Hey guys, just wanted to see how long we could keep a thread objective, on track and not personal? I am a sarcastic feller (sorry RichardLoots, all in good fun), but let's keep this within the realm of realistic. Throw out some of your own, objective observations (sorry Matthes), not hypothetical what-ifs.
I'll start: JH 84 is one fast mo-fo, and everyone should be able to see that if they are any kind of moto fan. AF214, that kid is on rails, and gaining confidence in droves lately?! Whether you love him or hate him, you cannot question the heart and drive of Cooper Webb. Will be great to see everyone go at it next weekend at The Glen! Here's to TIGA243 and AC222 having a better weekend and bringing a race to the blazing fast ET3.

The Shop
Same for Glen helen, although some have ridden it before, it would require a special bike setup that US based riders would be more comfortable.
An example would be the great rides by Josh Grant at this track.
( I think a better solution is for a one off race here in Australia where riders from both series come and race. Neutral ground, close to my home! )
I doubt the pc bikes or webb's were down on power.
1) he isn't 100%
2) I don't think he gets to ride at night very often
Having said that, the AMA owned the euros yesterday! plain and simple
That was just awesome to watch the series must be combined AMA and MXGP for at least 4 years so we can make up who the baddest of them all really is :D
Great 1st moto win by Herlings
Great 2nd moto win by Webb
Forkner is the overall winner here in my book any day of the week the kid is something special giving both Herlings and Webb plenty to fight for.
Tomac was awesome as i expected to be, he will get there sooner or later this year just a bit short for Ken but thats ok he was simply unbelievable in the outdoors this year.
Little disappointed for TC that was really a bad weekend for him
I think that all the things going around here between some euro's and some americans is getting a little out of hand lately . And i would love that this forum gets back to normal soon because it's no fun anymore to go trough all the pages of bull crap off whom is the best and sandbagging this and sandbagging that.
I don't give a fuck all these riders r badass and when they ride the same races WE R THE WINNERS
Seeing Coop give it his all again and this time in front of HIS home crowd while getting the win was fantastic. Good for him!!
Bring on MXoN!!
Why us it so important for you to define it, or judge it, or rank it, or catergorize it? What does that do for you?
Are you afraid that your country is inferior? Do you think that if American motocross is better, that it makes this country better, and that somehow makes you better? What other reason would make you care about who is better? Are you a promoter, or a manufacturer, or a team owner, or a riding coach, or a trainer, or rider, or a tuner? What exactly is your stake in this? What is your contribution? In what way is your pride at stake?
Pit Row
Other than JH the AMA 250 class is much deeper and faster than the MX2 class
Other than Kroc,Tomac and Dungey, the MX1 class is deeper and faster than the AMA450 class
The Euro's have raced at Glen Helen multiple times now and I am sure their bikes are properly set up and they are far more familiar with the circuit than the US riders going over for a one off MXDN. I believe next week will be another true test of speed without excuses. Charlotte was a neutral track but the Gp riders had to travel.
One off races in another country are always more difficult to win. Both series are hard to switch to and get immediate success.
Now my opinion : KROC is the FMOP this year
AMA 250s always have a constant stream of fast guys coming through,a testament to a great amateur programme.
KROC could well be FMOP but I'd love to see him and more race some Euro tracks, not just a few at the MXdN ,the cross overs always add so much excitement
I am on an MX forum and would like to hear actual fans of the sport discuss something without petty bias or BS comments that do not provide shit other than make the poster look like an ignorant fool.
I happen to like MX, SX and most forms of racing, really, all over the world. Of course I have my favorite riders, but I appreciate the 40th guy on the gate for the simple fact that he too digs the sport. It is extremely rare for me to ever talk negatively about a rider, unless there was an act done or words spoken that warrant my zero consequence bearing comments on here.
It's a moto forum, not The National Enquirer, Katoomey. If you don't like someone's post, or if you cannot comprehend their intent or meaning, just kindly STFU and move along.
