I'm talking a World, AMA National or SX (not East/West) .

I'm thinking guys like Åke Jonsson (not counting being Swedish and Inter-AMA), John Desoto and more recently Kevin Windom or John Dowd.

Dowd is not without a championship. Kevin Windham probably tops the list.

There should be one reply to this thread, and it should say "Windham". It's just a fact of life, and there's really no debating it.

I stand corrected....Dowd has a 125SX title. Windham had two if I remember right.

Ill change my answer to Danny Chandler.

KW...In his own words, he was the king of 2nd.

MX
7 x 2nd places
2 x 3rd place

SX
3 x 2nd places
6 x top 5s

Without MC/RC/Reed he might be a 10 time champ, not to mention when those guys weren't there, KW stepped up, those top 5s or 3rds might have been better again!!

Pastrana doesn't necessarily top K-Dub, but I think 199 is one of the most talented to never win a major title. Or even get a race win. If a) he had just stuck to the racing a little longer and b) 4-strokes had not come along when they did, I think he would have challenged for championships.

I have to agree with this. Windham may have quite a few wins to his name, but he was never as dominant as Bradshaw was.

Regional Supercross titles aren't counted as major titles.

I was trying to stir the MXGP pot. If you have to explain a joke, it probably wasn't very funny to begin with. Or you're just too stupid to get it Whistling

Bradshaw or Windham. Bradshaw quit early so he fewer years but Windham was around a long time to never win as good as he was.

Thanks Guy!

Might help if I was a Yank and knew anything about the team I guess...

But shame on you for stirring shit deliberately!
