I really don't care what Malcolm did. Bogle hit him in the head. He should be fined. Malcolm should be commended for keeping his composure and finishing 6th while Bogle did what? Oh yeah, didn't finish the race. Hell looks like on the video he is too week to pick his own bike. Maybe someone that weak shouldn't try to start a fight. Lost a TON of respect for Bogle and gained equally as much for Malcolm. MOOKIE FLOCKA FLAME FTW

Malcom's move was stupid. But nothing to warrant a fine. Hell, he took himself out. Bogle's move was immature (but understandable) and warranted the fine. (BTW, Bogle already said "It was worth it.". At least according to FB/Twitter).

Just my opinion. (And I personally was pulling for Bogle over Malcom and was pissed when at 37 when it went down.)

Just found out, Bogle was fined also.

But in true hypocritical fashion, how many times are we going to see that take-out sequence in highlight reels throughout the season?

It's no different than fining NFL players for hitting too hard and then using those same clips to promote football.

How the F was Bubba blind sided by Reed? Reed is in FRONT. Bubba ran into him. The guy in the back has the responsibility to pass safely.

Bad move by Stewart and silly reaction by Bogle - but neither warrant a fine.

Everything about that move was brainless, the timing, the set up, the execution. Clearly not a very intelligent rider, and if Bogle would have pulled him behind the trailer and put a beat down on him after the night show I don't think anyone would argue it is not justified.

That being said, he (Stewart) should not have been fined.
Spot on Grape. Spot on.

So why isnt Politelli getting fined? And Dungu for Weimer in SD and so on and so on and son on. Lame lame lame. Take outs is racing period. Bogle should not left the inside open. He also should not have taken the time to slap Mookie. This fine is the AMAs way of saying look how lame we actually are.

Agreed.

What is the point of the fine or message being sent, when the person that hits (okay, girlie slaps) someone else doesn't pay the higher fine or get a DQ? Is a kick in the nutsack going to get the same fine too? Or what's the limit? Knives/guns allowed now too with the same fine as the person who made a dumb choice and runs into you or puts you in the cheap seats?

Dumb, just dumb.

Your ability to understand a racing move is as crude as your mastery of the English language.





Neither Bogle nor Malcolm should have been fined.

It was a dirty move by Malcom, but no dirtier than many previous un-fined moves. For the AMA to gain some credibility, they need to be consistent in their actions. The only thing here out of the ordinary was the slap, that's what should have been addressed by the AMA.

lol...... speaking of Blake, Cuningham jumped into Baggett shortly after the start causing Blake to crash and Kyle to DNF. I have not heard anything on why Kyle couldn't finish the race?

Did any of you ass hats that are calling the move by Malcolm dirty actually watch it?

I won't even ask if any of you have ever raced because it is obvious from your responses that none of you do.

That explains it, thanks. I saw Bagget go down, but it loooked like he was all alone at the time and just miss timed that section. I didn't see the contact with KC.

Anybody remember that time when Ivan Tedesco, during the last moto of the year, with the title on the line, slapped Mike Alessi for knocking him down and standing on his bike? No? Because he had enough class not to do it. After he race he said he felt like uppercutting him, but despite the heat of the moment, thought better of it.

GEICO Honda was not well represented at that moment.

Jeff Emig "Malcolm goes for the takeout" Ricky Carmichael "yeah"

I think Emig and Ricky know a takeout when they see one.

Difference is Reed squared up and was trying to motor away. James gassed it right into Reed. You can see the roost coming off James tire.
At what point do you see Reed squaring shit up? He wasn't motoring anywhere? He was damn near in the tuffblocks and STILL hadn't turned.

I understand not fining Bogle. His actions were heat of the moment human nature.

I just wish Malcolm received the same benefit of the doubt. Fucking jackasses the "powers that be" are. They ask these kids to go ride tracks that no sane person would. To hit a triple at the speeds they are going is beyond logic and reason. Yet at the same time they expect a rider to play by some unwritten rules that call for them to be "smart and safe out on the track". There's nothing safe about supercross or dirtbikes for that matter. The moment they step out on that track, it is a necessity to turn that decision making part of the brain off.

Fucking hypocrites to the max. FUCK THE AMA.

Big James has to be steaming pissed right now.

Oh, and dont expect Durham to get a fine. His teams title sponsor is the same title sponsor of the series. Whom took out a rival sponsored rider. No way in hell that Double D would be fined.

This sport is a complete fucking joke at times.....every time the AMA gets involved.
Fkn A well said. I can't believe some organization has not taken over Supercross and paid the riders better. The SX purses are ridiculously low compared to all other forms of motorsports. Add to it the average rider's short career, the inherent danger, the bullshit rulings, and you are exactly right, "it's a compete fucking joke."

Yup they are definitely racist, that's why they fined both a Caucasian rider and an African American rider. And neither would have been fined if Stewart didn't pull such a stupid move when he could of just cut down and blown by Bogle, he was clearly faster.

Maybe they want to get control of the lites class. Those kids were going at it. Fining a guy or two is a good way to get the riders in check. Myself? I think the racing was fucking awesome but I am not going to cry about someone getting fined or not fined. It's not my series, I don't make the rules or have to enforce them.

Right here. You can clearly see Reed has already made the turn. He is clearly not going into the tuff blocks. He is facing down the track when James ran right up the back/side of him.

Come on man, take a look at this video for yourself. Chad went over on James yes, but gave James, a professional dirtbke racer enough time to brake, and try to go around. Malcolm cut across and went straight into Bogle. These 2 moves are very different.

You can smell the people that dislike the Stewarts for one reason or another simply by reviewing their posts.
