This. That track was bumpier than a fat girl's ass. . . Their bikes were all over the place and that just exacerbates arm pump. Considering that with the extra weight of the 450's and 5 extra laps, I'd say it was a huge success for Dean.
Spot on...Damn arm chair QBs....

must be that alpha male culture..
What the hell is the kid going to do when they get to the outdoors if he can't make it 25 minutes on a supercross track? Baggett will eat the kid alive if he can't go 35 + 2.
I think he only did good , and knowing when to back off is as good a trait as having the speed in the first place..
And I seem to recall a certain baguette getting thoroughly consumed last year, alfresco, I don't know about you.
It was already stated that he pumped up, and anybody that has gotten arm pump knows you have to slow down to avoid wadding yourself, but don't let that stop some of you guys to continuing to say he faded!
Pit Row
I think we all know that the first couple of races in a season, it's easy to blow your load way too early in the race and then just ride around to finish.
I'll be the first to admit that I was a Dean doubter all along but he made me question that last week. Can't wait till the next race to see what he does.
When I was racing I on average would do 3-4 full tank motos ( Ride the bike till it runs out of fuel) M-F on weeks that I did not have a race that weekend. For race weekends it was M-Th. On the off weekends I would call up a lot of other racers to meet up at local track then spend the day racing and passing practice. It was common to have any where from 30-50 bikes on the track an any given time all of them from novice to local pros. One practice task I would always do with a training partner was to do a moto with a rider that is close to my speed and skill and start 30-45 seconds behind them and chase them down similar to going down at the start.
As for Deano he was racing on a very rough track on a new bike that he is more than likely still getting used to. Add in the pressure of RD and KR on his butt and it is no wonder that he started to fade toward the end of the race. When he is practicing at CR track I doubt that there are more than just a couple of other bikes on the track with him at any given time. it seems that most of the top riders have there own tracks with just a select few on the track with them at any given time. When I raced we did not have that luxury.
But I can't stand guys like you that seem to think unless we are able to beat the likes of RV, JS, etc. then we don't have the right to say anything on these boards. Vital boards would be a pretty lonely place if it was required for us to be top 10 in points in order to post anything. Like I said I agree with all the other stuff you wrote, but don't use that "you sit on a computer, while he get's the holeshot at Daytona…" crap again.
