It's a bummer but it's gonna make the outdoors actually close this year.

He might be secretly enduring immense pain but if his shredding now I don't see why he needs to.

Because he doesn't feel like racing outdoors and risk vs reward doesn't payout at this point in his career

He was noticeably limping at St. Louis before the first timed practice. He's definitely got some kind of issue.

I started a thread earlier about this same topic and it got deleted. Rumors have it for reasons other than the knee...

If I was in his shoes I'd probably want to get the knee fixed in time for hunting season too. #mountainmonarch

aren't they suppose to be doing more in depth drug testing for the outdoors?Whistling #PEDS

Seriously though, I don't think RV is retiring after next year! I think he is to competitive and has to much of an ego to quit in his prime.

Ok, I posted this in another thread but will do it again here: Good friend of mine, long time NW rider, former pro spoke at length to RV in SEA. His takeaway after speaking with him is that RV will NOT ride the Nationals. I asked him "What chance do you think is it that he won't ride them?" His answer was, "Like 99.9%." He said he thinks it is not about any injury, but money, hassles, and other personal issues. He also said he thinks he will go for supercross title number 5 and then call it a career.

I really hope he is wrong about it because I think it is a major bummer and the sun only shines so long on these guys at the top level of the sport before it sets. Having said that, I've never walked in RV's shoes nor has anyone else. It may not be all it's cracked up to be, especially depending on one's past experiences.

Personally, I hope he rides the outdoors this year, but after the way he chose (yes, chose) to decline being on Team USA last year, it wouldn't surprise me if he chooses not to ride the Nationals this year.

If he chooses to not ride Nationals will you lose respect for him like you did for Stewart?
