That right there is why I can't stand Bubba fans

I don't think James would race RD like that but If he does attempt a shitty move on RD I hope he has a spectacular season ending crash and finds himself on the couch watching Ryan walk away with the championship and putting on a killer performance at the MXON

I was thinking the exact same thing and started typing a reply saying because of this dude I hoped James had a seson ending crash but then I realized I don't really want that to happen so I just didn't reply.

I guess the real pain for the bubba fans that are like this guy is that we all knew James wouldn't be able to hold it together for a whole season ahead of Dungey. James is a great rider but he isn't as good as Dungey or Poto .

RD wont punt anyone and all James has to do is get out front early and RD will ride around behind him the remainder of the race.

meyermetal, on 08 June 2012 - 07:56 AM, said:

And thats the reason Im not a huge RD fan... he rides like he doesnt care about the championship. He refuses to make passes and is content riding around in 2nd. I like a rider to have a little desire to get up front by any means necessary.

I know I will hear all the bs lines... gotta be in it to win it, RD is playing it smart ... blah blah blah. Go earn your championship by beating the best straight up, not riding around with your fingers crosse praying that the guy that is spanking you will crash. I dont agree with the * deal... but go out there and win a moto to prove to the fans (me) that you are faster. Which he has failed to do so far in the season.

End Rant

He's better than Poto... he's on the sidelines. James will beat him in the championship. Thats what I hear any time any of the good riders go down and their fav rider is now in the spotlight.

James will finish higher in points than Poto this year in MX. Next SX season when they both line up James will get spanked, again. And FWIW I picked Dungey to win the outdoors this year prior to RV's injury.

The top 5 guys have went out with an injury this year, they all get injured.

I'm all for good hard racing but taking a guy out...which has been done plenty of times...is BS

If you have to "punt" a guy to make the pass stick you are just not as fast as the other guy. Nothing wrong with a good block pass in my eyes but you don't hit a guy hard unless he deserves it. Like when Tomac hit Wilson or when Reed took James and himself out a couple of years ago. Those were both retaliation moves and I see those as justified but taking a guy out just because he's in front of you is a P U S S Y move

Did you flip a coin to decide that?

meyermetal, on 08 June 2012 - 08:18 AM, said:

Right... but that doesnt make those right either. You can hit someone along with lots of other things to get your point across without taking them out. It does nothing but make the racing lame, and makes me feel like Im watching a pee wee baseball game when the coaches son strikes out and throws the bat and helmet in a hissy fit, then goes and cries at the end of the bench. I dont want to see any of these riders take each other out, no matter the situation. They are professionals and need to act as such. That is no different than Bogle slapping Malcolm in the back of the head or Malcolm taking him out... its just unprofessional and they should be fined everytime they do something intentional to harm another rider. Thats why RD stays injury free... he is drama free because he takes no risks, and no one sees him as a threat. (by threat I mean someone who will take someone out, not in the championship).

Just my opinion.

I don't like take out moves but in the case of Tomac and Wilson I understand why Tomac put the hard block pass on him after getting shoved off the track twice


This is great racing




This is BS racing but I understand the takeout attempt

Yeah, poto is sick. Fastest guy alive. Like really, the way he had to battle with millsaps for the title was unreal. Millsaps is probably the second fastest guy ever.

Which title are you talking about?

kawi75, on 08 June 2012 - 08:56 AM, said:

You finally got something right  

If he's having trouble squeezing, he's going to have trouble holding on in general.

The smart thing to do is ride at a pace he can safely sustain, stay off the ground and collect the points.

However, I think we all know that's not really James' style. He'll try and ride as fast as possible no doubt and give us all something to talk about afterwards.

If he's not 100% I'd say he'll not keep up with Dungey.

BDubb106, on 08 June 2012 - 08:10 AM, said:

RD will do what he feels is necessary to win if need be, and the opportunity presents itself.



... and this sums up what  those not wearing their, "Bubba Glasses"  while watching the races realize:

I agree.

that stuff between those two was epic, and personal.    I miss it so much!
You forgot the clip in Vegas  (2007 I think), when James was just trying to finish in the top 10 to win the SX title.  James got out front and away from the danger, then let the fast guys pass him up if they wanted to.   Reed stalked him back in about 8th and waited for the opportunity to take James out.  He did intentionally run him off the track and James was able to hold it together for the win.    That was the ultimate bitch move.

No fan of stewart would want him to intentionally take out anyone.  No fan of the sport wants to see anyone intentionally taken out.     Race hard, race tough  , even be ruff if you have to , but don't ride like a punk.

that being said, James and Dungey don't have that type of history where they would do that to each other.

just wondering why you feel the need to quote every post I make in the pro forum... when honestly I could care less what you think about what I say or what glasses I wear. I was making a legitimate argument... if you dont like it, well go pound salt for all I care. Youve givin me one highly questionable pass that RD made that I would not exactly consider a take out. It was a block pass... maybe youve heard that term before or maybe you just missed the part at the end where I stated that was just my opinion. Sorry for ragging on your boy. Quit swinging for a sec and it wont bother you so much.

Ill entertain myself anyways. You missed my point. I dont want to see anyone take anyone else out, IDC who they are. That wasnt a punt/ take out! That was just a block pass. RV could have backed off... and let him by but RV probably assumed RD wouldnt push that far in. RD is a "clean" racer, plain and simple... if you cant see that you need more than those "Bubba glasses" you refer to! Anyone that thinks RD will let the outcome of a race rest on a "dirty" pass is a fool. Theres a reason he rides around behind slower riders... and Ill guarantee that it is not so he can make a dirty pass. He's searching for that clean passing lane.

Again... JUST MY OPINION.

  so do you think that dungey stuffed him?  cause you know dungey didn't even touch his bik in anyway.  that was 100% rv's fault for letting it happen.  should we show the last turn were he gave up the overall to rv and he could have easily made contact (in a racing and ok way)  to keep it.  he isn't agressive enough and will never be!

I don't quote all your posts. You give yourself too much credit. Wouldn't know you if I backed over you. I know a dumb post when I see it and respond. Your excuses seem endless and your assumptions foolish.

I suggest if you don't like my responses to put me on your ignore list, or write better posts that don't suck.
