Im not a real bike fan of any sorts but i took my youngest a few years ago maybe 8 yrs ago and couldnt believe how second rate chad made the other competitors look during the supercross nationals.
He was in a different league but hell i remember his bike smashing corners

LOL. He's like 2nd rate all the time. Second place Chad Reed . LOL At least when he used to place. But that was second to Stewart when he was on fire. Fastest man on the planet. Not anymore. Chad was the only one who could hold a candle to Stewart besides Carmichael til my boy came around. I sure hope Chad tucks one away this year. He's running out of time.

I have a good friend who once made a supercross main, back in Jeremy McGrath's heyday, 15-20 years ago and was on ESPN and everything. He broke his back and pelvis in his early 30s in a wipeout while practicing triples in his back yard, which I witnessed, ending his career. Crazy mfer.

Jeremy McGrath was my guy back in the day! Think he still might be racing cars or something. Used to think I was him ripping on my kx80 as a middle schooler. Lols. Good old days

It's funny you guys say that, cause I loved McGrath too, but the fella I was talking about, plus another friend who was a good amateur, knew him and raced him back in their their early days racing amateur AMA back when McGrath won the 125cc AMA National Championship at Loretta Lynn's. They both hated the guy as a person lol and claimed he was just so so as an amateur. Sounds like sour grapes. My buddy had a different favorite I guess, seeing how he named his son Ezra. :wink:

I am only an hour or so from Loretta's. Probably a less if not for Kentucky Lake/Tennessee River which makes for some long trips around in west KY and TN.
