You know that Americans are actually from every country right? Where do all the people from other countries go? They go to a (hopefully) better place, to become an American. I personally love to see the best foreigners come here, and get 2ND! hahaha
What makes you think that their own country is all that bad? Face it, it's all about money.
Oh and by the way, I don't get this

What a cherry picker. A 21 year old coming off of a near career ending injury. Is Weimer a cherry picker? What about Stroupe? Dungey and Villopoto had to have been cherry pickers. Canard is the biggest cherry picker there is.

Earlier in the evening, Messieu Pourcel ran the fastest lap of EVERYBODY.

That heat-race crash took a lot of his wind and steam away.

He'll be back fully fast and more determined than ever.

Let us not discount the ferocity of this young man's drive and courage.

Say what you will about him, but after what he's overcome in his career,

Toronto was but a small pothole in the adventurous road of life.

He'll also be the 2011 SX Champ. Called it.

"You know that Americans are actually from every country right?"
Just that if you are American, you can go back maybe a couple hundred years to find your great what-not was from somewhere else. But anywhere else can go back thousands of years and find out they were from right where they still are. It's not just money, it's also to have more freedoms, although that has changed alot though.

He went pro in 2004. That is 7 years in anyone's book but yours. Yeah, he was injured, and missed a year. We all know it. To say he's in his "second season" is, in a word, disingenuous.

So since this is his 6th year as a pro, he'll be riding the 450 outdoors, right. Also, you didn't count his supercross riding in the U.S. in 2007, nor have you counted any supercross he rode in Europe.

Oh, and how many years did Chad Reed race supercross in the 125s?

It was widely reported that he was making an effort to get a 450 ride. You should have forked up some money for him.

Nor am I. But I will not hesitate to call out the people who try to make him out to be some kind of 2nd year sensation. He's not. He won the "world" championship in 06. This is the 3rd year he's ridden supercross races in the U.S., and he's been a pro since 2004.

I just think you are to quick to ignore the road he has traveled to get here. He isn't some guy who wakes up every morning to his mom making him breakfast.

Ah, so now since some riders have the support of their parents, they should be belittled. I see. Nice.

From Wikipedia:

"In 2006, he and his brother Sébastien became official Kawasaki riders on the GPKR Team, which was started by their father, Roger, and Patrick Gelade."

So I guess it was his dad making breakfast instead, huh?

Pfffft.

Not like my opinion really matter at all but I just wanted to make a point for our French friend. I was at Dilla to witness pourcel's dominating performance. It was by far some of the best riding I have seen. I really love to watch him. He is a genius on a dirtbike. I love the sport and I love talent. As much as I wish he was American it don't matter. After every race he throws all his gear pretty much to the crowd. I mean he walked out of there in just boots and pants. Everything else was tossed to the crowd. Even to a bunch of assholes who were telling him to go back to France. Personally those people should have hoped their mother swallowed them when she had the chance. This guys has came back from a injury that most of us would be lucky to ride a bike again. I can't wait to see the rider he grows the become. I hope he gets better. The next 4 years in motocross are going to be some great years. He will be one to thank. I hope he surpasses JMB!

That's fine. Cheer for the rider of your choice. I personally enjoy the way Ryan Villopto attacks the track and wins championships. He has heart and guts, just like another red headed multi-time champ named RC. And if Pourcel is going to surpass JMB, he will have to do it by going through the buzzsaw named Villopto-not to mention a few others.

Hey don't get me wrong RV is my favorite rider. I am always pulling for him. Ever since he used to get the short end of the stick against the alessi's as a mini rider. I remember Loretta lynn's in 03 or 04 when he broke his collarbone in practice. That sucked. In my perfect world we will see RV and pourcel on the same team at some point in the big boy class. I think you will see pourcel, dungey, RV, and Trey seperate themselves from everyone else. Chad and bubba won't be around too much longer. They are on the outs. New blood is here with confidence. That's a dangerous combination!

To be honest, I could give one rats ass about Pourcel. The guy has the same attitude as JMB did when he came over here. He does his OWN thing. Doesn't ride at the Kawi track like his other teamates do. He isn't really media friendly. He trys to punt Barcia in the stands any chance he gets. He is just another arrogant Frenchmen than can ride. Being an ass all the time is just ridiculous. Karma is a bitch. And coming out on the podium and just saying I am going to win next week shows his complete disrespect for everyone else in the class.

There have been plenty a Frenchman come over here and act and treat the other riders and teamates with respect. This guy seems to have it in his head we are greatful to see him over here and watch him ride. I am glad he didn't get hurt, but I was glad to see him on the gound shrinking that big ass head of his.

but when they do, all they get from those same fans is a lot of bashing and shit talk.......
i guess you all would be much happy if the us teams would pick only b-class euro and aussie riders and you all could enjoy the beating they would get from the americas best..............
get over that shit and enjoy all the talent that is available for you to see......if you guys really like to see motocross, what does the nationality as to do with talent and speed, why cant you just give props to whoever deserves it......?????

"He does his OWN thing. Doesn't ride at the Kawi track like his other teamates do."
So what? Don't tell me you fear different people?
"He isn't really media friendly"
Hummm... So what? By the way, it appears he's making efforts...
"He trys to punt Barcia in the stands any chance he gets"
Isn't the contrary true too?
"Being an ass all the time is just ridiculous"
Sometimes he is...
"Karma is a bitch"
Karma is a bitch only for supersticious and believer people...
"And coming out on the podium and just saying I am going to win next week shows his complete disrespect for everyone else in the class."
He is a competitor. This is called being pissed and self-confident. What do you want, another drab speech "We're gonna see race after race blah blah, I'm pumped blah blah, maybe blah blah..."

Damn. I hope you are kidding? If not I sincerely hope some part of you hesitated when you typed that crap? Otherwise you are pretty damn fucked up and the road to mental prosper pretty is out of reach...

Because sadly for you, his future looks VERY bright, he will probably continue beating the crap out of a lot of Americans on a weekly basis, drain some of that money of yours (what's left) and get the major players attention and admiration. At the same time in your fucked up micro cosmos he will give you finger and laugh...

So either you change, go for the ride, admire his talent and be amazed by his road from being paralyzed to a another championship, and he choosed to live at your place, not in Europe where we all want him back (I hope) or you will suffer...

Good luck.

This whole subject matter is hilarious, I cant believe what a shit storm Pourcel has created just by winning/not winning a couple of races! Laughing

Some of the posts just come across as though they've been written by spoilt little kids too accustomed to getting their own way. Grow up and quit your whining.

Post a reply to: poocel's not as good as i thought he was
