Nothing beats a post on Instagram to gain likes and follows talking about other people posting on Instagram to get likes and follows.

Kinda ironic, just like retired motorcycle riders offering their expertise on medicine and public health.

That said, I am sure some good points in there and there will he a bunch of misogynistic replies, that just aren't called for, bit will happen on a public forum.

They say you should never meet your heros, and social media is a good way to get to know them all too well.

These videos just show you how good Ralph Sheehen was. Ralph brought the energy to Supercross.

Every announcer since has just been flat and low energy compared to Ralph

Since no one is willing to point out where she is wrong, do you actually believe you know more than her?

She wasn't some Monster Girl he picked up, they've been together since kids, traveling the GP's together, no family, all back in AUS.

She's qualified to offer an opinion

David Pulley wakes up this morning, reads Ellie’s post and goes “holy shit, this whole time I thought I was supposed to enter the whoops as slow as possible.” The light bulb goes off.

David quickly loads up his bike and heads straight to Lake Elsinore SX track. After a sight lap, he lines up for the whoops, shifts UP instead of down, hammers whoops clean for the first time in his life.

After 10 years of trying, David Pulley finally makes the night show, main event and gets a fill in ride with PC for Shimoda/Hammaker.

Ellie opens up training facility, puts Aldon and all the others out of business.

They just didn’t know like Ellie knows.

Big James, Tony Alessi, and John Tomac all raced. John Tomac has a Loretta Lynn's championship in the 30 plus class. None raced at the level of their sons, but all are more qualified than someone than never raced at all.

The "drop the manfriend posting Instas of you nailing a freshly groomed track and get a real coach" is the truth bomb she's dropping that probably applies to most of these guys.

Sometimes going back to stock settings will make you faster through the whoops.

Nothing she said was that far off, but what teams are using test riders for bike setup? Were they worse in the whoops Saturday?

I'm not sure why she is so upset, but generally that seems to be how some people are now-a-days.

That said, first time I hit a set of whoops was my first race. I had just bought a 99 CR125 (had the XR100 before) and was on the line of the beginner class. A local rider was helping me at the line. I turned to him and asked...how do I hit those things (whoops) ..he said, lean back as far as you can and hold it wide open. So that's what I did. They weren't big whoops but I was hooked the first time I hit them. Ever since then I've loved whoops. I used to use our 4wd backhoe to build the biggest sets that I could. I'd just run through them, back and forth, for hours on end. The sound and the feeling of hitting whoops is the best.

I really don't care if people can't hit them, doesn't impact my life. If a top pro can't do it and crashes it is a bit of a bummer for the season though.

I like Ellie and her involvement in the sport. She's cool as can be. If i was a struggling privateer and i read her thoughs...i'd be annoyed.

Will they talk about this on Pulpmx tonight?

Yet she isn’t saying anything wrong. You can be as disgruntled as you wish. The facts are still the facts. If David Pulley isn’t WILLING to change his approach, then his results will stay the same.

Each one of the top tier riders has gone through learning how to hit whoops properly. They went through growing pains, lessons, frustrations, etc. But what is it that separates them? Bike setup? Mental fortitude? Balls? Technique? She nailed it.

Would you react any differently if this post was from Chad himself?

Love this!!! She was in Reedy's ear too.

As most said ... "is she wrong?!"
Grow some balls is just Aussie slang for commit and have confidence going in them. Ie Reed,Craig, Brayton, Millsaps, Windham. Sometimes they do go down but everybody does once in a while.

Im sure Mathilde Musquin could hold a pretty decent 1 or 2 day clinic for the avg Nov rider just from the hours at the track shes had with Marvin.

Im sure if Ricky was 1 foot taller, Jeannie would of made RC the goat at whoops too.

that being said the rant was a little too long but im a fan of the Reed clan. Their youtube videos are good vibes
