Tried to find out if he ever races Supercross, since he's such an accomplished rider that some say is Ryan Villopotos equal, but couldn't find anything that he had ever raced the Bercy Supercross. It seems like someone as good as he is suppose to be would want to try his skill at Supercross, maybe come over here to the States and see if he can bang Bars with Adam Cianciarulo

You may not ever see him on a supercross track, but seeing him ride the sand is enough for me! Its pretty damn amazing

Well! I've always enjoyed Outdoor Motocross more than Supercross, BUT! there's no denying the Technical Skill it takes to be a Great Supercrosser and if it was that easy, more People would be doing it. I personally believe Ryan Villopoto would Wax! Jeffery Herlings in the AMA Outdoor Nationals, over in the Europe GP's he might get a Win here and there over RV if it happened to be a Sand Track, which he is suppose to be so good at, but for all around Motocross and Supercross, Villopoto would Handily beat Herlings easily in SX. Maybe Herlings should come over and show us his Stuff in October at the 2013 Monster Energy Cup, there's a MILLION Bucks on the Line and I'm sure he would like that Money and the Bragging rights.

He is how old 16? Give the kid a break, if at some point in his career he wants to come over and ride supercross I am sure he will. He has nothing to prove to anyone, hes accomplished things any racer at 16 would dream of! Stop comparing him to Poto. I know everyone from the good US of A wants to believe we have the fastest riders, but it is possible for someone on the other side of the pond to ride just as fast! Astonishing I know!

Fucking hell, this shit is ridiculous. Why do you feel the need to tear down a champions achievements? Are the Ama guys scared of motocross ?That's why the never go to face the GP circuit right.

He was born September 12, 1994 , so he's 19 years old. Heck! we have Kids racing at Loretta Lynns that could teach him how to jump a Supercross TripleSmile

I'm not tearing Jeffery Herlings achievements down, he just seems like he might be scared to be shown up by American Riders on a Supercross Track, that's all I'm sayin. Don't you Euro's get all in a Twist, just a legitimate question as to why he doen't give it a try. Roczen did it, what's his problem.

Yet, they more than likely all respect him. What is your reason for bashing him? Know him personally?

Well, on September 12th 2014, he'll be 20 years old if born in 1994, Isn't 18 years and 11 months close enough to 19 to be called 19 when that's what he'll be in a Month

He's gonna dominate over there for a long time most likely. He's got a chance to build a nice legacy. Do him no good to come here and get beat or get hurt and shit riding sx. I think most riders peak about 24. He should be a fucking beast of a rider by then. Maybe he'll be bored by then....

Not everyone likes supercross. Especially in Europe. Personally I don´t give to f@cks about it, and only look at the results and the races the following morning to "get a fix" during winter. I don´t find it particularily interesting, and I´d rather go through TBlazier´s old MX-uploads than to watch a live sx. It´s pretty dull halfway through the sx season. Everyone is different I guess. Also, US tracks are VERY different to GP tracks, and they have a different flow. That is why I like to watch both AMA and GP motocross, but I don´t give a damn about sx. I do find the current mx tracks to be a little too much sx-inspired, which I think is a shame.

Tracks like Elsinore and the recent German GP bore me to death. They are basically outdoor sx tracks, and only interesting due to the overall standings. Just my two cents, but I think many die hard Euro mx fans feel kind of the same way. That is why it is pointless to argue that a GP rider should come over to prove himself in the sx series. He doesn´t have to prove anything really. In the outdoors however, he will have to perform after a few seasons across the pond. Look at guys like Tortelli and Albertyne - excellent outdoor riders who were basically just playing the waiting game until the outdoors started. IMO there is no shame in that.
