He's been around a long time , and he looks faster then ever. Looks strong on the bike and really fluid. Don't need to say much else , just thought that he needed some praise here. Hope he has a good night , rest of the season and I'd like to see him do outdoors.

He has been around the pro ranks over a dozen years now. I think his pro debut was around 2005/6. He is a casualty of how cruel this sport can be to guys who can do really well but maybe not win. I remember when TLD first started up a team on Hondas he was one of their best riders always around the top 5. Went to H&H and was consistently good, but like my other favorite underdog Matt Boni good doesn't keep a paying ride these days. Tough sport to make a living in.

He kicks ass and was the king of the LCQ. Now he just goes directly to the show. Podium coming up one of these days.

He's the new A-Mart. Cool to see guys work hard and it pays off for them. Hopefully a good ride and $$ is in his future.

Matt Boni took over his Dad's AC/Heat business when he passed away a few years ago.
I see him on TV doing commercials all the time
He's married with a little Boni on the way

Here's one of his commercials

I really like Chris. He's such a good dude. We've met him several times at local races in AZ. Always rooting for him.

Been routing for him this year. His speed has been very impressive. I knew he was an older dog in the sport so cool to see how well he’s doing on a pretty much privateer effort

Awesome season from him! He is making an embarrasment of factory riders with way better foundations for success.

He is on a good B-level team but i hope he will get more support next year (i'm hinting at KTM/Husky factory service package, its not like their 250 effort is killing it in SX)!

Yeah Chris is a super good guy. I might not live in AZ any more but I'll always keeping rooting for Chris! Was it Atlanta where he was pitting out of a rental while racing the 450?

Yeah he's a solid rider and very underrated. Back in 2011 on H&H he scored a 4th in Vegas, behind Reed, Dunge and RV (I believe). Of course James torpedoed himself and K-Dub that night in the whoops, but still 4th in a 450 main is legit!

Won’t ever get a ride tho. Keep giving them to Cantrell and Bailey that have produced nothing. Bloss making those factory boys look like privateers

He started the season out solid and honestly given the equipment He's on vs the Factory guy's I though He was doing great.

But the last few weeks He has taken it up to the next level, Qualifying 3rd and leading a lap or 2 of a main is proof.

Sure would like to see him get a Factory ride and see what He could do with it.

I first met him at a local track when he was ripping a yz250 trying to make 450 mains in supercross maybe 8 years ago. Guy absolutely rips but was dealing with a serious wrist injury I believe. Big fan and great to see where he is now

That was a flash of brilliance tonight. Sucked he went down on that tough block. But I don’t think that spot had as much room as tv portrayed. Same place Eli shut her down. Bizarre pinch point.

He has been riding awesome. I'm hoping he pays Ferrandis back.

it was a racing deal, a little aggressive but it happens, Chris could have rode him a little tougher but I think what really caused it was the little kick he got going into the corner.

Still it's laughable that the French rider cross jump and take people out and they act like they are sorry on the podium.

Just like Marvin acting like Web did him dirty when Marvin is the most Polite dirty rider in the sport.

I am surprised that every time he and Jacob Hayes end up near each other on the track, the commentators don't mention how their AX series championship ended.

Both riders have surprised me too. Great to see them up there!

JGR should dump Hill and give Blose a chance.

And to be honest I expected more out of Hayes. Blonde has been faster this year

They might not be allowed to mention other series. I don’t remember SX broadcasts talking about Motocross either.

SX and AX were under the same series promoter. One branded part of the Arenacross series was the SX license requirement: "Ricky Carmichael Road to Supercross"

Jacob Hayes gets all this praise on the broadcast for being an "Arenacross star", but Chris Blose was always right there and battled with him for all of his titles and wins in AX. Blose is underrated.

Thought back when he was on H&H that Tedesco was rumoured to be getting all the ‘good parts’ no idea if this was true though
