Who is your favorite mx rider and why?

Question

Who is your favorite mx rider and why?

Answer 1

I would have to pick Josh Hill...We have watched Josh from when he was on 80s and progress to what he is today...He is fun to watch at our home town tracks and the whole Hill Family are really great people..I think we will see great things from Josh in the 2009 Supercross season...

Answer 2

my daughter.....because?? well.... she is my daughter and as har to admit she is faster than me  and Ashley Fiolek.....because she is a class act both on and off the track

Answer 3

My favorite was David Bailey. When he was on he was the best around. Plus he won the triple crown of mx.

Answer 4

Either James Stewart or Jason Lawrence, Bubba's cool because hes just the fricken man he can do anything hes just a beast all day, J-Law is a phenomenal rider he just needs a bit of an attitude change, hes making more enemies than necessary.

Answer 5

Been a little old school, Im going to say Jean . M . Bayle.

What JMB did in his whole motorcycle racing life was amazing, not just on MX bikes but his change to road racing.

A true talent on a whole other level.

Answer 6

Ricky Carmicheal, because he's the greatest of all time and he lets it all hang out when he rides

Answer 7

Well no doubt I will get heaps of thumbs down for this one but I would have to say my son.  Sure he is only a known rider in his own country but hey it is a mothers perogative to pick her own son.  



If I had to choose a rider other than that I guess I would pick from my own country Cheyne Boyd as he is a rider who is consistant and keeps trying no matter what.

On the world stage I would pick James Stewart as I think he will be someone to watch in the future.

Jared you are also right in that the media have not done Chad any favours.  He is not the person portrayed by the media, but unfortunately he comes across as a bit of an **** when he is really a down to earth guy who does find speeches a bit of a problem.  The media have a lot to answer for.  Part of my reason for picking Cheyne Boyd as an Aussie rider is simply as Cheyne is Chads mate and Cheyne never got the break and made it in America.  I know he has tried and even been over and stayed with Chad and raced in America.  But injury and luck have played a part for him.  Cheyne is a really nice guy though.

Answer 8

I would have to say; Chad Reed.  The Internet and the media just destroy him by making him out to be a trash talker and ungrateful for the sport. This is outrageous, I have met Chad on countless occasions, he's a really nice guy. He pushes through some incredible pain every single year he races weather is 3rd degree shoulder separations, Blood in his lungs, Broken Scapulas, ACL tears, or just loosing... every single race. Now he's 3rd on the all time list for supercross wins, and I don't know if anyone was at the supercross banquet but I sympathized for him when he gave his speach about his sacrifices.

Answer 9

It would have to be Don Lichty. He was the most fluid smooth rider of all time.

Answer 10

Ricky and James are the best ever.

I have been pulling for Ferry this year.

The lites guys Dungy and Canard. Dungy is a class act kid and Canard's fathers death just proves how strong he and his mother were to push on and get him to this level.

I think all these lites guys are a great future to look foward to.

Answer 11

Ricky Carmichael because i have followed his riding for years and he's the greatest of all time!
