I'm a huge fan of RV and love to watch him ride... oh, and, I hope to see him race more, but if he doesnt, I won't hate him for it, because I have a life.

The end.

Here's a good example.

Rv said I'm doing outdoors when the whole time he knew he wasn't.

So when you book airline fucking tickets and accomidation to see the guy in action and then it all comes out its very disappointing.

I agree fans don't need to know what there every move is but bloody hell the fans make the sport what it is not the riders!!! With out fans it would be 20 dudes on a SX track by them selfs.

2. That's all....question number 1 was enough.
Matthes and JT both said he wasn't racing and matthes even called RV out and he still lied than they hire metcalfe as a fill in and still lie about him racing. Face it I like the dude but he lied

I think Jason was dead right about his RV article on RacerX. Ryan has done a terrible job keeping has fans informed for the last few years. In my opinion he needs to play it straight and tell the fans what he’s thinking. Or tell them what his thoughts are. An honest straight up approach is always the best one.
He commented on vital mx forum posts during an interview with racerX once or twice... Hell what more do you want?

If by "commented" you mean belittled the forum and threw Gibberson under the bus somewhat, then yea. Don't get me wrong, I still thought it was hilarious.

Don't stretch the point of mine or some other's here. I certainly didn't say he didn't "update me at my whim". This has been a year of mystery for RV's fans, eventually they get jaded by it (ask JS7 fans, including his former fans). Clearly folks are starting to get sick of it. Yeah he doesn't owe his fans anything, but his pile of secrets and LIES over the past few MONTHS is getting old. And yes, some of us will say good riddance to him. If you think he doesn't care, you are just more of a tough guy than me.

You have fun with your view there, that is fine.
It has been a year of mystery? The supercross season ended in May so that was only a few months ago. And what pile of secrets and lies? Sometimes I think people make things up.

You clearly haven't read this thread and are new here. BTW, I am an RV fan. There is nothing wrong with his fans being disappointed.

You're the one who said that he's given his fans a pile of secrets and lies. I'm wondering what this pile of secrets and lies is? Maybe you're disappointed because you've created a problem in your own head.

It was from a long time ago....back in something like 2008 I think. RV said the following in a 5 minutes with racerx interview.

http://racerxonline.com/2008/05/21/5-minutes-with-...-ryan-villopoto

You had a lot of “experts” on the internet saying that your girlfriend was a major reason for your struggles this year. What do you say to them?
I say piss off. Those people don’t know what the hell they are talking about. BobbyM and the rest of those guys have to sit there and pretend like they know what’s going on because they aren’t in the industry and they really don’t know.

Here the people talking about after....

Lol... Cept I didn't say anything about his girlfriend. I talked to him at the races and made sure he knew that and he said my name was the only name he could remember. Too funny...

Listen everyone! Everyone has their panties in a knot over RV! You can get mad, cuss him out, call him names, boycott his sponsors, do what ever! Everyone is going to have to get over it. RV has made his $Millions,won 4 Supercross championships, got a new Toyota truck and won many other championships over the course of his racing career. At this point he can care less if he is called a liar, SOB, MF, or any other cuss word you can call him. He has taken his money gone somewhere that he can be left the "F" alone and enjoy the next phase of his life! Everyone is going to have live with it and move on!!!!!

Wow, why can't we get interviews like that anymore!? That was awesome!Laughing

Oh ya, I know why, because there are too many idiots who harp all over every little comment, so now we just get the damn sponsor list. Great job guys.Whistling

For sure....the way he talked about Trey and j-law is unheard of in today's robotic / scripted sponsor reads. He was pretty candid in that one and I really wish we still had that type of open dialogue in interviews. I think RV is still comes across with that same style in today's interviews, but he's way more guarded in what he says and this causes people to think he acts a little pissy....not that he doesn't have good reason IMHO, he's been flamed for being so candid and I feel that's really caused him to give the interviews he does today. Also, in my opinion, he's burned out on the whole process with interviews especially considering all the winning he's done and how many times he has a mic shoved in his face afterward....that's got to be tiring, no matter how cool we as fans think it is.

Very true, he is kind of in a damned if he does and damned if he doesn't situation. If he lets loose and really says what is on his mind, some will flame him for being "unprofessional", and if he gives the robot interview, some will flame him for being too "boring". Honestly, I think he is actually someone who enjoys a bit of bench racing and trash talk that goes on in every riders garage. Hopefully once the spotlight is off him, he can really just cut loose and do what he wants, which will probably allow him to enjoy riding and screwing around again.

He even talks about retiring back then... Like he was already fed up with the life of a pro racer.
