Haters gon hate, when was the last time we seen a healthy Durham? Back when he rode the eleven10 bike, had great results and had a lot of fun. Some people ride better when not under pressure.I'm pumped for them, been friends with Darryn for awhile tho so I may be biased. I think his results will surprise a lot of you come the end of the east coast. Most of you on here just fuel his fire to do even better.

Thats alot of effort and $$ to have fun and race supercross on a 250.
Companies pay money to field riders so their brand gets exposure from the people who buy koto products. Fasthouse is sending two riders with a lot...
Companies pay money to field riders so their brand gets exposure from the people who buy koto products. Fasthouse is sending two riders with a lot of fans to races outside of its local California market. They'll get attention, they'll look good. Money well spent by fasthouse.

Also, all you guys who complain about privateers and small teams struggling to make money in the sport need to embrace this sort of thing. The biggest way riders get attention is by winning, but 21 other guys have to show up for that to happen. If riders are going to make a living doing this it will be by giving exposure to sponsors so they can get paid. We all need this.
I hope they take it seriously since its a ton of money people are investing in them. At that level it takes money for parts and techs to keep a 250 going.

Bereman's an animal off road too. Grew up around Nathan Woods here in our area.

As a friend to both of those guys and a pretty big part of their program due to my involvement with Fasthouse; results are cool and a bonus for sure, but we all just want to see the dudes have a good time, film cool stuff, and show their drain plugs as many times as possible.
Wacker!! What up bro!

Hope these dudes kill it! DD has always found a way to the front of the pack, hopefully he can get some starts and do some work! That gear is so sick.

It takes a tremendous work ethic to compete at the highest levels in this sport and I don't think these two put in the work or make the commitment necessary to achieve those goals. Why race then and risk tarnishing their "free ride" brand by doing poorly instead of just making videos and finding new hills? Although the east field is so ridiculously weak they, at least Durham, should make every main, but still, doesn't make a lot of sense........

Gotta love the haters. While you're sitting on your thumb, bored shitless for the next couple of months, these two will be traveling all over the east coast, having the times of their lives. How's that wet your whistle?

You have to be shitting me, how do you know what is paying their bills? Some people have no clue about sponsorship and its actual scope.

So pumped for this. Durham is my hero. I like Beerman too, the hair creeps me out tho. These guys are sick and they'll have a few good rides, at the bare minimum. I wouldn't be surprised if DD got a top 10, or two.

Good for Fasthouse, willabsolutely be my next gear purchase, likely Bronwyn too.

Uhm, "serious" rarely pays the bills in this sport! Might as well have a great time while young and have no responsibilities then move on with life................

Can't wait to see what DD does. Like someone above mentioned, when he was really killing it was when he was on the Eleven10 team and had some freedom. I grew up watching him race locally so maybe I'm biased but either way the video series will be really awesome regardless of results.

These two aren't getting laid much....

I'm sure the main reason Dungey and Tomac race supercross is to grow their hair long, make cool videos, and, mainly, have fun. Did I mention the number one reason the top pros race is to have fun? Tomac sure looks like he has a belly laugh of fun when he finishes 6th place. Or.... maybe serious racers train hard and suffer to try and win and be the best racers they can be and live up to their potential as professionals. You Einsteins still haven't offered an opinion as to why these groovy hipsters would want to actually race supercross instead of just free riding, making videos, and having the "fun" you are fixated upon. Is it just for exposure for Fasthouse products and gear or do they really just have fun being mediocre racers who may make an occasional main? If Durham wanted to put in the work, he could be a top guy but I'm not convinced that is his focus, which brings me back to my original question: why are these two racing supercross instead of just free-riding and making videos?

Because they can? Who cares. Merica! They can do as they please. Like most locals, riding all the time is great, but every now and then they want to line up and race. Difference being, these 2 can make sx mains. Different stage, same logic. Why piss in their post toasties

Probably because they have the skills and the backing to do it. Is it really that difficult to figure out?

I concur.

These 2 guys aren't "racers" anymore, they are "riders". How long will it be before either one gets hurt and won't be racing SX? I could see it if they were out there racing moto, but SX? When was the last time TB even raced SX?

They both will probably make the mains. I am not really sure why this is bugging me so much? The blatant hipster coolness of it all? The obvious promotion of product? (since these guys aren't really racing for first place, they are having fun afterall!) The in your face "don't try hard, just be cool, and you can still get paid, kids!" lesson learned? How 'merican is that Dtat720, to quote you?

Or, a lot of kids watch these free ride videos, you guys have talent to make mains, we will pay you to be brand ambassadors both free riding and racing. Take our west coast brand, and expose it to the east coast... And get paid to do so.

DD has the skills to be up in front if he starts well. He has won a sx race before beating KR and Barcia i believe in New Oleans. He may not win but could be a sleeper if pieces fall in place.
I don't know anything about the bikes, Iam sure he s on decent stuff givin his connections in the sport. I just hope he stays healthy the first few rounds then i think he could surprise the vitards, we shall see!!

Won't somebody please think of the children?!

Can you imagine how horrible of an impression these guys are going to make on kids in the pits? Just think, all they'll learn is that you can actually have fun racing and not get burned out, oh the horror! Better keep your young children up near the monster rig, ya know, so they are only shown a classy, respectable, professional style of advertising.Pinch Don't want them to get the impression that dirtbikes are fun and not just work, or something crazy like that!

I heard that they are training with Alden Baker down in Florida; he liked their drive and desire to win

Why do they have to do what you "think" is right? DD isn't a racer, how do you figure? He has had injuries, and a bunch of time off... still a racer.

You both sound like fucking clowns. Ridiculous.

Yeah, Gee, Those guys really suck. They should just quit. What a bunch of ass holes taking peoples money and not putting in the work and having too much fun. They should be pounding out lap after lap at test tracks only. Dirt bikes are not supposed to be fun. I just LOVE Ryan Dungey for his incredible work ethic (gag, choke, gag)









I swear, Some of you guys are Fucktards. I would KILL to be in their shoes right now.

I don't mind anyone who supports having fun, but if you like these guys for doing what they are , you should also like the guys who put in lots of work to be at the top. (Like RD).

Once again killing it with the videos! I cringed big time when DD hit his spleen, been down that road before and it's not fun at all, super scary feeling knowing something isn't right but you have no visible signs as to what it is.Pinch Hope you heal up quick DD!

Anyone know if he ruptured it or just bruised it by chance? I'm really hoping just a bruise because a rupture can take about 6 months to heal depending on severity, and that's a long time off the bike.
