i really like pastrana hes my fav rider. i just hate the fact that he rides a RM does anyone else like him. or who is your fav rider?  

yeah he is one of the greatest, but he should be on a CR or SX  

why would he go from an ok bike to a piece of crap he shud ride yamaha

Okay if he rides a 2 stroke he should be on a YZ or SX but, if he rides a 4 stroke he should be on a CRF or a YZ-F. and has far as my rider I really don't care about MX or SX since RC went to suzuki.And in GNCC I don't care as long as it ain't a KTM. And I wish pastrana would do the double backflip in competition.   

Pastrana is my hero.  I wish I had the curage and skill that he has.  I love watching free style.  The amazing thing about him, is as crazy as he is in X games, he can fly on the track too.  I don't know if any of you have seen the race in austra where 1,500 riders start and only 35 finish, but he was leading the entire race with a 6 minute lead until he got his bike stuck in a tree and he still got it out and finished 18th.  That is amazing.

yeah i think i saw that wasnt it in the desert?  

Your hero? Gotta say... I didn't see that one coming. I love TP, he's awesome, but I guess I just wouldn't have pegged you as one of his biggest fans.

Here's a new question: Who do you think is one of the greatest all-around riders?

Travis to me is one of, if not, the best all around riders period. I know his racing isn't what it was a few years ago, but his free style abilitys have always been either dominate or right at the top. Also, he's the nicest guy you could meet, big points there. Oh, I don't care what kind of bike he, or anyone rides, but look how long he's been with suzuki. Thats good loyalty.  

i do  

Thats a tough question.  Current or all time?  You don't see many riders trying other forms of racing, they all seem to be stuck in one genre these days.  It just seems to me that TP can do it all.  I was really impressed by his showing at Eressburg (I have no idea how to spell that race in Austria), plus he has a lot of tallent in Supercross, Nationals, Super Moto, and he even placed 4th in a rally car race a few months ago.  Ward is still the man and Nicole can do it all too.  I don't watch enough all around racing because my focus is always on Freestyle and MX, but I would have to say TP is still probably my favorite all around rider.  I just wish he would stay healthy so he could compete in MX sometime soon.  We all know he's the man at freestyle, hopefully he can change his focus back to racing MX and SX again.

Exactly right.  

A while back, Dirt Rider named the best all-around riders and one of them they named was Jimmy Lewis (before he started working for us)! I'm just talking present time... I don't know about all those old guys; I wasn't there! ha ha

A lot of people say Ty Davis is one of the best. He's one of the few with motocross and off-road National titles. I don't know if you'd know him, but I think David Knight is one of the best. He's still young and considered an up-and-comer (in Europe). He started off in trials, switched to Enduro and now he seems to be doing everything. He won the Hell's Gate enduro, one of those crazy European races like Erzberg, except only five guys finished... five! He also won Erzgerg in front of Juha Salminen, and he always wins the indoor enduros in Spain (EnduroCross). The guys is awesome and his career is just getting started.

in response to TurnerJ's question, i would have to say...   ME DUH!!!

hehe. im just kidding. i dont really have an answer to her question. i would have to think about it.

i dont know if Travis is my hero, but he is a very talented rider. he does everything he can possibly try. but it seems to me that he is always getting hurt. maybe im wrong. i dont really follow him that much. but i do like his name. well, just his first name because it is the same as mine. lol. im so dumb.

i would have guessed that secondstring would have chose davi as his hero. i think that is who he was posting about a little while ago.

i dont know why, but i like watching kevin windham ride. even though he isnt the best, i think he is skilled. and i really like malcom smith. he has accomplished a lot in his many many years of riding.

He's always getting hurt because he never lets up freestyling and is always trying new things.  I don't think he has an ounce of fear in him when it comes to freestyle.

He should be on an sx definitely. Just like Bartram!
