windham was trying to get OFF the honda actually. he doesnt like it. so he was looking for a different ride. unfortunately, not alot of people consider him a podium threat anymore. kinda hard to push for a new ride with this crazy ass silly season.

Yeah, should be good ;D I think K-Dub is realizing most of the riders that you can't just "Expect" that there is going to be a ride waiting for you when your contract comes up, they say you don't know what you have until it is gone, or when you almost lose it. Looks like he is taking this season seriously. I am sure he will be a top contendor, I still don't think anyone is going to be able to touch Stewart in the championship hunt ;D RV2 should do better this year. From video I have seen of Reed, I don't think he looks as good as he did on his Suzuki. Should be an interesting season ;D

yea, i think reed was alot better on the zooki then th kawi thus far. i mean, at the u.s. open last year, he looked pretty comfortable right away. but this kawi, kinda looking a bit timid or nervous to be charging into the corners like he was during supercross. but hey, maybe he just needs to get more seat time. he is riding alot better as far as overall aggression. hell, he took the outdoors!! i know i know, some people weren't there, but thats not reeds excuse. he cant control them, only they can. so, i am proud of his determination and belief that he can beat stewart. if he didnt, there would be no reason to watch supercross. everyone else seems to give up when stewart races. its kinda lame really. then ytou got rv2 looing good already, and justin brayton on a great team with josh grant, short, windham, hopefully byrne, ferry, milsaps (if he tries), hill (if he can get a start once in a while), reardon... it should be good. i just wonder what coast pourcel, canard, barcia, izzi, stroupe, and alot of others are running. canard is resigned with geico and doing one more year on the 250f. hes pushing for west. looking forward to it.
sxcory, we going to all 3 anaheims and san diego? i am man. maybe phoenix too. i also got word of possibly doing indiannapolis. but not likely.

Yeah, I deffinatly agree... when People race Stewart... they just give up, well at least now a days... RC never backed down, Reed used too but doesn't anymore... I have mad respect for Reed simply because he is the only guy that is willing to step his game up and TRY to challenge Stewart. RV though doesn't seem to be too intemidated! I am hoping for some good racing this year ;D It is no fun just watching a run away (sometimes). I mean it is just awesome to see Stewart ride period... but it is nice to have the racing.
It kinda reminds me of racing against Cory on Unleashed... made you wonder why you even showed up to the race ;D

lol. for sure. although, i felt like i was the reed this last series and i was giving it all i had. i know its not proven, but man, i was ready to actually try my butt off and put it to him at austin. i was running low 50's each lap and a 51 to 52 with a crash. i thinki touched a 49 once, but dont quote me on that.
now that im thinking about it mor. i really just dont think that stewart has as easy of a year for his title coming up. i mean, reeds very motivated to get him within the next 2 years before he retires, rv2 is going to be right there a few times to at least give fits. plus, if it comes down to stewart having a bad race at the title deciding round, and reed gets the start just behind rv2, rv is liable to move over for him. he did it before with langston to help out a teamate. then you got dungey who is right up there with speed and definitley hardwork. josh grant could be a spoiler in the podium mix up. all reed needs to do is gets his freaking starts down. i mean, halfway through last year (2009) that was his biggest downfall in hte beginning of the season. but hey, you never know. maybe im just hoping for someone to take it to him. lol.

Yamaha is smelling like a rose this season. #33 will be bringing the heat too this season. Will Honda make the podium in the 450 class?

Stewart lost by one point after not racing the main event due to food poisoning. Still don't change the fact that he put a beat down on those guys, he was 2 second a lap faster

yea 2 secs. a lap faster, man that just sux. why cant anybody step up and go faster. i just hate it for the fans that want to see close racing, kinda reminds me of that guy that always raced the beginners class and would never move up. lol i know it cant be fixed but it has been 20 years and we havent had any close racing. you had mcgrath then carmichael and now stewart. ive never seen a sport where one man could be so dominant. thank goodness for the lites class.

YEA I AGREE. I THINK THAT STEWART IS THE FASTEST/ MOST DETERMINED DUDE OUT THERE. HIS TIME ON THE BIKE TRANSLATES TO HIS VICTORIES FROM HIS WHOLE LIFE. NOW THAT I SAW REED AND CARMICHAEL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO BATTLE WITH HIM TO THE BEST OF THERE ABILITIES, I CANT SAY THAT RV2 (NEW RC4) AND CHAD ARE GOING TO JUST RELAX WHEN THEY GET INTO SECOND PLACE THIS COMING YEAR. BUT OUTSIDE OF THEM 2 AND MAYBE DUNGEY BECAUSE HES EXTREMELY MOTIVATED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, I WILL BE WATCHING METCALF AND IZZI AND THE OTHERS FIGHT FOR EVERY SPOT AND POINT.

DUNGEY will be #5 this year according to the ama, a TON of lites riders changed their numbers... check motocross.transworld.net/news/ama-announces-2010-national-numbers/ to see the whole list. I know people like to see racing, but hey, I just find it amazing to watch someone like JS7 ride a dirtbike, and what he does... it still amazes me every time ;D
