She wants to know why know one is talking about how good he is doing and I told her that their are some
annoying fans of our nephew who kind of ruin it for him and also many other non fans are frustrated because
of his dominance so far, but most of the real fans of MX appreciate his abilitites and how he rides a MX bike.
This is for her, Good job Ryan Daniel Villopoto, you are earning everything you have worked hard for.and you
deserve all you have accomplished thus far. Go RV2 we love you.

Ryan Villopoto is ruining motocross, this was supposed to be the era that gets us away from the single rider or two rider dominance of the past 20 years. We were supposed to be watching the races not knowing who is going to win. Will you please ask him to stop it. Thank you.

Not much to talk about when things are business as usual. Kind of an odd compliment huh?

I think Ryan is embraced by fans more than RC was when RC dominated everything. Shoot, RC got booed!

Ryan is a straight-up badass on the bike. Seems like he doesn't do much extra-curricular media, maybe that's why "nobody" is talking about him?

Be proud. Ryan is one of the best we've ever seen. I think most people have a very high opinion of Ryan. He has represented us well on Team USA and rides the track like he's mad at it.

Hold on to that stuff, hardly anyone has a set of those. He only rode 3 races with those numbers.

Props to RV, he's riding great. I think a lot of the negativity is just put there to annoy the superfans on this board. Same reason Stewart catches some flak.

Also, I wish someone would step up and battle with him but the only guy with the speed required lacks that bit of aggression required to take it to him. Not RV's fault.

You should be proud. Tell Auntieof2 not to worry about who is and isn't writing about him. You can almost guarantee on every Saturday before they drop the gate MOST people have him as their picks to win. If they are picking someone else its in their hopes that someone can come close to him. He is in a league of his own. Haters don't like Innovators! I can honestly say he is one champion people can never knock for saying he didn't have competition. He is easily the most dominant rider in the most stacked field this sport has ever seen. So don't worry about the others. Enjoy sitting back and watching your Nephew create history before he decides to hang it up. I can promise you at that time people will be comparing champions for years to come to him. Congrats on being a Proud Aunt and Uncle.. You should also change to Uncleof1! lol

Dear Uncleof2,
You' have obviously been around the sport for a while and know what a fickle bunch of nitwits we can be. The problem here is that your nephew is riding like friggin Godzilla right now and we all have a sand in our cracks because we were expecting a little more out of his competitors. Ryan is as good right now as anybody I have ever watched and I've been riding/racing/spectating since the mid seventies. Actually what sucks about the situation and held true when RC was dominating is that we only get glimpses of his riding once he kicks everybody to the curb in the second half of the moto. Tell Auntof2 that he is greatly appreciated and we are never happy about much of anything around here..lol.Cool

Crazy isn't it? I remember sitting in Grandpa Fred's motorhome at his first Hangtown with the family and the speculation of what might come after that first stellar SX season and that prior year's Glen Helen. I know Debra or the rest of us had no idea Ryan would attain all of this! He's definetely an over achiever.

People tend to gravitate towards the underdogs in the hope to see better racing. Anyone lining up against RV is the underdog. It does not mean people do not respect and appreciate what he is doing. He is one of the guys on a very short list that took it to the next level and far surpassed his competition.

It is a shame that he is so far out front because we do not get to see much of him on TV. I could watch him ride all day.

Tell her to keep watching, around MXDN all of the naysayers will be singing his praises and will become fans for a few weeks. Your nephew is killing it and you and your wife are right to be proud! People (idiots) "hated" MC and RC too, he is in good company.

RV is a fucking badass...

I like watching close races, but in their absence, I've enjoyed watching RV ring the shit out of every bike he's raced since he turned pro... Most entertaining rider to watch in my opinion, just WFO all the time.

Weege has said some great things about just how good RV is... There has been some stacked classes since he turned up, people say how it's gonna be close... Meanwhile RV is a 7 time AMA champ, will maybe be 11 or 12 after the next 3 years...

It is an amazing when you consider the guys he is beating. I did not believe that anyone would win consistently in this group of some of the best riders ever. It is almost unbelievable how much faster he is than the other champions.

I was going to start a thread titled:

"What Makes RV so Great?"

Basically asking what it is that he does so much better than everyone else and why nobody has been able to step up to his game.

Look, here's the thing. RYAN VILLOPOTO is the greatest rider of this era. But I am not his biggest fan. That being said I respect the hell out of that guy for what he has done and the battles that he has won to get to this point.

It's like when McGrath was crushing everybody for so many years. As much as I love MC. He is my favorite rider of all time by the way. There was a stretch there where it was so boring because you just knew he was going to win and nobody had a chance. And they knew it too.

I was hoping for a better outdoor series and I believed my own HYPE. Thanks RV for making my summer boringTongue

Congrats to Ryan for everything you have achieved!!!

RV is awesome! It is a pleasure to watch him ride, and he should already be considered one of the best ever. As for the annoying fans that want to brag constantly how great he is, that does not bode well for him or any other rider that is dominating. There are a lot of fans that like all the riders and desperately want to see a battle for the championship, not one guy winning all the time. As for the haters, that is a direct refection of themselves. RV and his family should be very proud of his accomplishments.

RV has always been insanely fast. I would have thought he was close to peaking even though he has had some short seasons the last few years. I mean how much faster can a guy go……..

But RV has shown up this year, just pissed off and twisting the throttle like he has gone down in the first corner every moto. TV never does justice for how fast these guys are going, but you can see it from the #2. His aggression is mind blowing. The way he is getting his rear tire on the ground after jumps and just wheeling away looks like a new way to make up time. He is making the track look smooth and we know it ain't.

I think he has improved his technique greatly this year. All these guys get a little better and little faster every year, but RV has done something or found something with himself and his bike to do what he is doing. It is incredible to watch and it’s cool to see. It’s easy to forget how much he has been through the last few years.

And I aint no fan boy, just a fan of the sport and all thr riders.

Uncle....you Auntie should be ( what the hell am I saying?....of course you are! ) extremely proud! Being a NW native and around the racing scene for over 30+yrs.....I've seen a lot of our great racers come and go. RV has put himself into the record books big time and is as far as I can tell.....the best rider on the planet at this very time. Yep.....be proud and cherrish this time you two!

Speaking of NW legends.....I rode with Jason McCormick last weekend up my buddies track. Dude can still haul the mail on a bike....for about 1 lap. Outta shape for sure.....but it's always cool to ride with someone like that.

If there is a moto fan out there that doesn't watch RV2 and absolutely admire the way he rides...their opinion doesn't matter, because they are...well...stupid.

Like him or hate him...watching him ride the track like he hates it and wants to inflict as much pain as humanly possible on it is absolutely incredibly to watch.

Ryan Villopoto is the fastest man on earth at the moment, (Though 5, and 222 can give him a run for his money on the right day...I don't think anyone would bet against Ryan in a race) and will go down in history as one of the best there's ever been.

It's unfortunate about his injuries early in his 450 career...because I'm certain that he'd be reshaping the records books if he'd have been able to compete in those full seasons.
