Found a clip on Youtube of Huntah's take out of Ando. What a pussy move.
Of all the letters in that post you choose to take one line out of it.
Try to understand that my point is that i don’t want to see riders on the ground caused by other riders that can’t make a clean pass.
It’s a clear difference between American racing and the rest of the world, where you call it rubbin is racing and are fine with takeouts while in Europe that kind of ”racing” is not a positive thing.
Some say starter cross and that it’s impossible to pass but clearly some riders can come from close to last and almost podium in a main event without hitting another rider on their way to the front?.
The main problem here is not the two incidents with lappers, the problem is the things that led to it.
The rest of the world doesn't race Supercross like we do, Supercross has more contact than Motocross because it's in a smaller space.
Same can be said for Arenacross, more bumping and banging there than Supercross because it's in a smaller space.
Kinda common sense really.
No it’s not since the top riders race clean and then you have the next segment with Barcia and Anderson that has to do crap like this.
Since when did the top 5-7 guys become the norm for how racing should be?.
It’s clear that you have ran out of talent when you have to take out the rider you race against instead of passing him.
And i guess some people in the AMA think of it the same way since Anderson is on probation. The thing with probation is that it rarely lead to something.
As someone said. If a rider get out of line, hit them where it hurts (points and race ban) then they will clean up their act.

They're both midpack goons in my book
So your stance is there should not be any contact in racing at all?
I don’t see any need for it. As i said, for me contact is made when your riding won’t cut it anymore and it seems that the best riders out there feel the same if you look at how they ride.
I follow AMA SX/MX, F1, Speedway GP, some MXGP, All moto GP classes and some Indy car and i just want good clean racing without the cars or bikes hitting eachother.
The racing is often better that way than one rider ending up on the ground.
Fair enough, we'll have to agree to disagree.
I'm kinda a believer there is a reason the saying "rubbing is racing" has been around for so long....we don't need a bunch of dirty riding but nothing wrong with getting in there and bumping someone outta the way if that's what it takes.
Especially when SX tracks have become super one lined, everyone doing the same exact rhythms and not much out there to separate guys to make passes.
You are obviously basing your opinion from the futures race which was taped earlier in the day but shown during the broadcast...the stadium for the night program was full
I can say that my line goes where the other rider goes down. A nice calculated blockpass or rubbing elbows is one thing, but when it comes to that it’s a fine line before one get down.
yes, we can agree to disagree 👌🏻
Apparently just Hunter was fined in addition both riders received a written warning per Vurb

Aggressive/Reckless riding.... What complete and utter BULLSHIT.
One more nail in the coffin of the once great Supercross sport.
Well it was aggressive...TBH I think they got it right for both.
Are you OK?
Okay from this angle I see your point. I wasn’t able to watch the race live and from another online video I saw at a different angle I thought Hunter started to tuck before impact
Fair assessment by the AMA although the written warning to Ando is excessive IMO. Racing incident.
Not excessive when you continually have “racing incidents”.
If you've stopped watching (you've told us all 10 times now), can you just go away?
Pit Row
Can you imagine anyone on the planet giving a flying fuck about what you think at this point? You've made your bed.
Anderson wasn't reckless though , I mean he was able to keep going .
I didn’t really pay attention to the attendance at SLC Don, but it does look like there are a lot of empty seats at a lot of the races. I went to the Nashville round and the entire upper deck was empty that was across from me.
I guess there could be ‘no shows’?
Maybe I’m jaded though as I always attended the Atlanta races where every seat was sold during the dome days.
Different times I suppose
Agreed, he would have a hard time living that down back in the day.
A written warning
I see the comments saying Anderson is going to do what he wants to because he DGAF, but I can’t help but think Kawasaki does care what he does.
Kawi has told Anderson to tone it down because they don’t want to deal with the issues.
Other manufacturers are trying to protect their franchise riders and don’t want to deal with this shit either…
So, when Anderson continues to get himself into situations where he’s getting penalized by the AMA and then posts on social media that he’s fine with playing the bad guy role, what does Kawasaki do? I doubt Anderson asked Kawi if he could post what he did, and doubt even more that Kawi wants him playing the bad guy.
But, since Anderson does what he wants on the track and off - Kawi has to rely on the AMA to penalize Anderson (which has had - and will continue have no effect) and by Kawi not taking action against Anderson themselves - they’re allowing Anderson to dictate how fans and other teams view team Kawi and it’s sponsors.
Hunter isn’t innocent either, and I’d guess that Honda doesn’t want him retaliating. And, both the Honda and Kawasaki teams themselves probably have enough mutual respect for each other and the investment that they put into their team/riders/brands/sponsors that they are relying on each other to tell both their riders to knock the shit off.
These riders get paid a lot of money, and I can’t help but think that when the team gives them a directive- they expect the rider to follow it, so it makes me wonder if Kawi sees Anderson as difficult to work with and what they’re willing to put up with?
I can't help but feel if AC9 was healthy, Ando would be out and replaced with Forkner.
Kawasaki can't be please with his actions and social media posts.
Apparently you do because you follow me around reading my posts all the time. You and a few others who just can't seem to help yourselves.
Maybe you can send me another drunken tirade via Vital PM again about ignoring eachother. I got a good kick out of that.
Don...I'm sorry, I just don't see how that was aggressive at all. That was racin hard in my book. The AMA just has a hard-on for JA....
Did you only watch during the futures? Because that was before opening ceremony. The place was packed.
Both riders were given a slap on the wrist and Hunter was fined...
Seems fair, to be honest. Clearly Hunta earned the most unnecessary award of that interaction.
