Posted by: TheGrinch---------------------

Hey jboomer, make sure you don't post the results without warning people first. eg subject "Phoenix Spoiler".

Just making sure you don't get any complaints.

So far the heat races have been real exciting. I hope the main is the same.

Way to go YOGI!!!!!

Posted by: n8MX---------------------

THAT was a good race! I don't think Lusk and Reed were more than 2 seconds apart the entire race. What a well-deserved win...

Posted by: nephron---------------------

yup, Twinspar. Awesome. How 'bout that?

Wonder what's up with RC?

Posted by: jboomer---------------------

Fantastic race! God, it's going to be another long week..

Posted by: osheen---------------------

I'm so proud!!! I just named my newborn son Ezra, who was born a few days ago.........Way to go Ezra!!!

Posted by: mdkuder---------------------

Hurray for RC he didn't make the podium! Seriously, Ezra deserves the win he's had a rough few years and won his heat over Reed as well!!!

Posted by: Sawblade---------------------

What happened to RC and TP? I lost the webcast right before the gate dropped. :flame:

Posted by: rickyd---------------------

Right On YOGI!!

Does anybody have the final results??

Posted by: firecracker22---------------------

125:
Stewart
Preston
Smith

250:
Lusk
Reed
Ferry
Carmichael

Posted by: TheGrinch---------------------

According to the US motorcross.com results there was only 1.11 seconds between Ezra and Chad on the finish line! It sounded like an awesome race. I would have loved to see Chad hang on to it, but better Lusk than Ricky.

I've got nothing against Ricky, but it was getting boring listening to his podium speeches "...and my Dunlop tyres (tires) were really hooking up..."

To those of you who doubted Chad's skill to run up front in the 250 class...well what do you think know?

Oh this is going to be a great season.

What a night for Kawasaki!

Posted by: Senior KX Rider---------------------

Great to see Ezra get a win

Posted by: steve125---------------------

No doubt! good for Ezra! The new kawies came out just in time. I'm guessing it's the best bike he's ever ridden, at least it must feel like it now! :thumb:

Posted by: nephron---------------------

Remember that Lusk rode a different bike at the US Open--this was his 2nd race on his full factory ride. He may have more yet. :thumb:

Posted by: Rcannon---------------------

I enjoy it when RC does lousy. I like his tantrums. I have a feeling he is similar to the old heavyweight boxing champion Larry Holmes. Extremely talented, but the public dislikes him. Lusk, McGrath, Stewart...very friendly sounding and approachable. RC...not. I think this will cost him a lot of money over the years.

I watched Stewart in the Kawasaki pits at the 2002 salt lake city sx. The kid and his dad enjoy what their doing. Constantly playing and having fun. RC dissappeared into his bus and would only appear to ride. I watched him walk out of his bus . I damn near felt sorry for him. He had this look like he did not enjoy himself.

Posted by: patpipes---------------------

One day when RC is gone and Bubba starts dominating the 250 class you watch him lost his popularity. TP is the most popular rider yet he does not even win a race!

Posted by: yz400fer69---------------------

Hello,
I was at the SX race in Phoenix and will give my race summary. In the 125's, Stewart is just amazing, but about half of the race he looked so out of control? But once he got out in the open he was fun to watch. There are not many big names to watch in the 125's. The 250's is sweet this year. It sucks for all of the privateer because it is so tough to make a main. Even if a big name guy has an off night or a bad race he will struggle to make the main event. The incident between Carmichael and Pastrana was neither fault. They were racing close for maybe 2 or 3 laps. RC just washed out in a corner ahead of Pastrana and Pastrana tried to get around him but had no were to go but up on the tuff blocks and just spun out. The main was fun to watch. Probably on of the funner races to watch in the last few years because RC always runs away with it and it's never a race. In the main RC was riding good in 2nd or 3rd place and did the same thing, just washed out all by himself. Alot of the 250 riders were struggling with a very difficult timing section and that is were alot of passing took place. But it was sweet and can't wait until next year.

Dave Burt

Posted by: BEEF706---------------------

WTG Yogi!! Lot's on his mind and on his plate now, glad to see him win again. RC is struggling a little and Reed is for real, man, it looks like a great season.

BTW check out my ABQ local boy Kevin Johnson, he is moving up quickly in the 125's! may end up being the fastest of the burrito bunch.

Posted by: zcookie49---------------------

Yeah, all though Reed came in 2nd, he is establishing himself as a legitimate contender. This is great that the other riders are "stepping it up now" , looks to be an exciting year of sx....

Posted by: HiG4s---------------------

When Bubba gets a good start he really doesn't have anyone to challenge him. His berst lap times were a full second per lap slower than his best practice laps and 2 seconds slower than the best 250s and he still won by a long way.
Last week when he had to come from behind, his best race laps were faster than all the 250s except Reed and RC.

Posted by: 2smoke---------------------

Late last year whilst pushing Reed's barrow in the bench racing stakes I made mention that I thought Ezra had paid his dues and with a totally new machine may be ready to do siome damage. Very very pleasing to get up this morning and read about his win, good stuff, and Reedy was second, so its all good.

Posted by: portish---------------------

wow! great win for yogi. it seemed like rc couldn't match reed and yogi's pace early on and tried to go beyond his ability and washed out. RC and DV are about the same pace as last year battling it out together for 4th & 5th and chad, yogi and ferry have stepped it up another level. nice work.

Posted by: jboomer---------------------

Listening to the race last night, the announcers kept commenting on how slick the track was and was becoming. I think RC was and is just a little flustered and may take a couple more races to get his act together. He's making stupid little mistakes, it'll pass. I'm super happy for Lusk though. Just like LaRocco's win last year, it couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving. But, don't count RC out. He'll be on pace very soon!!

Posted by: TheGrinch---------------------

I'm definately not counting RC out. But if he's feeling more pressure since others have stepped up the pace, then he's bound to make some mistakes as he did in the main at Phoenix.

Posted by: jboomer---------------------

I'm glad he's being pressured! Although it sure makes for a long week between races and ESPN!

Posted by: ScottYZ250---------------------

Hard work does pay off, good for Ezra...

It was so nice to see Lusk win and it would be cool to see Lusk win a championship...If it wasn't for MC Lusk may have already won a couple of championships...That would be the ultimate statement after he was displaced by honda for RC...I'd like to see a good points battle to the end in SX this year........

In RC's defense, like you said, the announcers said the track was super slick...Slick tracks aren't in favor of the super agressive riding style such as RC's...

WAY TO GO LUSK.....

Hehe you're killin me!!! RC didn't win the first few SX rounds last year, either... but he still came out with 11 wins!

MC is first on the AMA all time combined wins list with 89 (he raced '89-'02 = 14 years) and RC (at the age of 22?) already has 80 wins (he's raced '96-current = 7 years and counting). If you look at averages, MC averaged 6.4 wins a season over his career. RC is averaging 11.4! {I'm pretty sure 125 SX wins are not included in this number, which both riders raced their first 2-3 seasons...}

And MC raced 250 SX from '92-'02 = 11 years and carded 72 wins averaging 6.5 wins a season. RC has raced 250 SX from '99-current = 4 years with 26 wins averaging 6.5 wins a season, too (against MC every single race nonetheless). Not bad in my book!

.....mine either. RC always has a hard time on the west coast slick tracks. When the series moves east you'll see a different RC. The dirt is to his liking so don't get to euphoric over Reed's success. I hope the racing stays this good but I think RC will turn up the heat when he gets settled in. Reed raced in Europe and is feeling confident with his good results, a few bad races and that will change just like the outdoors last year.

I agree that RC will be up to speed very soon, but I also see no reason to downplay Reed's success.  Bottom line is it's going to be a great season whether your a fan of a certain rider or the sport in general it's great to see actual RACING rather than the bubba and RC runaway whip show

Posted by: BEEF706---------------------

I hope NOBODY would count out RC, he always seems to finish stronger than he starts, (except for this year's nationals). I do think that the other guys spent their off season stepping up a bit, and Reed has a lot of confidence from the Euro rounds, but don't sount the redhead out! (besides who would Pred have to root agaginst if he just disappeared ). I just hop the series staya this competitive all year, how cool would it be if the series was decided at the last race among four riders!!!

Posted by: whitesands26---------------------

While I do believe that Rc will be number 1 when it comes to all time win list, I don't think he will beat MC's 72 supercross main event wins...RC is without a doubt the best outdoor motocrosser ever, but it takes everything RC has to win indoors(that shows how much heart he has...ALOT) because it doesn't appear as natural to him...

While RC may have a better average than MC 6.6 to 6.4, rc would still have to win 5 more supercross championships, 46 more sx main events, and remain virtually injury free for another 5 years...I don't think it will happen....Although interestingly enough, RC seems not to really ever get injured considering jow much he has fallen........MC's streak was phenonemal...

I do think that RC is the Greatest outdoor rider ever and I think he will set a record that wil stand for a long time....We'll have to see how the rest of the season goes to see about his supercross prowess...East coast tracks are looking very good for the redhead

Posted by: Philip---------------------

I agree with ya chili, I a fan of the sport and I pay for good racing no matter who comes out on top. I am a little bias to RC because he seems to have the heart of my old heros. RC seems to charge harder and show us his real speed (like the other florida kid in 125 class) when the chips are down and he has to come from behind. Larocco seems to be the only other guy out their that gets stronger as the race goes on. Reed in the outdoors last year seemed to fade when things started going wrong. I would like to see him work on that part of his racing because I think he could be great.
Another thing to keep in mind about RC slow start is he is coming off a 24 moto win outdoor season and managed to get married all within the last few months. Thats got to be mentally and physically draining.

You seem to forget the only reason Reed had "a few bad races" and dropped back was because he dislocated his shoulder. Prior to his injury, and after he healed (last few races of the 2002 season), he gave Bubba a run for his money several times.

Everyone keeps remembering the race when Bubba purposely slowed down to let Reed pass and then toyed with him by passing him back. Reed was still injured at this time and Bubba knew it. Bubba took advantage to make himself look better than he really is. Don't get me wrong, Bubba is damn fast; but I guarantee he could not have, and would not have attempted it if Reed wasn't injured at the time.

Posted by: jboomer---------------------

I don't recall Reed ever really giving "Bubba a run for his money." I rememer him crashing in front of Bubba once when Bubba pressured him. But nothing any more spectacular than that and the one you mentioned.

Posted by: Philip---------------------

Maybe I am being a little premature in my judgement of Reed, and it will take some time to see if he's up to the week after week 20 laps conditioning of the 250 class. If he turns fast laps through the whole season a beats the current champ I'll eat my words and say I was wrong. Again maybe I am a little bias because I like good racing just like good football. It kills me to hear people complain about someone not playing fair because they bump a little or rub a little plastic. Racing is not a ballet, its 20 guys on a small track with obstacles all trying to be in the same spot, you have to expect contact and falls. Real racers will get up and give it right back to the guy who gave it to them first. Its like putting on a helmet and getting between the white lines of a football game and telling the other team you can't hit me too hard because it's not fair. If you want to cheer for a sport with no contact go watch chess.

Posted by: portish---------------------

At the MOMENT reed is the best rider in the sport, you cant argue with cold hard facts, his last few races he has dominated everybody with lightning speed combined with consistency. rc is a little off the boil as is tp and dv, yogi needs a couple more good races to prove himself and he's due for some good fortune. i doesnt matter who won last year if you aint winning at the moment you aint the best! sure things could change when the series moves east but remember reed likes the east coast just as much as rc as he showed in dominating the 125east series

Posted by: marcusgunby---------------------

I distintly remember reed beating bubba at a outdoor race and bubba trying so hard he nearly took out the mechanics.Bubba lost by about 20 seconds.

Posted by: jboomer---------------------

I remember that too, but I can't remember the circumstances surrounding it. I've got the outdoors on tape, so in the morning I'll watch them and figure out what happened there. Gives me an excuse to watch all the races again! :thumb:

Posted by: mx547---------------------

has anybody seen this yet? more fuel for the anti-rc fires.

id like to see a picture of his 'torn off in the wash out' brake line.

Posted by: TheGrinch---------------------

Ahh, sounds like RC is having to make up stories now hey. I can't wait to hear what happened to the bike if he gets beaten next weekend. Maybe he'll get a flat tyre, or his throttle cable will break, or the seat foam was to soft, or his underpants were uncomfortable????

I'm just kidding. I don't doubt it happened. It just makes the championship tighter and more interesting. Can't wait for this weekends race.

Posted by: motomike137---------------------

The part of the story that si fishy is "I was impatient with the pace". If the pace was so slow why did he crash? RC is about to be truly tested. He is going to have to battle with CR. And I'm willing to bet CR doesn't hurt himself in any photo shoots mid-season!

Posted by: BEEF706---------------------

Love the tight racing, and I am really impressed with being able to rid that fast with no front break. I really hope it's this close all year. I agree with Philip, I think my admiration for RC is that he's old school I really like determination. With CR I find myself in a situation like Pred with RC, I admire his skill but there is just something about him that rubs me the wrong way.

Posted by: motomike137---------------------

Here is the deal, judge all these guys by their actions on the racetrack. Do not pay any attention to their personality or ability to speak on the podium. I'm interested in racing not speaches! The last thing I want to see is Bubba moonwalking after a win and I don't care how funny Travis Preston is. The best riders speak to us through their actions on the racetrack. So far CR is doing most of the talking!

Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

well, I heard the last race Ricky lost was because he had no back wheel, only one front fork leg, and had to run the throttle by holding the cable in his teeth! And since he was running less weight due to the missing parts, he managed to cut his lap times by ten seconds!

He's amazing, ain't he.

Posted by: BEEF706---------------------

That Pred, he's such an RC fan. (I heard it was RC's leprachaun dust that made him fast)

...I just want to add that RC is faster than the majority of the field without brakes.  Maybe the AMA should consider eliminating his brakes for the upcoming nationals.

 Hell, if that doesn't work, they could bring the chopping block out and Hannah could be forced to amputate a limb or two to make it fair.

Racing is NOT LIKE FOOTBALL.....Racing is not a contact sport...Contact happens but your protective gear is to protect you from hard falls to the ground, NOT to butt heads with your competitors....You're trying to compare TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPORTS!!
Racing is about timing, finesse, endurance, strength, speed.....NOT TO SEE IF YOU CAN TAKE ANOTHER GUY OUT.....How much talent does it take to hold it wide open and take some guy out....It takes more talent to ride under control and overtake another rider using skill and a well thought out plan WITHOUT TAKING SOMEONE OUT. I have no problem with a good block pass, but there's no reason to deliberately bump someone to the point to where they may fall...Supercross is already a dangerous sport and we don't need brainless individuals racing on SX thinking it's cool or fun to take someone out....Yes. close action is fun to watch, but it's not cool when you have some guy crossing over into your line over a big triple or pulling other dangerous manuvers...
I watch motocross and supercross because I enjoy seeing talented riders racing each other while navigating the obstacles...What fun is it when two guys start to get into a heated battle and then the other is taken out and then you have NO MORE CLOSE RACING!!

By the way.....RC didn't take Pastrana out
