    I HEARD STEWART HAS BEEN TAPPING ELLIE AND THATS WHY CHADS GOT IT OUT FOR HIM

  • TeamGreen75 Says:

    That’s pretty ignorant seeing as to how 4-strokes make more power off of 0sygen (O2) than lead based gasoline, but also that they actually toned down some mods and use super gripper seats because all the top guys bikes are so fast they are literally coming off the back of the bike while racing. So anymomous please do some research before looking like a fool again. Go Stewart by the way!

  • gathor Says:

    finally thor is doing cool stuff again i just love that reed gear

  • candino1 Says:

    Carmichael spanked Bubba way too many times to ever even remotely put him in the same category as the goat!!

  • Anonymous Says:

    I saw that fox gear earlier, it is fantastically horrible. Sorry!

    That Thor stuff looks legit!

    I think its pretty weak that Stewart didnt show up. but am excited to see the races.

  • anonymous Says:

    You people are high if you think Reed is going to be champ. Just face reallity, we all know who it will be (Stewart)

  • Yamaha 4 Life Says:

    Chad Reed doesn’t deserve to win, and he’s not fast enough to win. During his press conference all he does is talk Sh*t about Stewart. He keeps making excuses and come raceday, Stewart is gonna show him what keepin’ it pinned looks like.

  • russ322 Says:

    u gize sound ridiculous..!!!
    first off, REED, yea he’s a great rider 2nd best in the world..!
    he seems to have control cause he dusnt hang it out like Stewart..

    his feet weren’t even wet yet, rookie n sophmore seasons n still

  • Fireman sam Says:

    yo u peeps r all fools!!bubba is the most arrogant racer i have ever met i travelled all the way from the UK to Glen Helen and wanted to meet james only to see him in the autograph signing session and he did not say a word to me!! Even when i tried to talk to him!!! What a nice guy!NOT!

    But when i met Chad at the nations in england he was so cool and i have the upmost respect for that guy because he IS down to earth! and has time 4 every1!!

    Plus he does not ride like a GOON!!!!

    Peace out Haters!!!!!!!!

  • Tom Says:

    Wow I dont care who wins or places but learn how to use the English language correctly you moron….

  • dragginpeg Says:

    why no pictures of James?

  • mark Says:

    You guys are all funny. They all ride awesome. Stewart is a little faster so I think he deserves it. Besides he’s an American racer. If they were the exact same speed we’d have to go for the American dont you think?

  • mark Says:

    You guys are all so funny. They all ride awesome. But Stewart is a little faster so I think he deserves it. Besides if they were the exact same speed we should root for the American. Go Stewart.

  • Jake Says:

    Hmmm if I recall stewart is the only person to wreck and still beat carmicheal in a race and he has done that a couple times… stewart is faster then carmicheal hands down and thats why carmicheal dipped out… cause there was competition haha

  • Anonymous Says:

    CAPITAL LETTERS!!! CAPITAL LETTERS!!! REED SUX! STEWART SUX! U ALL SUCK!!!

    But seriously, shouldn’t the lites champs have black #1s?

  • Monster#9 Says:

    tool that gear is f***ing sweet!!!!!!!

  • BW Says:

    with Reed being 6 points back, what place would Stewart need to finish, assuming Reed gets first, for Reed to win the championship?

  • Anonymous Says:

    no to bad it will be Reed but it will be a close race

  • twayne Says:

    u damn right stewart aint got sh*t on charmicheal

  • Anonymous Says:

    Stewart would need to come in third in order for reed to win

  • Anonymous Says:

    looks like the 2010 thor gear is going to be showed off this weekend, Villipoto and Reed wore a version of it last week in salt lake Looks Bad Ass!

  • Anonymous Says:

    Fox’s new gear sucks

  • Josh Says:

    Cuz Stewart was too chicken to show at the press conference.

  • ryan Says:

    actually, both the fox and thor gear look like legitimate race gear…

  • Analog Works Yamaha Says:

    does any one know what channel the Monster Energy BBR MMSX is on or what time? Is J-Law still racin in it?

  • Anonymous Says:

    Are you deaf? Just wondering. You obviously don’t understand english very well if you think he was talking shit on Stewart.

  • Collier118 Says:

    Its gonna take a lot for Reed to pull this championship out…but if any rider out there can do it, I got to believe it is the aussie.

  • Sellers Says:

    It would be epic karma if stewart’s engine blows and Reed wins the chip

  • kosht Says:

    wow, thats a slap in the face to ricky. ricky time and time again spanked his ass outdoors heads up. always have and always will. not to mention how many times he smoked him in supercross either.

  • Anonymous Says:

    I very like “Star Short” but “Superstar Villopoto” is a better choice than him for the “Megastar Stewart” replacement for this conference press, especially at Las Vegas, better choice for the interview and for the pictures!

  • WLS Says:

    Guys - I just don’t know what happened to the good ole days of rubbin is racing. Ricky would straight up break check you in a corner and then just stop and look back at you. He would slap rip your number plate off you got in his way. It was awesome…

    There is no doubt that Chad has what it takes to win tonight.
    He’s just got to take it. He needs to stop worrying about fines and his image and all that crap and just take the championship. If I were him, I would twist that that throttle and put that fool in the cheap seats.

    I would take the championship and never look back.

  • Anonymous Says:

    dude come on… he didn’t say shit about stewart on the podium he just said mikey was taking him out!

  • Kj Says:

    I don’t think so, what reed said at this conference is BS. How can any of you root for this P.O.S. He is a poor sport and a brat. He never has and never will beat Stewart. His career is all about the big *. Can only win if Stewart is hurt and Carmichael is hurt. He’ll quit after this season cuz he doesn’t have a chance against the more classy and more talented Mr. James Stewart. Eat it Reed and all of your fans!!!!

  • Homeskillet Says:

    …….duplicizzle?

  • Anonymous Says:

    Im sorry but im pretty sure grant or alessi couldnt strait up beat stewart.. even if stewart crashed they couldnt beat him. And you guys probably know that if youve been watching the series.

    well anyways, go Stewart and Villopoto!!

  • Kyle G Says:

    I can NOT stand dungey’s style. Looks like he has a stick up his ass.

  • Anonymous Says:

    Well sorry i made a mistake

  • SXChic422 Says:

    LMAO that is IF Stewart shows!!

  • SXChic422 Says:

    IF JS is so GREAT why the hell did KAWI kick his ass to the curb then?? And didn’t even give him a quarter to call someone who cares!! As for the press conference Reed tells it how it is.. he doesn’t sugar coat things like JS does to apease his fans! Go Big REED!! Make Vegas yours!! BTW REEDS GEAR ROCKS!! GO DUNGEY! GO REED!!

  • CCornwell34 Says:

    Personally, i hate reed and stewart. they are both very talented riders, but they are both very cocky. i would like to se both chad and james crash out… that would be great. even though that would hand the title to james.

  • Jarrett Dean Says:

    Hey KJ: Although I “somewhat agree” with your assessment of Reed being a poor sport and a whiner, Stewart is just as disrespectful to his fans and media. If I had my way, I would give the title to Grant, Villopoto, or Short because they are not only the coolest guys I have met at the races but heller racers that aren’t afraid to let it hang out AND be in the spotlight.

  • dirtrider56 Says:

    Reeds gear is lookin fresh!!! Good luck to ya Chad go get him

  • dirtrider56 Says:

    No way in hell does bubba have the right to be called the new goat and i dont think he ever will

  • Cole Says:

    i dont think anyone has the right to be “greatest of all time” RC was the greatest of his day. JMc may not be nearly as fast now, but he too was the greatest of his time, thats why they call him the king. so instead of G.O.A.T. why not G.O.H.T haha spelled different but sounds the same..

  • Mxracer28 Says:

    yeaaa…gooo chad take that fool out…whooooo…vegas baby!!!

  • Stebo Says:

    I totally agree with Kj!!
    Finally someone understands that Stewart is a hell of alot better than Reed.

  • Sellers Says:

    Hell Yeah

  • Anonymous Says:

    Agreed. stewart is more agressive and risks more. check out this vid of stewart on the test track in cali.

  • Anonymous Says:

    how dare you even use the term GOAT in the same sentence with james stewart. he will never even come close to being as great as carmichael. his pu55y a55 isnt even riding nationals. did rc ever back down from riding a single series? no! did you just start following mx? your retarded. keep beating off to your stewart poster

  • RideMX4life21 Says:

    Reed has a lot of heart and will give it 200% in Vegas…I think it is going to be a really good race!

  • so-mn Says:

    JS7!!! hey chad, austrailia is calling your ass back. BYE BYE 2nd placer

  • dogger Says:

    I HOPE THET TAKE EACH OTHER OUT AT LEAST 2 TIMES IN THE MAIN OTHER THEN THAT ITS ALL #7 REED WILL GO BACK HOME AND STEW ON THAT ONE!

  • Anonymous Says:

    Only Jason Lawrence has the balls to take Bubba Stewart out, I’m sure J-Law doesn’t care about the “politically correct”!

  • J.B. Says:

    Why do you Reed haters want him to leave so bad? If he wasn’t here, this season would have sucked. I am not a Reed fan, Just can’t stand Stewie

  • Anonymous Says:

    WTF is that link crap.

  • Mentz Says:

    Dude shut up. Bottom line is Stewart is way better than Reed. The only way Reed wins if if Stewart goes down or is hurt. For example, look at the only two championships he won. Stewart was out hurt for both of them. That’s sayin somethin bud so why dont you start cheering for a good rider. Go stewart!

  • I rule Says:

    James Stewart is out there to win. Whos gives a damn if he dosent make time to be nice to every single fan. Stop being haters…
    And its not that he rides with no control, its that he hangs it out and does his best every race, he dosent back down so he can “stay consistent” or “do what he has to do” to win a championship, honestly I dont think he cares that much about the championship itself as he does just winning and be the fastest guy on the track. Good luck bubba!

  • BW Says:

    F@CK STEWART

    damn straight and not even 12months after breaking his back
