I am not sure why this is even a thing, Hunter rode a fantastic race and was aggressive when he needed to be. Done and dusted. If a conversation is going to be had, it should be about how James made Ricky sound like a 5 year old in comparison on the broadcast.

Plus James has hit his head quite few times. LOL.

Hit his head or not, James is still a 2x champ and one of the best to ever do it. 

He knows a thing or two about racing dirt bikes.

Live by sword die by sword…. If Moisman, Deegan or Thrasher feel they were disrespected out on the track, they should return the favor. Only they know how they feel about Hunter”s passes. The 450 class will only allow so much before payback is served.

2x SX champ James Stewart said Hunter's move on Deegan was smart/good racecraft.  

I'll take his word for it. 

Coming from a guy who has a career of sketchy shit lmao. And I like James.

James has definitely made some questionable decisions, but there was nothing wrong with Hunter's move. 

Deegan was also smart enough to realize what was happening and held back. Some guys would have went for it anyway.

Hunter was way out of line, I mean racing hard for position when moving forward shouldn’t be allowed! There was way too much contact like this….

After seeing that first move on Mosiman(and the other two) Hunter could be the new Barcia, but he might not be as good as Barcia at getting away with it. Playing with fire.

Mosiman was off balance because he was expecting the incoming hit....

 

Listen to the clip above again... Blair  said DEEGAN had smart racecraft for not going for the jump when Hunter pinched him off.

Bro, the racecraft was #96 making the pass and shutting Haiden down safely.

Kudos to Deegan for his safety glance back after not contesting.

Jett thumbs up. 0.JPG?VersionId=jDZ6V6si

Thrasher reached out to shake Hunters hand, not just fist bump after the race.

Mosiman versus the Bros. has been a thing for a while now, with Michael probably not on top.

Yeah, pretty much. Even RC said it was clean.

I tried buying Fosters here and nowhere sells it. Found one site that only sells it in slabs. What does it taste like?

Hunters little Bro will continue to make him his bitch for the remainder of Hunter’s career.  It’s gotta suck.

I agree with you but there was a point with the worst intentional torpedo like when Kiedrowski ghost rode his bike into Larocco  that there was a large gap between the two.  I had zero issue with any contact that occurred after this pic (if there even was any) you posted here.  But it’s just a false narrative that this is as close as they got.

Just because you shake a competitors hand after a good battle, does not mean you don’t want to kill them….. if Thrasher is a warrior, he wants to kill the Aussie….  Metaphorically speaking….IdK… I”m old school…. Where you have to hate your competition… not sure about today’s youth…

That's the problem with rabid fans.   They can't take any comment that isn't nut swinging on their guy.

I got nothing against the Hunter bros....    Incredible talent both.     I simply said, Hunter has gotten pretty good at the take outs.

Actually, there is one thing I don't like about them....which isn't their fault at all.    It's the over-saturation coverage by the media outlets of them.  Give it a rest.    Even Jett was annoyed that he was interviewed off the podium earlier this year.

Not disrespected, just beaten.

When you blast your friend and take him out and don't even apologize or ever acknowledge it and let it sour your friendship instead, it sais a lot about your character (shimoda). Never liked hunta.

The media coverage is warranted.

It would be difficult for the media to not to talk about them when both have great personalities, both are race winners, and both have the red plates in their region. 

Did Jett have to be interviewed after the heat race? No, but I can see why their pushing for it. 

Like Weege said, if other riders want to be talked about they just need to go out there and beat them. That or show some personality aside from "Yeah, no. I can't thank Monster Energy, Dunlop..." 

Riders need to learn how to better market themselves. If they don't know how, there's people that do it for a living.

I'm just saying there is just an over-saturation.  It's like the popular song on the radio that gets played to death.   It burns people out.    Honestly, I find myself just fast forwarding thru all that stuff now.      Blah blah blah blah...  

As far as winning and being talked about (ala Weege).   When Webb started winning in 2019....there was a lot of coverage about him...which is what you would expect.    Same with Eli when he switched up to Yamaha and dominating in SX...lots of coverage there.      Yet with the Lawrence bros (moreso Jett) the coverage is on a whole other ridiculous cram it in level.

I don't follow instafarcebook or any of the social media stuff....are they not friends anymore?

I have to say, if that's the case, it is pretty shitty it went down like that.
