Ok, I'm getting the same feeling now as I did back in '96. I don't hate RV, but I'm getting to the point where I don't even care to watch the rest of the SX season. I'll still watch, but with much less enthusiasm. It's not RV's fault, but we're halfway through the season and what 28 point lead. Like the MC era, he demoralizes everyone early and cruises to the win and the title. Am I the only one feeling this way, or do some of you guys GET what I'm saying here. Guess I'm just spoiled and want to see a tight battle for the title all the way to Vegas.
Alright, commence the pounding on my post.
Alright, commence the pounding on my post.
I would say he dominated last year with the amount of wins he had
The Shop
guys all have injuries during the year and there was always at least 3 of these guys on the line in every race. I think RV1 earned his 10 wins, he trains hard, and does what it takes to win championships. If you think MC would have won as much
as he did with CR22, JS7, RD5, DM18, JB51, TC41, and RV1 on the line then more power to you, I don't think he would have.
MC was always my favorite rider and Jeff Stanton number 2, but in my opinion I think MC is alright with RV running his #'s,
#1 and #2. Go RV1
Get back to me when he has a 13 or 14 win season in SX and or goes 24-0 in outdoors! Now that's dominant!
i will agree he was much more dominant last year (in race wins), but because of the huge points deficit last year he wasn't as comfortably in the lead as he is now. to watch him absolutely destroy everyone at Daytona WITH a 23 point lead already established just shows he isn't backing this thing in and switching to championship mode.
the competition has been tougher than ever this year, more winners than in the past, RV only has 3 wins and he already has a 28 point lead. pretty impressive if you ask me.
If RV wins the supercross championship this year, he will be 2nd all time in major championships won. 2nd only to RC.
Ahead of Stewart, Reed, McGrath, Stanton, Bayle, Ward, Bailey, Johnson, Barnett, O'Mara, or any other rider in the history of our sport.
So get back to me when you grow a fucking brain.
Edit: Forgot he is 4-0 in the MXdN as well.
to diminish the accomplishments of 2 great champions by stating the obvious to your last stinkbait statement. When RV1's
career is over I think he will be ranked in the top 5 all time with more championships than anyone. but RC, now that's pretty
dominant. Go RV1
You always find the negatives in RV's career.....and totally overlook the positives. Gotta try and knock him down on a fucking MX message board because " Your " favorite rider has failed to deliver. Keep living in LaLa land there brotha.
Pit Row
I guess you missed James' torn ACL at the 1st round and Chad coming in not fully recovered
ah so we get to the bottom of it.
JS7 injured ACL. but if i remember correctly, James finished the year out and even nailed down a win.
Reed not in shape does not equal injury.
what about everyone else? you did say "all the top guys were injured"
No, didn't think so.
?? You can't be serious here. Haha....wow! Dude I don't even know what to say. If you think RV has had a " walk in the park " with all his championships.....I seriously don't know what to say. When we lose riders after A1......the season actually started as one of the most stacked fields ever. It's been like this for a few years. I'm not sure what races you are watching man.....but it sure isn't the same ones everyone else is.
more to SX and Outdoors than wins. Championships is where it's at and you have to manage a championship. I'm not
saying RV1 will win this SX championship because I have been around long enough to know that anything can and will
happen is SX. He will manage these next seven races just like RC did in 05 and 06. Take a win if it presents itself or take
a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th if it doesn't. I don't think anyone is going to win out, so any of those finishes should be good enough
to secure his 4th straight championship. Go RV1
IMO, letting Baker get away was the worst decision James ever made in his career! How do you go 24-0 2008 in MX and the following year win 11 SX races and the c'ship and then get rid of your trainer! He hasn't been the same since!
