Ralph needs to go, his JS bias is ridiculous. He was so excited about the points that RV was going to lose when he was way back in the pack. Go ride on the hell out of broadcasting sx. Weege would be awesome.

"Would you gentlemen prefer that the riders not speak publicly" (ill leave out the JS part, because it pretty much refers to every rider)

These guys rip on riders for not speaking their minds, and then when they do say what they are thinking, they bash more. It is fucking pathetic. The riders are not entitled to their own opinion unless it is saying something positive about "their" rider.

Reed speaks his mind because he has the balls to back it up. KW speaks his mind and it rains gold(rightfully so). Most riders do not speak their mind, and if they do I think this sport needs an education rule. This sport is filled with so many politics and I found out first hand last week how it works. Pretty sad...

I guess my point isn't that Reed doesnt have the right to say what he wants about whomever he wants. It's that people agree with everything some people say because they're fans, #1, and #2 just because another rider doesn't have anything negative to say doesn't mean they don't speak their mind.

Your son is a class act. He is one of the few who stands up for what he believes in, smiles, and takes the high road. Be proud of what you have accomplished and I hope Treys luck turns around. I suggest more time with KDub haha

You sure about that one? I think Ralph was digging at the comment James made. Chad laughed agreeing with him.

x2. Here's my take... anyone who is not a robot with a limited vocabulary has an opportunity to be interesting and captivate an audience. Trey is well spoken and has a wholesome, christian personality--voicing his honest and genuine beliefs when given the opportunity; Reed on the other hand tells it like it is, even if he is being critical of another person or organization (remember St. Louis 2010 when Reed threw Feld/Dirt Wurx under the bus for dangerous track obstacle on national tv, which later proved to be true with serious injuries that followed, from both RV2 and IT9 on that very section?). If a rider can find a way to communication/verbalize his personality (e.g. TC41 or CR22) and speak with confidence and conviction, they will develop a following of people who appreciate the insight they provide... it's the proverbial broken sponsor record that become noise and therefore an easily forgotten rider among the motocross fans.

they shortened the races because the 4 jokes can't last that long. How many riders went out in the heat races and lcq's because of bike failure?ya, exactly. guarenteed if renner was given any support at all from yamaha that he would've made the main and made a bunch of 4 choke riders go cry to. Because the 2 stroke rider had such a big advantage...

Yeap just like that 2 joke couldn't last 6 laps. Or how the 250 took forever to start in the 450 heat. Aren't 2 strokes supposed to fire up on first kick, even in the mud? I'm all for 2 strokes but posts like these make me believe that you 2 stroke enthusiasts are fucking retards.

I certainly don't agree with everything that Reed has to say but I do appreciate his opinion.
Guys like Chad, RC and Fro are in a unique position to give some insight that many people won't have.

I'm a fan of racing and like that there are a few guys that have their own personality and shake things up a bit.
Most of the time the folks that get upset are fans of the rider that is being spoken of in an unfavorable light.

Some people give Trey a hard time about speaking his mind about religion and his beliefs but that is just Trey talking about what he believes.
Some folks take that type of thing as a negative for whatever reason but to me it falls into the same category......that is Trey speaking his mind about what he thinks and feels.

Not exactly the same conversation but I think in both cases the rider has every right to talk about it......that is part of who they are.

I wasn't talking about you specifically. If you thought so, I apologize.

Not really referring to what people say on the podium, because this isn't a good guage of what people really say in many cases. Just think the world could use a little more kindness, including not always saying what you want if it hurts other people's feelings. I know I'm old school.

Not at all......no apology neccesary. I knew that was a general statement

I absolutely agree that we could use a little more civil discourse around the planet but I have always liked the rabble rousers of the world too.
I think both have their place.

I think it is an interesting point of conversation and believe me I got my grandmothers switch across my backside for not being quiet more than a few times....lol.
