I don't wanna insult you Americans but c'mon if you got a rider like Pourcel in your championship then you don't booh at him. A great sublime rider like him deserves respect.
When i hear cheering when he is down hurt I get sick ... That isn't motocross any more that is more a hooligan thing from English Football. Is that what we want with our sport??
Aren't we better?? Do you American's have that level?? Do you want or sport to be that?
Be happy that the best of the best want to come at your championship! Be happy that you can see them live! But be a little bit smart and give them the respect they deserves...
Adore them because they make your championship as beautiful as you know it today.
Do you think if Pourcel was gone it was as good as know?? Do you think if Musquin, Roczen, Desalle, Herlings and that kind of guys stay away your Series would be as cool as it will be with that guys??
Don't be stupid and stop boohing them because otherwise you only deserve a ass whipping from France-Italy-Belgium at the MXDN...

Christophe is a cool guy, digs racing here, is awesome to watch, and has a really good sense of humor. Trey also mentioned over the P.A. last week that he thought it was lame to hear people booing Christophe.
Just about everyone here had ancestors who emigrated to the U.S. Just something to think about.
You know whats f**ked ??
When he went down and was holding his shoulder a BUNCH of guys in official Honda team shirts in the VIP area were cheering ( along with a bunch of other douche bags ) .

Prety sad really, and ii will tell you everyone better get ready for Marvin because he is a bad dude, as is Ken and the other that are comming over.
All the american fans better realize that there should be a level of respect for for the talent and who cares where they were born. These guys arent terrorist, yet they sometimes get treated like it.
The more top level guys we get over here the better our series is and will legitimize our series and championship.
Booing is stupid but IMO the cheering was not because becasue Pourcel was hurt but because their guys fortune suddenly changed.
Aren't you better?? Do you have that level?? Do you want our board to be that?
Obviously they should not be sad at the turn of events but to almost scream the tent down with glee was a bit tasteless I.M.O .
And Know all Americans are reading and everyone is thinking about mine goal is reached.
I think it is possible they were cheering because they had pretty much won the title,with CP going down.
I do not think you would have heard any cheering if the championship was not a stake,even if CP would have gotten a flat tire or pulled off because of a mechanical,I'm sure they would have been cheering also.
Personally, my money was on Pourcel to win this thing from the start of the season....
When I seen him down in that corner holding his arm,I was bummed to see the championship end like that for him.

You didn't hear the cheers for Chris when he was helped off the track. You didn't see all the people who stopped at the Pro Circuit rig after his crash to inquire about if he was okay.
You didn't see the American fans lined up to get his autograph on Saturday morning.
Chris Pourcel is one of the greatest riders this sport has, Who cares where he was born.
Please return to your anti- American ignorance now.
Bullshit. Not only bullshit, but a long history of bullshit!
And I won't placate you with an ass kiss statement about us "mainly being of European descent". You're generalizing and stereotyping, and being condescending to boot. I thought you enlightened Euro-types were so above all of that?
I didn't cheer when Pourcell went down, and admire his riding tremendously. Could give a shit if he's a Frog, just like 99% of all other American motocross fans.
You've shown your colors with the title of this thread alone. Nevermind the idiotic lead post.
I don't think anybody was booing because was CP hurt, just that he went down and that gave TC a shot.
but a racer shouldn't take it personally for the most part.
hell, people boo the villian in a fuggen movie theater for chryslers sakes.
However,the year that James raced Everts,when James laid it down in that first moto,there were plenty of Euro cheers, and also when James couldn't get the bike started 2 years later,they were cheering also.
It goes both ways.
What is even more messed up, is that they *call James "Boo-Buh" over on that side of the pond!

Drunken idiots even took to laying on the track to try and slow him down.
Stupid Europeans.
Blame Canada! Fuggin' Canuks are the cause of everything. Scum of the earth I say.
and wasn't something thrown at a rider this year, at one of the nationals.... wilson?
