Your thoughts on the past winner. or is that whiner?

To me HE continues to portray himself as arrogant and offensive, stereotypical of the common view of the French.

Yes, i do pass by his Twitter account daily, (only for him to portray to the world what a wonderful lonely life he has.) it is entertaining as is MX Large. often craving recognition and reasserting that he is indeed himself.

Although his attacks on Vital members that post "scoops" only for DV to retort "welcome to 3 weeks ago".sadden me and bring me to write this Topic.


Love him, laugh at him or hate him, your thoughts or fond memories on DV.......

Here is my opinion, you are a douche bag. Just a little sissy girl who is too sensitive.

DV is cool in my book. But your post is stupid.

He posts at Vital and I'm sure you've seen much worse so why hold it against him because he won supercross mains or is French?

Pretty much everyone makes smart ass remarks at Vital sooooooooo....

Possibly these first two posters like DV, not sure though.
I'm not a huge fan of DV as a poster on this forum, and I've stated that before. But I also have the tact not to create a shit-talking thread for no good reason.

DV just calls it as he see's it with his own eyes.
It's nothing but opinion (opinion doesnt mean it's always right -it's ok to disagree).
But he does have a right to speak his mind,whether we agree or not.
I respect most of what he has done on and off the track throughout his career to this very day.
I also believe he's a very down to Earth nice guy.
He's one of the few riders of his caliber that doesn't have an ego - nor has he ever.

Not so fond memory.
The night he parked JT$ in Texas and bent his forks,when he didnt have to in the LCQ(last corner) was a pretty low/uncool move. JT$ & his Dad I believe just had bought the forks out of their own pockets.
But I also believe later that night after a pissing match on moto talk he offered to repay JT$ for the forks after everyone hammered on him for that move.
That is something to respect to a certain degree - him offering to pay for them - but I think Jason declined.
DV also said he did it for his sponsors when Jason flat out asked why he did that to him.
I never bought another BooKoo after that(Teams title sponsor).

My fond memories is how DV has treated the fans over the years.
He could be called the GOAT in his own right(Giving*est Of All Time).
I've seen him at the races go out of his way for the fans and also online do some very cool stuff for people (far more than most riders his caliber would do for the fans).

I've also seen him do some funny stuff,like the Screw Hammertime jersey.
And him giving Lucky shit on reality of speed was funny.
Loved that show when DV was on it. Smile

My Topic was to provoke a discussion, i already knew my thoughts, i wanted to know your thoughts....about DV.

In hindsight i could have not written the first few sentences of my topic, but what done is done.

After all i only "Say it how it is"Laughing

I get your original post and where you are coming from.
My advice to you is don't judge him just off the stuff you see him write online or for mags.
If you ever make it to a race and he's around,go talk to him.
He's actually a very nice guy,down to Earth with no ego.

I remember at his first race here in states in Seattle in the 125 class.
He was so humble and in awe walking around everyone just thought he was a fan before the races (even TFS thought that).
He went out and won the 125 main that night LOL.
Put back on his street clothes a sweater, jeans & ski jacket( I think) and walked around like a fan.
He didn't act like he was anything special.

Your topic was to insult DV again, like you did in the other thread where you called him a "wanna be" and "never has been".

I wonder which is saltier... Ocean water or you?

Agreed... His "back in my day, we walked to school in the snow, up hill both ways!" view point cracks me up.

I think one of my very first posts on the inter-net was shit talking about DV, about 1999 or 2000

He got on Moto News and let me have it, been a fan ever since and met DV a few times at different races always been a nice guy to me.

If he bugs you best advice I can give is get over yourself.
5/7/2016 5:40pm
When you have beat him on the track then criticism is forthcoming

I'll tell you guys this for nothing. I met DV in his pits at Thunder Valley. He was busy and his wife was in the mix but when I mentioned that I was a Vital member....he dropped what he was doing and talked my ear off. I know he doesn't post here so much these days but I got the impression he enjoyed this site and the assholes that inhabit it. He's a no shit Frenchie but he backed his shit up...RESPECT.

Some think i'm a hater, contrary to that, i am a follower of his, Twitter and pulp, as i said it is his arrogance towards others that saddens me.

Calling him a has been, wanna be, is not the first time, DV himself has commented on me in the past, you don't need to defend him, He is DV!

The only reason twitter exists is DV race updates.

He's probably a great guy, but I've never really been a fan. He got a great start with his attitude on that 125, ran mid-pack during his prime 250 years, took a digger with that reality show, and now he's about to go a lap down with his post-mx arrogance, IMO. Sure he's one of the greats and knows his stuff, but he just seems bitter and angry. I'd rather hear commentary from Roncada or Tortelli, but that's just me.

Ran mid pack in his prime 250 years? How about in 2002 when he finished 2nd points behind RC, while also having a handful of wins that season. The amount of arrogance here is astonishing at times.

It's called an analogy.

Or metaphor.

Pretty sure it was a metaphor
5/7/2016 6:18pm
I don't want him to be my buddy so I couldn't care less if he's a nice guy or an idiot.

His observations of the races on pulpmx are usually what I look forward to reading the most
