Who cares about style. It's all about racing. Whatever makes you fast is good style.

Veccia, whatever the basis for "your opinion" is, you should reconsider. Don't post a list of the worst styles when you're clueless

What about your list,you seem to be the expert?

Best:
Anderson
Stewart
Barcia
Roczen
Villopoto

Special OG pick- Rodger Decoster (Mr.Smooth)

Worst;
Me
Myself
I
Those 2 guys I took out in the first turn last week....

Somebody loan me a picture of a really, really big bear...thank you.

I couldn't put together a list because there are too many guys I like to watch, but I especially enjoy watching Josh Hill. His style is closer to Stewart's than anybody out there.

top (various #) in fluidity, grace, and/or cool aggression...

best (in no particular order)

1. Wilson
2. Pourcel
3. Villopoto
4. Dungey
5. Anderson
6. Barcia
7. Roczen
8. Weimer

worst (in no particular order)

1. Grant
2. Stewart
3. Webb
4. Canard
5. Stewart
6. Alessi

Grant has great style!

Here you go Quick, they have some real Lu-Lu's in this thread...

Riding styles are like grips in golf. It doesn't have to be pretty to work.
Best style ever in my mind,,,,, Everts.

Kevin Windham... JMB...Pourcel...McGrath...Everts

It's pretty hard to get any smoother and have anymore style than these guys

Just from watching at my local track i'll watch guys go down the roughest line of the track, Throwing big old banger whips off braking bumps and trying to scrub off everything they can find, yes they look fast as hell until someone that looks like they barely moving... in MY opinion it's pretty sad now days in order to have good style you have throw a banger every jump that you see and be hanging your ass end out over the rear tire with the rev limiter hung out in 3rd gear to the point of frying a clutch or having to adjust the valves after every day of practice , yes it's fun to watch but I would much rather watch someone smooth in control and flat out fast but this is just my opinion

Me mate bill has the worst style for sure

agreed.. Not for his gear though.. The shit is foul..

Best in no order

Seely
Dungey
Reed
Kdub
Tomac

Worst in no order

M Stewart
Alessi
Martin
Weimer
Davi

All fast. Just love some styles better than others.
Carry on

As others have said their's a difference between style and technique so…

Style
Villopoto
AC46
Herlings
AC222
Anderson

The reason for those riders, is they all ride the back of the bike, They steer with the rear end, which is something they do with movements in their ankles aswell as riding on the balls of their feet. If anyone has tried to ride like this, its such a hard thing and honestly i don't think it can be taught… Ive tried multiply times to change my style to this, however it's so different to how i ride which is similar to stewart or dungey (leg out early, sitting an inch from your fuel tank in corners etc). The way these 5 riders ride,allow's the rear of the bike to keep in control …. How many times have you seen stewart get a rear end kick?

Technique
Canard
Dungey
Stewart
Reed
Pourcel

All these riders have a great technique .

I honestly don't know how some of you guys say canard has the worst style……. Have you guys seen him ride? His elbows are always up he sits on the front the bike. Similar to stewart, his leg is always in the correct 90degress bend. I don't know how he get's injured so much….

Getting injured a lot and having great technique have nothing to do with each other tho dude

Robbie Reynard is/was about as perfect as you could get on a bike but more brittle than hard toffee..

If this is about style, as in who looks good on a bike then the obvious guys are Trey, Chad, Dungey, Stew, AC, Weimer, Cairoli, Paulin.

That has nothing to do with speed or smoothness. KW is case in point, lots of people love watching him ride, but even by his own admission he sits down heaps, often has his elbows down and he even thinks he doesn't look that good. He's smooth as shit tho and does have moments where he looks sick! On his YZ125 days too, he used to stand a lot more!

It is really hard to tell, everyone gets riding style/rider preferences.

Best, maybe:
JS7
RV2
JB17
CP377
KR94

Wost:
I do not know, 1 thing for sure is that sometimes the gear does not help

the weird thing about Tony D is that he rarely took a really cool (stylish) still pic, in my opinion, but if you watch videos, he was smooth as hell - very cool style.

Don't really have a favourtie, maybe an old JS7 in the style catergory.

Rv is a good rider to watch IMO, so cool pics of him here..http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Badass-RV-pics,1259135

Villopoto in his 250 days had a cool style to watch, just his on the edge intensity.
As far as my list, in no particular order of riding styles I just think look cool not always "perfect technique"

Best:
Villopoto
Barcia
Stewart
Roczen
Canard

As far as worst styles to watch the only rider I can really think of that doesnt look that good on the bike is Alessi... Sorry Mike

This guy has style to burn. Like a slightly bigger stronger version of Pourcel. Tonus' style is pretty hard to fault too. A lot of stylish riders coming out of GP's these days compared to how it use to be.

Best:

Pourcel (Butter!) Hands down the finest style. The guy looks like he isn't even trying. I like smooth riders. guys like Anderson and Barcia look like they are trying too hard. They flap all around and add extra motion where none is needed.

Not to be blowing up the kid's spot but Martin styles is pretty wicked. Watching him accelerate away from the pack so quickly is very Villo-esque from his 250f days. And Martin seems to be attacking the track much like RV, where it was like he was mad at it.

Thanks but I got style for days
