Man, I miss Blake... he straight up could beat the best in a mano y mano. As a fan, it was super weird when it seemed like he just "disappeared." He was a HUGE talent. Hats off to Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Team for giving him a ride... I can only imagine what he would have done with a full factory ride? What a shame. I hope we learn what really happened from him.

Unfortunately, The Rocky Mountain ATV/MC team didn't pay him close a million dollars over a 2 year period and when he brought it up, they denied it, and it turned into an out of court settlement with a NDA attached.

@ronaldtravis970 yeah he was towards the end of his career and after going through all of that I think he was completely over it. There wasn't any good openings on any teams at the time anyway so if he wanted to come back it would've most likely had to have been on his own bike and his own program which isn't really worth it especially when you've been on solid teams your whole career.

Motocross lost when Bagget retired. As cool as Tomac was in beast mode, it was still Baggets spectacular passes that were the best thing in motocross. Whether it was the jump into the texas 12 pack or around the outside bowl turn at thunder valley, those were the moments you jumped out of your chair.
