Could you be a little more specific and articulate for us what "the last surviving Rider" means?

Last year the stars aligned for JA and it was great to watch.He gained points by people losing them at times. But with a healthy Roczen, Tomac, Barcia(?), Musquin, Baggat, Webb etc...this year will be hard for him to finish the season in the top 8.

The amount of secrecy regarding injuries in motocross is ridiculous. Marvin still won’t talk about his knee. Eli won’t comment about his back. Jason says he’s fine.

The season has already started, the results are coming in. Why still hide it?! It makes no sense at all.

What’s going on with this dude? He used to be so aggressive and fun to watch. Now he putts around and literally got passed like he was standing still. Kinda hard to root for the guy when he’s riding without any heart or determination. If I were Team Manager, I’d be looking to swap his ass out with Wilson. Does anyone have inside leads to this.....except Boomerang...
Pooter? Won't be the first time in motocross that this has happened. ?

If you need another example see Malcolms title 250 year, or Langstons 450 outdoor title

Hmm.... notice anything odd? [img]https://p.vitalmx.com/photos/forums/2019/01/21/319642/s1200_IMG_20190121_103236202.jpg[/img]
Hmm.... notice anything odd?

Self-explanatory, teams and media guys kinda of avoid talking about it as it might be too much of a treat for some variables and biz. Since forever when I read some post like in this thread it's just SMH how one can be visceral, dumb, and ignorant at the same time, it's sad, concerning and entertaining like watching police body cam videos.

Anderson has obviously spent some time off the bike during the off season. I too don't understand the secrecy. The cat is out of the bag. Everyone can see how they are riding. Go ahead and confront all the rumors.


The way Eli talks in this interview, it sounds like he doesn't have the bike dialed in to his preference:

Marvin talks about his knee here:

They don't want the competition to 'target' the injured area by racing aggressively in certain sections.

Once they've commited to toughing it out and riding through injury, they don't want to be giving themselves an excuse for poor finishes. Once you tell 50 media people the same reason why you're doing bad, it probably gets pretty ingrained in your phsyche, almost like a self fulfilling prophecy.

Maybe for insurance reasons. Once the rider says ' X body part is jacked' it has to be adressed and ignoring it is negligence.

Those are the only reasons I could think of but they're probably not the only ones.

Interesting...Here's what I've learned from reading this thread:
"Jason's not on Aldon's program anymore" (uh, wrong).
"Jason didn't ride much during the off-season" (wow. Sooo wrong)
"Jason got lucky last year"... did you watch last year? Start with Houston...and explain that to me.
"Jason's lost the desire because he's won too much" That one? That's hilarious.
"Jason's injured" Well, have you watched qualifying? Is it a sporadic injury that only shows up randomly? A magic injury?

Here's what I've seen...go watch the races that haven't gone well...and the ones that have...he's over-thinking this crap and he's, at times, getting back to just putting his head down and riding the damn motorcycle. We saw this for a bit at PHX and even A2.

Going forward...and then backwards...ain't the Jason I know. When he gets things all sorted out...he'll be the usual Jason we've seen.

Sounds like we got ourselves a Jason Anderson fanboy! Only one I've heard of. Chances of you riding a ktm or husky; about 85%.

Yup

You got me!

I even print my own counterfeit autograph-line tickets and, yes, I recently got myself a new KTM.

I have to admit, I'm a total fan boy and know nothing about this stuff.

It's like some of you never watched a season of supercross, or have a really short selective memory.

Jason is a really fast rider, he can ride until his last breath, never stop pushing until the finish line. He proves it in the lite class and last year fighting with musquin, tomac and roczen, outspeeding them in a lot of race, puting balls on the line when needed.

This year though, he says than the offseason was tough with all the obligation due to his title. I believe him, that must be hard to stay focus and feet on earth when the money is raining on you, and you got all the attention from the industry, it's not a lite title.

So i guess it was a bad off season, he really seems out of shape and rythm. Plus he probably hide an injury.
And maybe the mental is less strong, but that goes with the above statment : exhausting off season + minor injury = hard to take risk and be on top off the game to defend a title.

Maybe he just hasn't found his groove yet. He likely has been training his ass off for months, could be run down energy wise and now has to switch gears into racing and chasing wins. All we see is the tip of the ice berg of these guys programs every saturday night. He might take a bit of time to transition into a racing mindset, but I'm pretty sure he's not done.

Seems like a real lackadaisically attitude anyway, surprised he ever won a championship.

Yes I know podium rider which is great. I just wouldn’t trust him as a 100% champ with decent competition

What is a 100% champion? Everyone lined up at A1 last year, healthy and ready to race. Injuries are part of the sport, gotta be in her to win her. Guess Dungey was never a 100% champion either Whistling

People say how Kenny is the greatest and fastest thing since sliced bread....He has not won a race in over 2 years....

Woohoo Grinning Laughing

No kidding. Let Roczen move on and have a weekend where he doesn't watch that crash every opening ceremony. We all know its insanely amazing he's even riding again, let alone racing at that speed again. But please they need to quit beating the injury drum and let him race like before all the crashes.

For some reason I have never seen Anderson as a "factory" rider. He's great for the sport but on any given night, if the top guys ride as they should, he is a top 10 guy at best the way it seems. I know he finished second last week, but that looks like an anomaly this season. He goes backwards faster than he goes forward for some reason this year. Plus, I don't feel the other riders actually respect the guy as a great SX rider. I hope he wins a race or two this season, but I don't see it happening.
Even after his 250 rides. Even after winning the 450 SX championship last year , and even after the ride he had last weekend.......we still have people who think like this. Fucking amazing.

Anderson not a factory rider? Other riders don’t respect him? I respect your right to an opinion but I have one too: that is the dumbest bunch of drivel I’ve read in a long time.

Maybe losing his competition at the test track slowed him down? He mentioned in a Transworld interview that Zacho was keeping him on his toes and that he had some real speed.
