My favorite thing about Hopper is how mental he gets people. Half of his stuff is just shit talking/bench racing and people lose their minds.

Personally I like the guy and realize that most of it is schtick.

I almost feel bad for some people who take everything he says as scripture or can’t get a hint at the sarcasm.

Not my favorite, but still an entertaining listen sometimes.

If an internet troll/keyboard warrior started a vlog they would take notes from Johnny Hopper. Seriously painful to watch how asinine his points are and the amount of confirmation bias he is looking for to "prove" himself right.

Probably the only worse thing is the youtube comments, seems like no one there sees through this guy, I am blown away by the support he gets on videos like this...

Remember when Michael Lindsay was on pulp a while ago, he was asked who is the worst or most embarrassing person in MX media? At first Michael didn't want to answer, mulled it over a touch, then said Johnny Hopper. Back then I didn't know why as I never seen or heard of him, now I get it...

The only reason JGR had factory parts was because they leased/purchased them for JS. JGR was not a full "factory" team beyond what they had the budget for, just like when JB rode for Moto Concepts. Hopper is an assclown.

Why? What triggers you so much about him?

Yes, he exaggerates a bit and takes some leaps but there is some truth to what he says. I love how the whole "Factory Parts" thing blew up and turned into Eli having to get parts off eBay. If anyone thinks that team mates are treated as equals they are freaking crazy. Do you really think that Jake Weimer got the same attention as RV did? No freaking way.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule where a team doesn't have a definitive #1 rider but most teams have a #1 and a #2. With the ascension of Chase Sexton everyone was wondering when it would become his team and not Kenny's. So far Kenny still is the top dog at Honda.

Hopper is busy sucking at the tit of Matthes and Weege. He literally just takes information out in the open and then spins it and makes it TMZ moto. He’s about as successful as Cannondale was in moto

Exactly.

Just some "epic" content derived from an actual moto journalist podcast and repurposed by john into a video for his own channel. True bottom feeder.

If I absolutely have to, I think I prefer listening to Cooksey.
At least he SAYS something.

I thought this was common knowledge. Stewy got special parts to get the bike comfortable for him while Davi was comfortable with their current package.

The gas tank was built in house specifically for Stewy to help him feel comfortable. They used a bunch of different motor mounts to move the motor around to get a different feel also.

Didn't sound like Davi was comfortable, sounded like he liked it when he got to raid James's stash.

That was 10 years ago, and common knowledge at the time. Again, what's that point of the video you posted? What do you mean by "shots fired"? Why is the video titled "more missing FACTORY parts" when this wasn't a factory team and no parts were missing? Even if this was some sort of revelation, which it is not, this dude didn't even elicit the information. He cribbed it from someone else's interview.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Surely we can all understand the difference between what Davi was saying (not enough new parts to go around) and Tomac “having his factory parts taken away”
I mean for christ’s sake you can see a bunch of the factory parts on Eli’s bike.
It’s laughable to think Kawi are not trying to win with Eli.
Imagine how bad Kawi would look if Eli goes to Yamaha and makes a big jump up in performance.

Another embarrassing video. And so is this quote from above:

"Exaggerates a bit and takes some leaps but there is some truth to what he says".

Mixing a bit of truth with lies, is still 100% bullshit.

The problem with social media today. People can say whatever they want with no facts/evidence and then get all butt hurt when someone calls them on it or yells censorship.
