Bowers should be DQ'd

The only thing that was said was that it is a bitch move to grab someones wheel to prevent them from riding, or slow them down.


The title of this thread is "Bowyers should be DQ'd."


I could care less about what people think of the move, I take issue with the call to action that this thread represents .

People love to hate on Tyler and I don't get it. How many of you guys are looking at this with an open mind? That wasn't just a normal arenacross pass. That hit pushed Tyler clear over the berm so the impact was enough to push a 200lb motorcycle and a 200lb rider. He hit hard enough to move 400lbs like it was nothing and Tyler didn't go throat punch him he simply grabbed the first thing he could and tried to drag himself out from under the bike. Motocross bikes are hot and when your leg is trapped under them it burns. I only explain this because 90% of you don't ride anyway.

Leave the kid alone he is a great dude and a really nice guy if you give him a chance.

I think most people in this conversation are open minded, right now anyway.

Were you there Friday night? If you were you would have seen the same thing only it was him doing the hitting. He brought it on himself. To be honest I don't care what any of the riders do, I like people being aggressive as long as no one gets hurt. It changes the races and opens things up a bit. To say that no one is being open minded is crazy, most of the the hate that has been brought Tyler's way is because of things that Tyler has done. I personally think he has grown up a bit but when he pulls stuff like this it's only natural for people to make comments due to his past. Just like J Law, in which I am a fan of.

IMO there is no reason for anyone to grab onto someones bike. If you truly ride as you say you do then you would know that there's no way he was getting burned by his bike, nice try,

I wouldn't have grabbed the bike I would have grabbed the rider!

I agree Tyler is growing up for sure. if you were there and saw something different than you would definitely know more than me. Overall I agree with your post however a thread titled "Bowers should be DQ'd" doesn't seem open minded at all. Someone already has their mind made up.

Haha most of the people already have there mind made up on everything here, myself included sometimes. This video was pay back for the night before. I think a DQ would have been harsh but a couple spots I think would have been appropriate.

Bowers should be more worried about getting back on his bike. Reaching for a guy on your way to the ground? This isn't WWF. Your hands control your bike and that's it.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Bowers has been a prima donna in the past, not being able to take it after he's been more than willing to dish it out.

I was there Friday and Saturday and this is what I saw with no bias.

Hayes has a very legitimate shot in straight up beating Bowers, and he feels threatened. Friday night, Hayes was leading one of the mains and Bowers cleaned him out, but not too bad. On Saturday night, he stated it was a "welcome to Arenacross move". Fast forward to main events, Hayes is out front, Bowers catches him and goes for a take out. Take out didn't work, and Hayes punts him in the next corner (as you see on video). After that, Bowers gets up, catches Hayes, and cleans him out very dangerously. If he hadn't had Hayes to stop him, he would have launched the berm into the stands. A few laps later, I believe Gared Steinke took Bowers out and Bowers seems to be hurt in some way. My buddy saw him getting wheeled through the airport.

All of Bowers shit talking and riding like a douche is catching up to him. I've never heard a crowd at AX go as nuts as it did when Bowers got parked. Everyone was legitimately so happy, I've never seen anything like it.

All I can say is that that was MA everyone would be making a HUGE deal out of it. If I was Hayes I woulda stomped on Bowers hand just to let him know he had the wrong bike. It's actually nice to see someone stand up to Bowers.

Exactly. I'm trying to get going and keep racing and someone is grabbing my bike. Stomp. That picture of Bowers grabbing the bike is hilarious.

What was burning him on the left side of his bike? And what was burning him while he was still in midair trying to take the other guy down with him?

Apologize if this was already posted. So Hayes plays the AX game and Bowers doesn't appreciate the standard "AX pass" made on him. So what does Bowers do?......holds onto the wheel of Hayes bike so Jacob can't move. I say WTF.....Bowers should be DQ'd or at the very least docked some positions. Just imagine if this was RV/Stewart. Go to the 2:50 mark for the silliness.

https://youtu.be/CxFegszwWMc
He didn't "Hold" on to his wheel in the sense that you're indicating. he was trying to free himself and the wheel so happened to be there. No foul here.

I talked to Tyler about this earlier. He basically said it was a wild night and 4 guys Tboned him that race alone. People are going to hate on him and he's not going to sweat it. People hate on every rider out there it's what you guys do.

If he isn't going to worry about it I won't either. You guys enjoy your thread.

Yeah really. Hayes should have gotten back up and ran over his ass again while Bowers was laying on the ground trying to pull on his wheel....

I can lift my bike up off me just fine, but there's no way that a guy that weighs 100 pounds more than I do could possibly lift his bike up.

That dude has HUGE stones to put his hands inside that wheel.

HUGE stones. Good way to lose a few digits doing that.

I went Saturday night and my friends told me about Friday night and bowers showed unsportsmanlike conduct both nights even in his podium intreviews. When the young kid on the yzf almost beat him friday "sometimes you just get lucky" was his response. When mcdade beat him Saturday night, it was same response basically. If you get beat straight up, admit it, say he rode a good race and don't put them down. Not what I would expect from the top AX guy right now.

Bowers has a shit attitude. If you knew his father you would understand why. His pops is the same bully that he certainly was in grade school. Unfortunately it rubbed off on Tyler. But his sister......

Completely off topic, but related Wink

Man, after watching that video I just feel bad for those who will waste their time, and money, having to go through "Ricky Carmichael's Road to Supercross"! Seems like its more to boost Arenacross with racers who would never make it in Supercross to begin with.
