I didnt think about this. Stewart to JGR would make alot of since to him. Think about it, he has said that he wants to go on to NASCAR one day and he is already comfortable on the yammy. He could get his foot in the door in car racing being at JGR. I bet that they would have to bend the rules about riders living in NC though.

I'd much rather see that treend than a sx only trend. I'm personally tired of my favorite riders getting injured racing the indoor circus. MX only is fine by me.

Baggett just had a one year deal? JGR usually has a 2nd tier type guy and even as that I think Brayton has done well. Short to Susuki would probably be a good fit, could pick up a couple things from Decoster. Hill deserves a shot for sure, injuries derailed his season.
Agree that Hill deserves another good ride. Had 3rd O/A locked up until he got hurt most all the second half of the SX season and couldn't hold on the last few races.

Wish JH#40 the best whatever ride he has next season.

Baggett is a real good rider with a bright future.

Oh so Motocross only is ok with you, but when it's Supercross only it's wrong? How you did you come up with that? Because you rode outdoor's and never rode Supercross or as you call it "indoor circus". It looks to me that your angrey or jealous of riders that choose a discipline you don't or can't do.
And you can't say riders are only injured in Supercross because there has been as many, if not more riders injured riding Motocross.
I just all respect of your opinion on Supercross only. If doing one series is wrong, then it's wrong both ways.
Glad you just showed your true colors. Now what are you going to say? Can't wait to hear this BS.

Does it really bother you that much Larry?

Your team is SX only and that is your choice right?
Does it really bother you that a bunch of people on the web bag on L&M for that?

I think it is smart to get paid pretty much what you would get for the entire year and instead be able to concentrate all efforts on one 6 month series.
Business wise it is the better choice but you do take flak from some fans.
Not to mention the PR issue if you end up out of the only series you race all year.

So is it worth it to field an outdoor team next year and silence the haters or do you simply stick by your business plan?
Can't have it both ways with every fan.....

Oh and speaking of losing all respect for someone;
How about you.....will you actually answer this and own up to your words on the internet or hide behind that screen name?

Honda- Hear the names of Pourcel, Weimer and James
JGR- Grant most likely staying
PC- Heard the names Tickle, Baggett, may keep Styla
L&M- rumors of switching brands but I think will stay on Yammys.


Wondering about these guys..

Shorty?
Mudflaps?
Wharton?
Davalos?
Wil & Tommy Hahn?
Metty?
Barcia?
GL?
Alessi? Stay of 350 or step it up to the 450? If KTM wont let him will Tony figure a way out of the contract?

Moto-only is better than super-only for the hardcore, real motocrossers. They know that super is glam, hollywood, and make-up. I like seeing the best line up at any discipline. But the real thing is outdoors you know. A 'pussy' or weak-ass, can win super. Dont have to be very tought to ride for 15min. on a flat-track. Just 10min. on a national track is tougher to do at speed than a whole main event at super-puss. Super is to bring in the money of the non-moto guy, and they might turn into a moto guy, so it's ok.

Supercross is for pussies, we can all relate to motocross & we all know its a real mans sport.
Supercross is a show, entertainment.
Motocross is the real deal.

Wow.. Bookmark is a genuine punk. All I did was state a simple opinion not directed at him and the guy goes off on me. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was Larry. Larry has always been a punk so that would fit. I've known the guy since we were kids at Indian Dunes and he hasn't changed at all. He probably wouldn't remember me because back then he was way to cool to give the time of day to a 60 rider or a 80 int. What's weird is his dad was the coolest guy at the track and hooked me up all the time with left over R&D suzuki parts and helped me out all the time. Nicest guy in the world. I guess the apple does fall far from the tree sometimes.

The only reason Larry is SX only is because he can. He wants 1/2 the year off and could care less if he ruins guys like James Stewarts careers.

Anyways to answer his question about why one is better than the other. MX is real. SX is glammed up bells and whistles on dirt. Whether I was good or bad at it makes no difference. I tried once to qualify for a sx and no I didn't make the night show but I can say the same thing about the 2 nationals I tried to qualify for as well. Don't get me wrong. I respect the hell out of sx racers and it's ok to watch while waiting for MX season to start but if I had a choice of watching my favorite riders indoor or out it would have to be outdoors. There's nothing worse than counting the days til you get to see RV outdoors only to see him get hurt on some BS jump. A jump that should of been tamed down but the promoters could care less about their disposable products. It also sucks to be counting the days til you get to see RV and JS battle outdoors only to find out Larry Brooks worked his BS car salesmen magic and got JS to sign a indoor only contract.

What's the matter "Bookmark".....nothing to say?

Why can't you just answer the questions?

You call out other forum members on their opinions but won't just speak up under your own name.
If I remember correctly it was you that was giving Ping crap about posting here.
At least he has the balls to identify himself.

Come on Larry if there is nothing wrong with an SX only contract then why all the hiding?

Maybe I should call you Casemark......Looped Out......Larry....

Josh Hansen to factory Husqvarna with Possibly Pourcel or Weimer as teammates?

Cannondale making widely anticipated comeback to motocross with L&M and James Stewart.

Factory TM will invade US shores and will dominate the motocross world leaving a wave of destruction bigger than Hiroshima. I believe they have already signed Davi Millsaps and Nico Izzi... Official team name 1-800 Collect Mudflaps TM Racing.

Husaberg have also recently been sighted in the andes mountains signing a 2 year contract with Tommy Searle which includes a great dental plan for him and his family.

Looking forward to the rest of silly season..

all the best..

Bazil be lying to you all baxford..

I'm part of that entire world comment for sure. I'm not sure the factories would though. Mitch has completely dominated the factories from the minute he started a team in the 125/lites class so there's no reason to believe he wouldn't do the same in the 450.
