No matter what Ryan Dungey does or doesn't do after tonight's race, I'll always remember this...

Not so much a boring rider. Last year his aggression was pretty fun to watch. So in control and coils dial it up at any point.

He is just too much of a company man at times. I guess he thinks being pc is what sponsors want.

That picture is great, seriously, is there one of any of the other great riders like this? There are plenty of them jumping high, scrubbing low, railing a berm. This picture right here though, this is so unique, third main event, shifting with his hand. He could have pulled aside, the Million was already lost, but as a racer, the race was not.

How can people hate when you see this type of focus and commitment. I honestly believe everyone one of the pros we are watching now would do the same thing should they find themselves in it, the difference here is, it actually happened.

or the fact that he raced a full main event with a cracked collarbone and nearly caught Villopoto in the process. Definitely not an exciting rider to watch.

If it is Dungey's last year, the guy has given me something to look forward to for the past 7 years (that I have been watching consistently and it was because of him) and I set my seasons by Supercross/Motocross/and football and thus am filled all year around. He has been a wonderful representative of the sport of supercross/motocross and ive taken a lot of crap by Poto fans (not on the board but in real life) for sticking up for Ryan through it all, but the guy is the epitome of everything I "wish" I could remotely strive to be and he is truly a down to earth person at the end of the day.

Congrats Ryan!

Dungey is probably drinking a lot of H2O on the rocks and getting crazy tonight. He should go partying with Emig and see how he to really celebrate a championship. Congrats to Dungey for being Dungey, ne should retire now and enjoy life.

He knows how to party. But work comes first.

I swear some of you must still be in elementary school and will hopefully never inherit a business. That being PC dude just won his sponsors and employers 8 national titles along with playing a major role of getting our sport more exposure with things like winning two ESPY's and bringing in sponsors like Target and Nike along with James.

For christ sakes the guy was on a Wheaties box. If you would of asked me back in the 80's if we would have a motocross rider on a box of Wheaties before we put a MX rider on moon I would of laughed at you. But since he bores some of you I'm sure the sport will do much better with him not around since you claim "your view" is what the majority of fans want.


You guys would vote Hannie on the box of Wheaties before you would Dungey. That be great for our sport to bring in more bro shows.

This is an entertainment sport. Giving generic answers is not entertaining.

I should clarify. I believe this is how many fans view it, not me alone. I respect the guy, just generally he isn't doing nearly what he could have. McGrath and Pastrana were on late night Tv. Growing the sport outside our industry.

Why would I inherit a business? I am perfectly capable of building my own. Did you inherit yours?

Calm down.

That was an epic ride by a true champion. Loved that race.
