Trey screwed up and took out Reed, As soon as Reed got going I knew he was going to park Trey and sure enough he did. Trey should have know he was going to get punted. I am not a Reed fan but I would have done the same thing and I dont think it mattered if it was Canard it could have been any other rider and Reed would have done the same thing.
Actually, we're in agreement. Your other post made it sound like there was a pattern of Trey doing stuff like this. He may ride on the edge sometimes, but I don't remember many incidences of him endangering other riders (unless it was punting RV back in their 250 days).

TC pushed a iffy move and took the both of them out, he admitted as much. I know CR was pissed considering he was having his best race of the season, and yea, I knew retaliation was coming as well. I'm a huge fan of both riders, but in the wake of this, I think Trey has done a better job of owning his part in it. Actually, I'll be glad when Saturday comes and we can all move past this.

Not fishing at all, I would have been pissed if I was Reed and done the same in that situation. No one is saying Treys a bad person and I picked him to win the championship this year but it could have been any other rider and Reed would have done the same thing but now that the race is over its water under the bridge.

Brotocross hit the nail on the head with his opinion. Over the years, Chad has made some horrible racing moves that were no different than the one Trey made Saturday. He's always the first guy to call wolf when things don't go his way and is always the first to point fingers at others. As for Trey, great talent but Chad pretty much called it like it is, the guy just don't think sometimes.

Chad and Tony Stewart have a lot of similarities, both have self proclaimed themselves as the voice of their sport and believe they can do no wrong. When something doesn't go their way, all of a sudden, they have a plan and think the association should be in fear. Although Chad's take out on Trey wasn't that bad, at least he didn't accidentally kill the guy like Tony did.

I agree with that, Reed is taking about a riders union only after he gets black flagged and would want the riders union to back him up. I do not think he should have been black flagged,it should have been dealt with after the race because now there is no way to fix it if they admit they made a mistake, not that they would ever admit it though.

Las Vegas SX 2009:

Go to 1 hr. 14 min and watch about 2 minutes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s31IOjWCmIk

Quote from publication:
In the lead up to the Las Vegas Supercross finale there was only 6 points difference between Stewart and Reed. Stewart needed a top four finish to secure the overall 1st place (assuming Chad won). Villopoto lead the majority of the race with Stewart in second until lap 15. Stewart allowed Reed plenty of opportunities to pass however he gave up chasing down Villopoto to have a shot at taking out Stewart. Reed made an aggressive pass momentarily bumping Stewart off the track. Stewart got back on the track an rode to a 3rd place finish that secured his championship whilst Reed rode to a 2nd place and a 2nd place overall by a difference of only FOUR points.


The difference between retaliation and going for a championship.

I've heard this same statement from other members on other Black Flag threads and I don't get that at all.

Did Trey make a mistake? Absolutely. Was it intentional? Absolutely not. He made a bone head move. Happens all the time in racing. Nothing intentional about it.

Can we stop with the effing 'nailed it'.

You can find 10 different takes on this by industry/insiders that all 'nailed it'. The only difference is which take on it you're trying to spin.

At this point I'm ready to penalize both riders just for putting us through this crap.

Wow. Looking at the video again, The contact did not knock down Canard. That bump just barely changes Trey's direction, and Trey, still upright, rolls about ten feet then over the tuff block. Punt!?….. funny

I heard booing and cheering from when Trey hit Reed and then again when Reed hit Trey, maybe you can do a poll and count how many people booed or cheered,but it defiantly got loud, and how much booing is there in a ton?

There's and idea. Just let the crowd make the rules as the race goes on.
