We have now, and for nearly a decade, been in an era where every single athlete in MX/SX is groomed from an early age. The standard set by RC, Stew, Ryan V and Ryan D, is paramount. This is obvious.
Some feel that we lack a “next big thing” rider such as those listed above. Others feel that the entire field has been training/homeschooled/lived at facilities since early childhood and have elevated the bar so high that everyone is prodigal. Which is it? Is It just chance that there is no obvious stand out on the horizon or is it insurmountable lifelong pressure causing inconsistency and ultimately big mistakes, injuries aside

Like Rhonda Rowsey (sp?) and MMA. She destroyed everyone because she was good, yes, but mainly because the rest of the compitition was so far off where they should be or needed to be. She ran her course and then other women caught on to what they needed to be doing and came and destroyed her shortly after. It happens everywhere.
Both will be awesome, I shouldn't take away from Reynolds
The Shop
I have been following Jammin Josh Varize for several years, since he was in 65cc, future top rider.

Bye the way this is my list and I will quote it in a few years.
Jo Shimoda
Jett Lawrence
Max Vohland
Josh Varize
Ty Maesterpool
and that LeBlanc kid.
Jett smoked everyone on that RM85 last year but this year he is really strugling on that RM250Z, I heard it is Seewer bike from last year. I really think he needs to ride more races on the 250cc and then things will be OK and other wise he can still step down to the Supermini in 2019 when they are coming to the states for Geico.
Pit Row
I think on of them two will be “the next big thing”. There are #5, #7 and #22 holes to fill on the top steps.
There were so many fast kids at the MEC on Superminis riding the track like a boss.
Still early to tell with them, burnout, body growth, who knows.
See Eddie Hicks, or even Mike Alessi. Alessi was good but really, he never won anything except a Canadian championship. He seems very nice and professional at our races.
