Ok lets get some opinions here on the 11' SX champ. Who are you pulling for and why? Me, I'm pulling for Reed because of the adversity he's overcome. I like Dungy alot but he has not shown one ounce of agression all season. I think it comes down to 2,22, and 7. The momentum is all #7's right now but mathmatically he needs some help. 2 just isnt getting on that box like he needs to right now and 7 & 22 smell blood IMO
How I think it'll end up: Villopoto, Reed, Stewart, Dungey
How I want it to end up: Reed, Dungey, Villopoto, Stewart
The Shop

Something tells me the extra week and extra Honda parts that are laying around are not going to be good for the competition.
Vegas baby!! Vegas!
Reed
RV
Stewart
Dungey
Why? Because he's my favorite rider in that class.
I think he has a chance to go down as one of the best riders in the history of moto..
As great as this SX season has been I can't wait to see the high speed grueling outdoors. It's gonna be a good one. I think we will be able to see some separation of these top guys too.
I love Reeds riding style when he is just on it, like perfect fluid motion. Mainly because it reminds me of McGrath.
I also love the under dog role he always seems to take on every season.
I hope RV wins as well. Just a fan of the guy.
I was hoping that Dungey would have started this season off by kicking some ass from the get go. Little disappointed in his lack of aggression especially in a few last corner moments he's had this year.
I'd be happy to see RV pull it off though, always liked watching him ride. Hauls the mail, just doesn't seem to be able to put all the pieces together without something going wrong.
Stewart.....love watching him ride, but don't care to see him win the championship. Let him lose a few and maybe he'll focus everything on the racing and winning. No one has been able to match his speed but several of them have him beat elsewhere.
Second would be Reed, another good story this year.
Villopoto - obviously what a comeback after last year
Dungey - overcoming the DNF and repeating with a stacked field
Reed - well a championship without the * to shut the haters up on top of the obvious (new team) would be really cool
Stewart - earning it after the crashes and off track BS would be impressive.
I'm a fan of great racing rather than any one individual but of the 4, I'd like to see Reed win. Again though, ANY of the top 4 would deserve it IMO.

rv isn't gonna do it while reed and stewart are in the mix
rd just isn't fast enough while RV,CR,JS are in the mix
js is too fast for his own good..he will bail in SLC.
He got taken out on the first lap, dropped back down to 15th and pushed hard to within 2 seconds of RV! If he hadn't crashed in the whoops I really believe he would've finished 3rd. And consider also that he doesn't generally ride well in the mud or ruts, he was really pushing beyond his comfort zone.
I have a feeling Dungey will pull this off. It doesn't seem likely but I really think he is going to win. That's who I'm pulling for.
Out of the top four, I'd like to see it end like this;
1: Reed
2: Villopoto
3: Dungey
4: Stewart
Pit Row
I'm pulling for Reed and Villopoto.
I want to see RV2 win because of what happened last year and since he doesn't have a title in the 450 SX class.
I want Reed to win because the guy is just flat out cool as hell, and I'd love to see him win one more title before he presumably goes to four wheels.
After Vegas though, I'll probably be more bummed that four incredible riders who raced their hearts out giving us such a great season will be walking away without a title, rather than being stoked for whoever ends up winning the thing. All the top 5 guys have ridden like champions this year.
Villopoto because i've been a big fan ever since I watched him at broome tioga back in the day. Also because of what he went through last year almost remounting a comeback to Dungey but then getting injured.
Reed just due to the fact that everyone was counting him out in the pre-season talk and he had enough balls to start his own team and race.
I would love to see either Reed or Dungey take this thing. Long time fan of both. I think asterix's are bullshit, and it sems people like to stick one besides both these guy's titles.
RV seems ( to me anyway ) a little too arrogant and cocky, taking credit when it was obviously a gift from another rider, or being too cry baby. I lost a bit of respct for him after seeing him up in Boni's face in the tunnel after the LCQ - that was not called for. Wasn't Boni's fault he crashed in the LCQ.
Off track attitude means something to me.
Ryan Dungey - good kid and consistency.
Reed - good rider but not a big fan.
Stewart, good rider but not a fan.
As far as I am concerned, all five have been champions this year.
Why- Because I believe the hype.
Whoever gets it will deserve it.
IMO they all deserve a title this year lol. It has truly been an amazing year of racing. I feel like everyone of the top 5 guys have had their big ups and downs but most importantly have given it their best shot no matter what the circumstances. Anyone of the top 5 guys can start in 20th and get a 5th or 4th place and they have all proven that this year. It's craziness.
You, sir, win the internets today!
