Hanson's problem drug withdrawal,lol
Hansen has an illness.... HA!! He's been free riding in the hills with twitch all week. He's a punk.
Sure are a lot guys "hoping" to be ready for the Eastern 250 rounds.
So his Byrne going to need an additional 4 weeks for the rest of his life?
I heard Stroupe has called it a day and is working at his families business. Damn shame he never kept it together long enough to show what he is capable of. Them Carolina boys are having a tough time, hopefully Les can do us proud!

Hansen is suffering from an illness called "F*CKTARDISM"..... Saw a post from him on FB I believe it was where he stated " racing dirtbikes is gay "...
Barcias' nuts back to original size?
Is Yoshi fitting an electric starter to Stewies suzuki? How long before he cant even fire that thing up? For all the crap he got last year for not racing, he has nothing to prove racing right now. Go get surgery.
Stewie will you please win 1 so all the haters-non riders will SHUT-UP...Go JS7......
JS can only win practice or a heat race. He will not make the box all year. I give him credit / respect for trying, but this isn't 2009. I give him credit for just starting his bike, cause I have had two acl fixed and there is no way I could of started my 450 a week out, little yet think I could race some of the best riders in the world. if you think he can win in his condition, then your a JS nut chugger. Not a hater, just being realistic. Just add his name to the injury report, its only a matter of time.
I think I just read a tweet on this site where Hansen is hanging out at some bar signing autographs. Who is showing up for that?
I'm not a Stewart hater, though I'm not a fan either and I'm getting real tired of all the drama with him, but logging fast laps in practice and winning mains are two entirely different things. No way he wins with that torn ACL, and even when that heals I'm not sure he'll be able to win. He needs to call it quits before he really hurts himself because those crashes will eventually catch up to him.
@texag - Believe it or not Hansen actually has a fan base. Can't possibly imagine why, though. I seriously think that guy has every bad quality you can find in a rider; lazy, bad attitude, anger management, arrogant, destructive lifestyle, dirty, and likes to play hooky. Unlike some people, though, I'm glad he's out there. The more the merrier, plus the sport needs villains.
I get a mild concussion every time I stand up quickly. I don't think I'd call that an injury. Well, maybe it is for you. For me, it's just another day in old-geezer land.
stroupe is waiting tables at his moms restaurant. i think stewart could podium and long shot get a win. every person is different when it come to acl's.........some cant even stand and then some can function pretty well. i tore mine in '92 and never had it fixed, it does ok, had to have it scoped a couple times over the years though. danna wiggins was a corner for the pats about 10yrs ago.....pro bowl player.... he was born without ACL'S in either knee.......... amazing!
did some research...........the pats corner was jimmy hitchcock.
What!?! Austin Stroupe is waiting tables!?! I thought he would be performing brain surgery, or designing the next space shuttle with Weege and Ping, or training monkeys. You know, something like that.
Actually, Josh Hansens status is very certain. He's a complete waste of time and valuable sponsorship money. Not sure why he even shows up.
Ok WRECKED you stated that you are not a Stewart hater,so you must not RIDE,truth be told,you probably could'nt even start a bike,and how old are you,did your DADDY tell you what a NUT CHUGGER is? I googled it and it had your name and picture attached to it,get a life you RED NECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go JS7.
And, one other thing, WRECKED, an ACL is in your knee,not your head.
