I know we had 3 rules. Try your hardest , never throw your helmet or bike down.

You folks have your answer on why He doesn't have a better ride.

I am glad they showed it. He was laying it all on the line and thought he just missed out. Good to see some passion

Always respect the equipment...that was amateur.
But I'm not going to say anything to that big bruiser, he's a tough looking dude,

Plus he was just letting go of some anger. Don't think he intentionally kicked the bike off the stand. Just kicked the back tyre. Obviously doesn't know his own strength.

Broke two golf clubs on one hole.....only two I ever broke.

I'd be concerned if he wasn't pissed.

Didn't you quit posting because of your emotions? Think you can give Weston a pace for getting a little emotional after that LCQ race

First, who gives a living crap about a stupid motorcycle. Its just metal and you can always get another one. Treat people with respect, treat a motocross bike like it needs its head twisted off! Second, he is a pro landing full speed off huge jumps many times a lap. Your worried about the bike falling off the stand?

If you were fishing, I guess I bit.

I don't think he knows his own strength!

I wouldn't hold it against him if it was on purpose. When your at that level you've earned your equipment in a different way than if your parents bought you a bike as a kid. It's his to use and abuse.

500guy is the ex-champion of the mx world. So when he was on top he didn't do those kinda shenanigans. He also knows since a privateer rode a 2stroke and didn't make the main that 2strokes are dead from racing (zero chance of making it). Basically, he's wicked smart...

I wasn't aware that I quit posting here or that I had emotional problems. Thanks for letting me know.

I guess I'm the only one that thinks kicking the bike off the stand is a No, No

All you bad asses don't be crying next year when he gets snubbed on good paying rides.

Being that it's his bike, it's his business.

People that kick their bike are the same kind of people that punch holes in their walls and doors.

As long as they kick bikes and hit walls no real harm is done.

I'm sure his sponsors are happy to see him respecting his equipment.

I'd say tons of riders over the years, Weston just did it in the pits, not in a factory truck

Should not kick your bike, it will probably kick you back. No ride....no wonder.

And is MX/SX the only sport that does not have the brains to put the scoring loop at the finish line?

Good lord. He showed some emotion, and was mad because he thought he didn't make the main. Maybe next time he can blow some bubbles when he doesn't make the main to satisfy you pussies. He got tv time for sponsors didn't he?

I love MX, but good lord some of the fans are the biggest cry babies. I saw thread earlier that was about the Monster claw not being shown tonight as a good thing. Monster is one of the main sponsors keeping this sport alive.

I am usually positive, but man some of you may need to change sports to hand-holding or something similar.

It's fine to do it where fans/cameras/sponsors don't see. I don't find it acceptable to do in public where sponsors, families of sponsors, fans, etc can all see.

I'm not crying about it and it certainly doesn't prove anything besides stupidity.

I wonder how many of you saying it's cool have supported racers at the highest level.
You represent your sponsors and you don't represent them well when you do stuff like that.
