Still can't believe Tapia is riding after that slam he took when he ejected over that triple a couple races ago in the LCQ it was a gnarly get-off

Soo, everyone here is giving kid crap for having HEART and DESIRE to make a main and do anything it takes even if its make a dirty pass that may take himself and/or the other rider out? Have you seen the passes that barcia's made? yet everybody is sucking on his balls because he wins.. yet tapia is a hardworking privateer trying to make it in the main, thats what everyone wants! to make the main, i like watching him ride, makes it intresting, and i love the heart he has. Alot better then someone like millsaps who would just follow then til the checkardz.

Not sure if many of you have ever rode Supercross . When you enter a set of Whoops like the huge gnarly Houston set, your pretty much concentrating on that. Saying this im sure Tapia was seeing Killbarger who was fading last lap and was just rode up high by Cunningham so lost he momentum commiting to outside Tapia needed to commit to inside if he stood a chance either way??? It was obvious when he seen he couldnt come across clean he tried to cut it sharper and slid out. Killbarger should have been ready for a last corner move. He had room to go wider but actually should have protected his inside coming out from the whoops. The same scenario in Toronto when Moss commited in whoops and passed Tapia last lap. If Tapia didnt get kicked to the right on last whoop Moss would have hit Tapia 5x's harder than he did and probably would have highsided because Tapia would have not missed the inside rut. Instead Moss's commitment and aggresiveness worked out. Also not sure what the other bad choice Tapia made at Toronto. Jumping off a bike that had screwed up suspension that blew through the stroke at the faster speed he hit it and endoed off that triple was obviously the right choice. As far as hitting Moss in the heat . Most everyone was jumping that triple and Moss didnt and stopped in the inside. Les Smith jumping on Tapia in Houston. Tapia was in 2nd coming from tight inside so he would obviously fade out through that section which also sets you up to flow through the right hander and over the next little 3 5 3 section. Its always a mess coming out of the 1st corner and everyone needs to watch out whos next to them and in front of them. In Tapia's case not so much whos behind him?? Just to add. The dirtiest move I seen in that race was Cunningham cross jumping Tapia in the table table section That could have been real ugly. Looks as if they were both catching Killbarger fast and if that wouldn't have happened Tapia could have made a move sooner.
