Andrew Short is a good bet if you want someone steady on a team. The kind of rider who will real in consistent results.

Ironic that non of the top 5 have been mentioned, Reed earlier and Dungey before this post, which I would not put in this category.

If you point out riders who do crash a lot and maybe should consider another career, you get flamed on here.

Andrew Short is also a good choice if you want a rider who will never win a race.

MC was always in his zone of control and crashes were rare it seems like. He still rides with a lot of control and purpose.

I think if Kevin rode all out like he did in Vegas more often throughout his career, he might not be racing today. I think his calculated and somewhat conservative riding style (98% of the time) has given his career some longevity. On the other hand, I don't see James Stewart and his all out riding style making it to age 33.

It's always "he just can't catch a break" or "this year is going to be different", but it's always the same outcome.


Some of these guys should consider moving on from motocross before they seriously injure themselves or someone else.

Ryan Dungey. How many times did he crash this year by himself and was his fault? I think Seattle was the only time he did. Kevin Windham also rarely crashes on his own. Was Houston this year all?

I think there is a fine line of riding in your comfort zone and hanging it out! i.e. crashing or keeping it on 2 wheels. some riders are willing to take more chances.

Good point.

Though I have to say (and this may sound a bit weird given the final result), I think Vegas this year was one of Kevin's all time finest performances in his career. He hasn't really been up there much this year but when James passed him you could just sense the fire being lit under Kevin's ass. It's like he suddenly got mad and didn't care about the risks any more. He just pinned it, determined to get JS back. James jumps a quad and the next lap Kevin does it. Wonderful stuff.
