Ive watched the first 2 episodes of redbull ex-fighters - its supposedly the biggest freestyle motocross competition in the world
anyway Nate Adams won it the last 2 years on a 2 stroke, the only 4 stroke rider was Levi Sherwood, who after his first season turned back up on a 2 stroke last year...
This year Nate decided to try for a 'record breaking' 3rd win and this year turned up on a 4 stroke (Honda - yes be afraid, be very afraid, hondas have not been involved in Xfighters since they stopped selling 2strokes - and watch the rest of this post to find out why)
First episode in Dubai, Adams wasnt very good and he didnt land his jumps very well he was all over the place, he was given 3rd overall.
Today I watched the Brazil stage (second event) Adams got to the final on his 4 stroke with Robbie Maddison and Maddison KILLED HIM - Madison was faultless in his run with some amazing tricks, Adams didnt do anything to match Maddison, just to make it CLEAR the comentator was saying as it happened that Adams didnt get his tricks out as they should have, I have it playing here on record - this is the comentator during Adams Final run 'oh but that weak cliffhanger flip he's still bent at the waist I dont know why he's having troubles maybe the switch to the 4 stroke has kind of changed the game for him a little bit' - 'here he takes off the arms but watch this, he checks the bars, that counts against him when you saw the stage dive from Maddison no bar check he just landed it - I dont really think Nate has executed the last couple of tricks that well but this one certainly huge with the sidewinder'
Does that sound like the commentary from the winner of the final?
noooo - but guess what he won. oh what a suprise. Why? oh apparently after all his mistakes (maddison did none) he pulled a few old school tricks in the last 30 seconds which clinched the win. BOLLOCKS! Nate Adams FAILED FAILED FAILED but he won the event.
Anyone who said about the conspiracy theries not being right, well guess what - we are watching a great example of a 2 stroke dominated event being wretchedly taken over by this 4 stroke CRAP - so I wanted to let you all know - (and its Honda doing it) - with Nate Adams in tow - I really hate that he did this.
Anyway this is 100% for real so I can hopefully find some youtube links to show you this abomenation so you can see for yourself!!!
