I just wanted to see who everyone thought is the best lites(i hate that name):banghead: rider. I want to hear who AND WHY. Not just "oh I like Josh Grant because I rode with him at a local track once" or something stupid like that! Give reasons why.

I belive ryan villopoto. look at the stats and i believe he has a faster lap time the RC at mxdn.

Ryan Dungey and Trey canard because of their perfect technique and good form...my parents say that i am smooth like them, but lack the speed.

i think you would have to give it to RV right now. But by the end of this year that thought may change. Trey Carnard looks impressive right now but I havent seen him come through the pack yet like some of the others have.

yeah i know what your saying because RV is so freaking fast, but right now he's not riding the best. I really cant wait to see the East/West shootout, I love watching that race every year because you finally get to see all of them together. Im not so sure RV is going to have the same year he did last year. Who knows his wrists might still be bothering him when it comes time for the outdoors and if thats the case who knows who will win. Dungey, Canard, Lawrence(hate even thinking of him doing well), Stroupe, Metcalfe. I hope its a little more interesting this coming year with outdoors. Correct me if I'm wrong but the green bikes won every moto last year except the lone win by Josh Grant at High Point in the first moto.

A racer is only as good as his last race.
I would like to see all of the current crop of lites riders do the whole outdoor series and see where the chips fall.
Sx is fairly specialized. Previous experience and the team you are on are big factors.
Outdoors, longer motos in a double format are a better test of a rider in my opinion.

trey canard is the best this year because he lead all of the laps exepted for 1 this year. RV is still fast this year but with trey canard doing so good it got into his head.

Right now I would have to say RV.... but last year at red bud I saw canard outdoors and knew right then that Josh grants ride was in jepordy.
Canard is coming on and outdoors will tell the tale. Just my .2.
Wiemer or weimer the west lites honda guy is no pooch either.
I think there is a good chance they will move Dungy up next year

whoever said ryan dungey has good technique should download every lites west torrent available from 08, he has atleast 27 errors per race (exag) , jason lawrence is by far my favorite, he's pretty chill to hang with in the pits at englishtown and atco too. His riding style is just so different and i've grown onto it, I like it alot. He's like a fast squid lol. I'm starting to like treynard too, he seems super chill and humble on the podium. He seems to have the drive to keep going/training and racing for his father.

Did you even read the originial post and what the question was. He specifically said to give reasins why whichever rider you chose was the best, and not just that "i chilled with them onoce anad the werer pretty cool.":banghead:

Post up some video so we can see.

I like ryan dungey's riding style but only when he is on his A-game. Some nights it just seems like hes losing it
Posted 09 March 2008 - 06:22 PM
If you base it on past history I'd have to say RV. Look at what he has done the past two years and the Pro Circuit team is the best. Townley DNF'd the first round and still won the East last year so RV still has a chance. But he has to get on the gas or TC will run off and hide with the East title. :ride:

rv by far. then i'd have to say dungey. he is really smooth but pushes himself too much sometimes.

Right now Canard is flying and to me its amazing that these young kids that were amatures less than a year ago can go out ther and kick a$$ the way they do.
However RV is in my opinion the best lights rider out there. He is off to a bad start but he is still faster than Canard. i think his problem is that everybody expected him to come out this year and clean house and all the hype has created a ton of pressure on him and I think that he feels that he has "live up" to the hype. no matter how good he is he is still really a kid and that must be alot of pressure for such a young kid to have to deal with.
I think that in the end it will make him better and someday he is going to be up there with RC someday.:thumbsup:
