I have no problem with older guys racing 250s, in fact i want to see that class open to everyone. Remove all the pointing out rules and remove the age rules in the GPs. We can't afford to limit job opportunities like this.
My problem with case Osborne is like you mention the double standard. He turned pro in 2005(?) and he is still racing on a 250 in a class with half of the 250 racers. Then add to the equation that he is the reigning champ! Just imagine if this would be Davalos.
Zach is a good dude and it has nothing to do with him. But i really, really dislike the double standard that people have.
If you watch, he is much faster than all but a couple, but he is normally the fastest out there. Rather than just pass them and try to run away, he give them a bit of a nudge, sometimes more, letting them know not to retaliate. Then, he just flat out runs away.
There are many that seem to like the contact when passing. It draws the most attention because he's out front more often than not.
Doesn't look dirty to me or nearly as hard as forkner described it. Plenty of other riders got taken out MUCH harder in that same corner and no one is complaining about it.
The guys races like Hannah, everyone in front of him is potentially taking money out of his pocket.
He saw a top contender in front of him and took an opportunity.
Like it or not the dude is a savage.

My whole point was age obviously doesn't really matter that much but I'm sure that went over your head.
No comments on forkner aiming for hampshire the first few laps of the 250 heat race?
Osborne is doing his jobs bringing home the main event wins.
and ZO was aggressive as fuck. i'm fine with aggressive, but he keeps riding like that and it's going to come back to him.

Shiiiiit!
Ain’t nuthin’ but a G-thang, baby!
But, but, they're totally different things. One pass was for points in the main event and the other was in the first laps of a heat race....oh wait.
Zach has been pro longer than Honda has been discontinuing two strokes. Yet here he is in the little bike class working teenagers over.
That said, one side of me is proud of Zach for what he's had to overcome from his days in the GP's...another side agrees that he needs to calm it down a hair, and get to the big show as fast as he can.
So to me, it's not the same as Marty. He wasn't racing SX for years. Age doesn't matter, it's years racing in the class and I don't count ZO's time racing MX in Europe. After all, the 250MX class here is wide open for age/experience.
As far as ZO, he's an aggressive rider, that's his style. I didn't have any issue with the move he put on JS last year in Vegas for the championship. Two corners to go, championship on the line? Hell yea, you gotta make that move. Here's the deal though: If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. I don't want to hear shit from ZO when the PC boys start returning the favor.
