melt down when RV got hurt?

Everybody seems to be so upset that Alessi lost "his" championship?

Wasn't it really "RV's" championship in the first place? or hell, even "James"?

So, if, (god forbid) something happens to Chad, will he have lost "his"? Why even race the series then?

Because RV has won many championships and will probably win more of them
Where Alessi has none and this might have been his best shot at a title.

I watched MA's disaster, in person, at Red Bud last year, so even though I haven't posted about his knee, I am quite disappointed.
I attended Freestone and have been watching rounds 1 & 2 on tv.
I had high hopes for the 450 class this year and MA was a MAJOR part of it.

Because RV wasn't going to win it anyway, he is somewhat reckless in style, if you noticed how smooth Mike looked last week, RV got off lucky if you ask me...

True, I suppose but, to me it was a bigger loss when RV went out, only because him and mike would've been battling... I'm an RV fan, but moreso a racing fan.

Lenny, what we need is for you an a bunch of other posters here, to practice a posting style more along the lines of this. "Because, in my opinion, RV wasn't going to win it anyway. In my opinion, he is somewhat reckless in style."

There's a very big difference between that, and what you posted.

GuyB has a point. Many of us need to use a different approach since rarely these things we spit out are facts.


You could say the same shit differently without the provokative angle? I sometimes suffer of this as well.

Just saying...

Since when are three people "The Board?"

You have to discern when Bob is blathering or actually sending out his gems of information.

There were a lot of "participants" in said meltdown.

The "gems" are the ones with "*&^chuggler" in them? I'm confused...

I think it's partially because that's two down. Folks get hurt in this sport and seeing RV go out was a bummer, but it's his first season. MA's been trying for a couple years and it looked like this was going to be it.

I'm more of an RV fan, but seeing MA go out too bummed me. What with the SX only crowd out, that top 10 is looking lean star wise.

Well when someone posts something like that it's pretty obvious that it's an opinion... IMO



It kind of goes along with the nature of a forum that most posts, unless stating some news update, are opinion...

Why is it alright for some posters (e.g. Knuckles, MXdad??, R-acer, etc) to bash certain riders (e.g. CR) endlessly but some riders are off limits? Is it because some riders have family that post here and some don't? (honest question)

P.S. I don't like to see any of it.

I also have noticed this . IMO , it seems that any foreign rider is absolute fair game to say anything about . It reminds me of the terrible treatment that JMB received in America and it sucks .... IMO of course .
