Hey guys,

I know a lot of people are curious to see CR22 on the green bike. Here's the first look with him on green up at Castillo. We filmed this piece a few weeks ago, and I hope all enjoy!

Does anyone know what forks he is using? They look like the Showa Triple air in this video.

Good point, what was Chad thinking, advertising the company that is throwing probably millions of dollars into his racing effort like that. Dry

Best he's looked in years, super smooth and very fast.

looks sharp, dude totally changed my opinion on him over the last couple of seasons....not that he'd care.

didn't care for him for a long time as a js7 fan but setting out on his own team and just gutting it out, the crushing defeat in the nationals after that massive yard sale at millville.

The biggest thing was just sticking it out last season when it was clear he was not comfortable/confident in his setup/self but refused to pack it in and call it a year. He also refused to let that be his last stamp on the sport- went back to the drawing board with a new bike and seems committed to make 1 last real charge for it. Awesome spirit and determination.

I know Chad lurks here.........and Chad if you read this.....Good luck this coming season. Stay fit and healthy and have fun! You don't need the money so just go out there and do what you KNOW how to do. That's what it's all about anyways right?

Again....good luck man!

To me he looks to have the exact same stiff riding style like he had 2013.

Dosen't look like the Reed of the past. Don't think he will do much better in 2014.

Age has come up on him. Top 5 ? ...maybe some races, probably mostly around 5-10th positions

This year is way different than the 2013. Chad has had time to prepare himself and his setup much better this time. 2013 preparation time was too short with new bike and recovery from injury. The pace wasnt good enough, but when i watched first five races from 2013 SX few weeks back i was kinda surprised that he was so close to podium in those races. Rest of the year was so bad that people dont remember that start of the SX wasnt that bad at all if you think how unhappy he was on the bike.

In SX you need speed, good starts and you have to be smart in races. I think Chad still has those things in hes bag of tricks and thats why i think hes gona do good this year even if the field is stacked.

I agree the Discount Tire iron-on logo on the jersey, and the stickers on the fenders of the bike that look like Tate applied them (maybe he did!) looks super ugly & amatuerish. I hope he'll have some better graphics and gear prints before A1.

Good vid though. I wish Chad the best this year.

Today's FINALLY a chill day for me.
It's great to get on here and see there's still the lovers & haters.
Keeps my feet warm, haha..........
Which ever way you chose to go, a fan, a hater, whatever, consider this:

Which ever way you are, male or female, ponder this.
The next time your brushing your teeth, look in your mirror and ask yourself what you do?
Ask yourself what you do in life to qualify the thoughts and opinions you have.
Everyone has opinions, but if you dig deep, you'll realize that most are based on hear say and zero knowledge of a given subject or direction.
ALL our professionals deserve RESPECT 1st, until you personally know otherwise.
Even for me, and I'm full of it plenty, I RESPECT ALL who chose to line up, even the 1's I don't care for, I RESPECT them ALL.
Why?
Because they're living the life and doing something with theirs that's extremely risky and dangerous each and every time
they get out there.
Happy Holidays.

And if your in need of NEW rubber, etc.....Go to America's Tire or Discount Tire.
I personally guarantee you'll be happy you did!!! Smile

..and it doesnt look like and iron on to me. Also, did anyone complaining about it looking like a commercial happen to see who posted the video? Thats right, Discount Tire.

The biggest complaint that sponsors have in this sport is that their logo's aren't as visible as they would like them to be...looks to me that Chad and Discount Tire have come up with something that works pretty good...I would suggest that if a few of these moran's have any thoughts of having a future in design and/or marketing...they should look into something else that fits their skills better....McDonalds is always hiring!
