I should have known my comment would start up the old Yank vs Euro merry go round, my apologies all. However what I really meant was the difference in the development paths, not a dick measuring contest….. And for those who don’t understand; this was about MX not SX, I thought being a MXGP thread might give that away, again my mistake.

Think about how scary it’d be to be on trial and some of these people were on the jury.

Or... Eat some veggies.

Wow, some of you are so caught up in your Vitarded skirmishes, politics and lack of moto knowledge that you don’t accept or even consider facts. The word covid triggered you guys like a bunch of flat earthers seeing their first globe. As I said, Roger DeCoster and I were talking about the day and he mentioned that Eli has been battling Covid recently, which pretty much fits his results arc. He didn’t say that was the reason, but anyone with a brain knows having the flu does not help. Also, anyone with a brain knows that I would not...

New kawsaki 2 stroke👌

they are using vernacular from football because everyone watching is a football fan with nothing better to do and needs to be spoon-fed information about this niche sport being broadcasted live on a weekend. The actual fans of the sport watch SX on mute so the broadcast team dont cater to them. Outdoors we turn the volume back on and the dumbassery stops thanks to Weege and JS7

While Lewis does have cringy moments, most of you are missing the sarcasm and reverse argument humour of the British mindset. I do agree he could tone himself down a little bit for a while, if not ever, but a lot of what he says and does is quite funny to us "non" Americans. Would not surprise me if this was an Eli burn in the same fashion.....

Can we let him win his first 250 divisional title first?

Another couple of “pulled an Audible” from RC this week.. Learn the meaning RC, it doesn’t make sense for moto… Does he think Chase is in his helmet speaking out loud like “oh I might go outside here for a change”

The OOHHH's are really bad

It was kind of a rhetorical question... Nashville was probably the most hardpack track on the circuit and Hunter easily handled Kenny and Eli was MIA. I'm not sure where Eli goes from here. His last five finishes are 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 12th. Also these are the gaps from Eli to first place at the last four rounds: Birmingham - 35.7 secs Detroit - 17.1 secs St Louis - 37.9 secs Nashville - 51.2 secs. From listening to various sources over the last day or so it seems the scoop tyre was a gamble to get back in...

Seriously. He does come off as a pretentious ass when he talks about the fan base at times, and to be fair I dont even disagree completely. We have a LOT of people in this sport that wouldn't be considered the "brightest bulbs in the room". However, when its coming from a guy whose entire career has been spent IN MOTOCROSS FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS who cant even tighten a chain?.....Come on dude. It actually befuddles me. How is he SO clueless on basic dirt bike parts? You can't change a pair of handlebars but we are the dumb...

Probably one of the only opinions he would respect enough to consider.

Imagine being Eli in this situation and having 'the Dunge' come by for words of wisdom...

Nailed it. Especially as long time fans have grown thoroughly disgusted with the dumbed down style of broadcasting. Damn, how I wish we had a simulcast to turn to during the races. Was watching the Birmingham RDL show at our cabin. We had a few outdoor oriented friends who sat down while it was on. Two were even fellow mt biker's. With rider's on the track, it held nobody's interest. And after a few minutes the conversation waned. So this whole bullshit about appealing to "new fans", is a frikkin joke. If you ride, or have ridden, you're a fan...

Weege has a hard time not discussing his contempt for race fans, it slips out all the time, that he thought they were too dumb to figure out TV is just one example. I don't think Lewis shares the same contempt, but he is guilty of voicing assumptions quickly. I think one of the problems with the sport's "journalism" is it hasn't evolved with its audience. The average age of people involved in the sport has risen dramatically as has their financial wellbeing in the past few decades, many of us are very well educated and affluent, the audience is...

If your Eli you can’t do bare minimum interviews, say absolutely NOTHING about horrible performances and freak out when people try to figure it out. Dudes way too much of a vet to not know it’s his fault rumors and discussions happen

A-Stars is always good for making sick one-off gear for their riders they dont sell to the public. Cmon, take my money!

We were digging that jersey. Wouldn’t mind having a replica.
