Awesome to meet him, one of the top dudes in the world. Respect. This coming from a huge et3 fan. I ll try to load the photo.

Why does everyone feel the need to clarify that they are a huge fan of a certain rider when they give credit to another?

Same reason everyone has to be a complete dick.

Tough crowd... MXB2, how cool was it just to bench-race with the guy? He's here to have fun and race dirt bikes with other fast guys, nothing more or less. That's pretty damn cool. I'm guessing he does well. His approach is old-school, and he just seems up for a challenge, whether he succeeds or not. Gotta respect that from a three-time world champ.

Some grumpy motherscratchers around here.
much ty. How to spot a paid forum poster/artificial forum traffic producer (see list of actions/phrases below):
Copius pattern amounts of phrases like “Anyone have”..., “Anybody know?”.... and their variations.
Thoughts?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Right on DC! Glad to have him here for a run with some of our best on our soil. He's obviously wanting to have some fun, and God bless him for wanting to do so. Best of luck to him!

I rode in the hotel elevator with Roczen's mechanic back in 2010 at the MXdN. Cool guy, shot the shit, no photo taken. I'm a yuuuge KRoc fan by the way.

This will be fun to watch on Saturday. JH84 is one of the best in the world. Nice when things line up like this because it doesn't happen very often.

I'd be curious what he thinks of the fans/turnout/event compared to the GPs. Too bad he isn't racing Red Bud. Well, not until next year anyways.

Well since on the topic. I'm gong to just state why I like him so much. 1. He is his own person. He speaks his mind about race situations with no regard for the camera in his face. He's got a "swagger" I appreciate. Kinda like Kroc. 2. He has a God like skill on a bike (in sand esp) that we haven't seen since Stewart blast on the scene back in the day and blew everyone's mind. 3. He came over here to race out of his own free will to live a dream and entertain our ass.
If you are a moto fan and can't get behind him just because he came from a different part of planet earth than you... well then I don't know what the hell to tell you. Poor you.

It's self defense, in this case hes an American liking a Euro rider a lot of people on here will despise that.

Saying "cool story bro" should be a banable offense. Just sounds dumb as fuck and played out. In addition, it was completely unnecessary. If you don't like the thread content keep your trap shut and move on bro.
I for one think it's cool to see and talk to someone like JH at random in the states right before his AMA MX debut.

I think you are wrong. It's more to clarify he respects Herlings' talent and as a person despite being a huge Eli Tomac fan. You know, not a fan boy of one rider. Has absolutely nothing to do with who's from where and who gives a shit. I'll let mxb2 clarify that.

Pretty much spot on, I respect all those riders at that level, doesn't matter where they are from. We all have our favorites. Like I said it badass he is over here to race this round. And icing on the cake he was a friendly guy. Not the cocky person, some made him out to be. I am glad I can see them live Saturday.
