He just finished off a perfect season. I wonder how this guy would do in SX once he got used to it? He's a pretty amazing rider!

IMO, in order to be successful at Supercross, he would have to completely change the way he rides a bike currently, and considering how long he's been doing Endurocross, I think thats something he'd struggle with. If he started preparing for A1 now? I don't see him qualifying for the main, maybe he'd just scrape through to the night show, but that's just my opinion.

Wow, what a talent. But going fast on a mx/sx track is a complete different thing. Unless he has done lots of it in the past, he would actually suck. The fastest enduro/gncc guys can't do it, he couldn't. Their's alot of cross-over in different types of moto, but speed on a mx/sx track is not one if them. Unless you have the speed first, then you can do well at lots of other disciplines. Probably not trials though, I think Teddy would have all the best mx/sx guys there.

Depends on whether or not he's as comfortable being 40' high in the air as he is attacking a pile of rocks WFO.

Yeah, it was a decent double, but nothing crazy really.

The guy has some of the most amazing bike skills I've ever seen, but SX is quite a different animal than what he is used to...

I think when Ryno started racing GNCC's he said "as good a these guys are, none of them could crack the top 20 at a national"

All the best motorcycle racers are motocross guys from the start. JMB had some success in motoGP and was one of the best ever

The guy's a natural on a bike. I'm not sure how old he is, but if he had enough time to adapt to the speed and flight times of SX, he might be able to be a top ten guy. Actually, it was Mike Brown's ability at crossing over, and Ricky Dietrich's as well, that made my wonder about it. When I think of it, he'd probably do better at Arenacross to start with, then try SX.

I think he'd win if you had to go up through an elevator, through all the concession stands, up and down stadium stairs and

balconies, through the press-box, over the Toyota demo trucks, passing through Erin Bates bra ( without much of

a skirmish) and lengthwise across the starting gate, ending up in a pool of Dippin' Dots. Yes, he' d win. Dammit all.

* The announcers would still pronounce his name " Moose-Can" or " Freezey " or something...

He actually said that about WORCS racers, then he couldn't ever hold it together long enough to bring home a championship and he had to eat crow that those guys beat him.

Then shortly after that, Dietrich made an appearance at some Nationals and cracked the top 5.

Bobby Garrison who also raced WORCS when Ryno said that has also cracked the top 20 at Nationals.

Ryno is one of the biggest dipshits in our sport, I wish he'd go away.

He has the skill but took another route. Sx is too specialized. Is like saing if Villo could compete with Toni Bou, probablly, but too late.

The guys just a douche.

And no, he didn't slap my girlfriend, but I've seen him threaten a female race official at a WORCS race before and then fist fight his mechanic in the pit area, Hoodie woulda beat his ass if Webb hadn't pulled tham apart.

I think with some time on the sx tracks , i think he would make the show, and could make the gate at a national. Dudes got skills.

Strang grew up racing MX in australia, and has said pretty much all he trains on is MX tracks. Taddy doesnt have that background, he doesnt have that skill set drilled into him from an early age so much that its second nature.

He's a trials rider who has progressed to MX bikes. Had he had the same background riding MX and SX from a young age, who knows. But i cant see him making a night show now days, i also dont see him trying.

I think a better question would be, how would Taddy go at the ISDE or a GNCC championship.

He did a GNCC and got a top 10 overall I believe.

He also has some respectable finishes in EWC and other Enduros in Europe.

Different skill set. That being said it doesnt mean he couldnt learn it, but it would take him a while and probably not worth it to him. It would be fun to see though.

He's got the corner speed.. He does fairly good in the World Enduro Series and those guys are incredibly fast!

Taddy Blazusiak has 5 Red Bull Erzberg Rodeo wins, just to finish that race alone is amazing. Taddy Blazusiak is part cat part honey badger.
