ThisJustIn: MX/SX

Started a blog to talk about the sport I love. if you love supercross and motocross follow me to talk all things racing related.

@kellenbrauer This is the 2nd time in two seasons that Jo has gotten hurt while holding the red plate before the gate even drops.

Pit Board takes him out after winning A1, and now a pretty mild looking fall takes his collar bone one weekend after getting the red plate for the first time

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@pulpmx @PulpMXFantasy Is there a red plate curse agaisnt Jo?

Wins A1 last season and then a pit board takes him out while having the red plate.

Now, has the red plate for the first time this season and a pretty mild looking crash breaks his collar bone.

@soloveloc @LewisPhillips71 Signed with Honda through next year

@djackson81392 @thall767 If you need podium interviews to find the sport interesting then you aren’t a real fan of the sport

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@djackson81392 @thall767 That would be a fine excuse if Jett was the only guy he was losing to, but Hunter has also been better than Deegan in every single moto so far this season.

You can’t talk about how you’re gonna come right in and win and then be a distant 3rd

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@JaxonSmithSZN @TheJesseJames55 @lottanoise0906 @Josh_Wahlers Jett’s main competition was Hunter

The only year Hunter and Deegan raced Hunter dominated

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@MxReference The answer is surprisingly obvious from reading this and it is obviously Dungey.

Stew has the worst case. You can’t just say “he was hurt” while ignoring that him riding over his head was the reason he was hurt. Not crashing is a skill, and Stew might be the worst ever at that

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@CactiTiger @MxReference Why Dungey over RV? Their careers played out simultaneously and Dungey never once beat a healthy RV in a series

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@mc72888 @MxReference In seasons that they competed H2H Dungey finished ahead of Stewart EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don’t care how much you changed the sport, you can’t be ranked higher than someone you literally never beat in a series

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@DrJayBee @MxReference Who cares?? Pastrana had a bigger impact than Carmichael. Should that give him a spot?

The reality is that these guys are paid to win titles, and Stew underachieved at that more than any rider in the sports history. He often rode way over his head and crashed. That’s on him

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@joshimoda @foxracing These kits would be a close 2nd and 3rd to round out the podium.

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@joshimoda @foxracing They have all been good, but this is my personal fav.

Red boots with the custom painted helmet looked great

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@pulpmx maybe the Maple Leafs aren’t cursed?

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@mc72888 @kellenbrauer Tbf, last season he wins A-1 and then gets injured by a pit board and this season he breaks his neck in the offseason and isn’t even close to full strength when the season starts

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@laxdefensecoach @LewisPhillips71 Nope. That argument lost all credibility after SMX. Despite HD making multiple greaseball moves to try to get him to crack he was excellent

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@LewisPhillips71 He’s the fastest guy in the East, but he continues to hurt himself. The loss in Arlington wasn’t his fault, the red light screwed him, but tonight he should’ve easily been the highest finishing rider on his coast

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@Bones_338 Blaming Cooper for this might be the single stupidest take I’ve ever heard

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@pulpmx What he did was no worse than what Tomac just did to Cooper. You and I both know that there will be no penalty issued to Eli.

They pick and choose when to enforce rules and when not to

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@dbo360x @Woodsman602 They did run these a few years back if this is why you’re thinking of. Although I guess these wouldn’t technically follow the no red rule that the original post was asking about

[ThisJustIn: MX/SX @TJI_MX]

@TreyCanard I honestly cannot figure out why this is a controversy. Like, what is the argument for not punishing Brown? I’m genuinely asking.

He CLEARLY jumps on red and gains a massive advantage because of it. Why are Star riders held to different rules??
