Much respect for lining up but the knee is gone. Get it operated on and come out swinging next year on the West coast.

And you should be, Pops!! I’ve been pumped watching him all season... he has not one thing to be ashamed of. I just wish he hadn’t gotten hurt. He’s definitely got time to accomplish a lot in his career.

So proud of Austin for competing for this championship. He put it all on the line

True statement about if the situation was reversed. And the truth is Webb probably would have been successful in doing it. Webb is at a much higher level mentally than the entire field right now.

If the situation was reversed, Webb would have tried to punt Tomac to the parking lot.

Huh? Tomac could’ve easily t-boned Dungey and Webb, but didn’t. He’s the least-dirty guy out there. Class act.

Much rather the Nationals. Supercross is ok but rather boring.

He totally does, but which time? The first time, the tenth time, or the hundredth time? The only positivity that matters doesn't even look like positivity. It comes in the form of tough love from whomever is working at the facility he may or may not ever leave successfully. Everything else is enabling, because rock bottom doesn't come from a bunch of smiles and best wishes. Smiles and best wishes look like an opportunity for manipulation to addicts.

Thanks for posting the link. I just emailed it to myself so I can listen later tonight. I am dealing with an addiction issue with my very own 16yo son and it is frankly the toughest most frightening thing I have ever experienced in my life. Times have been very trying lately. I used to be one of those guys that said "oh fuck him he's a dope head idiot with no self control blah blah blah" Until it truly touches your life and you spend a year or more learning about and working on the issue at a VERY...

The difference between Izzi and the rest of the moto "fuck ups" is he used the name equity he built in the sport to repeatedly lie, cheat and steal from regular moto folks that looked up to him. I don't jump on the Izzi dog pile, but I can see why some treat him no differently than a bike thief and don't care what hole he's rotting in today.

I don't blame them. For something that seems as simple as "wishing someone well" the fact of the matter is... it isn't. We place roles on athletes; highlighting the best to teach our kids, IE. "strive to be like Dungey". But the other side of that coin is, "DON'T BE LIKE NICO". And at this point, with his endless list of fuck ups, Nico doesn't just represent Nico anymore... he represents all of the drug addicted alcoholic disappointing drop out didn't live up to their potential fuck ups in our lives and everyone, and I mean everyone, has direct experience...

In Pulp #378 Weimer, Nick Wey and Steve were talking about how you can run a whole SX track in 1st gear and clear a triple less than 15 feet from the base of the jump. Lol. Definitely makes it sound a little ridiculous.

Why have a motorcycle that you have to nurse, not to kill your self. Prime example an Australian legend Jeff leisk, honda used to de tune his cr500 to make it easier to ride (500’s are badass but not at all easy to get the most out of) .. Pourcell has it Sussed? to a degree! But still had major injuries.. Phil they shouldn’t have to de tune or work on the bikes to make them rideable for a professional. The sx tracks are getting chewed out in a few laps costing the promoters money to keep some what rideable...

If Eli wins then he’s the champion.

Just enjoy what ET3 does. We are fortunate to see it unfold. Go watch him ride in person. All happiness ensues. One of the best ever.

It was comparable to a concert performance, the crowd was stomping their feet and cheering him as he passed by each section. I felt lucky to be there and experience it in person. Not even an Eli swinger, but it gave me chills hearing how loud that stadium was tonight. Must admit, feeling pretty proud as a Colorado native watching the local boy put on a show. Glad to see this thread, confirmed my suspicions that this was an epic night. Bravo Eli!
