I lost respect for Anderson over the years for his well earned dirty riding reputation, I didn’t like Zacho when he destroyed Savatchy in Vegas, Motocross is dangerous enough without blatant take out moves. And I was on the fence as a Cooper fan BUT man oh man do I RESPECT the hell out of these guys who manned up and answered the call. I am now a fan of all three of these guys who were at least man enough to go race dirt bikes for our national pride!As a former service member, like all the men and women have ,( who singed the blank check for up to my limbs and or life) I bleed red white and blue. You would think no one would refuse the honor of racing for the Des Nations Team. Yes I’m old. It’s still the Des Nations to me!
I will not respect the selfish whiney babies who decline to race for team America. I’m too busy blah blah blah. That line is blown out of the water by Zach’s Anderson and Cooper they found the time. I know the Euros do everything they can to tilt the scales in their favor but dammit give em hell boys! France is out. Tommy Searal (sp) is out for the Brits. We really only need to worry about the Freaky Deaky Dutch Where can I donate to the team?

Thats what its all about, kudos to anderson,osborne and cooper for representing.
The Shop
This is the strongest team we’ve had in years.
I've gone from respecting these three, to being a fan. They stepped up!
See what I did there?
Soap box off now.......
Huge thanks to Zach, Jason, and Cooper for representing our Red, White, and Blue. We support and appreciate your efforts, win or lose.... GO TEAM USA!!!
P.S. Thumbs down all you want, IDC......
Eli is awesome, clearly, but the shit he talked after last years MXoN, saying things like "that race added a few years onto my career" etc. left me with the impression that it would've been him heading overseas a month early to prepare for this race. The motivation isn't there with that guy so I have zero percent interest in seeing him on the team. This is our "A" team.
But I'm pretty sure there was never an expectation that they do it for free or give back earned vacation time.
Isn't this kind of what we ask of riders who do the MXON?
If a rider tells me that he needs a month off, to get away from racing & recharge the batteries for next year, who am I to say he doesn't? I've certainly never been in the position to know what it takes to compete in MX/SX at the highest levels. There could be a little stress involved in competing for & winning championships.
I do respect the team that is going, but I'm not mad at the guys who aren't going, but maybe could have.
Pit Row
Having three guys who really want to go AND are super fast is huge. Cooper can win the 250 race or for sure top three.
JA and ZO can win their classes as well with a little luck. They will both be in great shape AND both those guys will be willing to bang bars with Herlings if they get the chance. They won't be afraid of him one bit IMO.
This team is so solid. They’re headstrong and will do anything to get it done.
This isn’t discrediting Zach, Jason, or Justin, they are all fast guys and get my respect for choosing to go race. I don’t see why you can’t see that.
The race is now a huge payday for Luongo & Co., and they leverage "patriotism" to try to multiply that payout. The French issue with the Red Bull hat costing the rider his position while the Monster hat with 2 green claws was allowed did away with any pretense of this race now being anything more than that.
Tomac has rode the MXoN in the past and given it his best.
Do you not respect service members who do their agreed to enlistments and then discharge? Or do you only respect those that continue to reenlist even though they've already served? That's how ridiculous this "respect" criteria of yours is.......
And actually this year he did not seem to be as comfortable in the sand for some reason as prior years. Southwick is a good example.
I think JA and Zacko are going to let it all hang out. Crash or win. They both are on a mission to prove something. That fact should worry the Euro's.
I would love seeing the two of them sandwich Mr. Herlings!
