Chad Reed is a hack

My home away from home.
Very seldom do i watch supercross, but I just so happened to watch tonights race in Atlanta. After watching the replays a few times it was a bummer to watch Reed take Stewart out just before the finish. A few turns before that happened, Stewart and his team mate shared a turn with Reed and Stewart got around clean. IMO he (Reed) didn't even think of his own team. He moved back his own finish and almost took himself off the podium. Not to mention all the crap he and his team will take for his move. I understand it's in the heat of the moment, but if you can win, win clean.

I was right there on the 7th row. #30 ( I think he is Stewarts teammate) blocked Reed right before that. He was getting lapped. Not the first time that has happened.
 
Reed's move was a take out, plain and simple. Watch the vid, he didn't even attempt to make the turn and the 90 before all this happened, he tried to hit JS's rear tire. He was pissed that he got caught from behind and made certain that if he couldn't win, Stewart wouldn't either.

I have never much cared for Reed or Stewart, but last night made certain of my opinion that Reed is a b1tch. I think he has little man's disease, only it is about the fact that the only reason he has ever won a championship is because the best rider each year was out with injuries. JMO.

If he was going to take JS out, he would have T-Boned him. I call that a block pass. It gave JS 2 options, either check up (Hell, if he had, he may could have gone around Reed and kept going, Reed was out of position to make that turn) and go around or continue. That was a block pass plain and simple. (Block the racer from advancement while making a pass).
 
Go REED shame it didn't come off like you planned but great try

you cant blame a guy from trying , when you run as fast and lap times that close as these guys run there will be times it doesn't work , just makes for more excitement

Just found an interview with Reed, he admitted to the block pass and also said that had the tables been turned that he would have expected Stewart to do the same. It is racing. There have been alot of comments about the old days, If you watched the Legends of SX yesterday they showed plenty of blocked passing. hell, You block someone, the other guy would just ride over you!!!!!!!!!!! They did not cry and bitch about it like they do today. One of the most respectful things I saw was RC blocked McGrath (Unintentional), A few turns later, RC went high and checked up and let McGrath retake the lead. That is class.

rubbing is racing... but that was still a beiotch move. is parking in front of someone really called racing??? he was beat and he knew it and instead of taking it like a man, he let his emotions get the best of him.

what stewart did was and will always be racing. i didn't watch the race, but that clip showed a try at a block pass. i'm guessing it was late in the race because he looked to tired to finish it off. i can tell you riding a 450 is no joke. those guys have some of the best cardio in the world. i just think he was a little tired and couldn't finish the pass. that is racing at it's best in my opinion.

Chad said it was a very aggressive race and that was his last chance at a pass. He played it a little more aggressive than he had wanted but that JS saw it coming and rather than take the block played it very aggressive too, grabbed a handfull and they got hung up. There were alot of points on the line and they were both charging hard the entire race. What the cameras don't show was what happened right after, JS held back thu the rythym section in order to hang up Reed right after, basically giving up 2nd place and 7 points to do so. For those who think Chad is being a bitch, listen to his interviews. He knows what he did, he is taking the loss like a man. JS was the one standing on CR's bike and hanging back to fould him more.

P.S. The Block Pass is a full legal move in AMA, therefore no fines or penalties...or bitching. I'm sure we will see much more rubbing between these two.
