Toronto Supercross Round 12 and Weekly Updates

[Bogle rant] I'd have to say the collision in the heat race was Bogle's fault. He's got to know that the race line over the finish jump drifts right, he'd taken it so many times before. Then for him to raise his arms and be pissed, slightly uncalled for I'd say. [/Bogle rant]

Just his cocky attitude when he gets interviewed and all his cheap moves, cant stand that jlaw mentality,

i dont think thats being cocky. dude is pumped. and then it seems like they made him be a robot like the rest of the riders. and you must be talking about his move on rife? yea, bad deal. but dont thiink it was intentional. i dont get why rife slowed up so quickly right there.
durham is no jlaw. altho, he did manage to wreck a rental car already this year. :confused:
 
Rife bike broke loose into Durham. His handlebars were ahead, hell his elbows were. Rife looked back, even turned up and gave him the line. Messed up and slid down into Durham powering out of the corner.

I don't think he's cocky. He has a sense of humor. He's always been like that, even when we were kids. Used to be the funny guy at pymatunings 3 day event. (yep he raced there frequently)

What the hell are people seeing on tv that I'm not.
Barcia made a mistake and slid into KR and it happened to help him out.
 
What blows my mind is Carl being 8 seconds off the fastest time.

Pretty sure most of us mere mortal are double that amount off Carl's pace & could not survive a lap on a SX tracks.

250's were exciting & hope all can get out of bed this morning as a lot were on the ground.

450's.....as expected.....great run for KW!
 
Racing is racing, but for the love of God can someone tell Barcia to shave his porn stach! That thing is a sad looking attempt at facial hair.

yea 8 seconds on a sub 50 second track is alot.
i think this is an example of what reed was talking about. and maybe some of what weimer was complaining about. but either way, if your that good you should be able to find your way around. dont see RV complaining. and he seems to find the #1 spot just fine.

I hope he does ride the outdoor MX season this year just to see how fast he can go vs the current crop of riders that are tops in the sport (Villopoto and Dungey). I feel that if he rides all year, he may come back better next year in SX as he won't have all that time off just riding for fun. No matter how hard he trains, it's not the same as when you aren't racing against the best where you really see where you need work.

I could not agree more. Bubba just does not have the speed to run for 35 minutes on a rough outdoor track with a few of the top front runners now. I think he would crash his brains out trying to keep up with RV and RD. Way too many distractions in his life these days.

Think there would be lots of rolling going on. Lol
 
Georgie i you are not missing anything... Durham just seems to not be a "polished" speaker. Not thinking he is really trying to be polished either. I like seeing him do well. He's no Hepler, but not everyone mr. Apple pie.

I have more issues with the commentary then anything. I love how Ralph starts the show with a comment of how "we brought Slash here." sorry Ralph you did nothing but show up... then he was inside the riders heads giving riding pointers at one moment. I also got the vibe that Chad Reed didn't really like him much. Lol
 
After the last two races of having Chad in the booth I wish they would boot Ralph and just have Fro, Ricky and Chad ! I love how Chad just says whats on his mind !
 
That crash looked really bad.....It looked like one of the bikes came down on Bogle. Lucky no one was hurt in that one.
 
Personally I think Bogle was at fault, the main line went left to right and his decision to jump on the outside was a little gutsy.

Agreed. Bogle knew he was coming over which is why you can see he even kicked his rear out toward him a little. He needs a little time to smarten up. Typical phase for the new young guns.

I'm with you on Bogle . I was impressed that he came into the pro ranks doing so well but after the head slap of Malcom and his antics at Toronto I think he may need a little attitude adjustment . Hopefully Larroco will reign him in before this gets out of hand .
 
I think Bogle needs to get his emotions in check while riding so he doesn't look so stupid on TV in front of the audience that is basically paying for his ride. Sponsors want good thoughts of the riders that they support and Bogle isn't doing that with his actions.

On the other hand, he is just a kid (16 - 18 years old, not sure exactly) who is used to winning everything and now has to fight for decent results. He obviously has talent and can contend on a motorcycle, but his tantrums are taking away from his reputation already. It will take years of no issues to get this fixed already and someone needs to straighten him out ASAP.
 
pitracer, if your reading this, whats the deal with the home page link showing up like it does? with all the weird text. even when you click on it from the home page it shows up differently than if you click on it from the forum list.
