Herlings beats Roczen in the sand again.
Wow, Vicki Golden wins?
Didn't see even one minute of X-Games this year..............oh well.
Way to go Teddy Maier
Wonder if Honda will steal Cianciarulo from Kawasaki like they did Canard and Bogle on their last years as amatuers, or even Tomac for that matter or if they'll bring him into the Pro Circuit fold before Geico Honda gets him.
Good to see Oldenburg and Biseglia from North Texas up running with the big dogs.

Don't understand how that KTM 350 works so good in Euro land and it is at such a disadvantage here.

Report

Lots of Pastrana hype at the X Games as usual.....Love the kid to death, but is it really a suprise he hurt himself and blew other commitments he had??? Every year, they try to sell the Travis dramarama to the at home viewer and make the entire weekend about TP199....Cool to jump back in the car with the busted foot, but stupid just the same..... Enduro Cross is pretty cool to watch if you like watchind dudes fall in bolders ....That Teddy guy was cutting the track every lap and going around obstacles.. Cool to see some old MX guys out there....Brown, Hughes

About the 350 doing well in Euro. I read somewhere that they don't have the production rule over there so the 350's they ride are actually bored out to 420. Don't know if this is true, but it makes me wonder.

Report

@Kilroy Osborne is out for possibly the rest of the season, from injury.
Can't remember what happened, but go to VitalMX and you can find out on there.

Report

Osborne.crashed at Foxhills national.I think he hurt his shoulder.

Report

Even with the production rule as long as the bike is not over 450cc I think a bored and stroked 350 would be legal.I watched AC222 pull a holeshot in the sand yesterday.

Report

@jairtime suks, For one thing the bike Caroli is riding ISNT a 350, it is bored to be a 420, most guys who follow the GP's regular know this. It is legal to do in the GP's as long as it stays below 450 cc's. But it isnt allowed under AMA rules. So Caroli has alot more power in his bike that Shorty's 350. Dont forget Short BEAT Caroli at the Des Nations when Short was on the 450 and Caroli was on that KTM.

And BILLC, I DO NOT think RV or Dungey or Reed would be where they are on the 350, not under AMA rules. Maybe on Carolis so-called 350 that is bored, but not on Shorts.

Report

@Rick Melon, I agree, I love to watch Travis, my son has his Notro Circus DVD's and all. Bit the promoters act as if Pastrana is the only guy to compete all weekend. I watched alot of the X-Games this weekend, some was lame and some was good, but the total outrages push for all things Travis was getting out of hand. And he didnt really accomplish alot, so it made the push look really dumb. I know Travis works hard every year to shine during X-Games and I surely dont blame him, but the promoters need to realize he isnt the only guy who does X-games.

Report

@BILLC, I guess what I am saying is that you criticize Short on here alot, with little backhanded comments to Shoret as the reaon why the 350 isnt succesful, like its all Shorts fault because he isnt good and Cairoli is this great rider. When Short BEAT Cairoli at the Des Nations in one moto, and the moto that Caroli beat Short in is when Short was knocked down. So Short seems faster right. When they raced "straight up" as guys love to call it, Short beat Cairoli. So why is it the rider when the 350 isnt up to snuff??

Report

@bd200,, You think Short and AC are in the same league ??? Dude, your high... Let me clue you in on another fact,, Short wanted to ride the 350 because he THOUGHT he would not get as tired on it like he did the 450 last year.

Report

In AMA pro mx you can bore the 350 KTM up to 450cc and be legal.You can bore but you cannot stroke the motor.If you don't believe me then go to AMA pro and look it up dumb a$$es.It the production rule not STOCK class.

Only managed to see the Womens Enduro X. Oh the carnage! There had to be broken bones but those girls just kept getting back up. Displayed incredible mental toughness. Hats off ladies.

Report

They ONLY raced 1 moto together at the MXD bd200 so I don't know what you are talking about. Also Caroli's bike has been ripped down in teck and they said it was a 350. So who do ya believe?? I don't know. Also how is it bad mouthing Short when what i said is true?? Short did not win on a 450 and now there are even more fast guys there so he has been pushed back a few more spots. I am not saying the 350 is as fast or anything but some on here blaim the bike 100% and I don't thats all. In the end the rider has the most to do with it, If not tell me how Roczen did so well at the MXD on a 250 then?? He started in the top 5 on a 250, PASSED a few 450 guys and finished 2nd on a 250 but your telling me a 350 can't get the job done... I just don't see that point. Also Short has tested BOTH the 350 and 450 and said the 350 is better for him soooooooooooo

Report

@bd200,, you get hammered EVERY time you post on here... Don't you get sick of that after awhile ??

I'm guessing he won't respond..

Report

RV ran away from the entire WORLD on a 250 at Bud's, so displacement does not guarantee a win. Check the weekly lap times, Baggett (on his 250) could easily run in the top 5 against the 450's at most tracks. Shorty may look a little slow, but he is up against some serious talent.

Report

Short is faster then AC. It has been proven.

Report

@BIILC, I'm not saying the 350 is junk, and I'm not saying Short is a better rider than AC, just saying he is ALOT better than you make him out to be. He beat AC in the Des Nations, period. Short is a good rider. I am just not sold on the 350 when racing against 450's. I t just gives away too much horsepower. AC's bike is the 350 cases, but I have read several times that it is ported and stroked to a 420, legal in the GP's, its all I can say, whether its true or not, neither of us know. And RV beat everyone on his 250 once too, we know. Do you think he could run with Dungey and Reed right now on a 250?? NO WAT, he couldnt. And I dont see him beating Dungey if he is running an bike with over 8 less horsepower than he is running now.

How come you buy the story when guys say the Yamaha 450 is junk as to why Stewie didnt win the supercros title?? You said yourself in your last post "The rider has the most to do with it"

BD200 I never said The bike is why JS lost, All I ever say is there is a VERY long list of people that say the 450YZ is no good. I never rode one so I don't know. All I have to go by is what i have heard and even the Mags don't have a whole lot good to say about it.

Report

MXMOFO was quoting bd200 when he said that.

Report

And yes bd200 it is the rider, BUT some guys can't mesh with some bikes, Its just the way it is. Hell even the KING MC rode a 3 year old bike because he did not like the "NEW" Honda's at the time. Guys like K-Dub can tell the Dif between a AL skid plate and a Carbin one!! Thats CRAZY!!!

Report

Bill C,I guess MOFO's right I can't read.I see what your saying now!

Report

MC rode a '92 or 93 Honda frame under his new bike because he hated the aluminum frame when Honda came out with them. They were very harsh, my neighbor had one. It was very stiff. Its one of the reasons I like my KTM so much, it is a steel frame and very flexes great. Not stiff at all.

I think Stewie kicked butt on the Yamaha, he hauled as@ on it, and he crashes on about every bike he races, so its hard to tell by that.

Yes the pro's can pick out very little suspension details too. I will say this, I put a hard mount skid plate on the bottom of my KTM and could tell the difference in the way the bike handled and everything, it was unreal the difference. So I got rid of it and got a rubber mount one. It really did change alot the way the bike handled.

Report

@bd200,,, what I think you dont seem to understand is that there are WAY more riders out there that dont like the Yam besides JS.. My friend has about 7k in his Yam, and just quit riding two or three weeks ago because he went out and got a 2012 Kaw,,, and loves it. I heard a rumor that Kyle Regal did not like it,, probably why I seen him at Millville on Sunday parctice on a Suz 450.. Like I said before,, all you have to do is go to a couple of local races and ask riders what they think of them... Not saying this is why JS had a horrible SX season,, but the bike sure didnt help..

Report

You said there are way more riders that DONT like the Yamaha besides JS?? I dont ever remember Stewie saying anything bad about his Yamaha. NEVER heard him say anything. I am not saying the Yamaha is a great bike, I'm just not going to buy the excuses of the Stewtards as to why Stewie didnt win the supercross title. I just think that the other 3 had a better season and are as fast or faster on certain tracks. The way he rode several tracks the bike seemed to be working great. He didnt have a horrible season, he had the 2nd most wins. He just has alot more tough competition than he has since RC retired. Instead of one or two fast guys who can win, we now have 4..

Report

When Andrew Short was on a 450 Honda in 2010, he was a podium guy almost every week, now that he's on that KTM 350 he's barely a top ten guy. Granted there is much stiffer competition this year, but you would think that he would still be a top 5 rider. It has to have something to do with that 350.

MXMOFO for one thing, I NEVER post under a different name, never. If I wanted to call you something I would. You arent important enough for me to worry about. Second, I didnt call you names first, you responded on a post and said I was high(insult right there). And themn posted again some dribble about me "getting hammered" everytime I post or some dumb crap like that, more insults. So before you come up with any more lies and garbage, go back and catch up yourself, your memory isnt very good. And the only crap I catch is usually from you and your juvenile insults, At least myself and BILLC can insult and back up our claims with some kind of fact or opinion, and we take it all in jest. You do nothing but insult, period. And I have a feeling your one of those guys that if you were toe to toe, you wouldnt utter and single insult. And again, I NEVER post under any name but this one, ever.

@qwerty, you are 100% right, losers like mxmofo9what a gay nickname) thinks he is right no matter what. He is just a clown. He just posted to attack people, and never post anything constructive at all, just insults. I called him just like I see him.
