Would love to see Tyla on a 450 next year. Anyone know what his plans are?

Good to see the scottish guy that somehow pulled off riding for a Canadian Moto Des Nations team has the red plate. Tyla was just going to 4-5 his way to a title with absolute consistency eh? Maybe 2-3 his way? With the same consistency? Naw some kid that likes to wear stockings and bra's for fun has more world, I'm mean National consistency. States are countries yankees

Does anyone forget that there is a rider who won 3 of the last 4 races including 4 straight moto wins in the same class as deano and stlyer. I think they should worry about that guy.

That song made me stop watching this movie. All I LIKE TO DO IS WATCH MOTOCROSS. sorry about the yellin, if you want to be a punk and sing about it, if you do not want to be apart of the collective, then go be a hermit, and sing to them. They like classical though, ask weege.

He should really move up to the 450. Good rider but it really pisses me off when he keeps saying that in USA it's harder, the track, the heat etc, just to find excuses in my opinion, since he has been in USA since 2009 and actually he has won nothing, compared to Pourcel who was coming back from a serious injury. As a matter of fact he won that 2008 title because Cairoli was injured, I still remember when Cairoli was charging from behind, always, because the KTM's were and are stronger at the starts, he used to pass him with ease. Good rider anyway, let's see if he can make it this year, but I don't think so.

Haha! That song sucked bawz! Some of you have terrible taste in music.

I only expect Tyla to get stronger from here on out.

@Brian - Well at least the music wasn't rap. The music itself was pretty good and had an ago edge that I dig. It was cool to hear the bikes too instead of some ghetto wannabe rap bs that some 10 year old wigger did on his moms computer with some free program he downloaded. At least there were actual musicians playing the instruments. And by your comment about taste in music, I take it that your opinion is the defining standard as to what music sucks? Not very likely.

@Manes, I am pretty sure a guy that won a world championship is a better gauge of which series is tougher than you are. Pourcel is a badass for sure and I was one of the only people I know of that was bummed to see him leave the states. I loved watching that guy ride.

Bagget is on a role for sure, but Wilson and Rattray are also hanging pretty tough.

Gonna be a blast to watch either way!

Why do MX Videos have to use the WORST screaming music out there?... Isn't Racer X from Morgantown, VA? Can't we get some groovin' moto music like "Widespread Panic" or something like that in these things?

you know, this guy's (rattray) a real tool! what the hell he is still doing in the lites class, man! i guess dude is just another "cherry-picker" ala frenchy pourcel...dude's gotta move on already. but, i'm sure rattray sure knows that he is gonna get his sorry ass handed to him! the ama really should not allow any foreigners who were "world champions" (whatever...) to race the lites, period! supposedly these "champs" have already a lot of experience. the lites is a "stepping stone" class and meant for rookies, remember? oh well, that shows these euros and s. africans, and aussies, and whatever they come from suck! on the other hand, it really shows that they know their "world" champion titles mean shit here in the usa. after all, they all come here to race the "best" riders in mx. and, by that i mean our "american" riders. go usa riders, goddamnit!!!

So when Ken Roczen wins the world championship this year and comes to the US in 2012, he would not be allowed to ride the 250 class, even at the ripe old age of 17 years old? What a joke! What if an American were to win the 250 world championship, would it be okay for him to ride the 250 in the US because he is not a "foreigner"? Those foreigners Reed, Langston, Townley etc. yeah they really suck!
You just don't like to see Americans get beat.

@manes, I know you hate it, but since it is coming from a rider who has raced both, maybe its the truth. Have you ever thought of that?? And you said he has won nothing compared to Pourcel?? What has Pourcel won?? A few Regional titles in supercross?? those dont even count as titles. Pourcel didnt win any titles here either, he has had more success that Ratray, but no titles either. So maybe it is harder to win in the States..

@freeloader, you sound like a fool. Its different when a rider comes over and races his first or second year in the 250 class, but Rattray is making it into a career. He is going to turn 26 in August, not 17 like Herlings or Roczen. THAT is what alot of people complain about. Rattray is older tha 3/4ths of the 450 riders and has more pro racing expierience. If you dont understand that, your a waste of time. It has NOTHING to do with were they are born. Quit making it an issue of being foreign, its not the problem.

@Tbone 102, Racer X is in West Virginia, not Virginia, and I hate Widespread Panic, the most over rated band ever. See, you arent going to please everyone with the music in the video, just enjoy the moto.

Which lense and camera were you using in this video?

There is some vignetting, or maybe you made the effect...

Okay BD200, I absolutely understand the age complaint thing. I was just being a little sarcastic to what I thought was a bit of an over the top comment. I know it is quite a while ago but John Dowd was competing and winning races in 125 class when he was 33 years old. Everybody seems to think he is good guy, and deservedly so. Unless the rules prohibit a rider from riding a class, like the 23 year old rule for the 250 class in the GP'S, I think you should ride in whatever class you can get a supported ride in.
Also BD, I can make a comment without putting somebody else down.
