Not for a whole season.
it's a weak fucking field at teh moment and if I.T. is winning, it wouldn't be anything to celebrate about.
Low point, in my mind, with the outdoor Nats.
that could explain a lot !
And you're no longer objective.
Might as well be amateur hour out there.
What we needed was a dark horse privateer to come up. Gavin or Cody, those guys ran so good for about a year each. If one of them had peaked this year, a privateer champ could have been a pipe dream. As it is now, the 250 class has all the talent.
Pit Row
That was good racing.
Lot of disrespecting the guys that are out there making it happen. Everyone wants RC and Bubba to battle every weekend. Get over it. They aren't out there.
Would IT or Reed or MA be on top if James was there? Not likely...but, it is what it is. And those guys are still faster as hell.
You just have to love jackholes who don't have a clue.
But Hahn and Short would have battled had the other guys been there, of course it would have been for like 7th and 8th..
I'm not arguing that the guys aren't fast... or that they are worthy of a championship...
All I am saying is that it isn't the same level. That's not being disrespectful. Those guys aren't dumb. They know whats up.
But, they might be better than they are being given credit for. What's the saying? Racing is 90% mental? These guys start performing and getting some results, the next thing you know they believe they belong and they are challenging the RVs and MAs next year...maybe. I hope so.
And as far as Hahn and Short go, the battling in the pack for 7th/8th rarely seems as intense as it does for a podium. Maybe it's just perception, but I don't see many guys race within a few bike lengths of each other swapping positions back that far in the pack.
In more ways than one in my opinion!
I don't give a damn if 5 good riders didn't race Colorado Out of the other 38 riders there, he was the best on that day, and those other 38 riders are the best in the United States that were racing that day. So, you whinners who say it's a weak field are ignorant ass's.
Booby has a great video vault he shares with us on occasion.
Back in the day, when I was dumb (okay, I'm still dumb, but dumber than I am now), I had it in my mind that the fast pro's at our local tracks were faster than the lappers qualifying for nationals and making the mains in supercross...(Like I said, I was completely ignorant at how fast those dudes making the night shows go)
Then I went to my first supercross...and I was pumped because one of the fastest local pros was going to race it...
Practice comes around, and I see all the 125 riders blasting around the track...and then I see the local guy...he tried the whoops twice and then started riding around them...rolled almost every jump that was right out of a corner, and could only occasionally triple both triples...needless to say, he didn't make the night show. And I thought he was one bad dude, because he was sweeping the 125, 250 and open pro classes every race here.
That experience REALLY opened my eyes. Anyone out there trying to qualify can haul the mail on a dirt bike and certainly deserve our respect...the dudes that qualify are freaky fast, lappers or not, and certainly deserve our respect...and the guys winning, well, it's just plain unbelievable how fast they can go.
No need to bash any rider...let alone a guy that just went 1-1 at an AMA national...
