    yeah that made me laugh too. They're dicks, worked out well though RV2 got some more points hopefully he wins. good to see RD and TC in top 5 too.

    you really think so, the way i see it js7 never took 22 line , he stuck it in there and turned it on the inside of reed, wat reed did was a straight out ride up the inside and basicly stop in front of js7, thats not a block pass thats just a block! if reed had left another foot of room on the outside js would have smoked him down that next section and on to the win, if anything i think we;ve seen the end of js7 playing with these guys, the only race we;ll be watching now is all the chumps racing for second!

    Thats just racing, its a block pass and its all what its all about. I used to hate reed and think Stewart was all right, but I'm slowly turning that around. Stewart is a bit of an arrogant cock.

    Ive always thought that of Reed, but I have to admit when it come to racing he has the skills.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    Agreed oldguy!! He does have skills and seems to be the only one that can keep up with JS on that track o the night!
    Also Agree I don't like Reed very much, the interviews I've seen he has been a bit of a cock!

    Well my many years race track experience Piting and racing (not in MX though) tell me with the Bubba move he pushed it to and past the limits just leaving enough space/contact/force for everyone to stay upright! He used his team mate and everything else in his box of tricks but only rode into it hard enough for it to have a good chance of it being successful!

    After it I think Reed saw red and simply got desperate his move left no tolerance for success for either of them and hoped the toss of the coin would go his way! A lot more desperate in my view!

    Actually Bubbas reaction of "I was silly to go that wide and leave the door open for a move like that" instead of a tantrum over it ups him in my view! Respect to him for that!

    Anyway just my take on it I see it more as telliman does!

    that is a block pass, a block pass means you block the other riders line, yes Reeds was much more aggressvie than sstewarts, but if Reed had kept on the gas we would have hit stewart, as his bike was in the line reed would have taken,

    if Reed had left a foot room on the outside, he would have not put a block pass,

    it was not a blantent take out, those are when you hit the guy before he turns, or while he is doing it, Stewart may not have seen reed come up the inside, but he should have,

    Thanks for putting that up Scotty!
    Bit of a learning curve for us that have never raced top MX. I guess we thought that sorta pass leaving no room what so ever was a bit on the nose but if its all part of the cut and thrust of MX then alls fair in love and war I suppose.
    I guess the fine line is not taking yourself out when you do it.

    Of all of us on here you should know. Thanks for the input!

    !
    We all know these two hate each others guts and don't it make for better racing when they finally get a chance to mix it up?Something I reckon is not encouraged by the design of indoor supercross tracks...sure the skills shown is epic to watch but after a holeshot or block pass the actual battle is usually over and everyone watches the leader disappear.

    Read a great quote by 1979 500 champ Graham Noyce recently "The modern tracks are shit,not like the old natural ones.Once you've learned to jump,thats it.These days the riders spend so long in the air it ruins the racing.You can't do fuck all in the air other than clean your goggles and fiddle with your knob".

    Classic! I must say...I've always loved doing TT's off road, and VMX tracks remind me of that too. Nothing beats a road race track in the dirt for good high speed fun!

    i think Mr Noyce needs to watch some modern racing, with scrubbing becoming popular and different rythem lanes jumping is part of supercross, there is a heck of a lot of skill in racing,

    Bikes have changed hugely as well, in Mr Noyce's time you would not have been able to jump things as your bike would have broken,

    Mr Noyce deserve's respect for his acheivements, but you saw Stewart check out because he could jump a section no one else could,
