Is it just a coincidence your post count is 420?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
When it matters most he is. You would think he would get more love from the old guys who drink castor oil for breakfast lol, a little appreciation for the guy who doesn't need a perfectly prepped track to be at his best.
I’ve never seen anyone faster at the end of a soft, beat up SX track in my life. Watching how fast he closed on Eli at Oakland last weekend in person was one of the craziest speed drops I have ever seen on a track and I’ve watched a ton of SX races live and in person.
No one is faster in that scenario and luckily for him, over half of the tracks on the circuit break down that way, so late in a race he always has a shot. It’s wild to watch.

I have observed a pattern that when Eli comes up on a major record, he has little trouble tying the record, but struggles to break it.
Tell us how ya' really feel!
I have always thought Coop came across as a little cocky and arrogant. I really didn't hold that against him because when a dude backs up his shit...what are you gonna say that doesn't make you look jealous and douchy?
I saw him in the pits...kissin' babies and lovin' on the little kids that parents kept throwing at him. My perception of him and what I saw didn't jive...so I decided on a new perception. He's a-ok fellas.
That’s bordering on creepy stalking!
I like it 👍
We already know it's going to be 3, 2, or 23 for the title. 23 is by far the underdog. He's up against 2 past champions with more experience. He needs to pull out a rabbit trick and stop making mistakes. CW2 is the real deal. The title goes to 3 or 2 with 90% certainty.
Webb fan inferiority complex
So that makes someone the fastest… So if the top 18 all crash and A ray wins, he was the quickest huh.. Stupid
I thought maybe you'd reference his late-race lap times or the fact that he completes races in a shorter time than everyone else, but you went with some weird Jett comparison out of left field...interesting take.
I always thought Jett was a bit cocky (he probably is lol) but we ran into him in the pits when no one else was around. He went out of his way to be cool to my little one when he didn’t have to. He made my boys day, made a fan forever out of me, not to mention my son! I love that in this sport we have access to all these guys
What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it; well, he gets it. I don’t like it any more than you men.
What I don't get though is why that "balls to the wall when things are broken down" speed doesn't translate to the more raw gnarly tracks of the outdoor series... anyone have an explanation for that?
I recognized the screen name for some reason and went to check if it was the "Open Letter to Cooper Webb" guy and as I was scrolling through the threads he created I noticed a trend. Not the creepy guy, just a super fan!
Yes I caught the reference lol
I was expecting to see laptimes or something.
Pit Row
He'd be the quickest guy in that race
That's the type of stuff I think it was either 2016 or 2017, whenever he was chasing down Dungey in points literally gapping the shit out of him week in week out and when the time came for Tomac to lead the points he crumbled and gave the title to Dungey.
I think Cooper himself has said he struggles with higher speeds. Beat to shit tight twisty tracks? He's got it. Beat to shit 4th gear straights with long sweeping corners? Not his forte.
I was curious so I looked them up. First race Saturday Coop was 5th fastest lap time, 4th fastest avg lap times. Second race 3rd fastest lap, 1st avg. Third race 3rd fastest lap, 1st avg. A little better than I would have guessed.
You’re hilarious! ELI went off the track and was not pushing the last lap. That’s the only reason Webb was faster. Eli doesn’t care if he wins by 1 second or 15 seconds. He’s not going to send it on the last lap if he doesn’t have to.
What about the 10 seconds of gap he had in the laps before that he had lost before he made the mistake? You’re dumb if you think anyone is cruising in the last laps for a win if they know cooper is behind them. He has changed the way of mailing it in the last laps
Then how did he win 250 outdoor titles....
Disagree.
That got too close for comfort and too close to be calculated.
Eli wouldn’t let it get that close by choice because you never can trust the rider behind isn’t going to take a ballsy lunge on the last turn. (See Hunter Lawrence @ Tampa)
It was 5 second gap going in to last lap, not 10.
Had he not had the mishap, he would have won by 3-4 seconds. It was calculated. Eli is smart. Doesn’t push it in qualifiers. Just gets top 5 and then races smart in the heat and saves energy for the main.
Go look at the lap chart. He lost 0 time with that bobble. I was shocked. His laps were the same.
And there’s another important reason he wouldn’t let the margin for error get that small… ‘unexpected bobbles’.
