450 Supercross With Ryan Villopoto

Bookmark and Share

swapmoto

It’s been several weeks since we joined Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto at Glen Helen during his first day on the all new 2009 Kawasaki KX450F, so we decided to catch up with our guest editorial columnist to see how his Supercross training is going. Needless to say, RV2 looked fantastic aboard his big KX450F. Be sure to prop this video if you like Villopoto’s riding, because he checks the web site often!

    OMG RV2 looks amazing on the Fo Fiddy!!!

  • Rivard809 Says:

    RV is my favorite rider, and i could tell in the earlier 450 videos that he wasn’t the happiest with the bike, especially in the Racer X video at Glenn Helen. He looked great, but not as smooth as he usually is, but i am very impressed with his control on the tighter SX track. Hes moving better, and it looks like he finally accepted that you cant muscle a 450 around, and has had to adapt his riding style like all of us do when we move up, but he still looks like the same RV, so im anxious to watch him race on the big bike, should make for some great racing.

  • mspicer Says:

    I agree, RV is used to holding the throttle pinned everywhere on the track whether it is necessary or not. He is probably realizing that he cannot ride the 450 the same way. I think Bubba had the same problem early on and learned to ride the bike in the middle of the power band. RV will be the second redhed giving Bubba a run for his money.

  • George Says:

    It looks like he will have something for Stewart this year!!

  • Krazy Kev Says:

    That Washington dude can haul the mail man. Looks good, looks smooth, looks fast. Let’s hope he can stay up front and make this a great year for racing indoors & out! Go RV

  • KJ978 Says:

    I feel like an idiot for doubting RV’s ability on the 450. He’s definitely gonna be top 3 and I’m sure will be even faster by A1. I can’t wait.

  • h0lesh0t Says:

    LOOK OUT BUBBA AND REEDY! maybe?

  • berra Says:

    Dont get hurt now, RedDevil. I wanna see you haul at A1

  • jaywash Says:

    Why all the slow motion..PLAY THE VIDEO AT NORMAL SPEED. The slow-mo is so boring.

  • H to Izzo Says:

    looking sick, may be giving stewart a hell of challenge. I want to see if RV can scrub as hard as bubba. that will be a big factor in challenging stewart in supercross

  • Frodaddy Says:

    RV2 lookin good, hopefully he will be the 2009 champ!

  • Big Hoop Says:

    He looks good…but you get the feeling there is a lot more speed still to come…this SX season is going to be awesome!!!!

  • Motorakid Says:

    Finally we are going to see some racing again, and not just the race for second place.I think RV is a more seasoned and patient rider than Stewart was when he came into the motocross class.Hopefully he doesnt’ pull any bonehead type moves and takes it a just a little easy for the 1st couple of races to get his feet wet then as he gets in the groove he’ll really give Bubba something to worry about.

  • mo Says:

    your comments are pathetic, like it’s a biiig surprise that Villopoto would be fast on a 450.
    Of course he is, you …, but that doesn’t mean that he will give Stewart a run for his money,
    like the red necks all allready begging for, looks like you can’t wait to see a white face back on
    the 1st podium.
    However, I really look forward to the new season, maybe we’ll be talking about the big 3 again, soon, but there are other contenders too.

  • Jimmy Says:

    I became a fan of RV when he started winning. Being the fair-weathered fan that I am, I hope he wins this year or I am cheering for James, or whoever it is that does win.

    Go winning rider!

  • BIGWIG Says:

    hope rv kicks sum ass

  • joey Says:

    whoever filmed this sucks. and the videos on twmx have the gayest song selections.. I guess when the editor is a SQUID like Maeda, the quality of the site reflects it.. Watching Maeda ride at Perris is like seeing somebody after christmas at the track, brand new everything…all the bells and whistles and yet he is a fat slow guy who thinks he is so funny and tries to make fun of pro racers who dont exactly think fondly of him. You are a joke TWMX.

  • JimBob Says:

    Holy smokes, some people must be having a bad day or something! I think Villipoto’s gonna do great but after watching stewart at the Yamaha test track and his no fear-no holds barred attitude towards sx villipoto’s gonna have to charge a bit harder. Fortunately, he’s got some time to improve.

  • towerrebel Says:

    It looks like he’s just along for the ride until there’s a corner and then he has no idea what to do but turn the bike around and go for another ride down the next straight away. GET ON THE REAR BRAKE TO SLIDE THAT BEAST AROUND!!! I’d say forget about what Doug Dube says about being smooth with the throttle and lock up the rear brake going into the corner and literally get on the gas before releasing the brakes. Try skiing on ice out east and then you’ll appreciate sliding the rear end around and lean control.

  • mx131 Says:

    You have to be a moron.. Sliding your brakes through bowl turn that already have ruts in them? Wow what an idiot.

    Looks smooth though. Stewart is still the man to beat

  • Jason Mac Says:

    Hey Joey, your a massive loser for calling out Don like that. The TWMX crew are the best in the world at what they do and that’s why they have the best selling motocross magazine in the world. Don’t log on if you think they are a bunch of squids and I can tell you now the riders love talking to Don. If they are not in the magazines and on TV they wont have a job. Go TWMX

  • scuba steve Says:

    you my friend are the idiot. Youre probably not at that skill level yet to know what the man is saying.

  • C146 Says:

    Looks fast as hell, but does anyone notice how flappy the fenders look? I honestly wouldn’t put it past Kawi to use lighter plastics to cut down on weight.

  • Anonymous Says:

    #7 is gone but what I see here rv has Reed all day long!

  • Zach Says:

    He’s not very good…

  • Mike Martin Says:

    Wow, he looks very smooth, fast on the 450. As much as I hate to say it, I’d rather see him at the top of the podium than James or Chad. He is a clean cut kid who works very hard. He deserves every bit of success that he has achieved so far.

  • 146 Says:

    Ryan is looking precise and smooth. He will pick up alot more speed after the first 2 rounds. Goodluck RV.

  • beto Says:

    hey Jason Mac! i totally agree with u! TWMX IS the best selling mgazine in the world! i like it very much and love your work and magazines. your videos are also great! keep on the GREAT work!
    ..ooh.. bye the way.. you REALLY ARE A BIG LOSER JOEY

    ..all the way from Honduras!

  • Roostfactor Says:

    He definitely looks smooth and precise on the 450. He has amazing throttle control considering his riding style on the 250 was WFO all the time! He has the flat track corners wired, but I think he will have to pick up his speed in the bowl turns if he is going to do better than 3rd. He is a smart/fast rider with Carmichael like determination. I am sure he knows whatever weakness (if any) he has and will work diligently on it until A1.

  • Smout Says:

    I agree! I do think this music isn’t their greatest selection. But everyone has a bad day!

    TWMX all the way

  • Smout Says:

    Love to know what kind of drugs you did before making that comment, cause I would really suggest never taken them again

  • Anonymous Says:

    Hey bud, just out of curiosity; howcome you hate to admit preferring to see RV at the top of the podium as opposed to James and Chad…unless ofcourse merely on the basis of being an RV fan?

  • TsmithMX Says:

    Cool video Swap, but the whole thing is in slow motion!! I want to see how fast he’s actually riding as well!!

  • kxtech Says:

    RV is looking good but the mighty James is faster than the mighty Goat was on a supercross track, so if RV is gonna beat James he’ll have to bring it like no other.Good luck RV I hope you do make watching supercross exciting again [ie Goat vs James and MC style]

  • `Holeshot413 Says:

    Great video, Ryan looks great…That song though sheesshh…sound of the bike is way better……….

  • fox926 Says:

    wow ryan is looking like he is fit on the 450’s seems like its going to be a great supercross year with every rider healthy its going to be a brawl waiting to happen good luck ryan

  • Anonymous Says:

    I am tired of stewart winning, looks like RV2 will throw it down next year, I would like to see Reed beat JS7 soundly as well.

  • dgizzy Says:

    Guys RV is not as fast a supercross rider as he is motocross. James is gone and so is reed. He may be able to race windham or Millsaps but remember this guys have experience on 450. Josh Hill is another guy to watch.
    RV might get a top 5 but im not betting on podium. May be motocross but not SX.

  • Bread Says:

    When did Ryan switch to Oakley goggles?

  • J-Bone Says:

    GO RV2! Hopefully we will FINALLY see some heller Supercross races this year. Reedy, Bubba, RV, and oh…..who will be Honda’s rider??? Hot Sauce? Millsaps is a dick. Shorty could do it - and he’s a nice guy. Peace and do it in the dirt bi-snatches!

  • TherealDC Says:

    Dude, your pinnd RC. The 450 class is watchin this goin ahh shit, I gotta go faster.

  • TherealDC Says:

    RV*

  • YZ509 Says:

    He is so good on the four fifty! teach me how to throw whips like that Ryan!!

  • Rhoades Says:

    Hahaha you are a pathetic hater. prob one of those guys who would kiss swap’s ass if he even said hello to you. transworld rules. go back to your thumpertalk web site loser

  • Anonymous Says:

    HEY CAN ANYONE HELP, THE PAGE IS LOADING BUT NOT THE VIDEO…WHAT GIVES?

  • DaveYZ Says:

    Let’s be honest….James has the advantage in Supercross and Ryan is the man to beat outdoors.

  • MotoX109 Says:

    I thought the same exact thing.

  • DAN%##NZ Says:

    RV is rippin on the fofiddy and with a smooth agressive style that will put him in the top 3 sx. And very RC like hes going to run away outdoors

  • scrub-a-dub Says:

    “Have something for stewart this year”?
    you guys are plain silly.

  • yamadirt Says:

    That’s right! He’s looking good and in control. Don’t get crazy RV. We need you healthy and on 2 wheels. Keep up the good job.

  • RMZ819 Says:

    I don’t anything special watching the video. With the bullshit music playing there is no way to tell how hard he is working the bike. Transworld videos pretty much blow 99% of the time.

  • blackknite Says:

    sikk video,thanks for bringing it to us! i remember a day when their wasn`t any moto to be seen at all and it sucked! stop your hatin`, you wanna complain , get your camera,your website and bring your bike so we can all watch you ride too! trust me,we`ll all die laughing at you! thanks transworld, i enjoyed the whole thing , music mix and all!

  • Jake Says:

    Lookin’ fast, eager to see him mixing it up with Stewart. Looks to be over jumping a bit but to hell with it….he’s movin’

  • Alex752 Says:

    Im a redhead and we rule ive been to lorettas twice im goin for a 3rd this yr i ride a kawai 250f 07 people say i look like villopoto but u will have to wait and see when i move up to pro class

  • K.gelhaus Says:

    He has a great shot at Stewart because he will push Stewart more than Reed will. Lets not forget he is a champion! Ask yourself why Stewart doesn’t want to come outdoors??????

  • SniperCat Says:

    Hey “mo” why are you pulling the race card? Take that deck back to your hoel and have a glass of haterade.

  • Anonymous Says:

    how do you get rid of the pinch it menu. it will not let me close it

  • J-416 Says:

    Hey guy’s thought everyone would be happy to see another possible contender on the box. I don’t know about you but I would love to see a three or four way battle in point’s right up to the final round in Vegas. There is one thing to consider here, if the AMA and FIM get there way witch I hope they do the Supercross tracks may go back to the day of old school technical. If that happens then it won’t matter how fast these guy’s are they will have to learn speed control, not just open throttle. I am existed for the new season.

  • jrod 55 Says:

    Hey this message is for rv2 and not to reply to any ones comment. I’ve been a fan since you showed up and finished second at your first sx race a few years ago. I know for sure if you can stay on two wheels you will be top 3 all year long. I have watched stewart and reed many times on a sx track and the only thing holding reed back is his whoop speed and his inability to hit the big technical rhythym sections. If you can keep the throttle wide open through the whoops and use the power of the 450 to hit the big technical rhythyms then you will give stewart a run for his money. Good riding rv2

  • Anonymous Says:

    RV Rules… that music sucks ass…

  • Smout Says:

    The power to weight ratio is rediculous with RV and his 450! I agree with what people are saying about RV use to being tapped full throttle everywhere, but come on now. The 450 has power EVERYWHERE! As long as RV can carry his usual corner speed having the biked tapped will not matter near as much!

    Can you say HOLESHOT!

  • YZ rider 157 Says:

    Its good he looks good on the bike but he is gonna have to step his game up to race with bubba… he needs to scrub more speed like bubba and pick up the corner times a lil…

  • HONDAMASTER Says:

    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? STEWART WON EVERY RACE OUTDOORS HE RACED! VILLAPOTO DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE AT LEAST FOR A COUPLE YEARS!

  • FOFIF Says:

    LOOKING BETTER BUT NOT GOING TO TOUCH STEWART ANYTIME SOON! GOOD LUCK! BY THE WAY THE SONG SUCKED A#%!

  • I Says:

    That song was sick.

  • ridered129 Says:

    sick. hope to see him up front.

  • a9 Says:

    hi nice video ; love the music too ; who’s that remix? thanks

  • live2ride race2live Says:

    Stewarts days are numbered he’s only good at supercross, never could beat carmichael at a national, the goat schooled bubba all day long. bubba can’t stop getting hurt he’s another pastrana his days in the lime light are numbered. The depth in the feild now is no where near what it was when Rc raced bubba is just blipp on the radar. by the way cracker hater now there is BLACK PRESIDENT have no reasons or excuses to sell crack run out on your wife and kids. quit pulling the race card. get off your but you no longer have an excuse.

  • Zach Says:

    Smout’s homework: 1. Look up sarcasm on wikipedia. 2. Get personality. 3. Use both as much as possible.

  • mx junky Says:

    It is no surprise that rv is fast thats obvious. Your just scared because you know James is on his way out. You are an idiot your moma smoked crack while she was pregnant with you. Nobody here was even implying anything racial except you. Quit whining, stop making the black race look so weak, always turning to the race card when things aren’t the way you want them to be. Obama won now you have no excuse, the playing feild is level, but yet you are still pulling the race card.

  • Mike Says:

    Finally someone that can mix it up in the big class and maybe give James(my favorite) a run for the money. I would really love it if he could race the shit out of reed. Otherwise I think Ryan’s moment are going to be in the outdoor season. I guess that James will not participate so who is in his way? This years nr two Tim Ferry looked a bit pale compared to Ryan at des nations…

  • josh hartwig Says:

    Im a huge RV fan but in this video, dont get me WRONG, hes still warmin up on the new bike, but he looks like heed get handed to Reed let alone STEWART. He has alot more work to do.

  • i dirtbike Says:

    i cant wait for RV2 and JS7 to battle it out!!!!!!

  • Dan Evans Says:

    The world will soon know what all of us here in Poulsbo have always known. Villopoto is the best! We can’t wait until he has a few 450 races under his belt.

  • James Stewart Says:

    First id like to say that i want that song that RV was Riding to in that video…an second yes RC is the GOAT but Bubba will always be the guy everyone talks about…And now that RV is on 450s he may give Bubba a run for the titles but…in the long run Bubbas got supercross in the bag.(as long as he stays on two wheels)(same with RV, hes got skill, hes just got to put it too work) But one thing for sure is its goin to be a vary exciting season!!!!Cant Wait!!!

  • Samita Vaoifi Says:

    Hey Swap, why you gotta speed up the footage? What, you don’t have any confidence in the boy. He’s got nuttin for my man Bubba.

  • Tyler Says:

    style=completely different…still fast as hell though

  • iRide378 Says:

    Dude what the hell are you guys trippin on this song is dope haha i love when they have the songs like this.. they did the same thing on Kdubs video at Comp Edge and it was sick too. But i gotta say im not a big fan of RV i heard the things he said about some people just shouldnt be one the track or whatever after he ran into josh grant or josh ran into him… everyone out there deserve to be there they all have their pro license and they all earned it and are fast enough to be there even the privateers… they work harder than any of them. Plus when him and Jlaw got into it at hangtown, and they punished Jason way more than Ryan doesnt seem fair to me but idk i might not know the whole story.

  • iRide378 Says:

    Lol your saying not to pull the race card then you say racist things… IGNORANT

  • kyle murphy Says:

    Looks crazy fast through the whoops ut probably still a while to catch up to Stewart’s speed. Reed better step up his game or he’ll be riding alone in 3rd place.

  • 313 Says:

    here is a list things i think are funny about peoples comments. first, people who say “he is looking fast” everybody looks fast when they arent racing anybody and the video is slowed down. Second, the people who say he needs to work on his cornering, seriously, no I’m serious, are you serious? how do you know hes losing a tenth of a second on his cornering from this video? c’mon! plus, if you can corner better than him you should be racing him. Third, any comment giving him advice, “he’s gotta go faster” again, are you serious, do you think hes trying to go slow? or just cruising around? c’mon guys.

    On the other hand the one comment i did like was, Zach giving Smout homework for being rediculous!

    Now, id like to add my real comment, #7 will dominate him (this season)no doubt, but i think he can beat #22 easy. He could be good enough by next season to compete, or he might take 1st this season when #7 wads himself up. and im out!

  • shawnt Says:

    some of the shit people post on here is retarded, they dont even know what there talking about its amazing how dumb they are

  • usaidit Says:

    you said man

  • Grinson Says:

    Cry babies, taking out the race card, smack talking about other people.

    RV is fast, but remember, its a big step to the 450 class, therefore, he will be getting used to the whole new bike n’all. And you gotta remember that Stewart and Reed have a lot of years of experience, and anything can go wrong. Plus, dont forget, they are the best supercross riders in the world, period.

    And for that guy saying that Bubba sucked and that he could never beat Ricky.. just wanted to let you know he just won the outdoor season 24-0, with only one moto with a lead that was less than 10 seconds. Wooops, did i just insinuate somebody took out a 30 second or more lead on the best motocross riders in the world… guess i did.

  • brandon sumner Says:

    RV is the F**k Man!he’s asowme on a 450

  • Baller Says:

    Teach Stewart a lesson for leaving Kawasaki! Ryan is going to have to show everyone that Kawasaki still makes the best bikes out there!

  • Timmaa Says:

    Looks like it’s going to be another case of a white man holdin a brother down. RV just needs to watch we dosen’t get landed on!

  • steven521 Says:

    i think you guys are retarded the magazines and website are bad ass and so are the videos and the music on them especially the song on this vid the only thing i dont like about the vids is when the speed up film it looks retarded and makes there riding look sloppy

  • live2ride race2live Says:

    hey iRide378 your a f##kn clown. Your my space page is as lame as the song in this villopoto clip. Your confused, your white but think your black. besides who ever said running out on your wife, smoking crack or not taking care of your kids was a racist comment. If it is then obama is a racist because he has made many comments on these issue during his time as a senater and while running for office. Oh wait you have an excuse you from california, everyone out there is out of touch with reality. Its all about the superficial stuff out bling bling. Most people from cali have no substance, their so fn Shallow. what is one in every ten homes is up for forclosure becuase everyone out there has to front, drive a nice car wear the latest fashion,fake f##kin wanabes. who’s IGNORANT i know what color i am. loearn how to live with in your means. stop okaying gasy marriage

  • live2ride race2live Says:

    You the one smoking somthing stewart hasn’t won every outdoor race, he was beat by ricky, k-dub, and reed. he is good but it won’t last forever. right now the feild dosen’t have the depth it did in the past. stwarts good but not as good as rc. when rc was in his prime stewart could never touch him at national. Rc made an impact Immediately when he entered the 250 class or the motorcross class. stwart couldn’t he couldn’t put a season together without getting hurt. I suspect vilopoto won’t be able to beat him right away either neither bubba or rv are as good as the goat. By the way you must have just started whatching mx because you think bubba has won every national race he has entered never won a an outdoor title or a sx title while rc raced. by the anyone on any day has a chance stewart is beatable he rides over his head all the time thats why hes had a broken collar bone blown out knee, separated shoulder, he takes unnecessary risks.

  • joesmoe Says:

    whats name of song?

  • live2ride race2live Says:

    no your a f##kin idiot he never could beat ricky at a national. while rc raced james never won a outdoor title or sx title in the 250-motocross class. ricky schooled james in outdoors. the feild is not near as talented now as it was then.

  • domiNATE #42 Says:

    I like RV, he’s been my favorite for the longest time.

    But as of late, I’m contemplating if he’s a full time racer or full time douchebag.

    I’m not trying to diss any riders here. But he just doesn’t seem like he cares at all. And I think he is too cocky. Riding is all about heart! <3

    I will still continue to say he’s my favorite rider. But I don’t think it’ll stay that way if he continues to be so arrogant.

  • 162 Says:

    for those of you who dont remember, RV’s lap times in both supercross and outdoors where usually within 1 second of JS’s lap times. give RV a bigger bike, he’s gonna go faster. just something to think about.

  • Lapper 129 Says:

    I think if you took out the one rhythm section that usually shows up at every supercross round that seperates the men from the boys, you could throw a blanket over Reed, Stewart and Villopoto. The difference is that the last couple of years, Reed is unwilling to take risks. This is going to be a Stewart and Villy show all year.

  • Steve Jnks Says:

    I have been riding and spectating since I was 9 years old and though I was never anybody I was respected and I was fast to the local guys, However I do consider myself a Pro Fan or Pro Spectator. I am now 46 and I have seen them all, Ryan V is the best I have ever seen (In My Opinion) He is all heart.

  • mx5377 Says:

    Seriously dude, stop judging people because they live in california i lived there for 5 years and we drove a toyota 4runner and lived in an average house(even though it was overpriced because of the ridiculous cost of living there). There are people like that everywhere, they are called actors lol and why even bring Obama into an mx argument on an mx website seriously and bubba was inexperienced and slower when he raced RC. I dont know if you happened to catch the entire 08 outdoor series but bubba pretty much destroyed everyone and RV2 may not be able to beat him but we will see soon so just chill.
    PS:When you can spell motocross then you can talk.

  • NAT FORT. Says:

    I couldn’t agree more we are looking @ the next R.C.if not more this guy doesn’t take prisoners . let not forget Ben Townley . i wonder if James sleeps well at night knowing hows going to line up next to him ,cant wait…….

  • teko Says:

    agunate balbiiii los otros son unos fantamas !!!!BRAZILIAN BOMBER!!!

  • Grinson Says:

    Hahahahaha wow, please read what you just wrote, ur pathetic.

    James never one, because, he isnt as fast and had a couple years less of experience.

    If you dont remember, JS was the only rider to give ricky a run for his money, but sure, Ricky was faster, no doubt about that, and when you look at the grand scheme, JS has been pretty unlucky while RC has had a pretty uneventful career (injury and other stuff)

  • Anonymous Says:

    ps mx5377 i lived in cali for 8 years and the place is full
    of idiots. As far as bring up obama on a MOTOCROSS site, i was only responding to the racist comment above. I am not racist just hate when some idiots who know nothing about mx comment on it. By the way the goat was better than bubba will ever be. Right now the field is shallow. RC destroyed the field all the time. He made an impact his first season in the 250 class. Rc was just fast but he was smart he could put a season together with out injury or doing somthing stupid like bubba would his first few seasons.

  • Anonymous Says:

    Wow your knowledge of mx is so small, so reed, k-dub, and magrath never gave ricky a run for his money just james. As far as experience he turned pro and stated racing a 15 years old the same age as Rc but couldn’t make an impact in the 250 class right away, because he is simply not as good. AS FAR as getting injured LUCK has nothing to do with it ricky rode smarter, plus was better prepared knew when to lay up a hold off james always rode over his head. his rain at the top will end. there is always some one coming up whos is faster smarter and younger. By the way it isn’t spelled one its won retard.

  • mx expert class Says:

    You two ar both F##kin clowns. wanna be motocross fans. both of you get the F@@k outa this room. Go home You can’t hang here. Learn your facts before you spew your SH$T. I think you need to take look at some footage of the two best battling it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGDkIG_SDlM&feature=related

  • OZBOZ Says:

    Hey dude…just a quick one…bigger bike doesn’t always mean someone is going to go faster…ask the whole field at the 2007 motocross of nations in the US - Villopoto schooled the field on a 250F! I know you’re probably going to say that’s because it was Villopoto, but ask anyone who rides - sometimes it’s harder to go faster on the “bigger” bike. Lets hope its a great battle in 09 anyways…

  • Cobdog Says:

    Hey dude, good point. Although remember last year Reed went into the season with the mentality that he was going to do what it took to win, even if that included going down trying! I think this “new” attitude is a positive thing and it may result in the extra speed Chad needs to contend with Bubba. Throw Villo et. al. into the mix and 09 should be the “perfect storm” take-3!

  • sammy allison Says:

    dude hes fast! i hope he tears everyone a new one

  • Anonymous Says:

    what is the song

  • Grinson Says:

    Wow your so cool, I wish I could be like you when i grow up to be a douche bag, just like you.

    I never said James is better and that nobody else gave Ricky a run for his money. Its not like hes ridden the way he has his whole life. Im just saying that in the later stages of his career the only rider to stay at the pace of RC was James, and that says a lot. And this year, the only person to ride, even if it was a few laps, at James pace was Alessi, thats not saying James sucks and Alessi is way better.

    And then you could say that RC is smarter at riding, but that doesnt save you from everything. Trey Canard is a pretty race savvy racer, but he broke his femur (i believe it was his femur) while lapping some rider, it happens. James blowing his knee in Washougal wasnt something because he sucks at riding or hes too dang stupid for puting his leg out front in the turn, he did it all right, but unfortunantly blew his knee.. it happens.

    All n’all im just saying that at this moment, racing wise, James is the fastest out there. Sure Villopoto is fast, but he still hasnt raced on the 450, and not all rider step up to the bike bikes class and make an impact, sure, Villopoto has the talent and skill to do it, but as someone else mentioned, he is having to completely adapt his new riding style to the 450, he rode the 250 how it should be ridden, pinned down, he can do it with the 450, RC learned how, but RC didnt go up to the big class beating the snot out of everybody, its a gradual learning curve. If Villopoto puts in the hours and the dedication as RC did, he will no doubt surpass James, but he has to do it first.. because as i said, James has more experience in the motocross class, and is a force to be handled with.

    Soo.. just stating again.. im backing James for being a talented and skilled rider, and at this very moment, is the one to be beaten, i mean, after all he is the one that perfected the scrub.

  • Anonymous Says:

    completely agree, how can you say who is going to win by watching a slow motion video that is heavily edited. i will wait til they are on the same track and lap times are coming in.

  • kcorde Says:

    RV is gonna school Stewart! Stewart is gonna smoke RV, Your a dipshit, No! Your a dipshit…..Blah, Blah, Blah! No one has a crystal ball on this thing. Just be glad someone with some speed and talent is moving into the 450’s to make the racing more exciting and hopefully tighten it up a bit. While watching the racing is always fun, it sure would be more enjoyable if we weren’t sure who was gonna win every time out don’t you agree? Stewart is an amazing rider! I don’t think anyone can seriously deny that. I bet the GOAT would tell you the same thing. Hopefully he will have someone to race against this year when he returns to Supercross. Here’s hoping for some tight racing in the 450 class this year!

  • Jacobis Says:

    villipoto is the man! i used to live in Poulsbo so he was my hero. I was about 16 out at this sx style outdoor track. and villipoto was still on 80’s then. i remember i was showin my gf how i could “cream everyone at the track.” here comes this little 80 just screamin along.. and he passed me. i was killin it too. he passed everyone out there. i wasn’t a fan of him on that particular day. lol. but RV you’re a beast man! FRIGGEN BEAST!! PROPS

  • Jacobis Says:

  • mxracer52 Says:

    what song is that? that is some b.a. riding as well RV wil def give stewart a run for his money as long as hes healthy

  • Hjbanks Says:

    First all, lets give props to all the riders for what they do! Being a professional motocross rider is no walk in the park. Not everyone can do what they do! As for the Stewart haters out there. James is no where near to being on his way out. You FOOLS are the ones smoking crack if you think Stewart is on his way out. He will be ONLY 23 years old on December 21st! Stewant can will ALL the supercross races. It can happen. He will do what MC almost did in 95′. Salute to you, JAMES! Smoke em all! No prisnors, baby! Ha ha!

  • Hjbanks Says:

    Oopps! Correction. MC almost won them all in 96′! Stewart can win all the supercross races in 2009!!

  • Frederik Says:

    Hello

    He may well g the gas at 450 so it is not only 250F he can gi on gas

  • yzhammer Says:

    I really enjoy watching both Stewart and Villo….with all the changes in teams and bikes this year, we may actually get an entertaining season. Here’s hoping for a wild Supercross 09!

  • Craigo Says:

    I`m a huge Reed fan!All i have to say is that if Reed don`t win it better be Vill!

  • gas down Says:

  • holien604 Says:

    hes got bubba

  • dudedude Says:

    hes got buba this year he looks super smooth and super fast good luck rv

  • Otto Says:

    Dude I was there the day they filmed this, that’s actually my truck parked outside the fence. I was going out to play golf off the same exit as the test track so I decided to swing by. And I got to tell you THEY MUST HAVE SPED UP THE FILM or something cause he looked like he was strugglin quite a bit. He can’t ride it like the 250, don’t get your hopes up, he wont be able to hang with bubba this year.

  • hoobastench Says:

    Dude, what are you thinking? Bubba just had the most dominant outdoor season in history… he smoked everyone at the US Open, smoked everyone at the MXoN… what more could you ask for? You are the ones that are proving that the black race isnt so weak, you retard. Why does race even have to come into this? One racer (Bubba) is head and shoulders above everyone else right now. RC is my hero but Bubba took some nationals away from him, not alot but he did get some. Bubba is in his prime right now, barring an injury noone could beat him right now, black or white!

  • Anonymous Says:

    James Stuart Sucks! i want Ryan to win.

  • Matt Benoit Says:

    Awesome video… I currently own a Honda and looking to get a bigger bike and this video really makes me think about getting a Kawasaki… The video is awesome… As far as Villopoto goes, he’s an awesome rider, but as long as Reed and Stewart are still racing, he’ll have a hard time winning… Finally, the song is awesome… The name of the song is “Back In the Episode”… It’s by Dr. Dre & AC/DC… I have been trying to find the song for a while now and can’t seem to… So if anyone comes across a link and gets the song, please let me know…
