im not impressed with him at all. but man, i do wish i could ride a bike like him. his skills are above most if not everyone out there. thats for sure. but i will never cheer for him, hell, i still give him the finger when he comes by on the triples. someone who is as cocky or rude or disrespectful as he is to kids, its not something i will ever cheer for. but he is the fastest dude out there. im just saying, who knows by how much this time around. reed was close at ALOT of venues.

anyone hear anything about the second suzuki rider? i thought they would have picked up someone by now. . but when i read the quick interview of daryn durham, he mentioned he will most liekly be going back to a suzuki. could it be the 250z ride at the factory tent? and why the hell is chad still not working on his starts? thats what cost him the series for the first 6 or seven races mainly. i would devote 2 days a week to that man. but thats just me.

thats what i thought, but i guess not. i would think matt lemoine or kyle regal would be a pretty good pick. but, i dont know how kyle would do on a 250z. hes kind of a bigger dude.

Has he been disrespectful to kids? I've been out of touch with the Speed Channel and MX world for a little while. Did something go down?

i witnessed it myself at a1 in 2005. he was walking around his truck area and i couple kids were just pumped to see him. one of them asked, BUBBA, CAN I HAVE AN AOUTOGRAPH ON MY SHIRT? he looks at the kid straight in the face and says, YOU GOT $20? swear to god, i walked away right there. regardless if its a joke, he needs to be a bigger person then that. i can say that it seems he toned it down after rc4 whooped up on him a few times, but its still something i wont ever forgive. i mean, the kid was just confused!! he was maybe 10 or 11 years old. its just not right man. so, thats my reasons for my thoughts. even reed, after he loses, he says NOT RIGHT NOW GUYS. thats more respectable then YOU GOT $20?

Wow, that's extremely idiot-like. I can't believe he would do that to a kid.

I think everyone has thier good times and bad times, I have heard simular stories about most of all of the riders. RC has been known to be mean... along with Stewart, and one time I waited 2 hours after the race for Reed to come out of his Rig (I have passes to get back into pits after race, riders usually go into the rig for a while and come out to sign autographs) and he ignored all of us and walked into his Motorhome, and his crew said he wasn't going to come back out... but I've also had the same cirumstance with Stewart too, never with RC though. Also I have heard of people that don't like K-Dub for simular situations (God forbid, DiRT! K-Dub! LoL)
I think when you constantly have THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of people constantly DEMANDING something from you, always wanting something and practically worshiping you, it would get to you. I don't think any of us were ever made to recieve that constant type of demandings... no matter what situation they are in, they are still human.
This past year Stewart signed 7 of my Stewart hotwheels toys, a couple of posters and then after the race came out and signed my fiance's T-shirt and talked to her briefly... that Honestly made her SX experience and made me happy... now that is not the same Stewart that I remember back when he was on the 125's and I waited for him for 3 hours along with a handfull of other people and he told us all that there would be no autographs.
I think that people can change, and everyones experiences are different, so there is no reason to hold them to any higher of a standard regardless of what possition they are in, because they are still human and still have good days and bad days and or could be bummed about the race that night.
People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, but People will never forget how you made them feel.
One of the reasons I am such a huge K-Dub fan is that I spent 45 minutes with him (just him and I) talking at Unadilla at his rig in 2003 (when he handed RC his stuff both motos ;D) Since then K-Dub has ALWAYS recognized me, asked me how I was doing, and usually gives me 6 plus posters signed, and always takes pictures. This is an experience that brought a feeling that I will never forget. My fiance is a fan of Stewarts for how he has treated her and how she felt after the whole experience, I am a huge fan of RC because how he has made me feel, and I have never had a bad experience with him.
