yea I think they should give Sonnen another shot, but I would bet he won't lose the same way.
