Not even racing and still great exposure. Damn, some harsh words about chad though..http://www.nytimes.com/...games.html?_r=1&8dpc


Some Quotes: Travis Pastrana, a retired racer who competes in freestyle motocross at the X Games, spoke admiringly of Stewart: “He’s the fastest rider who’s ever thrown his legs over a motorcycle. He makes amazing riders look stupid on a daily basis.”

Stewart’s demeanor on the track has added to a war of words with the sport’s No. 2 racer, Chad Reed. “Until the other guy starts beating you with consistency, it’s not a rivalry,” Stewart said. “Chad’s the type of guy, if he can’t win, he’s O.K. with being second. Where if I can’t win, there’s problems.”

I don't think this is an accurate statement at all. I think Chad is one of those guys who knows how well he rode. He can win and still be mad at himself or he can get second and be completely pleased with his effort. He's the kind of guy that doesn't need to know where others finished to judge himself.

Stewarts comments are starting to get old. He can keep talking and worrying about Reed all he wants but Villopoto is going to sneak up on him just like Carmichael did to Mcgrath in 2001.

Why would one boast about that?

RV isn't gonna sneak up. he's gonna open a can of whoop ass, and James will crash out trying to beat him.

Doesn't sound like boasting to me. Seems like he's copping to a vulnerability a lot of people say he suffers.

He's not? RC and TP say it and it's still not true?

I saw that a few minutes ago on page 4 or 5 Rex. Timing is everything. Good article I guess. The only part I had a little issue with was the importance of the machine, but then it went on about a factory ride and it's hard to argue that point.

C'mon Dub. You're not supposed to bite on bait like that. I was looking to hook some of the large tool fish that frequent these waters not standup OG like you. Interesting reply from you though.

And yes, I performed a small mod to the quote.
