He got 8th right? That's not so spectacular, he would have trouble even qualifying for an SX main right now. Still, he has 5 months to get ready, he'll only get better.

Im more impressed with Brayton coming up to pass and gap Windham for second.

I hope KW has more in the tank at Unadilla...

About a month ago I said that cristian was gonna have a tough time at XGames..

I take that back, cristian rode like a seasoned vet out there, really smooth and really fast. I think he will be a title contender in supercross (he beat mcgrath in the heat race for gods sakes)

Hmmm, I was expecting more from him. Every week there was another video of him on here and his fans saying how he could pull a podium. I've seen him at Glen Helen and the kid can ride, but anyone thinking he was going to podium in this race was thinking with their hearts and not their heads...

He'll win a SX. No doubt in my mind. Might do some major damage if he keeps his head on.

He rode super tight after a really bad start. He took some rookie lines the first few laps and he got frustrated and rode tight.

All in all, it was a great experience for him and he knows what he did wrong.

Look for him on a blue bike for the rest of the outdoors.

While Christian Craig has some great talents on a dirt bike, he also has someone doing a great marketing program for him. I'm kinda liking how Dean Wilson is doing it. Through results-Kicking ass in Canada and then winning three Pro classes at Ponca and I am sure he will be tough to beat at Lorettas

He did great I believe.
1st pro deal, lots of name guys, plus some of
his soon to be peers as well.
Held his own in the heat race, & "J-Law" made a
questionable pass to get by him for 2nd............
3rd in his heat, 8th in the main, on a dry track,
impressive to me.
Props to him & his crew.

i had to race cristian alot on 85's.. i never battled with him but he was so god damn fast haha, i remember watching him do stuff that made everyone in the pits go "oh my god did you see that!!?!"

He will be a title contender, and if not. top 5, solid.
