I just watched the Pala review with Mathes, JT, and and Weege. Coop told Mathes "Im just here to have fun amd embrace this. They have Justin Cooper and Eli Tomac. I dont need to win." Lmfao! Haters wont like that attitude but I think its great. He's still giving it his all but he's out there having fun with no pressure or expectations on him. His thumb is apparently fine, also.
Yes, but I don't post about Webb for something to do. Invariably I'm responding to posts from his gurglers who make ridiculous claims about him - such as he's going to win the outdoors championship, or at least be a factor. It's insane.
You're right. I don't like that attitude. So much for the 'grit'.
Webb is trying to keep a slot in the overall standings to improve his chances at the SMX pot of gold. Webb races for a living. No one said he was not intelligent.

UMMMM, everyone agrees that Webb is the mind game master. Do you suppose that statement could be part of that game? Either way the dude has earned to keep his ride and if being out there having fun, while finishing top tens is his his gig this summer, more power to him. Being the competitive mofo that he is, I doubt he's out there just trail riding the track having fun.
I didnt take it that way. That he wasnt trying. I took it as hes going out this summer getting back to his roots, all our roots, and enjoyong mx. Everyone expects him to be the 3rd fastest 450 guy on the team so there's no pressure. And as we saw Saturday, he looked great
So you are in fact, doing it for "something to do"
You weren't initially responding to anything that was directed at you. And that is okay but be honest.
Your last comment is a perfect example.
I dont see anyone saying he will win a championship this year. He may be a factor next year with time under his belt. You said before he wouldn't even be top 10. Before that you said hes going to be on his couch eating burgers. Now you have another take. This guy proves you wrong every time and you change your take. Let's not even go through your supercross takes about him or previous years. Just keep spewing the shit Herr.
I don't know about you Farmer, but some of Webb's boyfriends on here have said he could win the outdoors championship. I've never said he wouldn't get top 10. My original posts - since knowing he was racing outdoors - stated he'd get 10th place. I then updated this to 8th after finding out Barcia and Ferrandis wouldn't be racing. As for eating burgers, most of my posts have stated he'd eventually be on said couch stuffing his face with said burgers once outdoors got too difficult. Or on the beach...
The response was part of a thread started by Rubber Joey Bridges. As for 'something to do'. As I said, the posts on Webb are due to the bullshit claims his girlfriends on here continue to make.
Maybe some of you people posting need to go back and watch Webb on the star 250 days. He was an absolute animal, I remember during the charlotte MXGP he tracked down and passed Herlings which had the nick name FMOTP, this was also the prime Forkner….So he has\had the ability, Where he is at now in life I don’t think the risk vs reward is there. This is the first time he has raced a star 450 outdoors. I think he looked darn good for a guy that’s been away for mx for awhile.

Herlings got the nickname FMOTP from his 450 rides. Did Webb ever beat that guy? 250 results are nice and all but results on a 450 indoors and out are what put you in conversations with the all time greats. Webb is just a sx guy. It is what it is
Never said anything about championship, just that he may be more motivated and surprise some people this year. Interpret that as you will but credit to Chris to be man enough to admit he misjudged. Of course it’s only round 1 and this is a notoriously unpredictable sport.
Personally I think he will do better as the series moves east where conditions suit him a little more and he works out a better mx setup. I’m guessing solid consistent results that will build points and put him in a good position to make some $$$ at the finals.
Guess that makes me a “Webbite”, whatever the hell that means. 🙄 I just think of it as respecting the accomplishments of a multi time 250mx, 250sx and 450sx champion whether I like the guy or not.
World championship maybe
see this the problem with todays sports fan & im using u as an example , the biasedness & the disliken of said athlete clouds your judgement & analysis of wht u seeing on film , opinions & input can’t be taken serious if ur just biased all the time
As my post makes clear, I don't like Cooper Webb as a rider, however, my discussion of him in motocross is based on his performances since he moved to the class in 2017. He has not performed well at all and is clearly a much better SX rider. As for his performance at Pala, it was surprising, but I'll need a lot more data before I change my opinion of him as an outdoors rider.
Fair enough. I get that.
Pit Row
I been paying attention to ur posts 😂😂 half of it be funny & I ain’t got no problems with it but at times I’m like come on bruh wht we tryna accomplish here by u saying all this
Webb: Them burgers arrived yet?
Mechanic: Yes boss. Uber Eats just dropped them off at the truck.
Webb: And the fries?
Mechanic: Yep, nice and hot - just like you like them.
Webb: Sweeeetttt
Hot take with a HEAVY dose of SARCASM ALERT:
Webb should have spent last summer doing the MXGP’s with the regularity that he’s battling with and mostly beating the reigning World Champ! 😎😎😎
Since it got bumped I'll jump in here again to say how wrong I was about Webb. He's been nothing but solid this summer. Props to him. His bike quit on him at Pala but other than that he hasnt just given away motos. Super solid
Why you posting your family photos again
7th in points with a DNF. Not bad for an SX guy.
Looking back at his results over his 450-career, he's had multiple top 5 and podium finishes outdoors. He's been nowhere near as bad as @Herr Lich complains about. Aussies gets one solid rider that doesn't complain in decades, and their fans pick up all the slack in being annoying.
I was trying to point out all his top 5s before when people were saying how he's going to suck. He doesn't set the world on fire but he's a pretty decent outdoor guy. Then you add in all the time missed and little prep and he's only going to get better.
This is actually pretty funny.
Herr Lich,
What would you do with yourself if Webb ended up winning the MX title this year if everyone else crashed out?
He is distracted by the 1.5 million he just banked and is still beating the multi champ like a rug.
Outside of his one DNF which not his fault he had lost by over a minute in every moto but 1. The second moto at Hangtown in which he was credited with the holeshot and then finished 50 seconds behind in 7th in 5 less minutes of time. At the last race he was just 86 and 67 seconds behind.
I wouldn’t say he’s solid, outside of Prado who is by most accounts doing worse then he could have ever been imagined, everyone who should be beating him is smoking him. His MX bar is so incredibly low him mearly finishing in the top 10 is a success?
