Official 2018 Supercross thread

Are you saying he wasn't in the wrong in any of this? I wouldn't say it's hating at all.

 

End of the day the other guy was a lapped rider. If they were racing each other all would be fair. Forkner was riding as fast as possible to make up time. You can't put 100% of the blame on Forkner. Yeah he messed up crashing while in the lead, he was heated up over that. I can understand him being frustrated with the lapped rider. In the end it didn't change anything he still finished 5th.

 

I think most Supercross fans hate Chad Reed.

 

This man gets it. That man needs to hang it up already. But to be fair I hated him since the beginning.

 

Best moment of Chad Reed’s career.

 

Ya i get that but i dont think Alves was riding ridiculous. He was in the main line more than he should have but not like he was blocking Forkner. And like i said, there is no evidence that Alves even got a blue flag. Not saying its all Forkners fault but im just lumping the cross-jumping thing in, the Alves incident and some things that took place during daytime practice. He tried messing w Osborne in practice and after the same session he flipped on someone who he thought was in his way. He needs to take it down a notch, imo. Handle business and stop being a punk.

 

It is hilarious that last year he was a farm boy. This year he has the punk haircut.

 

I liked the mid-year east/west shootout. Cool idea. JMart was ripping. AP was on the move too. All the PC guys looked pretty good and Osborne. Really happy for Renzland. Long time coming for that dude.

 

Same here the east west shootout was cool... I'm really impressed with the PC Kawi guys this year. I really enjoyed the racing this weekend, a couple of crazy starts in the main with the top guys getting packed up in the first corner made for some good battles throughout the races... And it's hard to ignore Marvins MASSIVE lead after Tomac went down. I didn't expect him to hold off Tomac like he did, it was a great ride for him.

 

I want to see Tomacs crash but don't think they captured it. Points aren't as spread out as I thought they would be with Tomac having such a crazy season.

Overall standings in the Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross series as of March 24.
1. Jason Anderson (Husqvarna): 265
2. Marvin Musquin (KTM): 230
3. Justin Brayton (Honda): 210
4. Eli Tomac (Kawasaki): 194
4. Blake Baggett (KTM): 194
6. Weston Peick (Suzuki): 172
7. Broc Tickle (KTM): 165
8. Cooper Webb (Yamaha): 162

 

Yep. I almost feel like MM was going so good, that he would've held Tomac off regardless. but who knows. Either way, he rode a great race. He is really good when the tracks get rutty and rough. His biggest problem is that he won't throw down the gnarly jumps (quads and whatnot) or blitz the whoops as good as some of the other top guys. But none of that was really a factor this week, like it was in the last race. The quads really gave you no advantage it seemed.

 

Who’s ready for a shit show?!

 

What a mess

 

Mud Fest

 

Haha that was actually really awesome! That track was INSANE. It looked like it became more rideable as the night went on... pretty epic finish for Reed!

 

What's the point of a finish line if timing and scoring is 3ft before it? I know it's what they do at every track but it's stupid.

 

That was bullshit. Reed is a little bitch. I always thought you had to get over the finish line jump. I was laughing my ass off seeing him try to push his bike.

 

It's just where the Transponder is located to finish. I believe it is there for some reason relating to the speed needed to clear / not clear the big finish line jump (if it were at the peak or after).

 

Either way it was definitely worth watching that mud fest just to see bitch ass Reed not make the finish.

In my opinion the rule should state clearing the finish line jump to be considered a complete race.

 

It used to but they changed it a couple years ago. I give Reed props for doing his best. He rode a lot better than most of the guys. But I think he has like a 1% chance of ever winning again, which is pretty obvious.
