Not a tear shed on the podium. Yeah, it's a man's sport. Heck, even our privateer guys are hammering it, when other "pro's" are cashing it in....Props to Jacob.

Not fair tagging the whole country because of a few whiners. We race in far worse conditions than most of you guys could ever imagine. I agreed all along that that boycott was bullshit, but that's not typical. Besides, some of those riders were Americans.

Cashing it in? You really know nothing about Canadian MX.

Terry I guess we shouldn't bag on Canada for that, I truely enjoy thier telecasts and races alot.

I will bet they have rethought that whole deal now and if they pull that "boycott" crap again, they will at least not air the dam thing! LOL or make it like we do here, "who ever shows up at the line is who is racing"....... that takes care of that crap in a hurry..... Here locally it's pouring rain there are a few tracks that run, no question. It's cool.

Jeezus H. Christ. 'Fess up.
Conditions in the Canadian MX boycott was about half as bad as what Daytona was. Shit, wasn't even close. I don't recall heairing one whimper out of our guys. Canadian MX was good, but I have I'm getting the feeling it's good editors and camera position. I guess that explains why Klatt, who was dominant, can barely break the top 10.


The AMA racers fucking rock.

That whole deal was more about the pussy factory supported riders staging a boycott to get a better deal from the CMRC. I was there and the conditions that day were not half as difficult as tonight. It was all just politics, not so much pussification. Still haven't heard any resolution on it....wonder if the fuckin CMRC is gonna buy me a ticket to watch that National again this year.

the boycott was bullshit . no question about it .

the mud was really not the issue though , it was more about how the riders are treated by the cmrc . monster signs on as series sponsor and puts some big money (for canada) into the series and the purse goes up by .... nothing .

i am all for the riders speaking up when they are getting screwed but the way they did it was all wrong . walking out on a paying crowd in the middle of an event is the most unprofessional thing you can do . in the end it totally backfired because the cmrc (with the manufacturers consent) reduced the points fund money so the riders made LESS money and made themselves look like pussies .

nice fishin jt . <img class= " title="Laughing">



ps , six privateers did line up and race and they were given the money .
