Going for the W: Justin Barcia

Riders

Justin Barcia is two riders in one. Yes, he’s got the reputation as the hard-hitting, bar banging aggressive guy, but he’s never mean spirited about it. To him, even the nasty stuff is just fun—there’s never anger behind those bumps and bangs. He also has the reputation as the high-revving, wide-open charger, but he also hasn’t had many big crashes and has been relatively injury free since hitting the pro scene in May 2009.

But his ride for the win over the weekend in Houston was still the talk of the town, mainly because he and Dean Wilson engaged in a crazy block-pass fest, going back and forth on a track were it was supposed to be impossible to go back and forth. The straddled that fine line between aggressive and dirty. Just the type of conundrum Barcia likes.

“It was definitely a crazy race,” says Barcia. “We battled back and forth, and I thought it was good riding for the both of us. It’s going to be a fun season for sure if we get to do that again. It was intense, no doubt about it.”

Yup, just a bunch of block-passes and near misses. Barcia shrugs it off, leaves it on the track and comes back for more the next week.

“That’s exactly how it should be,” he says. “I like the bar-banging action and I think you should just leave it on the track. I don’t think anything about this race should ruffle anyone’s feathers. At least, that’s the way I see it. I’ve been reading some interviews and stuff with another guy and it seems like he was a little more upset about it.”

The someone is Wilson. No doubt, Barcia and Wilson want to beat each other, badly, but Barcia says there isn’t a history of bad blood between them.

“Yeah I don’t know what it is. It just started when we both showed up on the East Coast last year for our rookie years,” he explains. “We never had problems as amateurs or anything like that. I guess it’s just that he was a good amateur with a good pro ride, and I was a good amateur with a good pro ride, so we just knew we’d have to be battling each other. It seemed to take off from there.”

Barcia came into Houston as one of the favorites for the title. However in practice, his number 17 was nowhere to be seen near the leaders, (he was merely eighth fastest overall), but once the races began, he won his heat race and won the main event.

“Yeah that’s what everyone kept saying to me after practice. “You okay? You good? I can throw down a fast lap, but practice sometimes I struggle a little. Especially on a track like that. It was slick and it was tight. The slick tracks, that’s usually not so good for me, but I’ve been working on it.”

You’d think Barcia, with his rep for huge scrubs and revs and big risks would love to light it up in practice. Not so.

“When the gate drops, that’s the part where Justin Barcia comes out,” he says with a laugh.

The East Region Lites pack has a weekend off before their chase resumes in Atlanta. When we called him on Wednesday afternoon, Barcia was out prepping his new track in Madison, Florida. Up until last year, Barcia was a model student of the MTF (Millsaps Training Facility). His relationship with MTF severed, though, and he spent most of the summer finding a new place to ride and train. He finally settled on buying some land of his own right on the boarder of Florida and Georgia, getting Jason Baker from Dreamtracks to build a supercross track for him. Since then, he’s been pounding the laps. Barcia said he would have been ready if he had been tabbed to ride the West Region, but when he stayed East, he just kept working.

He even asked his team if he could race a 450 out West. “Yeah I wanted to!” he says. “There was a lot of talk about it. I was talking to the team, really hoping they would let me do it. It didn’t work out but it would have been fun.”

Block pass, ram, hit, and bash all you want. Dude never seems mad about it.

And also risky. But here’s the thing about Barcia: For all of his crazy antics, he’s been healthy for the most part throughout his pro run. “Yeah it's been pretty good,” he says. “I went to Bercy and that went really well, I won that. Before the season I only had like two sketchy crashes, and I was fine. I’m kind of all over the place out there, but I do everything I can to just save it and stay on that bike. That’s when things start to get bad.”

He’s the guy who hangs it out, but also doesn’t log fast laps in practice, and hasn’t had a rash of injuries. He’s the guy who will ram right into you, but he’s not a guy who holds a grudge. In fact, Barcia is quick to point out even Houston’s block-pass fest isn’t the way he wants to approach it anymore.

“I was definitely not trying to hit anyone this weekend just to run into them,” he explains. “The way the track was, you had to stick it in there in you wanted to make a pass. And when someone passes you, passing them right back is definitely the goal.”

Then Barcia ends it with some shocking news for someone with his reputation. “Really, I am trying to be calmer this year. I like having bar banging action, yeah, but this year my goal is to not take anyone out.”

I've always thought Barcia would be the next JS7. He has style for sure and if you watch the guy train you will bet he is the fastest guy on a bike. I just dont know why he is not the main guy yet but he did seem to be in control at Houston.. He opened up a 6 sec lead from Malcolm in the heat race.. Malcolms debut was okay except for the main race. Would be interesting to watch rookies battle pro's . Malcolm is a rookie but I saw potential at Houston. he needs experience at this level and he will be up there. He should anyways with a track so sick at home.

Someone's talking lap times here. BArcia was 5th fastest lap times??? If he's so bad and rides like such a man than why wasn't he the fastest. I'm a Kawi guy, guess you could say. rode for Team grean since i was six. I'm a huge DArryn Durham fan. Like to see him win more so than DEan. Block passing is racing, getting landed on is another. Maybe if you keyboard racers had to deal with this kid , you'd know where i'm coming from. I think shorty's one of the dirtiest also. U gonna hate me for that. Oh, and he came from PC too fAgg. BArcia never rode Stroupie dirty last year... Why BARTMAN???? Dean will be healthy by next week and when his fast time and average times are number 1 and your buttdart barcia is in 5th we'll talk. Actually it'll be 8th, because Sipes, Jason anderson and PJ larsen will smoke barcia.

When I saw the still photos of the flat-black helmet #17 is wearing it came to me. "Intimidator", that's who it reminded me of. Barcia should totally rock that look and (taking it a step further) go for the #3 when he has his shot @ a permanent #. The Black Knight, Black Bart, Man in the Black Hat and The Intimidator....oh and Pantera singing "Bad guys, wear Black!!!" .................or "Beast from the East 2" will do. Either way, I dig his program but, I also understand he is a polarizing individual. Hey, they can't all be Dungeys & Canards.

what you talking about ALEX? Hanny never rode anyone dirty... The worst pass he did was on Eli Tomac and sorry to say but that was the only passing spot on that whole track. It was a One liner. I think hanny took out Craig in qualifying at a1. that was the first turn, thats like saying that james stewart tried to take himself and the rest of the field at houston. WAit 2 weeks, Barcia's gonna be in 5th like he belongs. Somebody's gonna get mad and eventually punt him into the bleachers. Good thing Martin DAvalos is on the west coast. Martin Isn't gonna take that from that kid. Fans like this kid because of his panic revs and scrubs. Riders hate this kid because he'll land on you without mercy. And People thought Ken Rock was gonna get people hurt. Somebody needs to put this kid in check. He needs to shave that nutsack looking chin

At least thats the way youre actin by you downing all this good racing. Sounds to me like when you were on 50's you were bullied around by a faster rider hahaha wimp.

There are many times on a tight track or a must win race where do what ya gota do but he rides like that all the time I guess. RD should learn from him a little, He is a 180 from JB IMO.. to nice on the track. Mix them togther and wow!! LOL

Don't change a thing, Barcia! I love bar-banging action too. If Wilson doesn't like a healthy, fun, bar-banging race, I just lost a lot of respect for him. This isn't tennis.

The difference between Barcia and Stewart is that Stewart will land on guys like a TARD-RE, stuff lappers and act like he's an entitled bully, holding a race card, then he'll wear anti-white pants that say freakin' BRO' SHOW, which is a total slap in the face of Johnny O'Mara, one of the legends of American motocross, a class act - and conversely, Barcia just fights like hell to win. Therefore, I don't respect Stewart, but I respect Barcia.

When I was pro, I loved bar-banging action and a good, competitive battle for the win. The race that was most fun was one where I had tire marks on both legs after the race. YEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAW! Those races were the best times of my LIFE!

Races like that are a spectator's dream! Keep it up, Barcia, you're breathing life into the 250 class, where otherwise the 450s will get all the publicity!

I just watched the race last night and I was more worried about them landing on each other than getting hurt from the love taps in the turns. Hell, the dirtiest move I saw in that race was when Sipes completely cleaned out Wharton.

The best think I take away from the Houston race and the bar banging that happened between Barcia and Wilson is that Barcia is in Wilson's head now. If you watched all the post race interviews on all the sites and TV that's all Wilson could talk about. He even said he was Barcia's *****. That reminds me of the old times when Ricky Johnson used to do stuff to his closest competitors right before the gate dropped. Racers are the biggest thinkers and when you get into someone's head it makes it that much harder to be on your own game plan. Well done Barcia. It was said higher up in the posts and I agree. I'm a fan of all these racers. Even the guy that doesn't even make it into the main, at least they had the balls to go out and try which is more than many people can say.

Just watched the Houston lites race again. Looks like Barcia got Wilson to ride so hard and aggressive the first 5 laps that the arm pump was to much. Wilson had 10 more laps to catch Barcia. He was 2 to 3 seconds back the whole time. I only saw one pass by Barcia that was a little touchy. I thought Wilson gave back as much as he got. He just couldn't afford another battle with that arm pump to challenge Barcia for the lead again. Good lesson learned for Wilson and a good stradegy from Barcia. Can't wait for the next one.

Those that bash Barcia's lap times are clueless. Fastest lap times don't win races. Both Barcia and Millsaps (who had the fastest lap) are proof of that. One fast lap doesn't win the race. And as far as Hanny goes he rarely if ever passes without taking someone high in a turn. PS..can't wait for Wilsons voice to mature-lol.

I read this comment on the other website. It appalls me how some people think they can criticize a rider with as much skill as K-Dub!

UpNorth · 1 day ago

When Windham came up short he hit the gas off the top of that box instead of chopping the throttle and rolling down the backside nice and safe. If you watch closely Trey made the same mistake on the same rhythm... he tried tripling onto to the box like Windham did, came up short like Windham did but instead of hitting the gas off the top of the box like Wondham did, Trey simply chopped the throttle and rolled down the backside. It was an exact replay of Windhams mistake except Trey pulled off the recovery.

So here was my reply to him:

Hey UpNorth, you need to move south, I think your brain may be frozen!! I have the race on DVR and watched the two incidences several times. They are not even comparable, and has no validity whatsoever. Canards front tire plowed hard into the face of the step-on, which took all his momentum. Where K-Dubs rear tire just clips the face. K-Dub would have easily made it to the next step-on, but when he gasses it, his rear tire dropped left into a rut and spun, which sent him off a little sideways. When he landed his right foot slipped off the peg, and then he whiskey throttled it. So next time you are going to critique the worlds smoothest rider, please give him the benefit of the doubt and do your homework!!

How can anyone try to tell the most competent rider in the world how to pull off a recovery?????
Sorry I just had to share that with you. I don't think we have anybody on this site with that level of ignorance!!!!!!!!

People are quick to call Deano a pu$$y just because he said something and mentioned coming off an injury. He is a fast and clean racer. Nothing wrong with aggression, but I can see how he's pissed when 3 laps into the series Barcia goes inside and they collide in the air entering a rhythm section and get squirrely. I do think Wilson will prove to be faster, smarter and more consistent than Barcia in this series and I think all of these younger 250 guys are capable of delivering Barcia some of his own medicine. It's coming for sure. One round down and Barcia has basically called everyone out to punt him off the track already. We'll see how much he thinks it's racing when he's on the receiving end and if he deals with it like he dishes it out, then props to Barcia. The east is going to be intense that's for sure, and I think this could be Sipes' year to surprise.

Hey Retardcross, I think Sipes will suprise also. But as far as dogging on Barcia for rough play then playing up on Sipes after his move on wharton??, I'm confused.....and none of the passes Barcia pulled off were nearly as nasty as Sipes'. Not really sure why Ryan did that. It's not his style.

I dont think Barcia is dirty.. He is very aggresive, and will rub, but I dont think he will put someone in the dirt on purpose. And I dont think Wilson is faster. As amny times as Barcia has passed Wilson, outdoors too. I dont see how anyone can say Wilson is faster. If he was, he wouldnt be getting pushed around by Barcia. He would be ahead of him.

ride4ever, that was definitely a bizarre move on Sipes' part, that pass attempt was brutal and not very well thought out. Maybe that's an indicator that this year he is not going to take the back seat to anybody, who knows? That was dirty in my eyes. He has the speed to win and the size and experience to move just about anyone out of the way. bd200, Wilson faded this weekend but I wouldn't expect to see that again in my opinion. On another note, it's not far fetched this year to actually expect to see a lot of different winners on the east coast. Sipes, Wilson, Barcia, Larsen, Baggett, Wharton all just showed which coast is truly stacked this season. Consistency will win this one, I won't be surprised at all to the see the champ at the end have only won one or two main events. It will be a feat for these guys to stay healthy if the contact escalates like most agree it will. I'll go out on a limb here also and say Larsen takes the W this weekend.

I like both of these riders and thought it was some of the best racing of the night. The track sucked for passing and these guys did what they had to do. Niether guy knocked the other down and nobody got hurt. Good stuff!

Sorry sucka's but Barcia is a one hit wonder. He got fans for his scrubs and whips,,, Now you think its alright for him to be BEYOND dirty. Dirty is stuffing people, hitting people. This kid will steal your line mid flight and Land on you , and not even think twice about doing so. He averaged 5th fastest, and Dean is straight off an injury riding about 70%. We'll see who the champ is, Barcia might be in the top 5. Dean will be richer and more confident. I like hanny because i've known him forever but honestly would like to see Martin Davalos or Ken Roczen win some. I PROMISE i'm faster than 99% of you keyboard racers. Go to JS7.com and play with yourselves

Jairtime, Bubba's trainer is The O'Show, I think it was a reference to that.
I saw nothing dirty about Barcia's riding. He may not always need to run it on everyone when he passes them, but it's not dirty

1st - Novicehitman420 - STFU and grow a pair before you start posting. This page is for grown-ups not wannabe's on their parent's PC. Get off your parent's PC, it's bedtime....

2nd - TWT26 - STFU, you really look like an idiot internet troll...Answer your own F'ing question and get the hell off this board....(you might want to get a spell checker while you are at it cause you really suck at spelling - did you get past 2nd grade?) You seem like the typical A$$ on Mototalk....

For all you new generation twits who don't know your A$$ from a hole in a wall, ArmaRider471 is pretty much on the money IMO. If you haven't been around the sport long enough to know rubbin/racing then get lost. If Hanny gets the start in Vegas, it's over......In case you wonder because I know their will be some smarta$$ who will ask, ...I have been involved with the sport for close to 30 years.

Wilson 387, Barcia 317. Its how they finished. Wilson is an excellent rider, never said he wasnt. Barcia is a little faster, but crashes alot. We all know how that can cost a rider a ton of points. Kinda like it has cost Stewie over his career.

So how can you say JB is faster then?? U always aruge when someone says so in so is faster and you say he did not win. Like last year when people said RD is not as fast as RV or JS you would say RD won the title. So you seem to be argueing both sides again depending on the rider... Hmmmm i see a pattern here.
