I like how they say that local pro is faster then JA 801, and number 2 is why you dont want a KTM

JA 801 makes SX Lites mains and MX outdoor top 10's and if local pro don't make SX Lites Mains or outdoor MX top 10's he oughta keep practicing.

Local races for riders who run the Nationals are PRACTICE. Sure they wanna win and make money but it is PRACTICE.

You can't, as a National Pro show up and be expected to turn it on every place you show. Occasionaly, some local is gonna get all hot and getcha.

Just like local pro can't get to Unadilla and take JA 801 down in lap times and overall results.

Only 28 races matter.

12 outdoors matter alot.

and 16 indoor races kinda matter during the time that the 12 outdoor races are not being run.

Everything else is Practice.

The number 1 crash from last year was either Reeds big crash where he claims the bike bogedWhistling Or Alessi's big crash.

Haha wow, sorry for the controversy!! Looks like we got some JA fanboys here! The fact remains that Adam Metzler, Ross Johnson, Tiger Lacey and a few others were taking it to Jeff that weekend at Washougal. Sure, like someone said, it was a local race and maybe Jeff wasn't riding his best...but it was only Mike that dominated over the privateers.


Would Jeff beat them now? I would say a definite yes, he got really fast over the summer.


And to clear up any confusion, I said in my post "the best moments from Pacific Northwest racing in 2008." Sorry to anyone who is disappointed that Mike Alessi's big crash isn't in there...these are all from Washington and Oregon!!!

wow. horrible. "sorry jeff, picking fights with privateers that are faster than you...". i thought jeff was a privateer also? and faster than him? i dont think so. im not an alessi fan by any means, but a statement like that is sooo far off, and it sounds way worse coming from that chicks mouth.

The vid was well done! I haven't seen many fanboys on vitalmx.com though...especially for J Alessi.

I would say the only adder would be "thankfully there were no serious injuries." Made just a little light of the bodyslams these guys take.

And damn that dirt looks cherry. I want to ride those tracks.
