And I want to know how the hell they manage to pull decent stunts on those heavy pricks. The first ever front flip to be pulled off in competition was accomplished on one of the turds, by an Aussie also (freestyle owners).
And while i've got everyone in the freestyle zone, anyone know when this years freestyle Xgames events are?

If you remember, in 2010 it was basically the same happeneing as in Supercross 03, 04, 05. There was a mix of 2 and 4 stroke machinery and the 4 strokes looked completely rediculous, farting and sputtering about ineptly like pigletts on a buttered cookie sheet. I remember the guys on real bikes screaming and jetting around nimbly, while the 4 stroke pilots looked like they were flogging a sweaty dung beetle, and all their idles were goosed up to like 4,000 r's to try to keep them from stalling. Super advanced Fuel injected shitturds.... The 2 strokes ran circles around them and just made them look BAD in so many ways.
To avoid someting like that happeneing again, a lot of money was thrown around.... the first place money was thrown was at Taddy Blazuziak. They needed to get him on board a FOOPER for 2011 so he wouldn't make the FOOPERS look stupid. Tempting offers are made so that the visible, "Stars" will ride FOOPERS... and say the right things when they are asked, of course.....
Once again, the factories can see that the ONLY way they are going to be able to make 4 strokes look good is to make sure they are the only ones out there. Because when they have to complete with 2 strokes, they are basically a public relations failure... The only way they can be shown in a positive light, and effectively hyped for the public, is if they are only competing with their own type.

The 2010 X Games were disasterous for the FOOPERS.... And due to the very large audience that event draws, it is VERY important to the Motocycle Manure-Fart-Surers...

Couldnt say it better mate. Not only do they have to compete against their own type the track has to be dumbed down or they'll be over the side of berms every time. So now that the assholes have not only gotten rid of the real machines, they've halved the size of all obstacles to allow the dumpers lap times to even come close to a 250 smoker's

If you can't beat em, buy em
Truedat'
FONDA was scared of Cedric, so they bought him... and he went into the ground on the Dumper. I hope he miks them for all the money he can get and then jumps ship back to a real bike.
Tell you the truth, it seems like a great mechanism for fast amateurs to get themselves signed up... Just get get out there on a two stroke and give some FOOPERS a black eye in front of the public, and they swoop in to buy you out... Next thing you know... you're a well payed FOOPERTROOPER...
Once that happens, do you part for the cause and blow the thing up on live TV.

You're right...dolled up YZ250s with "look at me" graphics kits are becoming a marketing tool for amateurs trying to get noticed.
