PrintTeam USA is quietly creeping up on its own win-streak record at the Motocross of Nations. The 1982 through1993 win streak—thirteen years—is the all-time standard for the event, but Team USA 2005 through 2010 has racked up six straight.

Ryan Villopoto may have locked up his 450SX title a week early, but the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross Championship finale still had drama and excitement to spare. Page 124.

I actually worked out that if it was USA verses Europe, it would be 17 to 6 Europe. What a bunch of losers you suckers are. LOL
BTW, do I get the HOLEEEEEEEESHOTTTTTTT: LOL
No fair. Europe's population is bigger than ours >:(
Jeff Ward is a STUD!!! LOL 7x's a winner.
To bad for losers like you mike it does not work that way soooooo who is the loser now?? TOOL
Yes BillC - As a kawi rider The flyin' Freckle was always my hero. And as I entered this forum MORON MIKE has to be the #1 ZERO!!!!!!!! But he isn't sayin' much about ths coming weekend-wonder why LOL Another question what is your take on muscle cars? Just curious as we have some of the same interests. I am very proud of my 1968 Dodge Coronet RT that I built myself. I have gotten best of show trophies with it, it has 650 HP on Nitros and is a handfull to drive. Tomorrow got a ride goin' w/a bunch of guys. Ends at a guys house in the country where we drag race up and down the highway out front-at least until Johnny Law shows up!!
actually euro mike, for every time you slow european's won, we won twice. thanks for playing.
I think i get what your saying Euromike. The United States population is larger than a majority of the countries that compete. So you have a country of 300 million (United States) versus lets say a country of 60 million (Italy) how can it be fair? So using the poor logic many have used it stands to reason that the United States should have more people riding motocross than individual European countries. But if you take Europe as a total population of 852.4 million as the U.N estimates, well that wouldn't work out would it? Besides, if you use your calculations, United States vs the World, well you would have about 38 riders per race against two U.S. riders. That is not fair is it
whats up with years that we did not have team?
Dont get caught up in these same arguments that come around every year about this time. The only problem with the US riders is they get carpal tunnel from twisting the throttle too much. This is the best sport in the world, and we happen to be very good at it!
oh yea, and WARDY was a bad ass on any size bike.
@bucky394........... Love them. Don't have one but my Bro has a 1970 Chevelle SS454 all redone. Growing up dad had a 39 ford, 63 split window Vett, before me he had a 61 Vett, 55, 56, 57 chevys and a whole list of others. Always dragin too!! I got into Trucks because there were always cars around anyway LOL, Right now I have a 2011 Dodge 2500 Cummins thats putting out 575HP and over 1,100 foot pounds of torque, a 3/1/2" lift of witch I made some of the parts to, the Trany is built too. Thats my daily driver :-) Its a lot of fun beating cars light to light of on the HWY too I LOL all the time!!! Sometime with my 20+ foot long inclosed sled trailer!!!
How Wardy could ride a 500 like he did still amazes me!! You remember in 1985 at the MXD Rodger told him to slow down!! Rodger said he was so much faster then everyone that day he could back it down and still run away with it.
65cobra- 2001, 2002 were all a result of 9/11/01. 2004 im not possitive but it could have been the year when someone was going to build a track on an Indian res. and it just never came together. Was it called Competition Park or somthing? anyone remember?
mxguy94 YUP and I believe 2004 was the big mess out in CA, the race got caned days before people started to show up.Then went to another counrty last min but we stayed home.
Thanks BillC.
@BillC I thought you would have some interest-cars are a guy thing for sure. I noticed on another post you said you have to use the computer in your shop. Is this where you work? What do you do in your shop? I have a collision repair shop and have 5 employees. We get tons of deer hits. especially this time of year. Did a 2010 Equinox with over 5 grand from a deer 2 weeks ago and they stopped in yesterday as they already hit another one! (not so hard this time) love it. Also, I just saw on facebook Alex Martin posted that he got the Privateer of the year award this year! I know the Martin family well. They are really good people. And Gretta hits a deer every now and then too! Spring Creek Park is big deer country. Now when the farmers get the corn out of the feilds and the hunters start getting out and with the bucks in rut- it's crazy how the work will pile up. Makes me think about that E-Tec you've got coming. Did it show up yet?
My Bro and I own a Tool & die machine shop, we have 7 guys working for us. We do everything, CNC hilling, CNC turrnig, Wire EDM, we make Gages, fixtures, design and build, progressev dies, Stamping, pruduction. For almost every industry out there, Mold, auto, aerospace, medical surgical u name it. Most everyone uses something everyday that I had an hand in somehow. Glad you are bussy also.
cool BillC sounds like you have a good set up. Someone in a the next town up the line called the cops on us for re-blacktopping the street today. So he pulls one guy over and tells him "I'm not gonna give you a ticket. Somebody called and complained so I had to pull one of you over, so have fun!" And let him go! Good time for sure. One guy had a 65 chevelle with a huge turbo set up, 900 plus hp and that thing did impressive burnouts. Got it on a video starts to burn the tires then it like came up on pipe like a two stroke and dissapeared in the smoke. way cool
You on dootalk.com??

Nice to run into a Cool cop, have a few times on the street bike. LOL good thing too!!
