Initially reading this, I thought I scrolled by a post by Chad but it was actually from his wife Ellie. Thoughts?

Would you react any differently if this post was from Chad himself?

Whatever - being able to see what should be done and being able to do it are two separate things. If anyone ever went to MTF or GoatFarm back in the day you had Mamma Milsaps or Jeanie C yelling at you and guess what - I don’t think they can hit whoops either. Doesn’t make the advice any less valid.

It’s going to trigger stuff because most men have extremely frail egos. That’s all. And she knew what she was doing when she posted it.

Aldon Baker was one of the best all time in the whoops.

Whether she can ride whoops or not, she's right about all those things.

She may not have the experience as mentioned. Also, her being around Chad has a ton to do with her post. BUT, did she say anything wrong? She did not

First few replies are expected...

Too bad she's right. She obviously has an eye for this stuff.

Spoken with Chad many times and Ellie quite a few herself. She was HEAVILY invested in Chads career and didn't allow him to cut corners or give him any slack. She knows whats up more so than any man friend.

On the point of setup, you would think for A3 most guys would have set their bikes up just for those whoops, even if it meant giving up some in other places. The whoops were the biggest divider, and therefore had the most potential for making time.

Isn't that the mentality a lot of the greats had toward their bike setup? Is it possible everyone is trying to have their cake and eat it too? Trying to make the bike good everywhere with little thought to focusing trouble spots?

Just thinking out loud.

Or Sonya Stewart.

Not to mention, the whoops today aren't made the same as 10-15 years ago.

But as has been asked several times and no one has responded, is she wrong?

Y'all have any idea how many of these guys were trained by their mama's?

Go talk to Kari Canard about how she knows nothing and was no help to Trey.....C'mon guys...

she mightve never done it herself, but she's had front row to one of the best in SX for 20+ yrs and i cant imagine a person like her just hanging out the whole time. im sure she was there watching and studying what he was doing to pick up when he doing something wrong etc

Millsaps mom and RC's mom both taught them how to to ride and race, yet neither were SX champs. she probably cant explain what it feels like but I dont see why she couldnt at least tell you what right looks like and how to get there.

When was the last time Aldon Baker hit a set of whoops? Several soft and insecure men in here.

The irony of a bunch of men saying that a woman who's never hit Supercross whoops isn't allowed to critique technique, on a forum solely consisting of Joe Blows that don't ride Supercross constantly critiquing the pros.
