Fav top 5 riders fast and rarely crashed?

Right, Windham just got promoted to my podium because he also did opening ceremonies creative jump transfers in bad lighting.

Pee Wee Herman if he falls, “I meant to do that.”

They comment a lot lately about the supercross tracks like how the practice tracks don’t have tuff blocks, aren’t as tight, and you usually don’t have 22 riders on it that’s hammered lines sometimes down to the plywood or with deep pockets and cupped out whoops.  If you go by facts I wonder if there are more injuries in supercross, motocross, practice, or testing?  With the top guys lapping others going for position with blind faces you’d think there would be more accidents even just running into a crash with a lot of tight 1 or 2 lined tracks.  Whatever the deal is these guys have major guts to still hold it wide open especially after a crash that they just block out.  If the bike is sketchy I want to let off but they say it works better to ride the fish tails as opposed to slowing  the bike that would make it act unpredictably.  Jett was nearky perfect so far until they changed the layout a little on 1 track and he slightly bobbled inches to create a crash and then another one.  Most of these guys ride hurt they won’t say anc if they have been racing since 4 years old thats a lot of experience but plenty of chances to get hurt along the way.  Poetry in motion for at least a 10+ year pro career is more common now so more things are going right and why it’s so competitive too.  It used to be only a couple faster guys but they are right a lot of people could win with a good start and some luck.  Just surviving the new smx season might be a top 5-10 or podium if competitive.  The new attitude of take a podium or top 5 is keeping guys less injured than going for too many risks at one race.

Ward was on autopilot in any vehicle as a racer and fitness to with RAAM.

Barnett owned the 125 I was too young for.

Bailey and Fonseca shouldn’t be left off the list just because they got injured.  RC said the Fonz was a surgeon on the bike and Bailey was the last guy they expected to get hurt.  Even Magoo who did “crazy shit” was a surprise no one expected either with a nickname like that.  They all made the best of things with whatever they had left so it’s not just about loss just a different path sooner or similar fun stuff.  Bailey rode again and Magoo did 4-wheelers and power watersports to pave a path for others.

Lechien was a big boy to have any breakable bones but I heard that he rode hurt with bad knees was it?

The “take what the race gives you” from Dungey turned into RC’s advice after he would do anything to “not lose”.

Marty raced everything all year.  It’s a lesson to the kids that even if you have a badass mx career you still gotta wear your seatbelt if not on the bike or just a lap belt isn’t good enough either for your precious cargo passengers.

Is he your 1-5?  We won’t bite, hard.

I saw that stat too and how he’s top 5 ever.

Especially earlier in his career he crashed.  There were famous crashes with Stew but on his own I don’t remember a lot of unforced errors.  Like in the mud he lapped almost the whole field.

We haven’t brought up Tomac but I think they were saying how he hadn’t missed many races except recently with the achilles.  For most of his career he didn’t miss a race.  He gets some bad finishes for various reasons like a slow starter but if there is a “beast mode when he’s on category” he’d make it.  

Webb can ride clapped out tracks and not crash to make up time and stay in the hunt.
