I had the same thought. A little Mitch Magic couldn't hurt.

"He's out there cashing checks" Chase fans throughout this thread and many others have offered plenty of criticism for his part in all of this.

Nah. New bike, new team, only 18 points back at round 6 of 17.

Chase needs to pick a set up and just ride. He does this with every brand, keeps trying to find the perfect set up and never does. Kawi ms probably feeling like they need to do whatever they can to make him happy because of the Prado deal and it’s biting them in the ass because Chase doesn’t know what he wants. He looks awkward on the bike, like hes indecisive in his line choices. Maybe Chase needs to take the week off from riding and just show up to the race next weekend, the 100+ hour work weeks aren’t...

Agreed, he would probably benefit from some not caring. I think constantly trying to do too much is the core of all these issues with all the brands.

Might be one of the dumber takes I've seen on here in a while. He won a 450 title about 18 months ago and was a few stupid decisions away from winning SX title last year. If anything he spins himself in circles because he cares too much. If he just wanted to collect checks he could just pick a setup and go golf all week instead of constantly testing and searching. And for all his faults he's consistently been one of the fittest guys out there. You don't get there by going through the motions.

If it is the bike Chase and the team won’t quit like the other guy. And I heard he was also capable of putting his own bike on the stand.

So if he wins a championship in his 2nd or 3rd year of his contract will people still be complaining about his first year on the bike? It’s a new team and new bike I would expect him to struggle all year working on setup. Go into off season with a ton of new data and work on setup. I guess I don’t see how else you would expect to do it.

I think it’s way too early to be so hard on Chase. Not everyone can switch brands and be as comfortable as Tomac is. I was not expecting Chase to do well this year, but I would give it more time before you hit the panic button.

That one was funny as he compared the 50 yard dash as a sprint and the 100 yard dash as as something long. They are both sprints.

So, a retard has vastly superior intelligence over you. Thanks for sharing that entertaining fact.

He must be a very secure and confident man.He was a God on the bike and now willing to bring a whole lot of laughs at his own expense every time he's announcing.If you look at it this way, he is truly great at announcing as well,bless his soul and America.If hes OK with that,I love it!I can't help hearing "bold move Cotton"from Dodgeball every time he comments something obvious,a bit of Ricky nonsense or his homemade words.I feel like I really know him and feel closer to him,lol..Adds a great unexpected comedy element to Saturday nights especially when you...

Webb mentioned it in his interview on the live broadcast "With Prado on the start & Hunta that was an unfortunate thing that I guess we have to deal with when we're next to Prado "

Prado is not in the position to mention riders cutting over on him. He is the king of crossing other riders. Fucker swerves harder than the Yamato

I think it’s a tactic for dealing with Jorge. Jorge has come over on him off the gate really hard a couple of times this season and Hunter hit back this week. I don’t think that will be the last time we see it.

This is an insane statement a week after he admitted he could’ve run it in on Eli and chose not to. Name one person Hunter has taken out or cross jumped.

Click up to hit the triple...land...on the gas to the next jump face at high speed...accidentally down shift trying to get your boot under it...all the while head over bars standing at high speed ...the immediate speed decrease in a high speed section throwing the inertia and body weight off is some scary shit The stock CRF shifter is 15mm shorter than the other bikes.

Not a wheel expert but have laced up a few in my time. If your KTM stockers lasted over 100 hours, you did great on basic upkeep. However at this point, all the aluminum nipples have timed out and are due for replacement. I really like Excel spoke kits, and have used tons of the Notako (NS) series (apparently now branded the Excel One line). The NS part number interchanges with the XS of their higher priced kits (steel spoke, aluminum nipple), but comes with traditional steel nipples and not the crappy spline-drives of the XS series. I believe you...

Great perspective, thank you. Was hoping the rebuild route was going to get me a stronger outcome than the easy way out (Tusk Impact Complete Wheelset), but I was unaware of the limitations of the stock hubs. Now I have some thinking to do. Been hawking FBMP, and not seeing anything in my area for take-offs either. Three options remain: 1) Band-Aid it with spokes only as moto9 suggests. 2) Cross fingers with OEM hub and rebuild with quality parts. 3) Sell soul to the Devil and go with the complete Tusk Wheelset. Anyone care to vote?
