Nice to see him qualify straight out of the heat Saturday night...in front of a lot of 'factory' riders.

Tony A has taught him how to cheat on the start. (Sarcasm) He already knew the roller ball moves ha ha

Not a fan and will never be one. Dude has gotten some speed lately, but still rides like an asshat.

That's okay. I'm not a fan of many of your posts. Yet here you are. Wink

I talked to Vince last week about that Semi in San Diego, where he and the Hahn brothers were going at it. He and Tommy had a chat after that race, and Vince told me the first thing he said to Tommy was that he was sorry that he'd cross-jumped him. (He said he caught a rut the wrong way.) He said he also didn't have a problem with the way that Tommy raced him...including running him off the track.

Vince has been at the receiving end of some take outs himself . Has he ever bitched about it ?
2/22/2016 11:09am
Seriously vince and alessi have talent and speed no doubt. They just need a solid program to put it all together.

Me too, if he just turned the aggression down a tiny bit he might do a bit better, but he is racing the big boys and doing very good, it is good to see someone non factory giving it to them instead of being pushed about

Every interview I've seen of Vince, he seems totally chill, down-to-earth and actually likable.....even after he was taken out. I think maybe he was a little aggressive in his earlier years to the point that now he has a reputation and he can't get away with what the average person does without catching a lot of flack. I'm a big Weston fan but after seeing Vince's responses in his interviews.....I'm a fan of his too!....and then I hear what was said after that heated LCQ with the Hahn bros...very cool! This is supercross, not tiddly wings!

His interviews definitely reveal how realistic he is with his approach to racing. Dude loves banging bars. Never complains about being taken out. There is some respect to be had in that regard. I do worry that he will impact a championship with some of his riding but I suppose this far he hasn't impaired a ship so to that end, keep on keeping on.

I respect that he's a great rider, you have to be to ride where he's at.

What I don't like is the way he rides with others. Especially some of the shit he pulled when he was up here, the take out attempts on Benoit, the shit talking off camera and acting innocent on camera.

Good rider, needs an attitude adjustment if you ask me.

I've heard a lot about Vince's history since I moved to Missouri. Seems he kind of came up riding super-aggressively and that most of the guys he raced with then all raced each other the same way. I guess when you get used to riding that close and physically, it just becomes your style. Personally I've seen him tone the over-the-top stuff way down, and seems to be a guy that can take it as well as dish it out...which is very rare these days. A lot of guys want to race hard, but get all bent when someone else races them the same way.

Over the last couple of seasons in my opinion the two most improved riders are Friese and Peick

I see Vince with a higher-level ride next year...Peick, maybe not so much.

Has anyone talked to him about his T boning Weston at A1 and getting away with it?

EDIT I was cheering Friese on at A1 and while not pleased even gave him a pass on the contact with WP in the heat race. The semi take out move however put me back in the camp I am now. There was no need for Friese to reignite past problems and I don't buy the "oh that's just the way he grew up racing" line either that someone offered. He's a pro now and should race like one

Yep I agree and this is a good topic.
Vince has proven himself by being at the front of many of this year's races even last year.

It's his reputation that people can't get over for crying out loud it's Supercross there's hardly any room to pass and he's racing the fastest Supercross riders in the world major props to him!

As much as I agree that rubbin is racing, there are times when Vince goes too far, I'm not sure what happened between him and Bogle, but I'd sure like to hear it from someone who was there.

I also agree with the fact that this is SX and passing isn't easy, but how many riders did Movin Marv put on the ground this weekend? By your logic, there should have been 3 or 4 guys picking themselves up after Marv went by. Vince is a good rider, but he needs to get a better understanding of when a rider is out of reach. If he had a little more patience or got out the the rhythms a little faster, he wouldn't have to come across the whole corner to pass someone, and that's when people get knocked down and Vince takes shots to the coconut. Honestly, I think thats all he needs, better judgement on whether a pass is available or not and to stop with the cross jumping, this weekend wasn't the only case. If you get caught in a rut like he says, there's not much you can do. But when you move over on a rider to block their line in the air, thats when I have a problem. Same as I wasn't a fan of CC moving over on Versace in the whoops. I like CC, but even as a fan I saw that as a dumb move

I like when Carnard put Marvin on the ground, I bet that had DeCoster in a uproar. Cool
