I agree and with that, anyone infront gets a huge gap that puts the other riders at a disadvantage all cuz they know if they pass him aggressive he will retaliate and take himself and them out on the next corner

Exactly! And considering he has dropped from 450 to 250 shouldn’t he be held to a higher standard?! I mean he has what 10+ yrs in supercross? but still cross jumps, sand bags and takes champ contenders out when he’s a nobody in this championship 🤬

#suspendfreise

@@odinslain2608 take his license away.

Agreed he literally tried to cross jump into craig in that rhythm before the sand turn

Lmao

He’s getting one of those beepers like big trucks have when they’re in reverse..

A "slow moving" vehicle triangle like on farm equipment 🤣

Agree. Guy is out of control

100%. Not too happy about Anderson right now either, and sometimes Barcia, but dump Friese, AMA.

if you feel that way, then barcia needs his taken too. he has t boned and taken out way more riders then friese has

Jesse, I’ve been saying that for the last three seasons. He’s such an idiot and is CONSTANTLY causing really bad crashes. I’ve said soooooooo many times that he’s going to kill someone one day. He could have caused Craig to break his neck if he would have went head first into that wall. I’ve also said lottttts of times that the AMA should yank his license. I can NOT stand that dips***!

@giant weiner barcia does need it too. Sport needs to be cleaned up. Some legitimately can't be controlled. But Bracia and Friese are both over the top. Anderson has been reckless too. But as far as riders being hurt because of an overly aggressive pass, Friese has still hurt more riders than Barcia has.

yeah, especially so early in the race...last corner, maybe first couple laps = dumb

Craig is tripling in. When you triple in....literally can not change your line. The line is set when you jump the last triple! When Vince jumped...HE WAS AHEAD. When he landed...Craig was ahead. So yes...Craig was ahead...but so what. What do you think Vince could have done? Go look at the broadcast replace from behind. Vince was NOT ever on an inside line. He was outside. He LANDED well to the RIGHT of centerline at the jump down face...but he was pointed a bit left...cutting the corner arc. This is a very fast line. He was on an outside line. It is just that Craig took a ballsy line...further outside of Vince. And because Craig landed 28' sooner, pinned...he passed Vince while he was in the air. Not sure how much you ride, but when you lands a SX triple, into a corner, in the sand...you do not have a lot of lattitude to change your line. The bike compresses and rebounds fast...and they goes light. Basically the direction you land...you are going to keep going that direction for about 20-30 FEET. This is exactly what happened. Before Vince even crosses the center ridge....he REAR TIRE IS OFF THE GROUND. He is along for the ride. Basically, the only way for Vince to change his line was to change his line up the last jump, WHEN HE WAS STILL AHEAD. It is a racing incident 100%

They were even going in. There shouldn't be a penalty. This whining is from wearing ritual shame muzzles and watching TV. Whine about Danny Magoo and everyone since then

Only time he ever stopped pulling the bs on anyone in particular was when Peick got off the ground and started landing haymakers on him.

I completely agree, strip him of his professional license

@@Swoldemort500 I remember that, and I think Peick got suspended a race I'm not sure though.

@@dantheman5201 WP even made a post about it on his IG very recently. To him standing up for himself was well worth it and I can't say i blame him. If the AMA isn't going to handle this I'm ready for the riders to.

Minimum 1 year suspension. This guy is a menace to all that is good in racing. Total Loser.

Wish WPs career wouldn't have gotten ended in a such a freak incident.

Craig did worse to A Mart so…

I also emailed Leatt about not buying their products anymore

@@tonileppanen8305 You Liberal pvzzy. I'd like to cancel you.

Yeah thats brilliant, cancel our sports sponsors. BRILLIANT

You werent buying a hot tub anyway. Cancel yourself.

yeah you're right he gets everyone out of rhythm and blocks ,i wanna see Hunter get a clear shot at Craig .

@@Ranger_Dog311 so you want to see a race with only two guys on the track?...

@@PeterReefman Don't be stupid.

Stupid logic. They all get paid to place as high as possible. It’s his job to hold the highest position he possibly can. Not just give up his position because they guys behind him run faster lap times than him. Racing is more than fast lap times. If their so much faster than VF than they should have no issue just sweeping by him on the inside. His job is to score the most points each round, not get out of the way so you can be entertained with the three fastest guys.

@@TheXman174 You only get paid if you finish the race. You can't win if you're laying on the ground. Please name an incident where VF has actually taken someone out and he didn't go down as well. Or at least the person he took out didn't come back and put him on the ground. MX is a dangerous enough without people making stupid decisions like this. Anyone that thinks this kind of behavior is acceptable has never raced. It is not ok to end someone's career, or worse, their life.

Exactly! I’d be embarrassed to sponsor him!

That is because it was a racing incident. When Vince set his line for the corner....he was ahead. This is a function of sand corners that are set up to jump into. Sand can slow you down so quick, and provide so much turning if you know how to ride, and you can jump into the corner. That means that your line for the corner is set when you triple in. When you land...you are already set. You line is set. There is nothing you can do. Craig passed Vince while Vince was IN THE AIR. In other words...Craig is so damned fast he effectively put himself in Vinces line...AFTER Vince had set his line and could not change it. When any rider who triples in lands, their bike compresses, rebounds and goes light for about 20-30 FEET. There is nothing you can do. This is what happened. Vince should be penalized for his cross jumping...but this...was a racing incident.

Look up Craig and a mart crash

AMA doesnt care. They care only about money like all Motorsport unions

When Friese was racing 450s my Dad and I would bet on who he would take out that weekend! Dude needs to be banned

AMA has nothing to do with the moment of the race.

AMA may not have anything to do with the "money moment of the race" but they don't mind them using stuff like this to market the series and get more views. That is 2 weeks in a row the "money moment of the race" was someone hitting the deck. Money moment to me would be a skilled pass for the lead or something.

yeah with a laser pointer 😂

Glen Helen this Thursday

You guys hate on it. But without this the sport to follow is boring. When do the fans cheer on the hard passes

Wrong !Putting a guy in a wheelchair isn’t the answer. If riders aren’t man enough to handle it after the race then that’s on them

@@craigmayhan4009 when you have 54 sponsors unfortunately you can't handle it Like real men..which is why friese took him out .....

That was actually worse then the crash, definitely roosted him on purpose...

I loved every bit of it to

Thats what I'm thinking

Then hunter wins championship

Yeah they’re in an age class of their own as well

That's why I really like the fact that they have teams. Big money on the line crap like that can happen. Seen it happen in other sports.

Stop buying Hondas!

And the fact that friese should be smart enough to know you can’t triple out from the inside line and cut over to the outside line! He did that crap the entire race! Hopefully he gets banned soon!

@@trakstr1170 I think you need glasses, and need to learn how to ride a dirt bike. Here is a vid.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJN5jciW08XVqp8.html Go to 0:18 early in the second. Vince is landing before his last jump. Craig is taking off for his 3+1. How is that an inside line for Vince? He is totally on the RIGHT side of the rhythm section...and Craig...he is like 6-12 INCHES from the TBLocks! Who is making dumb moves here? It is not Vince...it is Craig putting himself in a stupid spot. Go to 0:18 later in the second. Vince now taking off his last triple. He is ahead. Craig is in the air. Again....you can see how far RIGHT Vince is. 2/3 of the track is to his LEFT. He is on a right/outside line. He was not "inside" like you say. Open your eyes. Go to 0:19 and watch Craig land. He is pinned...and gets a brilliant RV like drive. Look at that deep rut he digs in the sand from the moment he lands. THIS is where he pulls ahead of Vince...who is in the air, and can not change anything. Go to 0:19 late in the second and stop the frame when Vince lands. He STILL is not LEFT. During his jump, he drifted about 1 foot to the left...but he is still on the outside line, but his angle in is cutting a bit of the arc off the corner. This is common in sand where you go straight and then pivot into a berm. Watch the and of 0:19 to 0:20 Do you know how a dirt bike rides?...Vince's bike compresses and rebounds...partly because he clipped, which was a mistake. This happens in the span of about 0.2 seconds...faster than anyone can react. Once the bike rebounds...Vince is just floating. He rear tire is actually IN THE AIR. He is along for the ride. He just goes straight for about 20's..and by the time he gets his tires down in the sand...he is hitting Craig. Basically...when you triple in...your line is determined by your jump direction from the last triple. When you triple in...you are going straight for 20-30' when you land. Vince did not cut in... He did not change from inside to outside (RC's comments on the broadcast were idiotic...he should know better...he is letting his known dislike for Vince impact his judgement). Vince just kept going in the exact same direction when he landed...which is all that physics allows you to do. The only way Vince could prevent a crash was by predicting the future, and changing his line off the last jump. At that point...he was ahead. Are you saying Vince should have changed his line on his last jump...at the point he was ahead...and his competitor had put himself on the OUTSIDE going into a corner? Is this a race? For another view...go to 0:42 and watch the slow mo from the rear. Watch Vince land. He is RIGHT of center. Look at the damned grooming of the track! The "mid ridge" is not in the middle of the track...it is 3/4 of the way to the RIGHT! That was the idiot track workers. Vince lands...his tire is all the way in his fender...but SX susp is stiff...and it rebounds fast. Within two bike lengths...Vinces tires are not even leaving trails in the sand...he is floating along for the ride for the next 20'+. 2 bike lengths at that speed is 0.25 seconds. So in 0.25 seconds...Vince is supposed to instantly recognize that Craig has passed him, decide to change his line, magically make the bike turn before it leaves the ground. Are you aware that 0.25s is a good reaction time? This does not even allow for recognition, evaluation, and decision making. To recognize evasive action is required, and actually put inputs into the bike...you need 0.50 to 0.60 seconds. There was no time. As soon as Vince and Craig took off from their last triple jumps...a crash was guaranteed....

Sx is a dangerous sport and craig needs to accept that he will get hurt if he keeps leaving the door open , he’ll never learn

@@MsElijah16 bot

that was 100% VFs fault

@@MsElijah16 Leaving the door open? Lol what is this logic

Well Vince leaves the door open too and I guess he will learn it's a 2 way street when the 19 other riders on the gate start parking his ass in every corner.

great idea to have him start from behind. but it wont fix his problem. he is like a thief who just has to steal even when they don't need stuff. Friese believes he has to hurt racers. and he forever will unless he is banned.

1000% agree!

😂😂🤣sounds about right

Agree but not on purpose for sure! No hate btw but have we ever played a game or sport and been in the zone and the flow of the game just comes and time passes to quickly. ( hence being in the zone ) yes they’re pros and he should learn or look out for other riders safety but man once you’re in the moment you’re just cruising going through your rhythm, what you’re comfortable with ( friese taking that dumb ass line he was all weekend ) suppose what I’m getting at is man probably didn’t even realise he was doing it until it happened. Note.. reason these top riders succeed besides all the work and effort and etc they put in is the fact of being able to get yourself out of that zone and almost hypnotised state… I.g screw friese but I believe he didn’t realise he was doing it either

That’s a great thing to have mentally

😂😂

Aren't you tired of people telling others what to do? I am. Let the men take care of it like men

Look up Craig and A mart crash

But he's making more then professional money for years. They don't do this to satisfy us by racing in a line it's for money and bonuses. We need the hits and crashes and what nots if we didn't have that we would not even talk about the 250 class

Maybe Craig should have looked in the mirror and said I need to be better on the start instead of crying poor me.

Things are gonna get dirty 😈👺

Yep, I agree with that. He has been doing it for years. He needs to be removed. All he does is block other riders from passing him.

He's like Alessi good start but can't hold on

Like Craig, Right ? 👀😅

@@WattsTubeAmp Craig checks out almost every time he’s in front. Friese ends up getting passed every time

@@brysoncostales4882 Alessi was always riding over his head too. trying too hard. Friese knows his place and doesn't even try to win when he has the chance. he thinks its his job to cause train wrecks, rather than try to be a winner on skill. sign the petition to ban Friese!

Yeah short memories from the Craig soy boys.

@@joelmatthews5697 correct missed the rut not intentionally missed the rut and tried to take someone out and i hate yamaha

I saw the bs like every race this season him cross jumping especially shimoda he almost took him out 4 times in a race. I’m so glad he didn’t injure Craig or worse a career injury too Craig’s broken back friese a bone head needs to be suspended the rest of the super cross season at least

Yeah I tend to agree. He’s not dirty, he just makes bad decisions. Over and over and over and over again. Look back at when Ferrandis took out Craig. How many times has Ferrandis done that stuff since? None that I can remember. He’s learned and gotten smarter and won a 450 title lol. That’s why this is a different situation than others. Friese is who he is and will never change as a pro racer.

@Scottyboy okay C-Class hero

Not that all of Bams moves were great but to me the biggest difference is most of the time Barcia was passing riders, Vince constantly does it getting passed

@@racerx9207 exactly, he’s clearly a poor sport and can’t take a L like a man.

I agree with that 100% Barcia used to take out every lapper nomatter who it was and no matter how many laps ahead he was. He's still dangerous.

I wonder how cash motivated Vince is - or how well off a guy like he is to where the penalties are big hits or not or if the team just pays it for him. Man I wish this sport was transparent in the slightest

Also should've said the preferred line into the corner - not necessarily that his rhythm was better, just land on that first sand roller was the way people wanted to play it all day

@@RotoMoto I think he’s highly cash motivated. People talk about how MCR pays their riders mostly by bonus programs and people have mentioned that’s why in the past he’s willing to kill riders for 15th in the 450 class because that’s where his bonus position was. Keefer guessed on the Pulp show that his bonus around 20 grand for a podium in the 250 class.

@@RotoMoto Yeah and it could’ve been the race line for everyone but Christian also I was just meaning Christian was faster there whether it was him just being better or the line I’m not sure. Vince was running people to the outside there all the first one like you said and I thought he was going to put someone off the over under bridge so he didn’t totally change what he was doing I guess. I think he just totally zones out and spazzes in those situations.

Vince had an interview with someone pre-race and said he makes money when everyone is talking about him. So he's obviously money motivated

I agree on this. Both could have backed off. It’s first lap they didn’t and this happens when no one wants to back down

Yes. This. VF is the best starter, and he has as much 'right' to holeshot as anyone. VF is the best blocker. He has as much right to keep his position as anyone. Train your weaknesses (starting, for most of the guys), race with your strengths (starting (and blocking) for VF, whoops for CC).

Craig was on the outside in front going into a turn with 2 berms. VF was on the left. Why would craig have backed off? Watching it i thought maybe vf missed the inside but nope....he was trying to cut him off

@@TheShift1313 Rather than risking an outside pass, all CC needed to do was wait for the whoops, where he SHOULD be able to pass VF. CC is like, twice the whoops rider than VF right?

@@PeterReefman id agree if there werent 2 lines in the turn. If CC knew VF was taking that line 100% check up. Cc was obviously faster in a ton of places :)

My dude 🙌🙌

the difference is its the same guy every weekend trying to take guys out. this isnt just a 1 or 2 time thing. its every weekend every time hes on the track multiple times a race....

@@thegrossmansmx Agree. I think he almost took someone out in the same heat as this. I just think it’s silly everyone is saying Vince was trying to take him out. He wasn’t, he was just being a idiot. He should of guess Craig was going to pin it around the outside. By why would Craig take the risk??

Barcia must be laughing at this , in his defence he gets in scraps whilst passing more than being overtaken.

Honestly I see it this way and both could have done things to prevent it. One could have back off or the other could have backed off. Both didn’t want to back on. So people expect to just say oh were running even down here let me back off because it’s Craig

You’re right that block passing (aggressive and not) happens all the time. You also mentioned a corner having two berms. The problem here is the place where he took Craig out DID have two lines, with Friese on the inside and Craig on the outside, but instead of staying in his inside line, Friese chose to try to block Craig by going into his outside line, and thus causing the crash. You can have all the different lines and berms you want, but these problems are 100% rider-made decisions and will continue to happen if individuals aren’t punished accordingly. I’m all for making the sport more safe but unfortunately it seems the most effective way of doing so is by addressing the riders as opposed to the track. Just my opinion!

As soon as a I saw them side by side, I actually knew in my head Vince was going outside line. He was ahead, he was running track middle and not veering inside AT ALL. And the entrance to the sand on his lander was faster into the sand. How in all hell Craig didn't think Vince was going outside is beyond me. They had just reshaped both turn entrances and there was a mushroom of sand waiting on the inside and NOBODY wanted to take that inside first lap b/c until someone is forced to hit that inside hump, you don't know how deep the sand is. It looked like Vince was committed full throttle to staying on his same outside line and Craig just hit the sand so stupidly fast (watch him just shotput suddenly in front of Vince). When Craig's surge ahead happened, Vince's foot is already off the peg and in sand. He's a passenger and can't change lines at that point. Vince is a total head case, but that sandwas a toss up as to what would happen first lap after being re-worked if two guys go in side by side & we saw it play out. I'm not blaming Vince for it this time. But his reputation gives him ZERO leeway. So even if he were right...he'd be wrong. Flip the script and put Vince in Craig's position. EVERYONE would be yelling that Vince went in too fast and reckless on the outside and Craig had every reason to douse his wheels. 🙃

sign the petition to ban Friese forever!!!

Ppl forget he took out Jett last year and. Ended a Martin a few years back.

@@dekancaine What goes around....

Yeah I was mad when he took out Jett last year, but still there are levels to this, and that was minor(in the move itself, not minor in costing Jett a possible win I believe)compared to this high speed take out by Vince. Everyone should pay accordingly to whatever bull they pull on the track.

@@dekancaine that was Justin Cooper who ended Martin.

Its easy to look at Vince's past and judge him more harshly because of it - but he hasn't been overly DIRTY this season so this was his first offense of an egregious pass - to play it straight probation starts now and he will now be on watch. Its easy to say probation doesn't work but look at Barcia post-Bogle, he's been mostly a non-factor

@@RotoMoto I mostly agree that Friese hasn't been, like, bad dirty this year mostly, but even after he took craig out this round he was being cross jumpy as hell in the rhythms. One thing to use up the whole track and have a wide bike like he normally is but the cross jumping when all eyes were on him just pissed me off

Most of us have a passion for riding and we love watching the best the world has to offer pitted against each other. How many of us have been taken out (and sometimes injured) by the same kind of twit (Friese) and how many have to get taken before something is done? Three strikes and you're out.

👍

Everybody watches Barcia. Everybody says that Barcia is a dirty rider. Everybody says that Barcia needs reprimanded but Friese makes Barcia look like a pussy and no one says a word.

Yeah I couldn’t believe he did that, had all the time in the world to pass and did just before the sand

And they need to get rid of the sand, it’s stupid and dangerous

No one in that beginner class is a match.

If Craig is so good they why is he battling Vince? Why is he in this class? Implying that a rider should 'know their place' and yield to the big guy is BS. We have a system for this situation, it's called the blue flag. Vince nor anyone else should be yielding a position to anyone at all. Unless they are being lapped.

@@TraumaAU I agree. He should be on a 450. Next year. But there's aggressive racing and dirty racing. Friese is dirty. And if your gonna take someone out, you don't take yourself out too. They are both lucky nobody was hurt. He cross jumps people, that's dangerous. SX is dangerous enough.

100% right, there should be a 23 year old age limit at the least for 250 class.

Snowflakes can’t race a old man? Lmfao! It is Pro Motocross. Anyone can ride that qualifies. If you can’t beat VF There is no way in hell that you can complete in the 450 class. Man up .

@@woodysrockspyro6436 OK then I'll agree he is faster but only at the drop of the gate, one of the fastest on a 250. But go and watch any of the 3 races this week, or the race last week and watch the place ticker. You will see everyone infront gapping him and him slowing up who ever catches him that is afraid to pass. Several times there has been a pack of 3 or 4 on his tail

@@menace1tb yeah.. seems like he fades after a lap or two. He usually leads for more than a lap and even a few laps sometimes.. at that level it's saying something. He's no slouch.
