Better question, if Hepler & Lawrence made a comeback which one would have an easier time lining up sponsors? Good guys that work hard can find good rides and stick around for a while in this sport while at the same time this sport is littered with guys that had all the talent in the world but flamed out becasue of poor life choices and a lack of respect for the opportunities they were given. You think One Industries would like a do over on their decision back in '09?

They are what they are and nothing can change that. The guys that show or has shown speed always get picked before the good hard woking guys. Always. The teams gamble with those guys because if everyting works out they get podiums.

What I meant is we need bad guys. It fun and interesting. It is something to talk about. WWE RAW.
There is still more threads about J-LAW loong after he retired than many of the top guys today. Fans take interest in how racers act off the track because we sure dont see any personality on the podium. For entertaiment i rather read about 2 racers fighting than RD doing another charity event.

For entertainment, I'd rather watch RD actually racing against RV, CR, JS etc. than watching some video on Vital of Lawrence riding by himself on some sand track in the woods on Big Foot cam.
for entertainment id rather have Megan Fox jumping in my lap.

Maybe it's just different cultures? Seems like the ones hating are from america and I have allways thought you guys are more serious about stuff like this, trained for media att very young age etc, if you look at hockey for example compared to us europeans

He smashed his rental car in Russia and got his ass kicked by his ex-girlfriends dad (or something like that) at one of the GP's. He's also from Holland so that first thing is also a given Wink
Herlings never crashed the loan car,he was in the back with his girlfriend,road accident,(not at the track along with the industry)no charges brought to anyone either from all accounts I recall,just because he's Dutch doesn't tar him as a stoner either,unless someone knows different? No arrests either,no jailtime,assault with a deadly weapon,etc,

That just leaves the dispute with his ex girlfreinds dad,hardly a bar brawl,he's sworn on camera, apologised since and brushed his act up,and goes off on Twitter now and again,there's bad and there's bad sorry but he's not in the same ballpark as J-Law

I don't see what's the big deal or why so many people in the states get all worked up and hate on him so much. The guy is a baller, he's funny, he doesn't give a fuck, doens't give two fucks for that matter, he backs up his words with actions....oh, and he rides a dirt-sickle really fast.

So lets put this into perspective.

People were on James Stewart and him moms side when they were getting called the N word and other racial slurs.

Now, people on here are condoning that and saying its ok because he is speaking his mind???
Not saying it's right or wrong, but everbody on my sons high school football team, called each other that, and they were a very diverse team. Think it is more of a generation thing and of course the actual intent of the word at the time it is said. Amazing what you hear in a high school locker room...

I've never been racially discriminated, but I imagine it's fucked
but my thoughts on the word used is if everyone was allowed to use it whenever they want wouldn't it take the sting out of it? honest question... the ignorant rednecks of the world use it because they know it offends but if everyone could use it wouldn't it become less offensive, and the rednecks would lose that weapon
wasn't 'gay' an offensive term for homosexuals back in the day? same with 'queer'.. these are just my thoughts

either way while it does racially offend I'm not using it and Herlings shouldn't either... I'm fine with the rest though!

He curses like a sailor and uses racial slurs on twitter. Please explain to me how this professional motocross racer is doing a service to the sport. Imagine for a second if a white professional basketball player or football used the words he did, on any social networking site.


I'm surprised KTM hasn't put a stop to this bullshit.

We're talking racist speech here, which in case you haven't noticed, is a huge can of worms here in the States. Quite frankly, grounds to get you fired from just about anywhere, and due to our Political Climate; it reeks of unprofessionalism. Try to keep up.


Do I think it's racist? No. I'm not the word police. Does our mainstream media, and consequently, our society? Bet your sweet ass they both do, and unfortunately that matters more than any of our opinions.

Well he is obviosly not a race hater, then he would have chosen another profession. I think he loves to race and he is good at it.

I greatly admire Herlings for his riding ability, but I do think he comes off as a bit of douche. Having said that, I think this sport is crying out for some different characters at the professional level. I don't really get why people are hating on the guy - if you don't like his attitude, there are plenty of "choir boys" out there you can support.

Using the term "nigga" probably wasn't a smart move, but I think it is pretty obvious he did not mean it in a racist sense.

He's awesome!!

It's the off season, he's enjoying himself. When it comes time to get the work done he's all business and gets it done.....while still enjoying himself a little and rustling a few feathers along the way. Nothing wrong with that.

He smashed his rental car in Russia and got his ass kicked by his ex-girlfriends dad (or something like that) at one of the GP's. He's also from Holland so that first thing is also a given Wink
He did not drive that car in Russia, in fact he was sitting in a back and that`s what saved him from more injuries.

Its true it doesn't carry much weight in australia either.We have a brand of cheese here called 'coon' . its all about the context in wish its said and how hearlings came ff is fine by me. Not that it matters but im am the only dark guy with a dirt bike at any track i go to.

Stop being such a bitch. I'm sure the incidents with the Stewart's were/are race hate. I'm sure Herlings is just using it with no intention to be racist. Or is he the only cracker in the world using the N word? You really sound like a woman, bro.
Dude, just shut up. In jest or no, it's not acceptable and very unprofessional for an MX athlete. Especially a white one.

If I sponsored that kid and he was throwing out racial slurs like that.... Lets just say that he would need a month to remove my boot from his ass. The universe has a way of taking the cockiness out of the kids that dont appreciate everything that has been given to them. Ala J Law, Stroupe, etc....
I couldn't agree more.

People put it down to him being a kid but the fact is that at 18 he's an adult, albeit one who clearly has serious behavioral issues. He's obviously learnt nothing from his previous faux pas.

If I had an 18 year old son as publicly foul-mouthed as him I would consider myself a failure as a parent.
