talking a two-bike team for each coast, which riders would you choose to ride for your team? a few stipulations, the riders have to currently be taking part in either the East/West Championships and the PC/Geico/TLD boys are off limits...

bored at work, so hopefully this will get some good responses. (and not BS)

my choices would be...

East Coast

Darryn Durham



Malcolm Stewart



West Coast

Jason Anderson



Matt Lemoine

Funny thing, if you look at your Durham photo, everyone is looking the other way except LaRocco... Caption that as "Hmm, should I hire this guy?" Purely made up of course.

You couldn't afford Roczen or Stewart. If you are eliminating the big teams and are talking about guys that are under dogs and are available. Paluzzi and Decotis were replacement riders this year, Lemoine is a privateer and Durham needs to be on a better team. You could get these guys pretty cheap and have a team that would kick a**!!!!!!

Paluzzi
Decotis
Hewitt
Larsen

Coast decisions would be made based on injuries and preparedness, with rider preference factored in if there was 3 or more available and prepared for west coast

I tried to pick guys who aren't cemented in their current teams and who will be in lites next year, as well as having what I think are an upside.

Durham couldn't avoid the injury that happened while leading the first heat race of the year, after that it is a up hill battle to re join the sx season half way through with a 5 week break. You'll see this weekend what he can do, he will find his groove...

I have actually kicked this idea around and doing this from the Box Van.

My 1st pick would be home town fast guy #44 Les Smith and #89 Taylor Futrell plus #65 Hunter Hewitt has been impressing me this year. He always seems to be in the thick of things. For only hitting a couple SX's last year #283 Justin Sipes is stepping it up! Nicco Izzi is proving to be FAST!
