Although I dig AC's riding style and such, he is already a factory amateur rider. That right there is a recipe for disaster the older he gets. It wouldn't blow my mind at all to see him never make it till the pro ranks.

What is the most remarkable point about Chris' win is the fact that he did it with probably less than half the support that AC gets. I mean AC is basically riding a factory Kawi and has all the resources that the kid will ever need to do well including some very high end PC suspension plus AC had the luxury of getting ready on the official Kawi SX test track riding with RV I doubt Chris Alldredge had a factory level track to prepare on. Thta makes it an amazing accomplishment ......Congratulations Chris!!!!!!

Here we go again talking about money winning races, I'm sure they both have great equipment. Time and time again it has been proven that success on a mini bike doesn't necessarily mean championships at the pro level (how many examples would you like?) The next "RC" or "MC"? Yep just like Huffman, Alessi, Stroupe, Warton, Izzi, Grant.............. They are both great riders but I hope they are living in the moment because it could all end tomorrow, I hope they are both getting a good education, going to football games, a Junior High dance and doing things NOT motocross related with their families because more times than not a normal life will be their future.

Thats not what was referring to .....what i meant too say is that AC has a helluva lot more support I mean c'mon who hasn't heard of AC in some form or another? I merely stated that AC has a much easier rode to this thing because he has a dam near works bike and was able to practice at the Kawi test track with Villopoto......does anyone know if Chris got to ride with James at the Yamaha track?

And you seriouslt think that AC and Chris bikes are even close to equal? I doubt it but if im wrong someone please correct me.

Im not trying to make a case here about fairness or money wins I was just pointing out the Chris beat a factory level 85cc rider and it was a amazing accomplishment.

I believe Aldredge was riding with outdoor suspension that they stiffed up with the clickers. I don't think he even rode a real supercross track before going to the US Open. Far cry from testing at the Kawi track with kit PC suspension.

AC will be back next year and will most likely dominate as the 13 year old in the 12-13 class. This was Aldredge's 13 year old year and 2nd shot at the US Open, he won just like he planned. Nobody mentioned him being younger last year when he lost. That is just how it is suppose to work, learn the first year in the class and win the 2nd. AC is just good enough that he can compete for wins as the youngest kid in the class.
We are only talking about a 2 year window, it's 12-13.
