I just watched the absolutly fantastic second season of MX Nation ( SUCH a great series...) and I have a question about Swanepoel.....
Does this guy have any "training" credentials? Or is he just an ex rider who just decided he was a trainer? He seems very smug and a bit on the arrogant side.
I don't know a lot about his career but from what I gather he had a pretty underwhelming MX career, not much of anything except 2nd OA in a British series and didn't have a lot of success in the US.
I guess I'm not sure why a "should be" superstar like Coop is working with him....... not sure the expected results are where they could be.....
Don't get all bitchy on me, I'm not hating , just wondering.

Before you forget, he also trainend Webb last year when he won a Supercross and Motocross title!!!!
Nothing wrong with this Guy! He knows his shit.

And no disrespect to anyone, I'm just curious.
As for last summers Nationals, well..... J Mart DID go out with broken ribs and Versatchy WAS schooling Coop before Coop got things going so......something something hollow championship..... . ( I'm kidding! )

Is Gareth?
Cause he seems to have a very lofty ambition of beating some the best riders out there ( Marv and Ando ) and so far this outdoor season, they aren't doing a very good job of it. And didn't in Supercross either.
Didn't say much, and when he spoke he wasnt very happy...
Didn't even let Coop answer our questions himself, i asked what he thought about bowers since they were racing on different coasts that year.
Totally demented Tyler and said how mentally unstable he was (well he was, kinda...).
That was maybe what cooper needed since he won though
I think what Sean now is bringing to the table is experience and knowledge, and puts together the whole package for the riders etc.
Do you think Milsaps mum is a 'trainer?'

He's a trainer is someone if willing to pay him for his training services. It's not rocket science.
Not trying to bash Aldon enough other people already do that and I thought it was unprofessional and in bad taste when Roczen did it. Aldon seems to have better credentials than most anyone else. But I do think Aldon probably owes Ricky more for his own success than vice versa.
So been "qualified" doesn't necessarily mean anything.
