Good god this guy gets more press than the Kardashians. He’s got pulp pumping his tires, swap is practically married to him, I open up racerx and the privateer profile is on him, I’m sure he’s a great guy and everything else but spread the fucking love.

Have you tried bitching and whining about it? Maybe that’ll help

If you stopped listening to podcasts that would solve 90% of the problem

A Ray -DEFINES- the Privateer Struggle to make the Main.

I never get tired of it. His 'slug-outs' with Cade were some of the best stuff from the SX season. Especially the way Cade explained it as..."We're just racing. Its all good."

So, I ain't seein' any kinda problem, dude.

Vital users: PRIVATEERS NEED TO MAKE MORE MONEY!!!

ARay markets himself well and makes more money

Vital users: NOT LIKE THAT, I'M SICK OF SEEING YOUR FACE EVERYWHERE!

The blokes doing his job - promoting himself, and his sponsors.

He does it well - see his brief exchange between him and Weege, (both) getting in a plug for his Engine Builders - RaceTech. And heck, his exhaust didn't fall off................. Woohoo And, Weege got his $2 saving on a ARay 'Sketchy' T - in his words "I still won"!

He's trying to / succeeding in (I hope) making a living , in a difficult sport to do so, with a huge difference between the "haves" and "have nots".

I first stumbled across A Ray at a Singapore 'Beach Race' a few years ago, plying his trade. A Good bloke.

Your upset about a guy that has struggled and was at the bottom. now he's became one of the most successful privateers and one of the best personalities in the sport you want him silenced You seriously should probably just get kicked off vital for bringing this stupidity on here.

You should be happy for him, he works hard, races hard and markets himself well.

For sure there are other privateers and they will get their chance. Bitching about Alex getting all this exposure makes you look like a twat....Blink

Its a shame the promoters or AMA don't have people that can teach, assist other privateers to better promote themselves.

Your comment is just as intolerant as OP's.

Alex didn't just become a fan-favorite overnight. To me, his personality and work-ethic is what makes him endearing to people. He might be "bros" with the media guys, but if you pay attention, not many lazy or entitled riders hold that status.
You don't have to like the guy or be a fan, but being sick of hearing about him is pretty weak.
Who would you rather they interview or give coverage to in his place?
The other privateers get coverage too; Clason, Bowers, quite a few others in Supercross.
Seems you have some focused disdain for the guy so you are seeing this through some tunnel vision. Kind of like when you get a new car, all of a sudden you notice how many other people have your EXACT car.

I know the OP is getting shit on but I’m with him. I’m tired of the cool guy fluffing. Stories are cool, but the same one over and over and over gets old.

Tell me who talks about the inside of the MX/SX pro world better than Alex and AJ ? You should be happy to have a lot of details coming from pros.

I thought that this thread was going to be about stopping people like Matthes from constantly bagging on him like he's a squid. The dude is a legit pro. I know it's all fun but give the guy some credit.

His dad Ronnie is one of my best friends and I've known Alex since he was a baby. I think it would suck to be you.

To be fair, I understand your point.... just not about A Ray. I felt that way about 722, it was non stop about his over the top bro speech and rap career.

Aray is the old saying "its not about the grades you make its about the hands you shake" Shaking hands with swap, pulp and others in the industry keeps his racing career alive

He's being smart by making friends with the media. If anything, be mad at the media guys that focus on friends or buddies in their coverage. Might need to get one of those Sketchy shirts.
