If you watch his RBSR videos he seems to be trying to fix that bridge for himself at least.

For everybody hating on him if you think about what he seems to be doing it really adds value to the sport.It would be great if "respected media" members would spend a bunch of time talking to the privateers but the reality guys like ML don't have the time to go talk to the guys that are struggling to get to the races. I may not want to watch every privateer video and I may not give two shits about Hopper but I know that more eyes on the guys that never get attention can never hurt.
Steve has privateers on his show every week and hands out bunch of money to privateers every year even held supercross race just for privateers last year . All his post race interviews usually half privateers and half factory riders

I like the direction he is taking his YouTube channel. Seems to be putting a heavy emphasis on privateers. He is talking about trying to get a press pass from Feld and I hope he gets one. It's good to have a guy give some love at the races to the guys that are filling the field.

Ever heard of a guy named Steve Matthes? He does more for privateers then all of them combined. Has a privateer island podcast with 189 shows to listen to, raised north of 100K, has his own race for Privateers. He also helps guys with getting parts, gear and sponsors. No need for Johnny Rabbit.
While true, you have to get past his inflated ego and the constant I did that, I did that. That's called being a narcissist.

But yes he has done some really cool stuff for privateers.

Hopper is leading the way in moto media. Don't you guys remember when he reported Kawi taking away Tomacs factory parts? Thats why he went to Star Yamaha

Cant be any worse than Cookie or Cooksey or whatever it is. Dude just puts up a board behind his living room wall and a 1970's Jersey from some local rider in West Virginia or somewhere and calls it good and starts talking moto lol.
That's funny shit right there...

Is it because you seem to be obsessed with both of us while we don't care about your existence at all?

Because you both post stupid shit over and over and over again. I already explained that to you and most of vital agrees. The number of dumb threads you create is mind blowing. Just stop.

Do you lack the control to be able to ignore something you disagree with?

The whole thread was started to say it looks like JH is trying to rebrand himself or change the image of his channel which I approved of. Give me one reason why that is so offensive to your snowflake sensibilities. Can you find anywhere in the thread where I said JH is a media God and all should bow to him?

Well.... you did kinda try to make it sound like Hopper is some kind of visionary because he's talking to privateers when that isn't even close to reality.

You then used Allessi and Izzi as examples of "privateers". That didn't seem to relevant either.

I didn't imply he was a visionary, just that this new take is better than what he was doing. I wrote something informational so people could make their own minds up. My opinion to you is irrelevant as yours is to me. I put examples up just so if someone was interested in what they had to say. Hell, I'm not a Stank-Dog fan at all and I was fairly interested in what he had to say. I even said that JH needed to smooth out the Privateer Cribs but I like the idea of checking out rigs. I always like seeing moto vans.

Bottom line is more moto content the better.

I like Johnny Crack-Hopper, except for those hideous noises he makes at the end of every video. The man needs help.

Every time I click to watch one of Hopper's videos, I feel slimy about myself.

I mean I know its wrong but I do it anyway and then I hate myself.

I'm doing a good job of saying no to Cooksey these days....Master of My Own Domain and all that.

Mental image of Hopper, Cooksey, and Walty Wanders...

More is better isn’t always the case. Hopper, Cooksey, the dude who self titled himself coach rob, and the other dude who just started aren’t even considered media. Posting click bait videos and just making up shit as you go isn’t media or another take on something. It’s sad these grown men try to be something there not so they simply don’t have to go get a real job. These guys are losers. Bottom of the moto industry.

Hopper is the guy who said they took away Eli's factory parts when they found out he was going to Blu Cru. That's the day I made a promise to NEVER listen to anything he said again.

Just a dude trying to scratch up some extra money and fringe moto celebrity by talking rumor and half truth. This is just what "news" has turned into these days, he's a tiny reflection of a much bigger issue with the creditability of what passes for media and people eat it up. Just like with the Loretta's/Deegan fiasco, some people take what these clowns have to say at face value and others hunt down the real story from other more credible sources, then we have ourselves a nice little slap fight on here about what's really going on like we know.
