it wasn't for nothing, there was a whole slew of 4 stroke riders that he beat out to qualify, same with Ryan Smith, they both made a bunch of guys who ride "much better" 4 strokes sit on the sidelines and watch the heat races go on, and there ryan smith was, riding a stock yz250 with suspension with while their 60 horsepower 450's sat at their pit area, being unused.

I'll gladly give another 25 a peice to each rider who qualifies for the night show, and more if they made the Main. This just proves that 2 guys who hadn't been racing supercross and definitely weren't in the swing of things as far as the supercross schedule goes were able to go out there, and give it their all on underpowered bikes and have fun while doing it, you'll be hard pressed to find a guy out there who is having fun being a privateer.

there should be more guys like Renner and Smith who go against the grain and do what is right for the sport, and not just be the other sheep that follows the heard of 4 jokes

I appreciate the donations on PayPal and pretty sure
I will be rebuilding the kids bike because it was cooked after the LCQ!
I hope to be able to barrow or purchase another two stroke to rip again!

Thank you all again!!

All I did was ask questions and give an obvious fact, right? Didn't see him in the main.... Heck, even Tim Ferry offered his opinion on the same subject, don't recall seeing him get maliciously attacked.

Congratulations on being able to verbally attack people and their opinions like 99.9% of all vital members, you should fit right in here. You just need to dig up a XXX avatar and you will be in good shape.
If you think your post was okay you have a lot problems.

Sure that's not a 144? he barely had to feather the clutch out of those turns. He kicked some butt for sure.
Would anyones opinion change if it was?

well done Ricky, great ride.
I think a few people on here take this 2 vs 4 thing a bit too far..... but anyway as you can see from my avatar i just brought an old two stroke (for $2500, i usually buy a new bike each year but a new 4st is about 10k here!) im having just as much fun, maybe more at a much cheaper and more manageable price. im not die hard 2st, would be happy to buy and ride a new thumper but i do believe that the manufacturers should make both and race both.

I simply am interested in seeing how the two strokes would compare to the fours at the pro level.

Thank you, and please give it another go!

You're welcome mate. Happy to see money go Ryan Smiths way.

Thought it was an exciting day, two underdogs going against the grain. It's not a 2 v's 4 thing for me its about being different. Hope both Smith and Renner are inspired to do it again... I've become a huge fan.

Anyone that makes the night show is freaking on it and deserves respect!

Was happy to hand him my $100 in the pits, hope others follow through. You couldn't have slapped the smile off Ricky's face that alone was worth it!!!

I was watching and rooting for you guys on the 2strokes! I was really pissed that the TV coverage didn't even mention RENNER they knew what he was accomplishing, but i think they were told to not cover him....And the only reason i think the yz250 got on screen is because the camera guy saw Ryan crash......... Corporate bullshit the don't wanna see a 2stroke be able to compete in my opinion.. Well As for Renner and Smith congrats awesome ride especially in the mudd! I'm sure even though us watching tv didn't see but im sure the crowd had to be be going nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And please Race that thing next week you now know you have a huge backing

I'm not big on conspiracy theory but it is the honda supercross at Daytona.

Yes it's true, Honda now controls the Speed network and pays their announcers directly. The mention of Ryan Smith was a massive slip-up and they will be punished terribly for it I'm sure.

Props to Ricky. Bummed that the announcers neglected his effort.

And damn the Anti-Rennites. Long live the revolution !

Let there be smoke.

Yeah, I know.......

But in the interest of providing viewers with the stories of the nights racing, why wouldn't they mention a guy on a antiquated underpowered 2T that ran to 8th place? Especially in light of the Tweets being sent about that situation bring it to their attention.

I'm not jumping to the conclusion they were told not to mention it but I not going to believe it wasn't an intentional 'oversight'.

The all mighty dollar rules pretty much everything, to think otherwise is naive IMO.

If he would have made the main on the 125 they would have mentioned it on air. What a shame that he didn't make the main due to a mechanical, the standing water was hard on a lot of bikes.


I am surprised at all the support for the 2 stroke riders, some satalite need to field a 2 stroke rider. The publicity for the rider and team would help to pay for the effort. Plus you could bill it as the peoples team and have individuals sponser the rider and his results like many have done for Ricky and Ryan.
