Here's JS's Go Pro from Oakland. Show me where Reed's bike starts swapping? Looks like he enters the whoops on the right hand side then tries to cut over to the line on the left right in front of JS and almost comes together with Davi or contacts Davi. His bike is definitely not swapping though.

To me yes, but others have to form your own opinion. I will agree its not a bar slapping swap but I don't think he was incontrol from the first whoop on.

As he enters the first whoop he looks off balance and it shots him to the left; he tries to counter back and gets even more squirrely.

To me it doesn't look like he is trying go left, he just gets launched off the first whoop that way.

But it's okay for Reed to go completely off of the track to attempt to take out Stewart in a high speed sweeper in Las Vegas? People say that take outs are part of racing, but re-entering the track without stopping and looking both ways is not? Like somebody previously stated, Reed throws a lot of rocks from that glass house.

Not even the same type of incident... This is more it, re-entering the track without looking...

... what does Chad's results over the last 10 years, have to do with what wired4speed stated? it's pretty obvious that he said Reed got his ass handed to him, his FIRST YEAR in the US on a 125. Chill, mate, I get national pride and all, but don't read more into it that what's being said.

Yeah... he raced a 250f in the 125 class, my bad. I was talking about Reed being stuck to race the 125 class, not the actual bike being a 125 that wired4speed was referring to. I wasn't agreeing with his 'ass handed to him' statement. Stewart and RC were the only 2 that I can think of that had Chad's number the first year or two in motocross and supercross... and it wasn't by much.
Chad Reed also had his 250f ass handed to him by a 16 year old kid on a 125cc bike in the outdoor series. RC, Tortelli and Windham all were faster 250cc outdoor racers until Reed picked up his speed and matched Windham. Tortelli knocked himself out once too many times and disappeared from the 250cc class and we all know what RC did to Reed while RC was on a 250cc and a 450F bike in the outdoor series. Reed was always a great sx rider and a top 3-4 mx rider. Barcia has the same drive as Reed to win. Didn't know I said anything bad about Reed. There's very few racers lined up with the desire to win whether it's mx or sx.

Wasn't Barcia supposed to be the inconsistent one, taking out half the field in mains, with no wins.

Shouldn't Barcia have more points than some 30 year old, in his 11th big bike season?Whistling

The fact that this thread has gone 7 pages says a lot about this place.
