Anyone else thinks he kinda looks like shit on the bike? He was on it pretty good with that RMZ. His corners don't seem to flow as well. Could have been the track as well. Reed and him both looked better on RMZ's!

Mike is there laying waste to that track while still recovering from injury while testing a new bike and you say he looks like shit. You sure are an expert. Just another guy who's "fast on the forum"

Nothings as god as the Suzukis right now. Just look at the Championships they have won lately. They seem like the best bike week in and week out.

They didnt look that good, but maybe those werent hot laps they were putting in and the track was seemed rough for a practice day. Im sure they will be fine on raceday. Im just wondering how much it will hold them back on the starts.

Although his dad is a tool I like watching Mike outdoors, he hauls. Didnt think he looked all that great there but anyone else think the track kinda looked like shit too? You gotta think that not doing supercross might hurt him for the outdoor season. You can practice all you want,train, and hit up the local races but if your not out there against the best in the world every wkend the pace might surprise him. Or I could be an idiot and he can flip a switch and smash everyone. Def cant wait to see how him and RD5 match up. How fired up will Mike be if Dungey is runnin his pace first year on the 450?

I think he looks pretty good & I'm betting steps it up quite a bt on race day. You know they've always said Jeff was faster in practice.

Most of the video was pretty good, but I don't get it when they speed up the corners. I saw at least 3 shots where they sped it up - who do they think they're fooling - definately not any of his competitors.

I think he looked pretty good. I bet he comes out swingin when its race time. I have always read that he tells his mechanic to give him the most power they can for the hole shot. Wonder what that 350 will do?

I'm not bagging on him cause I could careless what he does.

Just saying that there was a couple times in the video that he could have been attacking the corner more but was sitting down with his leg out. There is no way its faster sitting with your leg out than attacking standing up.

Exactly what I noticed. He is going faster sitting down with his leg up than 99% of us could in that corner but at his level that millisecond could cost. Maybe it's just his style and the type of track combined, it just stood out anyway.

Chris O'Neal, the track looks like it was really slippery and choppy. It isn't like Mike Alessi doesnt know how to go fast, why risk charging into a sketchy corner on a practice day and possibly washing out and stepping down on your knee and blowing it out.

Mike looks fine, stop bickering back and forth before this turns into a 3 page thread on body positioning coming into corners.
