Shoot, let's try this

Edited Date/Time 1/26/2012 11:01pm
This has to be a positive thread about pro riders. You can't say anything negative about another pro rider in this thread. Let's keep it positive, these guys do have our respect after all. I'll start:

Reed: Awesome style, smooth, and super-fast.

Poto: Aggressive, fast, and fearless

Marc: Gutsy, fast, and a breath of fresh air

Lawrence: Likes girls, fast, colorful, and fun...and smooth on dat bike!

Your turn...anyone?

Stewart - Makes it look so easy that no one respects what he is really accomplishing.

Stewart rides like a Jedi. As long as the mind is clear he has no equals.

SH 105, Hard worker, does what it takes to finish no matter the circumstances, never makes excuses.

Pastrana, one of the most naturally gifted riders ever. First to try new things on the track. Great with the fans... Always a smile on his face.

I think that this is a great idea for a thread; if it remains to be a positive thread as intended it'll be nice to read without having to sift through people bickering at eachother over the same things over and over. Dungey: Great rider, really outgoing and friendly personality
Hamblin: Doesn't give up, determined, and also really friendly
Gracyk: Very determined racer who just hasn't had any luck recently
Villopoto: He has the speed and the aggression to make passes where no one else does
Carmichael: There isn't much more to be said about him. He's just an incredible racer
Pastrana: Seems to be extremely humble, and he's very talented

Andrew Short:: Only rider to race and complete every race in both Supercross and Motocross. Always positive. Always great with the fans. Last pro racer signing autographs for the fans. God fearing. Never gives up. Willing to come from last place at the start of a race and work up to top 5. 2nd overall in supercross and going to be 2nd overall in motocross. BEST racer in the world short of James Stewart. Should have been on the MXoN team but will next year.

My riding buddy has that poster hanging in his bike trailer. I always look at it, cringe, and gain even more respect.

Matt Walker, true warrior willing to turn around during a race to come help you when someone intentionally took you out and is standing on your front wheel trying to hit your kill button! True story!!!

I can't understand why AS29 isn't more popular. Consistent as they come.

Josh Hill- youth, only second yr Pro(first in 450s), already has a SX win, shown he can be fast outdoors as well; much, much upside to him for just turning 19.

Needs to work on being a consistent good starter and finishing the job.

Has the goods to be a great.

Yes indeed. I love it when the riders (like SH 105 and DV12) communicate with their fans -- if I am not a fan before, I am after.

SH 105 Fast, nice, and hard charger.

Ferry - fast and aggressive, better with age, always improving. The kind of guy you want on the team.

Millsaps - an awesome and unique style. Like Pastrana at his best, no one hits the whoops and bowl corners harder.

Short - consistent as a Swiss watch. Very steady, showing great improvement for only his 2nd year on a 450.

Tedesco - very smooth and stylish. When he's in a good position up front he really makes stuff happen. He goes for it.
