All relatively old, but just came across this video after a TLD gear intro vid...

Not very flattering seeing it all put together like this. Are Friese and BamBam related?

Kicking Gilmore over at the 27 second mark is beyond dirty. hahaha.

As for "growing up". People dont change, they just learn to hide their shit a little better.

The leg out on his team mate was an Alessi move also...

Granted the whole vid is on red bikes, but it's still not a good look!

how many hours per day do you beat up your body to win championships?
nothing wrong with wanting to win badly. nobody ever got seriously hurt apart from their egos.

Besides sandbagging the east coast title for 5 years, how many titles has he won exactly?


Edit: he won 2 out of 3 titles, I stand corrected

Your not smart! How do you sandbag for a title in a professional class? When a team like Geico honda wants to pay you the money he was being paid to win titles, you take it!

For some people, certain championships aren't championships I guess, weird.

You're* first of all. Calling someone not smart and can't spell the first word correctly, bravo.

Huh? So it's not a real championship because of a rule where you can pick a top 10 number?

Anyone have the interview of him in amateurs talking about how he thought some of the competition would have something for him?

He seems to have grown up a bit. Although that Unadilla move was this past summer, and he did flip off Kenny at Indiana. I remember his rookie year he was riding dirty with Pourcel in practice, and Pourcel knocked him down in the main and won, calling him a "little kid."

are his 25 amateur titles not real as well?

someone please call cooper webb to tell him to calm down. his #1 plate apparently doesn't mean anything on vitalmx. all the years he worked his ass off were for nothing. what a fool ey... really thinks he is a champion.

this video got brought up a couple weeks ago by some dork trying to paint a shitty picture.

i'll say what i said last week, some asshole with too much time dug through hundreds of videos to put together a compilation of Barcia's dumb moves in his past. who's the real dick here?

He's such a bitch, loves to dish it out but can't take it back. When challenged he runs a mile.

I think Barcia learned to control his aggression better after a couple of years in the 450 class. The same cannot be said for Friese

not really true . he had a few bad moves last year .and that move ,whipping in front of K Roc was complete BS imo (about as stupid as it gets) . Hell even his move and the start of the heat race last week end was BS

That move on Roczen was in his first or second 450 year. That's why I said after a couple of years. Since then he's learned that he can't push these guys around as much and cleaned his act up a bit imo

NO COMPARISON...... Barcia is aggressive. Friese is DANGEROUS!! Out of all that video, you rarely saw the other rider go down when Barcia stuffed them. GET A CLUE!!

You've got a valid point there, but you've also got to admit, he had a lot of material to work with...

I remember watching Barcia his first pro year in early practice at the Atlanta SX. He literally hit almost every one on the track during his session. Knocked down about four guys and pushed one out over the base of a triple. While it was entertaining, it was dangerous as hell.

With that said, he's really seemed to settle down the last few years. Maybe it's maturity, or maybe it's self discipline, or maybe he just hit the 450 class and recognized it's necessary for self preservation, but he doesn't do that much anymore.
