Hear a lot of people say they love watching polished riders like Marv/Dungey which I get but I love watching someone like Barcia or Ando who's literally hanging off all over the bike.

I used to love Everts his style back in the day allot. Standing up all the time being in maximum controll of the bike.
In more recent years i really like Eli Tomac his style. Especially the way he uses wheelies to his advantage on certain objects. At the Lille SX there was this Dragons Back double type of thing and he wheelied it completely and jumped the double without his front wheel ever touching the ground ... insane skills.

I like watching Tomac the best. Agressive with not too much wasted movement

I´ve always liked the aggressive riders. Smooth riders are boring to watch. Impressive - yes, but boring.
My favourites would have to be Tortelli and Pit Beirer. I really like Jason Anderson´s style too! And Tomac of course, I think his style can appeal to everyone

Christian Craig is such a technician on the bike........looks like he can effortlessly put the bike where ever he wants.....sitting, standing....... it doesn't seem to matter. Such a cool style. Some guys who are smooth look boring, but I think he does it a way that is fun to watch.

RV Tomac and Roczen are my fav. J law can flat out haul ass around a track while looking good. But the smooth ness of Kdub was always an inspiring sight

It's the mix of different styles that makes the racing as interesting as it is, but Tomac brought something this year that was really incredible.

Ya know, chads style was always bad ass. Never looked like he was trying.

Of course JBS has the best in between. Balls to the wall but smooth as silk.

Currently JB has the best style

Watching Anderson/Barcia/Stewart make me want to go haul ass

Dungey/Pourcel make me want to relax and cook a burger

Webb. Craig. Pourcel. Musquin. All slightly different styles but all pretty damn cool imo

So I guess I fit in the smoother guys section

RV was/is my favorite to watch ride, just pure dominant aggression not one fuck ever given type style. But yea a guy like barcia is more entertaining to watch than dungey even though dungey goes faster. (95% of the time)

I like watching opposite ends of the spectrum battle each other. Like Stewart vs Everts or Barcia vs Pourcel. One guy looks to be hauling ass and the other looks like he's on a sight lap, meanwhile both are turning the same blazing fast lap times.

I really like the more aggressive riding styles. Barcia gets me amped when he's on it. Like first Moto when dungey got him he was going crazy trying to hang on and get him back. So fun to watch.

I like watching both. You can't fully appreciate one without seeing the other.

Febvre is pretty darn exciting to watch and his blietz to the top is something you don't see often, I guess !

Could have put it on championship mode in moto 2 and stay behind Strijbos but he never gave up and got him with 3 laps to go, after 30mn of harsh roost... On a track as sketchy and hard-to-pass-on as Uddevala, badly watered also (even worse in moto 2, it seemed), that was a very ballsy win, I thought.

Sometimes Romain rides like a pure charger, on the gas, sometimes like a pure stylist, with very fine throttle control.

He has a pretty solid bag of the new school tricks and can scrub hard too.

Overall, a very interesting / original riding style for the rookie-who-could-be-champion.

I enjoy watching everybody but I get more excited by extremes, either super agressive (RV), either super smooth (CP), either flamboyant (JS7).

RV - rear wheel aggressive style
Musquin - Precise
Pourcel - Smooth
Martin - RC like and aggressive
Webb - Hard charger
Cairoli - Looks almost lazy but highly effective

All time favourite style is Everts, absolutely effortless and precise

Barcia did almost eat it a bunch of times riding like that though....

I've always tried to ride like a reynard. Smooth and perfect, just cause for me whenever I got all agressive I make mistakes and get tired.

Well the question was to watch not ride like. I agree I ride nothing like that nor try to lol

Girl on Girl always gets the party started ~!!!

The smooth style of MC was a thing of beauty but wild ass racers like Hannah and Barcia are great. There are just so many to pick from.

Paulin has the best style in the world IMO. Makes it look like he is riding a BMX
