Chad Reed is the man. I love how candid he is about all the behind the scenes shit. He also said he won't be in Seattle which sucks. To tell you the truth if it wasn't for telling my 7 yr old twins they'd be going to their 1st sx race I wouldn't be going.

To tell you the truth, I won't be going.

I won't reward Feld Motorsports with the money for my ticket or the 5 people who I was going to bring. The championship is over. What's the point? I can watch it on TV and if I had my way, NO ONE would go in protest over the bullshit last Saturday night to send a message to those people.

Chad Reed's not going either, by the way, and I love how outspoken he was in his criticism of the right people.

I'd rather take my boys riding than go see a "supercross" race with nothing at stake due to the shocking arrogance and incompetence of the Feld Motorsports.

Good stuff there. I enjoy his truthfulness. I too have noticed the arrogance one of the Dirt Wurx guys. Its a shame it came down to this.

At the same time, Dirt Wurx has done a lot of good. Maybe this was a wake up call.

I can't believe a racer has the cajones to speak anything other than the highest praises for ANYONE!

I'm equally shocked that several Vital members are in agreement!!! I mean, not even one person on here has lambasted CR for being "a dick" or for "being wrong" . . . YET!

Just wait till the pole smokers get ahold of this information. All you that have responded to this WITHOUT any negativity are going to be ridiculed and made to feel ashamed of yourselves for "hating the sport".

Just watch . . . and laugh.

How correct was his first point!!!!

They take away the berms for the small chance that a bike will go up into the stands...

But they keep a dangerous jump that the riders have to jump 20 times in a main...

It's GREAT to hear Reed say exactly what the SMART people have been saying on here.

It's hilarious how if anyone besides Chad Reed says the tracks are unnecessarily dangerous, that person gets called a "pussy ass bitch".

However, now that he has said it, I don't hear those people. Weird.

He just said exactly what I said... the landing gave no leeway... If that landing was round and smaller then RV woulda ridden it out... so he had to eject!

Stick that in your pipe retards...

People have given Chad shit for speaking his mind all the time, but hell, at least he speaks the truth!!!!

Chad has always said it like it is... Of course, being a multi millionare gives you the security to say that stuff. Some new kid could never get away with saying he was over SX in the middle of the season.
Will be fun outdoors, RD, CR, GRANT, ALESSI... Hope Poto can get back by round 2 somehow.

Crush, uptite and those other guys no more then Chad. Fuck, they need to go argue with CR as they know exactly what a pro rider would have done in RV case with a rounded landing... (Sacarism)

Sounds like CR is thinking retirement. Good inteveiw. Is PC done with SX for the remainder of the season? Dean Wilson said today, no more SX, and is looking forward to the outdoors! I liked Chads thoughts on the USGP as well.

I dont claim to know more then Chad, never did I say that.

I said and I still believe it, that the reason RV crashed was because of the lead up to the jump and hitting the rut wrong. He was 2 feet short on that deal and his bike hit the face of that jump not the top. You could round that top all you want and it wouldnt have made a difference.

Oh and for the record, Chad said to a different person that the landing wasnt the bad part, it was the ruts on the face that was a killer.

If it was lowered and rounded, he wouldnt have gone down

OK let's think like this- you are coming down short on a down ramp you will front wheel high and try and soak it up. If that thing is wall like steep you should try and bail like RV did and land on the down ramp with your feet. That is what I was aways told after I rode it out and broke my scaphoid and dislcoated my shoulder. Becasue it is a wall you stop dead and things break.

Rounded you would try and back wheel land it and soak it up. In my opinion of course and what I was told and taught by some.

I was there, I seen what I seen and he was coming up way short, there is no way he was riding that out. The second he left the ramp he was in panic rev mood and then ejected.

You know what, if you lowered it about 4 feet then yea he might have pulled it, but then everyone would have bitched about the track being to easy.

According to Reed, the slightest mistake on that jump would require you to bail because of it's nature. you can make a track technical and safe at the same time. having a tall peak at a landing is a retarded idea. The tolerance for a mistake has to be higher.

By the way uptite I do agree he was coming up short, he did look to lose momentem from the take off due to probably takign different line as Emig stated. Also somehting about one foot ruts on take off. The point of all this I thought; was he would be OK if the down ramp was rounded off lowered some..

actually tedesco likely wouldn't have went down but I think RV would have done what tedesco actually did and clip the top and go down into the berm, he was too short, unless you took out that third hump altogether. It's not easy to stay on the bike if you're landing in the face of something.

No I am not agreeing with them, it sarcasm. If you lowered it far enough for him to ride it out it wouldnt have been a jump anymore.

if he was coming up 2 ft short, and the height was 2 ft shorter and rounded, he would have cased it, but he wouldnt have bailed, and he might not going end over end. Maybe he wouldt have gone down, but he would have had a chance.
Who cares if people on the internet bitch about it being too easy, lets be honest, no one would have noticed

Normally when I have been around jumps or tracks being done, when you round it off you normally lower it. Taking the peak off and rounding the jump.

Uptite, watch the footage, it clearly shows RV didn't go through a rut...

He had to move right because of the lapper on the preferred left line where the ruts were and where they had been jumping all day...

Argue all you want, he woulda been fine with a round smaller landing...
