Really Mookie?

Okay so I'm a fan of Malcolm, I reckon his a cool dude but should you really stop dead in front of someone else's line? Shouldn't you only be obsolete when you're in a crash? It's a race track and I don't know if Malcolm got angry but seriously, I laughed at my TV when this incident happened. I know Osbourne isn't totally in the right, launching into a flat corner less then a metre away from another rider isn't that smart. I've been loving all this aggressive, "right back at ya" sort of riding but as MC stated "ridiculous" it was, I didn't take the pass seriously at all. I've probably written too much, anyway sorry if this has been addressed.

He has definitely been the common denominator in a lot of controversy this year that's for sure.

Hey, If Barcia can knock'em down, then Mookie can block'em. I don't get the people that don't enjoy the entertainment factor in all off this! Y'all's lives must be miserable and saturated with boredom to bitch about every little thing. The only move this year that was bad was Alessi's Torpedoing of Tickle.

I think it's kind of silly when it goes from racing to a parking contest.

I think as soon as someone tries to slow the pace down in a corner by damn near stopping youve gone too far

What's a bet we'll have another one of those in 5 years time of Mookie and Barcia?


One can only hope, that would be awesome no matter who the riders are.

I like Mookie but he almost seems too immature to be at the level he is. Most guys go at it on the track and battle in the heat of the race. But he seems to almost throw a tantrum on the track and take it too personal.

He needs to learn it's racing not fight club.

Mookie's the one being soft, having a fit over getting passed.

It's a good thing there was no internet in the early 90's.

a brake check is not having a fit, it's been a part of racing for decades.

Did he really throw a fit?

It seems like a lot of people on this board are used to a completely different form of motocross than I am. To me, that was great and safe racing.

Did you hear the crowd?? They absolutely loved it.

Brake checking doesn't require coming to a dead stop sideways in front of the other racer.

I found it an awesome battle too bud, Malcolm's just been making a few bonehead moves. It was fun to watch though and that's all that matters I guess.

It was a little goony for sure, but better than putting a guy on the ground and breaking his wrist.

That was easily the most entertaining race of the night. Some of you guys are wusses, it was great racing nothing else to say.

Um, I don't think anyone has said it would have made a better race if it didn't happen and how does pointing out a goony, bonehead move make you a wuss?

waaaaah. I'd REALLY hate to see your version of MX! Motocross was a sport back when you were still swimming in your daddy's balls. Real racing with contact and everything...Hannah, Smith, Chicken, hell Sorby wasn't that long ago.... remember the weekly gooning by that spode?
