Sky King Added a reply to Regal back with merge racing
8/8/2012 12:13pm I heard from a pretty reliable source that when JGR picked up his practice bike it only had 7 hours on it. Either he's injured and trying to heal up or he's partying too much and not taking it seriously. You only have a small window to shine in this sport and it's a shame that so many of these...

Sky King Added a reply to H&H Replacement Rider
3/6/2012 2:34pm I would think Cody Mackie, Gavin Faith, Tommy Hahn, or Billy Laninovich would be good fill in riders.
I don't know anything about Mackie but he has a great riding style, maybe a little tentative in the whoops but looks good everywhere else. Watched him in practice at A2 and he looked great for a guy I never heard of...
Sky King Started a new thread Does Windham come back?
1/27/2012 1:12pm With Grant and Canard out does Honda try to talk Windham into doing the rest of the Nationals or do they give a guy like Chris Blose or Jimmy Albertson a shot? It would be awesome to see K-Dub at Unadilla!

Sky King Started a new thread Dungey and Rodney Dangerfield
1/26/2012 8:16am They both seem to get no respect. I can't believe people are still saying that he has lucked into all his championships. The kid is amazing and the fact that he was plucked out of the B class and groomed to be a champion in the last few years by Decoster and RC makes his story all the better. You...

Sky King Added a reply to Hahn, Chizz and Regal are left
11/2/2011 8:54am Good Info Gym Briggs.
Yes I agree on Blose and Vegas. Cunningham did the same thing the year before. Chris was only a handful of guys who made every main event this year though, as amazing as Villopoto's year was even he can't claim that!
I keep hearing about the Valli/Star merger but haven't seen anything for sure.
Interesting on...

11/1/2011 11:33pm What about:
Blose?
Albertson?
Stroupe?
Izzi?
Dietrich?
I've heard Stroupe and Izzi's names mentioned with Valli but then I hear that Valli isn't even going to have a team next year and the fact that a lot of their team mechanics and manager left makes me think that they are not coming back.
It will be interesting to see if...
Sky King Added a reply to Does Windham come back?
7/25/2011 8:51am It would be cool to see how Barcia does on a 450 outdoors, it might smooth him out, he did pretty good at Bercy last year on one. I still think Chris Blose would be a good fit for them. He had a SX only deal with Hart and Huntington and he should be able to jump into it pretty...
Sky King Added a reply to Does Windham come back?
7/24/2011 10:31pm Windham did sound done and like he needed a rest to come back strong for SX but he will have a month off until Unadilla and then he could skip Southwick and take another 2 weeks off until Steel City and Pala. Interesting to see what happens. I wonder if Albertson's deal with Valli was just for Washougal or if...
Sky King Added a reply to So. Anyway. What is the real LB story?
4/3/2011 10:09pm I don't think we'll get the story until Bubba's World season 3. I've tried to figure out why James keeps everything so hush hush and it occured to me that they want people to watch the TV show, either that or he has the worst PR person in history.
KTM is having the season they expected. They didn't hire riders who have won before on purpose because if they did bad everyone would blame the bike. Short and Allessi have never won a SX before but everyone expects them to be doing better if they were on a different brand???? Most of the guys finishing ahead of them have...
Sky King Added a reply to CHAD'S BAD PRESS---DOES HE REALLY DESERVE IT????
1/27/2011 7:35pm I think Chad had a rough couple years where he wasn't very happy with things (07-08) and that is when certain people started drinking the haterade. I think he has really changed since getting on the Suzuki and having fun again and has been a lot better in interviews and with the fans. He sat outside of his truck with...
There's a difference between an aggressive pass and a takeout. Blose didn't even hit Browne last week he just made him go high and Browne blew out the tuff blocks. Friese just T-Boned Blose and about broke his leg and according to his Grandma jacked his rear brake for the rest of the race. Friese lacks the talent to make...
Sky King Added a reply to Lots of empty seats....
1/23/2011 5:19pm Dodger Stadium holds more people by about 12 to 14 thousand so it might have actually had more spectators than Anaheim 1 even though there were empty spots. As far as the 3 Anaheims selling out that hasn't happened since 06 0r 07. Anaheim 1 hasn't even sold out the last few years. It's sad to see as we used...
Sky King Added a reply to chest pro for Astars neck brace
12/21/2010 9:52am I know of four customers at one of my shops that wear the Alpinestar brace with the TLD Shockdoctor chest pro so not sure why Transworld would say it's not compatible. No mods needed and it fit's perfect. Shockdoctor really did their homework and the fit and protection is amazing. Hope this helps.

11/9/2010 10:13am I'm guessing Paul is talking about one of the Euro SX's that he helps get the American riders signed up for. I know Canard was supposed to go but is busy testing and training so maybe MC will fill in for him. Hope it happens. Will be great to see MC racing again. Did I win Paul? What do I...
Sky King Added a reply to MATT MOSS GAVE ME HIS GOGGILS AT FREESTONE
10/9/2010 11:07am Kids these days are more about speed with their texts than proper spelling. It must make some of you feel good to make fun of a kid. As far as the goggles, that's cool to get something like that. At the 500 GP at Glen Helen in the early 90's I caught Matiasivech's goggles. I hated him because he was...
Sky King Added a reply to AMA making riders run assigned numbers
10/9/2010 10:54am DC, It's hard to soar like an Eagle when you're surrounded by Turkeys. Don't let them get you down. I was pretty surprised by all the crap you got about the Glen Helen deal and now this. These people will never be happy with ANYTHING!!!! All they like to do is whine and complain. Thanks for all that you do...
Sky King Added a reply to Stewart announcement...
10/2/2010 3:40pm Reading between the lines from Tedesco on DMXS and DC on Racerhead I'm going to guess Johnny O'Mara is his new trainer/riding coach or something to that effect. But what do I know?
Sky King Added a reply to What's Reed Deal?
8/30/2010 9:56pm I heard Larry Brooks is going to be his team manager and Kyle Chisholm will be his teammate.
