How many Southerners want to venture north to watch Bubba ride?

[090]

Should be easy to get my money back as the draw card has pulled out 
Wonder how many people have organised to come from afar for this.

[vandy010]

i'm already there...
got my tickets in the cheap stands.
as much as i'd like to see the Aussies do well, i reckon Bubba's gonna have thier measure...
last years event/track was worth every cent and i'll keep going each year as the sport grows here in Oz.
see you there boys...

Looking on other mx forums people are not happy little Vegemites, as they have booked flights etc Glad we are keeping ours for vmx     Will the top vmx nat riders be there in 2010    
You'd think he would be over his stomach bug in 5 odd weeks.Suppose he wants to stay home and get it on for the US events and take the fully monty for 2010 season. 
cheers

I bet that there is alot more to this story than we are hearing.
Its hard to believe that an athlete at the top of his sport with millions of $ and all the trainers ,doctors, dieticians etc behind him  can suddenly discover that his ammune system is compromised.
It would be interesting to hear some comments from Gally about all this , especially since he had a falling out with the Stewart Family.
IMO all the people who were going just because of Budda have got it all wrong.Those people should still go to see the Racing and support our guys.
Im not out to upset anyone but I've never been a huge fan of Budda's.He's a great rider of course but IMO lacks maturity and mental toughness, he 's still like a kid to me ( sorry)
I saw him get beat by Everts at MXdN in 06 .Everts passed him on the biggest most rutted of camber on the track without taking a foot of the pegs an Budda says that he wasn't trying to win individually only do enough for the team win.Yer right .

Okay go ahead guys start bashing me now .I can take it.

bruce may be he was scared of you coming out of retirement on the red devil

Quote:There’s a good chance now that Stewart’s out,” said McGrath, who rides for Woodstock Honda Thor Racing while he’s down under. “I’ve told Yarrive [Konsky, WHTR team owner] and Mal [Peter, Super X general manager] that I’d do it, so it just depends on whether they get some other current big guy.

“I’d do it. I mean, Brisbane’s awesome and was fun last year, so now that I’m riding a little better it’d be fun for sure. Part of my heart is Australian so it would be good to be here. I’m keen to do it, so we’ll see.”

The immune system thing...... maybe it's like Casey Stoner's mystery illness? I think the reality is that he isn't feeling 100% and these other "jobs", (Bercy and Australia) was just pocket money to him. He wouldn't want to risk the BIG PICTURE ($) and not be ready for AMA SX starting in January.

Yer you are right about all that and the BIG PICTURE($) but pulling out of Bercy on the last night is strange.He was already there.
Still dont understand how he could get to that point.Whats he been doing since SX season ended?
On the other hand IMO Casey Stoner was wornout/stressed out and needed a break.I can't see how Bubba would need a break when he hasn't done much since end of May.But I take your points.

Would love a fast feedback report on how Matt Moss goes on the RMz ... 
vandy010.... enjoy   
cheers

Moss can look forward to great support from a partisan crowd, with organisers confident of record attendance for an Australasian Super X event with more than 22,000 tickets already sold.

Interesting

50k for Chads forks----fork hope they win him 

Matt Moss picks up a 2nd..Go the Aussies..
Go Dan love those quiet achievers .....

The second and third place must be awesome to be watching.. ....on the seat stuff waiting for the results to come in....lucky buggers to be there.

[vandy010]

Matt Moss was quick not doubt about it and possibly as fast as Reed.
unfortunately he threw it away in the whoops in the 2nd final and got carted off by the medics.
Reed went 3 from 3.
Reardon looked the goods but had a tangle with Moss in one of the races that put him back a little.
Marmont was up there also.
Millsaps was better than i thought he would be with solids 2nds to Reed and both he and Reardon were the only 2 guys i saw doing a tricky jump at the end of a fast sweeper.
Josh Grant appparently went down hard in practise {i never saw it}, he won his heat race, got a bad start in the first final in about 7th~ish and then i lost him after that. he must've called it a night. shamme, cause i was hoping to see more of him.
young P.J. Larson from the states took a while to find his rythm but went quite well also.
about all i'm thinking of right now. kind of tired and full of junk food.

Was also impressed with the privateer in the open class,never heard of him before, but spent most of the night floating around in the top 5,he was seriously pumped in the interview after the first final, don't think he'll be a privateer for long.
Loved the format, individual timed laps to determine grid selection, and three 7 lap finals.

[JohnnyO]

P.J.Larson was the privateer, there are plenty more like him in the US.
It was dissapointing Josh Grant pulled out of the finals, he would've really given Reed a run. Not sure what happened to him.

[evo550]

No, it wasn't PJ Larson, he was an Aussie, surname started with 'S", he caught and passed Larson in one moto. In the first final he was rubbing plastic with Marmont and Millsap for a few laps. He was fast but didn't seem to be riding over his head, seemed very comfortable at that pace.
Number 24 I think
