Didn't know it was possible to tuck the front on social media, but Chase found a way to do it!

I'm of the opinion that Chase was trying to be funny and this is a nothing burger....Aren't they from the same area?

Not too far apart actually...  Indiana and Illinois.  maybe something to that, but I've never heard of them as pals.

I think it’s more then that they share first names, but listening to Fineis on pulp made me think of when Kyle Regal’s stepdad also named Mark called in if anyone else haven’t forgotten that.

The more I think about it, the more I think that may be a possibility. If that is the case, I don't know if that is more or less embarrassing for Chase. lol.

Seems like a nice awkward kid. For the life of me, I don't know why parents ship their kids off to these facilities alone.

I don´t mean to sound mean or something. But maybe Fineis has some kind of asperger? It seems that when he starts talking he just can´t stop and he talks before he thinks trough.. and I like it he is funny without trying to be and seems really excited and happy! good for him!

Because the parents need to be at work to pay for the kids staying…

I do think it’s not easy conveying humour on social media.  So giving him the benefit of the doubt is probably a good choice. Especially based on his interviews with Lewis Phillips I thought he had some sarcastic humour. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly why I have this opinion...

Then don't ship your kid off...

I think if Chase was just messing around he wouldn’t have followed it up with a “I’m talking to mark not muto.”  I obviously am just speculating but that seemed 100% serious to me.

Definitely. Just joking around

You can look at it in both ways. Sometimes it can be a good thing not having your parents to lean back on. It can force you to grow up and take responsibility in a other way than if they are there.

But if you can’t manage it, it could be the worst thing.

My cousins girlfriends brothers friend who is deep deep deep in the industry says that Mark is showing up to Budds with a “R.I.P Chase” shirt.

Don’t think that’s true, otherwise Chase would not have needed to clarify he was talking to Mark and not to Taylor.

ehhhh, you can't use Mark Barnett as a example. He was one fast tough MOFO. Complete legend and is the Clint Eastwood of Moto.

I get a kick out of Finies. The kid amuses me.

I was hoping JT$ was going to be the one to interview him at Unadilla and have Mark at the end of the interview challenge Jason to a flex-off. 💪🤓

Is that not just a Will Smith line as a joke? I mean Sexon has a fragile brain but is he really this weak?

I actually thought it was a funny self-mocking line from Chase. From interviews I've heard with Chase he doesn't seem to be the kind of guy to take offense. He is totally aware of all of his front end tucks.

Mark is awkward in general. He is hilarious but not sure he is always trying to be, if you catch my drift. 

I always thought this kid was a bit off. Even back to when he was on clubmx and I would watch the vlogs after every round they would go to, he just seemed like a super strange autistic kid.

That's a very good possibility.  The whole thing to me was cringy.  Maybe someone needs to have a talk with the kid and make him understand that maybe, just maybe....he's the problem.

oh, Chase. I do not envy what must be rattling around in his head daily. This next chapter for him will be the fork in the road...

This next chapter for him will be the fork in the road. He either pulls a prado and immediately resumes being a badass, or he does the same damn thing again and whines about the bike relegating himself to history books as a snively whiny rider. Will be interesting.

He's not helped by this guy...

I know the parents just a bit.  They didn't ship him off to a training facility.  The family was traveling in a motorhome almost year round to chase the dream.  He didn't "leave the nest" until he turned pro and joined the Club MX team.

TONS of kids go off to college at 18 and find the environment isn't for them just like Mark found out at Club. It is no slight to Clubmx at all, it just wasn't the right fit at the time for Mark.

18 year olds come home from a failed experience at university, get a job, go to community college or whatever. They REGROUP, grow up a little... and then attack life.

That is what Mark Finies has done. The kid is living a clean lifestyle on his terms and i think that is awesome.
