If I was smoking crack, I wouldn't have time to post, maybe the racers perspective is making bad decisions..

What I want to know Lenny is why you even watch the races only to discredit the winners by calling it a depleted field. That's a crock. What's your motivation to watch it and what enjoyment do you get out of it if these guys are so terrible?

Also would like to know why every one of your posts ends with 3 periods.

Yup, they shouldn't even race... Well, just not Chad, but everyone else is ok, right?

What kills me is, stuff like when James and RC tangled, no one saw it from a racers perspective, James was called damn near everything in the book, Grant who never attempted to avoid Mike yesterday gets a pat on the back, and the move was looked on from a racers perspective as something anyone would have done..

If you look at it again, he did try to lean away from Alessi.

That's a bit different than keeping your bike pinned and flat out jumping on a guys back...lol

I respect you as a long time fan of the sport, but age doesn't necessarily make you right. Sometimes you come across as an internet troll and other posts of yours I agree with. The real story here is whether you race or not, the intent of that pass is only known by one person.


To me it looked like lines came together as Josh was not the only one to use that line all day. Alessi squared it up and ran into the side of him. I haven't been a racer for almost a year now so you can respect my perspective a little can't you?

What about from the fans perspective?..Jeannie Carmichael never raced, but yet she turned out one of the best, does that mean her opinions are whacked?..

What you saw and what I saw are two different things, that's all, but since you've raced my opinion has to take a back seat?...

Didn't say that. What you read and what I wrote are two different things.

That last bit was meant sorta as sarcasm. I do suck at text sarcasm.

You said what it looked like to you...I saw no attempt to avoid it, I say he knew that was Mike in front of him...

It sure looked to me as if it was racing! Look at the video again and look at how many people pretty much took the same line as grant did while mike was still on the ground. Sure looked like a lot of guys were almost running over mike with the same line that grant took. who gives a crap! two guys come together and one went down! I like both guys and from the racers perspective would have done the same thing.
