Good thing he didn't crack his ass. He'd be out the rest of the season...

ma800 is no more. Maybe he's injured? Probably embarrassed to see the speed associated with that number vanish. Mike needs to get in shape/racing form before he breaks out #800 again. Hope he fixes the issues and comes back swinging.. He's the fastest rider to have ever raced the the Canadian Nationals by far(However, a bit unlucky).

The east/west thing is kinda stupid IMO. Hold the 17 rounds open to all riders and let everyone ride whichever 8 rounds they choose(maximum). Force everyone to race Vegas(which would count for points) to have it actually mean something.

Stewart RC MA800 Millsaps Reed/RV Alessi would still be beating RV every race had the the 4 stroke not been adopted. Stewart would be in a league of his own.

^--- Dungey only had Alessi to deal with and still couldn't pull it off. Stewart was schooling Alessi, in better form and with a better bike, when he went 24-0.

Motocross racing is regressing. Less people are riding. The competition level is declining if anything. Stewart is no longer in his prime and still won nationals/supercross races over the last 2 years. Prime Stewart/Carmichael would still eat this field.

Nah. I doubt anyone wants to ride around with Disney World attached to their helmet. More like a smear campaign...

He's probably concussed. But I agree, looks like a decent helmet.

His year is pretty much done in MX anyway. He's just looking for an excuse to leave. He'll line up for SX regardless of the camera situation.

I have a hard time believing he wasn't concussed in that crash. His head hit hard. That can have a long recovery time, despite how his shoulder is feeling. We won't be seeing a 100% Tomac for a while yet. Question is, if he shows up, will it be enough?

Nobody is saying AC didn't holeshot as an amateur. He did. I'm just saying he wasn't nearly as consistent as other legendary starters given his huge equipment advantage. Alessi, who also had a huge equipment advantage as an amateur, would holeshot damn near every time and continued to do so as a pro (while he was in his prime anyway)...

Has he ever been a good starter? Probably should be for his size... He did ok in the amateurs, but the skill level varies greatly even between the top riders. He's no Alessi. I remember him botching up at least a start per class over the years at Loretta's.

I heard he's faking an injury while collecting worker's comp from Kawasaki... Oh wait...

Now you do...

'We spotted Ryan Villopoto destroying the Glen Helen Raceway track last week as he prepares for his attack on the MXGP World Championship Series'[ This is how good he looked before the Euros destroyed him straight up.

Those small scrubs aren't really that impressive. You can pretty much just lay the bike over before hitting the peak without worry(especially on sand) This one was badass:

^--- My point exactly.

Call me superficial, but orange looks like shit.
