Thought I liked Trey Canard

Till tonight. He showed up to the church I went to tonight in Temecula and gave his testimony. It confirmed what I thought I knew of him, matter of fact I have huge respect for this guy.

Motocross needs a guy... or 10, like this that kids can look to for inspiration.
Trey is definitely someone that carries himself with grace.

Love em or not, he has a conviction for what he believes in. Trey's parents did a fabulous job raising this kid and have lots to be proud of.

All in my humble Opinion.

Hate to join the nuthugging train but the kid rides his ass off and I love it.

I'd post a short little video I have, of him "finding a second" where the others couldn't, if I gave a shit about whether or not he needed any support....Good luck to the kid.

Trey is a young man with a great attitude and such a positive outlook on life.

Totally agree we could use more like him out there in the racing scene.

I think Canard is a lot better at what he does though while being a great role model. He amazes me with his riding ability most of the time I watch him.

I think it's funny that it offends some people so much - I think it's time to examine yourself if that makes you uncomfortable.

Ya. Respect the guy a ton. He is one of the most humble, down to earth riders I have ever met. Was awesome to hear him share his story last night. Here he is with my son. Took time to just talk and chat. Sign his hat.

I don't believe It "offends" or make people "uncomfortable". No way. I haven't seen it written or said like that anywhere (please show me if I missed it). Some people just find it a bit too much, borderline ridiculous at times.

He is an amazing guy and a very talented rider but his preaching and extreme religiousness reminds is no different than the cult of Kim Jong Il or the preaching of other extreme religiousness.

I am a catholic, I choose my religion, the way I practice it and what I want to believe in. Extreme religions can be dangerous, misleading, whatever they preach.

Nonetheless, I would totally understand Trey's extreme passion and belief in his religion. It is undoubtedly through his extreme beliefs that he found the strength, the courage, the guidance to overcome tragedy, loss and the repeated injuries. Some need an incredibly strong faith in something to come back and go for it the way he does, be it Jesus, Jehova, Allah or Kim Jong Il.

This is the thing that gets me - he is living his life in a way that we could all learn from. When you say "extreme religion," what makes it so extreme? The fact that he thanks God on the podium? He is passionate about his relationship with God and I don't think that it's any different than thanking your wife on the podium.

If Chad Reed got up and thanked Ellie every time he podiumed, nobody would care. But with Trey thanking God when he podiums, it rubs people the wrong way. Why?

Trey is an awesome person and rider. He has worked his way into a media spotlight, he can use his time to speak of whatever he likes... he earned it.

We are not supposed to care. The "JOURNALISTS" are only supposed to cover the happy news that makes sponsors look good.

I don't care if he is a Christian or not. If we can't talk about hookers and blow and everyone wants to complain about how the rock star girls dress I don't need that Jesus crap thrown in my face all the time.

Did you really just compare talking about Hooker and Blow to thanking God on the podium? I think we've identified part of the problem if you think those subjects are even REMOTELY comparable.
