Jeffrey was really bummed and the dutch MX community is also really bummed so they started a action:
Jeffrey Herlings is also nominated to win "the sport moment of the year" award and that award is given to the video with the most Internet votes! So if you wanna vote on Herlings movie, that would be cool, so we can prove that MX lives!

How do you vote? The video keeps telling me access denied and I can't read the web page. I tried this morning in the other thread about it, but it didn't work then either.

This is about more that Herlings... This is about the sport, allot of other sportsmen are thinking that racing a dirt bike isn't a sport! This is also about appriciation from the sport we all love, WE ALL LOVE!!

Is there a box to check for "Best use of swear words in a post race interview"?

And I agree Mattii, If you don't like him, you have to realize the vote is for the sport of motocross as much as it is the person.

Thanks for voting guys! If it you see an opportunity you can also ask your friends to vote Wink
To the guys who aren't voting: I can't say you need to vote, but I don't get it that you have such a strong opinion about a guy you've never saw in real life or you've never spoken with! He isn't to bad, he is just young and a bit impulsive like we all are at that age.

Maybe the people doing the voting at the Gala saw him swear on international tv, or bomb people on twitter, or act like a fool over and over again?!?

Maybe...

Sorry dude, I can't concentrate on anything you're saying. All I see is your avatar with that sexy girl bunny.

Got any more of her? Those hips!!! Just gimme her name so I can look her up later.

It sounds like the Dutch need to create some additional categories for their sports gala. If were spots for lets say biggest embarrassment or biggest douche he's a hands down winner.

I suppose dropping that swear word was pretty heat of the moment,he certainly cleeaned up it act after that and conducted himself very well after that,he had hisdressing downi

Its a public vote afterall and when he did what he did to the AMA champs,Roczen etc,after all that cocky smack talk of how he was gonna get his ass kicked,I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of people on here didn't vote

I guess if it was Barcia for example even after pulling moves like roosting doctors and track staff,and that crazy Bercy incident,which would have possibly earned him a ban.in the AMA,ii bet there'd be plenty of ass kissing,but there you go

if herlings was american then some of the people slagging him off would be touting him as the second coming of jesus christ- but as he's 'a euro' they don't like to admit the immense talent the kid has. (dont think it helped when he embarrased the 3 best american riders at the des nations either)

he's had a hell of a year- world champion, des nations race winner at such a young age. Cant deny that whatever you think of him away from the track.

Im certain all of you haters would change your opinion of jeffrey if you actually met/ spoke to him. He's always been very approachable and polite when i've spoke to him- even helped us with line choices at the track/ telling us which tracks to go to whilst we were over in holland / belgium on vacation. His mechanic was very helpful too- his ride at the lierop gp has to be the best ride i've ever seen, he was on another planet that day! Never seen anything like it. Glad i was there to see it

x2
and have to agree with the guys above too

and we can say that even after he beat our guy to the championship

be interesting to see what would have happened to a euro rider if they would have pulled a 'barcia' roosting the docs and having a melt down

If you 'don't get' why people have strong opinions on him then you don't get accepted standards of behavior.

Herlings has done more damage to the integrity of the sport than anyone.

Done,

I think he's a cool kid, definately has an attitude but I like his rip, shit and bust approach to life.

attitude and non conformity have a place in mx as far as i'm concerned

MXMatti...

Your accusations towards Laura Smulders ("the BMX girl") have no foundation. I urge you to think for yourself and check facts before posting such nonsense.

Besides qualifying for the Olympics and performing extremely well she has also won several national, european and world championship titles in the amature classes. In only her second year in the premier Elite class she managed to grab the bronze medal at the Olympic Games and also won the last World Cup of the season.

She has performed well over the span of several years and not just 1 event!


Jeffrey is an amazing talent and great at what he does. If he continues to do so he will get his moment of glory.

Winning the first world title for Holland in 19 years is a bigger achievement than getting third. Herlings deserved that award for all he achieved this year..it was an incredible year ... his rides in Lierop and at the Des Nations were just insane and will be remembered for generations. He was winning GPs at 15 and world champ at 17,

As usual motocross and it's riders don't get the respect they deseve.
