I don't usually post links to You tube, but this vid is incredible. It has pretty much every gnarly RC/Stewart battle ever. If you got some time, sit back and check it out. The racing is awesome. It's even got some old RC/MC action.
It's also interesting how much they slam Reed around. From this it looks like it was pretty much standard practice to bodyslam him. Total intimidation.

Man, watching RC and James at Southwick is pure art. Those two were FLYING out there.

Damn 1/3 thru and Chad's been parked 37 times. RC can't ride that fast anymore and Stewart is now faster. Smile

When Reed gets slammed, everyone throws a party. When Reed slams someone, he's a dirty punk.

RC and JS treat CR like CR treated tedesco. CR isn't in there orbit and they make sure he knows it. Time and Time again.

Nice, but they missed one. James' pass on Ping in his first SX (over the table). It looked like he defied gravity. That is the moment when I think people realized that James had the goods.

I just wished both RC and JS would have started racing at the same time!

If that hapened MC would have left as the king and there would have been 2 really fast riders. All the kings records would be safe and the fans would be soooooo lucky.

that vid is awesome.

just reminds me of all the anticipation we all had prior to bubba finally doing battle with rc. then we only got to see it for such a short period and then it was over.

its too bad most spent the majority of that time fishing and arguing here rather than enjoying their battles while we had em.

also, too bad bubba dont do his victory dances anymore.

I'm glad he dosn't do the dance any more but at the sametime he seemed to be having allot more fun when he was. RC took all the fun out of james. But hey he stepped up to the bigboys class and he had to work at it.

I accually liked James more when he didn't have to work at it hw lit up the fans more. Mabey that is why Travis left he was no longer gona be able to devote so much to the fans if he wanted to win. That and all the head trama.

That was more a video of Chad Reed getting passed than it was of either RC or Bubba passing other people. I think Reed got passed like 300 times in that short segment.

True, but he's the only guy thats actually fast enough to get ahead of them in order to BE passed in the first place.

You could probably make a pretty similar video of Reed making some sweet passes on those guys. It has definitely happened, but obviously not as much as they've done to him!
