At the beginning of the Season there was a poll on here if Cooper Webb could repeat as Champion.
I could not believe the haters come out of the woodwork.
In that thread I posted a picture of the Racer X cover with Cooper on it as Racer X Rider of the year. I don't remember who it was but somebody thought that it was a complete joke that he did not deserve it. Others thought he lucked into the championship, that he was not the fastest. 🤣
So after last week's horrendous crash in Dallas I must ask if any of the hate Club has changed their opinion of Cooper and the toughness and desire this kid has.

Take Eli for example the guy rarely smiles he's all business. And then there was Villopoto he did not have much of a personality either but it resulted in multiple championships and once he retired all of a sudden he's very likable and a fun guy that most people would love to hang with.
LaRocco, Stanton etc I could go on...
Stewart had a ton of haters but also crazy swingers. I don’t see the Coop swingers, or maybe they are just less obnoxious.
Dungey just got called boring or lucky. Not personally despised.
I’ve liked coopers riding since before he went pro. I’ve always been surprised by how many people don’t.
The Shop
Been a Coop fan since the first time I saw him race.
I like his personality.... he's a scrapper. He's an incredibly smart rider.... with the heart of a lion.
Jealousy is a strong emotion for the weak minded. Haters gonna hate.
I hope he has enough recovery time to keep this close next week and can be 100% ASAP.
Yeah, Yeah for you Tomac junkies - Eli's faster, but Cooper is more tactical and has race craft that exceeds Eli.
Watch him move through a crowd and I think you’ll appreciate this guys skills.
The pointing back at Roczen after winning his first anything in the 450 class last year and his comment about “He choked, I didn’t at Vegas last year. That’s the real Cooper Webb. That’s how he is off camera. I just can’t root for someone like that. I understand he has a lot of fans and I have no hate for them, I’m just not one of them. I’m super pumped he didn’t have a serious injury at Dallas. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
How can you not love a guy like that?!
If you truly knew him Off the track you would understand he is actually one of the more well thought out, caring riders. He has done a ton for me and his friends, as well as fans and people that have worked for him or with him.
His mom is a teacher and has kept him grounded since he was young. He’s naturally ultra competitive, clearly.
He is an entirely different person at home than you see on TV.
If you guys only knew how big of a dick guys like Dungey and Carmichael were behind the scenes. They just hid it better. All these guys have a level of selfishness and arrogance.
You must be young because you must never have known about Bob Hurricane Hannah and the stuff he used to say about his fellow racers and do to them on the track. I was there and saw it live--the Massacre at Saddleback when he blatantly T-boned Kent Howerton (who was a really nice guy) even said he tried to break his freaking leg!
But most people loved it because he was controversial and could back it up, much like Muhammad Ali, if you can walk the walk you can talk the talk!
As far as what you said about Adam you are wrong he said "he cracked, I didn't".
What else was he supposed to say when a mike was shoved in his face?
They had battled since they were on 80's and Adam received most of the attention from the Press and was touted to be the next big thing.
Btw I like Adam too, I just have always rooted for the underdog and have liked Cooper Webb since before he won his first championship and stated so on this board about it many years ago.
Pit Row
But I’m sure you guys all knew about that and judge that rider accordingly.
The reason I’m saying this is that you guys see a small sliver of the riders personalities and base a very firm opinion on it. 95% of the time the uneducated opinions I see on here of riders is far from the truth.
I don’t race or work day to day in the industry any more, but I love the sport and sometimes feel the need to speak up on the bullshit that gets spewed. Most of my friends are still active racers or work in the industry, so I can’t help but speak up sometimes.
I could have a full time job coming on here correcting people with facts.
look at the rest of the field:
Kenny: kind of a spaz sometimes, fast and stylish, had his share of tragedy and mystery drops in pace. Interesting guy.
Marvin: weird french guy, gives silly interviews, has dealt with family trials and has that dream wife who gets more stoked on his racing than any fan. interesting.
Eli: At times faster than anybody can comprehend, so much so that even he seems confused about his speed. other times he looks like he a total spode. frustrating, but interesting.
Anderson: seems like he keeps a calendar with a red circle around whatever day he can smoke weed again. fast, stylish, races aggressive but doesn’t cry when someone gives it back. interesting guy, if for reasons you don’t like.
Webb: ... rides a dirt bike well.
Please point out where he was wrong when he was battling tooth and nail to winning multiple 250 Championships. 🙄
But as Ralph points out he does ride with a chip on his shoulder, maybe that's what you're referring to?
Since 2012, Ryan Dungey has raised over $1 million dollars for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Yeah, that guy is such a dick. 🙄
I suppose it's all just a front to who he truly is as a human being.
One of this forum's resident f*ckwits said that I "hate Tomac"!
HATE?? HATE?? Ive never met the guy, I don't hate him!
Do I want to see him get beat? YES.
Do I want to see him crash & injure himself? Absolutely not.
