[weavefish]

Maybe he should have spent more time on a road course... maybe then he wouldnt do so bad.

I don't have anything against the guy, however, I refuse a lot of invitations that come my way.  Maybe he should do the same.       
PS. He withdrew because it looked too scary.
Either that, or he couldn't get another idiotic custom painted helmet in time.

MAN THAT IS A BIG HEAD

one of these days, were gonna see him on speedtv's superbikes., stunting..... :

He withdrew because of a triple jump, among other things. A freaking triple jump in supermoto!?! My respect for #69 just went up.

Cuz my brains are HUGE!

Triple jump in supermoto- Only in the Xgames   
I would have backed out, too, if i were dumb enough to have signed up.

I read somewhere that a lot of GP riders practice using supermoto. It is supposed to help with sliding or at least thats what the article said..

[Timegrommet]

I'm surprised that factory Honda let him do it. they have allot of money tied up with him and if he got hurt screwing around in off season......well....

Supermoto is great training for racing.  It is a sport that pays dividends for "backing it in" which is great on the track.  The only problem now with the smaller cc bikes you don't get an advantage for backing it in to corners.  This shows pretty big in moto gp where we once had more competitive riders on the bigger horsepower bikes with less traction control.  The smaller engines are harder for our riders to adapt to.

He was on another Honda. I'm sure that they gave him a good talking to before hand.

Nicky Hayden is no slouch as far as Supermoto is concerned.
The guy is a self made, great, and superfast rider. He deserved respect IMO.

Well said Alberto and I couldn't agree more. I wish I had a fraction of his ability when it comes to riding anything with two wheels.
