Funny how everyone else can win on the same bikes that Chase has had. It is not the bike. Same rider, same results, different color bike next year. 

You say that as if he's not winning on the bikes he's on.  He's won more than anyone not named Jett...

I’m a big fan of chase and hes always seemed like a pretty stand up guy. Thats why the way he has been leaving teams at the end of his contracts lately has me scratching my head because it seems to be out of character. 

Honda- crashes out at last smx race, storms off and just packs up his shit and leaves. Doesnt say bye or thanks to anyone, just takes off. After a few days go by to cool off Lars the team Honda manager sends chase a text asking him if he wants to go out to dinner as a farewell and a thank you. Chase never responds. Lars says on a podcast he hasnt talked to him since.

KTM- has been acting funny towards ktm this year, not wanting to race at times and just generally abrasive relationship with the team. Crashes out at the last smx and now he just unfollows ktm on ig and thats the end of the relationship… No thank you message, no farewell, just unfollow on ig and its over. 

What do u guys think this is all about? By all accounts hes a pretty nice guy, but for whatever reason when it comes to his teams once hes decided to leave youre all dead to him. Seems like hes burning a loot of bridges that dont even need to be burnt. A quick “thanks for the times” lost on ig would suffice in most cases. I dont get it.

Well we’ll see how he does at Kawasaki. And there’s one huge bridge he hasn’t burned in the sport and that’s Yamaha. I fully expect him to be Blue Crew after Team Green.

Careful, I posted about his dad and also Chase’s relationships with Honda and KTM and the dog piling got real. Seems there are a few others that “know” the deal with Chase and dealing with his dad. Too bad… he definitely puts on a good front for the fans. He’s one of those guys who should’ve told his dad thank you for getting him to this level, then asked him to sit down.

My last gf has a pattern like this.  Each new guy (bike) is the next best thing. A couple years go by and bam, off to the next guy (bike).

Chase and his dad are real pieces of work. And a lot of there bitching and complaining wore off on Tom and he started doing the same.

Seems like Chase said thanks to Honda to me. Not that it went down perfectly as nothing ever does. I am sure Honda had their own issues too that caused plenty of it. Remember there are always two sides to any story and the truth typically lies somewhere in the middle.

Maybe the OP can offer up an apology as this shows he did thank them and he hasn’t left KTM officially yet and will most likely make a similar post. Would you really want to go out to dinner with your old boss after you left work?

Exactly, one of the only riders to step up and challenge Jett yet all he gets is 💩 on. The KTM has pile driven him into the track multiple times this year, Tom has publicly claimed shock issues (note Chase has not blamed the bike for these crashes), I wouldn’t be a happy camper either if I felt the cause of my concussion(s) was due to the bike or team

...We sat and spoke to Chase last year in front of his bus Saturday night after Hangtown last season, the race he came from behind and crushed everyone.

At that point he was pumped on the bike and excited to keep working with KTM,  I don't know what happened between then and now but I have heard from a few places that his dad Kieran makes the a lot of the decisions for Chase.

He gets the hate because he's never won a championship without the guy in first crashing out. He's got the speed but is a head case but blames everything but himself. He's a phenomenal rider but has his baggage. To be fair they bagged on RC, Chad, James, RV, and Dunge all in their days and they won championships people forget.

I know a lot more about the situation, but I'll leave it at that. And I agree with you 100% about getting some separation from his dad. For the record, I really like Chase. He's been great to me when I've had interactions with him, and I think he's a down to earth good guy. I'm definitely a fan and I hope he crushes it at Kawi. I still wish he was with Honda, but I'll root for him on any bike.

Couldn't you make the same point about ET? Honda, Kaw, Yamaha. Many championship riders have switched brands multiple times over the years. This ain't new!

Bridge burner. He’ll eventually run out of bridges and if he thinks the Honda/KTM bridges are bad, wait till he has to ride for a private team.

ET is going to his fourth manufacturer? Is he a bridge burner too?

Chase seems like a really decent person. Like a guy you could sit and chat with. 

But he also has always struck me as awkward as shit. So I don’t think it’s possible just him being awkward and weird and not malicious.

Idk it depends on multiple factors including how he does at Kawi and when Cooper Webb retires for another 450 spot to open up now that they have Deegan, Cooper and Webb on 450.

Not owning/deflecting the whole cap backwards ordeal is kinda weird.
