Since when is somebody the next RV? RV hasn't done enough for people to label others that.
Haha I'm going with the Alaskan thats been living with him for the past year
You could have must left off the "in America" part and been completely correct.....!

I always wonder if it's distracting for the Kawi guys to ride there with all the stuff right outside the track.
With all the money he makes you would think he could fix them chiklets

be nice to snaggle tooth...
I don't know about that. In the Am. ranks RV wasn't a lock to do what he is doing now. On mini's he was usually 2nd behind Alessi and on the big bikes people were eyeing Jason Lawrance right along with RV when they turned Pro.
If you look at Austin's Am. days he might have been a little better than RV or right along the same lines. The thing we aren't seeing yet is the super quick progression that we saw from Ryan. Yes, Austin is doing very well, but not on the same level as RV IMHO. He has the ability and skills though if he puts his mind to it.
Either way, coming out of the Am's James had the class covered and everyone know it, even if they didn't want to admit it.

RV's biggest problem in the AM ranks seemed to be his size. He made Alessi look big at times! I remember the track owner at a place he used to ride at a lot saying that he and RV's dad were talking about how he might just never get much of a pro shot unless he grew quite a bit.

He had them fixed over a year ago.. try to keep up.

I think they were "sorta" fixed, it sounded like he'd need some major surgery to get things "normal".
Either way, it's a pretty shitty deal to keep bringing up the teeth thing. I can't imagine that it was anything other than bad genetic luck that he ended up that way, doubtful it was anything he could have done something about to prevent it. It certainly doesn't slow him down at all.
Seriously, those two dudes are for real.
Pit Row
Exactly. 'Poto would've been certainly been close to JS and CR if Kawi would've let him race the 450's this season. 'Poto has had 3 seasons; this is Stroupe's first(full). Not fair to compare the two yet since Villapoto has had much more seasoning.

You know, I don't think that's a fair statement. Actually, if you look it at, their results at this point in their careers are almost the exact same.
Villopoto raced a few nationals at the end of 2005, got up to speed quickly and got a podium by the end of his first few nationals. Stroupe did the same in 2007....he had some up and down rides, but was pulling down podium finishes right away.
Villopoto's rookie season in SX started in '06, he was fast and fighting for podiums, but was pretty inconsistent and took a backseat to Langston and Short for the most part. Stroupe's rookie SX season this year has started almost the EXACT same, scrapping for podiums with Dungey and Lawrence.
While it will be a hell of a feat for Stroupe to match Villopoto's results in the coming months, so far their Pro careers have been very closely paralelled.

I would agree with that, except that I don't think Dungey and Lawrance are at the same level as Short and Langston were RV's first year. I'd have to look at the results, but I'd say tha the field was deeper RV's first year. That's just MHO.

dungey and j-law are consistenatly putting in times almost as fast as Reed, and not sure, but I'd venture to guess their lap times are faster than langston and short on 450s. They're on par.
Supercross looks hard...
I could go out and do okay on any national/gp motocross track (for about 2 laps)...and by okay I don't mean run national speeds, but just run my speed...but I'm not sure I could even ride around a supercross track...

Well, you running your speed on an MX track is like you rolling the rhythm section on an SX track.
