Well, Bubba busts another one. You simply cannot win on your face in the dirt. He is the fastest guy, but can't always contain himself. Like Reed said "The fastest guy doesn't always win!". This should keep it interesting.

Didn't get to watch it, but read about Pastrana and his crash with Jake. Bummer all around.
What happened to Vilipoto???

I was surprised to hear Reedy admit that Stewart is faster then him with that comment! Wonder if he realized what he was admitting
I for one really liked Pastrana's track ... very cool elevation changes, the over/under, etc ... real interesting.
I was disappointed in Pastrana entering one event and then "riding dirty" as he called it during the LCQ. He was bouncing off rider after rider and it seemed a bit CS to me when he is riding against folks giving the season their all, and risking their entire season for his one event!
In that same vein, I have to give Lawrence credit. When Stewart came up on him and he was between Reed and Stewart, he obviously pulled over and made sure not to get in the way of the boys! I have gained a bit of respect for the kid during his couple of SX class main events.

X2. But he has a ways to go to get back to "good credit" status in my book. Let's hope he keeps the train on the track when everything counts this summer. Right now he is basically free-riding and having fun.
Good for Reed. He's been racing hard this year. While we all know (including him) that Stewie is faster, they run the races for good reason. I hope he beats the 7 this year. Tired of explaining the asterik next to Reed's other Championships...

Stewart is faster than anybody, if he can stay up. Watching this race carefully, he was out of control a lot. He is an amazing athlete and can save what puts most on the ground. Reed is usually just tenths of a second slower all around. Too bad he isn't willing to hang it out more, like Carmichael would, in order to pressure Bubba into his well-known crashes.
J-Law is still a punk, but at least he has "some" respect for the faster guys. I was surprised when he was able to get past Grant as easily as he did.

I find that Reed is just way more fun to watch race! Stewarts obviously the best when he's up, but he's just so scrappy! Watching racers like Reed and Windham who are just Mr. Smooth out there is entertaining! Who wants to watch the guy up front who cases everything and doesnt even need to race anybody... everybody just pulls over for him! James is flat out just a better athlete than everybody else, not just a better racer!

I have always admired Reed and Windham for their riding style. Smooth almost enough to make it look effortless. Reed has had image issues, but he seems to be doing better there this year. Windham is just a class act.

It is getting kinda boring knowing that every week Stewart will win if he keep his bike on 2 wheels, and If he doesn't Reed wins!
J-Law, hate the kid, but he does deserve some credit. He has shown that he will be a contender in the big boys class, and as long as he keeps the respect level up, other riders will give it back.
Pastrana was an all out major dissapointment, i was looking for some more out of him. He showed he could be a hack, (LCQ) but I cant say i would not have tried my hardest to get in the main of the track i designed...
But I gotta give it up for my hometown kid..... Kyle Chisolm! We have rode with him and Timmy Ferry alot at our local track, he is certainly showing up to prove something by at Least getting in the main each week...
Good job Kyle...... Don't forget to come back and visit us soon bud!

You could run Reed and Stewart by their selves each week and the rest could race for the podiums. There would be three different racers on the boxes every race, and the championship would be a toss up. Would be a little more exciting at this point.
J-Law is making me eat my words, I figured he'd be racing LCQ's. Shows how much I know. Like T.O. in football, just keep the mic out of his face.
Shorty's hanging in there, but it seems like Tadesco is wearing out.
