DV you have always been a class act. Welcome back to the states and welcome back to the US industry. Can't wait to see your ugly mug in the pits again.
Thanks for many things like.
Always trying to keep humor in the middle of all the drama, passing RC on the inside for the win, winning the US Open and giving the one fist pump, Falling off the back at Anaheim during your seat wheelie in opening ceremonies, Giving me thumbs up after going over the bars in practice at Phoenix , Slapping Ronron, Keeping your cool when KW... well we won't get into that. Goon riding all the time when I was on the track at GH. And many other little things you always do that have made this sport just a little bit better.
Hope you have success in your new job bro. Peace,
-=40+

Met and talked to him at the usgp at Budds before he came over here full time- knew right away that he was a great guy. He was always fun to watch and I'm glad he's back .

Funny DV story, a few years ago at Cahuilla, He was in front of me and crashed HARD over the ski jump, and was just lying there.

Everybody went running to him, and I cut the track and rode over to where his wife and his mechanic (Craig?) were standing, and said, " hey, David just crashed really hard on the down hill! " and they were like, "Eh", like it was not a big deal.

Maybe they were used to him crashing a lot??Laughing

Also that day he was blowing everyone's mind by jumping a giant uphill double that nobody had even thought of before. Great rider.

No, no, that's someone else.
This guy speaks some foreign language, like Canadian or something.

That one cost him a SX championship against RC.... Never understood why the crowd booed him, he always tried to entertain. I'll never forget Indy SX with RC, TP, and Cobra going at it. DV passed RC on the last lap... Pretty sure everyone was cheering for him that night because everybody was booing RC after some racing contact sent Pastrana to the ground. I remember that night like yesterday, TP had that bright ass neon green gear on. C'mon Anaheim.

Yeah he was 20 points ahead comin in Daytona which was i think round 10 back then. With finishing second at every race he had it in the bag.

To see DV at his best, look for any Bercy he entered. Best personal memory of him, in 2000 i think, first final of the friday, the Mac grabs the holeshot, Dv passes him right away in the tunnel and throws a clicker lookin at the crowd on the triple while reentering the stadium, like 5 meters away from me. It just blew my mind.

Last time i saw him there, he was far from the level he had, was adjusting to the kawi etc but was still givin it all. He had to pass Brayton on the last lap for some qualifyin spot, and just pinned the whoops faster than anybody during the week end and blast past him. Was awesome, the last charge of the legend in his garden.

Met David back in Vegas several years ago. Good people. One of a kind riding style also. I was going through one of the Supercross books from several years back when David first came to race here and McGrath was going on about how cool his style was and how good he was going to be. Followed by "Im not sure how RC will end up yet."
