I think that was a smart move by TLD. CC has so much potential it's unreal. He seems like such a good well mannered kid to boot. Here is hoping for a fast recovery from his wrist injury.

Can't you just shut your mouth and congratulate a talented rider who is working his ass off to achieve his goals? Christian is a great kid, and deserves recognition for his accomplishments thus far.

Was his comment negative? What's the controversy with his dad Mike?

I sure would like to see him land a decent 450 ride in the states next year so he'll be able to show what he can do. There is nothing left to prove anymore in canada for him and it's good to hear him say that he's actively looking for a ride in the us next year.

I can't tell if you meant "Riding skills" , or something else in this post. Want to clarify?

FWIW....Mike Craig has some skeletons in his closet. The good news is , Christian was raised by his mother......and as you can tell from his interviews and from what people say that are close to him.....he is an awesome kid! He may have his dad's genes in the "riding skills" dept.....but as far as everything else......that is about it. If that comment above was a "put down".............then that is complete bullshit , and a terrible;le thing to say.

wtf??????

What's your problem dude???

I was just writing that his dad was a kickass rider too. What the hell??

Just goes to show you how people around here are so quick to look at the negative side!

Disagree, I've heard it used in a positive manner many times and that's how I read it also. Don't think 'downandup' was disrespecting anyone.

Thanks Sparkey.

I don't know why so many people took it negatively . I have always used it in the positive. Wow, there are some super dark people on here.

Speaking of TLD, I went to dinner in Laguna Beach last night and saw Troy's new store, it's beautiful. It's near the Library, if you're in the neighborhood go check it out !

I think some people ( as did I ) took it as a slam towards Christian , because of some of the stuff Mike did back in his racing days on a personal level. I'm not going to get into what I heard and so forth. So "Downandup".......if you meant that in a positive way....let me be the first to apologize for jumping to conclusions. It always been a touchy subject on here about this very topic.
