And i never said RV "would" be another RC. I don't think anyone in the next 10-20 years is going to beat RC's record as most overall wins and championships combined.


BUT...RV is the real deal. His outdoors last year was incredible. His few years on the lites bikes indoor was awesome to. And lets not forget the MXON ride he put in.


Jlaw....had an awesome ride tonight , and even if RV would have started with him , he didn't put in Jlaw's lap times....but he didn't have much of a chance either. he was one of the last guys around the first corner after that pile up. And Jlaw had M.A.'s number as well.


getting off the subject.....


RV will win some big bike championships. Possibly a few indoors , but outdoors when he's all done in about 7-8 years from now....i think the only guy who will have more outdoor wins than him , will be the goat.


one more thing.....it would be cool as hell if Jlaw switched his plans and raced the 450's this year outdoors. Imagine the battles between him , RV , M.A. , and a couple others. With Stewie and CR out.....it's going to be some of the best racing we've seen in years.

From what he said on Trans MX he will be.

Since they arn't running the 250 2t and JS isn't running he said he would run the 450's. Nothing is in stone though.

I am sure he still is. He had nothing to lose only riding one race and was handed a gift. I would be a different story if he had to race the whole series. If it wasn't for the crash he would have had to work to be in the top 5.

nope did not miss it , did you not see Jlaw put a whooping on RV last night. My point is the rules allow a 250f to run in the 450 class for SX. Last year there were several races where RV had as fast as lap time on a 250f as Reed. Why not let RV run a 250f at a round.

KW is not a legend. He is not even close.

Other than that your post makes sense.

You think JLaw is ever going to be a serious contender in any class? no.

RV? Yes.
Ummmmm I think last night proved your post wrong.....do you need to watch the race again? How does this guy (On his FIRST 450 race) go out and set the fastest qualifier on a privateer bike? Right he is not a contender

I dont think some of you were even watching the race. RV put on an killer charge after being caught up in the 1st turn mayhem, caught and passed Mikey and KW to get into 3rd, only to stall the bike and have trouble starting way late in the race.



He should be stoked how good he rode, yet pissed for making a bad mistake and then caught in the 4 stroke curse.

RV is thinking " Damn, If I would have cut the first turn out of the track too, I would have won"

OH BY THE WAY, DID YOU SEE THE CHARGE HE PUT ON KEEPING WITH rEED UNTIL HIS BIKE STALLED?


You know nothing idiots that think RV cant ride a 450 really make me laugh. The great Goat took 2 season to win his first SX race and never podiumed his first year. Look back at some of the greats in SX and see how many outside of McGrath and Stewy won their first year.

He wasn't keeping with Reed. Don't be delusional.

He wasnt? Did you see the race? He was about 2 seconds back in 3rd when he stalled it.

RV will be battling #800 this year in the outdoors. The fact is, he hasn't set the world on fire transitioning to the big bikes. J-Law rolled off the couch and beat his ass, plain and simple.

I like the kid, but right now, he isn't the next RC.

Half of Reeds laps were faster than Villopoto's best.

Well, probably not, for those that actually know what's going on. On the other hand, for you, yes.

which is totally mind blowing.
