[BlaineKaiser450]

Joe Bryd ->>> his style is exactly like mine
John Natalie ->>>I just like him
Chad Weinen->>> Makes riding look easy

[c450Razy]

Tim Farr

[smr]

Bill Ballance...He is the best all around rider. He's stood the test of times and has also shown he's not just a woods racer.

BJ Ballance.....he's really a cool guy if you ever get to met him.

JJones.....like Bill he's awesome in any form of racing. (I would love to see him in a razr)

[300exOH]

Natalie-Great ambassador to the sport

Farr- met him at the Orrville TT race...very nice guy even got an autograph and a photo with the family (Mark Baldwin and his wife are very nice folks as well)

Bill Ballance- Super fast

Gust-super fast old guy:macho

[Robin Hood]

JJ - Will always be #1 to me.
Dunk - Sickest bike schemes and fun guy to be around.
Nat - Most dedication
Weinen - Fastest rider I've seen.

Not sure if he's a pro yet, but I gotta give props to Greg Gee. When he raced pro/am at englishtown this year, he had a 20 second lead on the 3rd lap.

[chris46250r]

1. Jeremiah Jones - because I know him and he is as real as they come. Probably the nicest and most truthful pro out there.

2. Everybody else that is pro.

3. Last, Bill Ballance - I know him too. Enough said.

[gncc025]

dana creech- sick style and natural talent.

bill ballance- anyone that can win that many championships in any series let alone gncc gets my vote.

[trx400EXtreme]

john natalie- because he kicks ***!!!

dana creech- lets face it... nobody can throw around a quad like him

caleb moore- his overall progression in the past few years is amazing.

[rollie]

Chad weinen- just like his style
Josh Creamer - gotta support the local riders, hes real cool and sooo fast
John natlie- He's awesome, so fast and good to all his fans
After that id have to say Jasmin Plante:cool: but hes nto a full time nat rider

[Seano300ex]

chris borich & jeremy lawson. both have sick style

[tar]

John Natalie- really nice guy and a true ironman
Dustin Wimmer- not really sure but for some reason I like him

[XXXRACER165]

Well I'd have to say my favorite pro is actually a Girl. Angela Butler...........by all means she may not be the fastest rider out there but, she is faster than alot of guys and it would be a cool thing to meet her someday and go riding with her. It be interesting to see if she could out ride me on my track.

[my88r]

JEREMIAH JONES
Gary Denton
Doug Gust
Barry Hawk
Tim Farr
Doug Eichner
Shane Hitt
Keith Little
Harold Goodman

[NPelletier]

jeremiah jones Goat
Chad Wienen speed
pat brown style and yamaha
lawsons good person fast as well

[Velocity Girl]

Tim Shelman ("TPQ") - WORCS rider. Former teammate and one of the nicest guys at the races. Is always willing to lend a hand and offer support.

Adam McGill - ever since watching the 2006 GNCC series dvd's and hearing him hootin' and hollerin' as he went by the cameras he got my vote! He's not only fast, but has a great time doing it!

Doug Gust and Doug Eichner - gives us slightly older folks hope that we can keep doing this just a bit longer ;)

[TWISTED DINLI]

MX
John Natalie- hes awesome
Chad Wienen- has improved tremendously (sp) in the last year

GNCC
Bill Balance- hes won so many championships. hes just awesome

Freestyle
Jon Guetter- just because he did the backflip
Dana Creech- natural riding style

[quadrider1299]

Define Pro?

[trick250r]

MX
Tim Farr - met hima few times and like everyone else said, hes one of the nicest people you will ever meet

John Natalie - he even takes time to watch the amateur riders and give them pointers when they get off the track, not to mention that when he's at 100% hes the fastest guy out there

Freestyle
Caleb Moore - sure guetter did the flip but it just looks like thats all he does anymore... calebs starting to do variations, he's still doing other tricks, plus hes racing pro-am this year.

Dana Creech - hes just the travis pastrana of the quad world... freaking amazing at everything he does.

All time
Darin Ogden - he just came back to the pro class in the EDT... he used to come to a local motocross track when i was first starting out. taught me everything i needed to know, told me about this site, even gave me a tie-rod when i broke one in a race. one of the coolest people ive ever met.

[mx/xcblaster]

come on guys
travis spader,the dude goes bigger then anyone out there ,at his home track the jumps are bigger then any pro track there is

[JRP]

yea i feel you on that, but all the pros would hit those 2 if they had jumps like that, lol. Dosen't make him the best pro cuz of that(even though this thread is "whos your favorite rider" haha

[jesseweaver]

i have a lot of respect for most of the freestyle guys. they have great dedication and are really fun to watch.

[Ripitupfilms]

IM gona have to add Dana to my list when i was thinking i had totally forgot about him.. silly me

TIMMEH!!! Good answer...I was going to have to bump up Tims ego a bit(if thats actually possible :p ), because I thought it was somebody outside the (former)NW group. THEN I saw the screenname, lol.

Anyways, Same answer for me.... Tim "TPQ" Shelman. Team Money$hot #8 (was #11 for '07). Ungodly nice, and FUNNY as all get out. Like said, willing to help anybody, anytime, no matter what. He's also VERY fast, and one of the coolest guys to watch/pit for. Always exciting, no matter the situation.

Also, Doug Eichner. Fast, Smooth, etc. More then anything, he's just a nice guy. I've had the pleasure of knowing Doug for a few years now. He's god a MASSIVE list of wins, but if you didn't know any better, you would never have a clue....just unbelievably modest, about everything. He's never stuck-up, or a bad sport...just a GREAT guy. The one thing I don't like, when he laps me...even through the nastiest whoops, where I'm fighting to maintain control....he always throws up a casual WAVE. I mean, come on, do you even have to work to be smooth!!! haha. Yeah, Mr. DougE... great guy.

ANOTHER? Joe Rarey(Laptraffic)...Team Money$hot #609(was #7 for the 2007 year....but he took the year off!!..damn) Anyways..I've known him since early '05...he's actually who introduced me to Team Money$hot. He's very fast, and very dedicated. He never raced any class other then Pro..he bought a Warrior, then bought a Cannondale..and automatically went Pro. His progression never fails to amaze me! Besides that, also just a hell of a nice guy. Can't wait for him to get back to racing again.

[mx3mom]

Jeremiah Jones

[Dave400ex]

Never really had a favorite MX rider.

GNCC:

Chris Jenks and Duane Johnson. Both have the speed, I just hope next year the equipment works out for them. Bithell and McGill as well. Borich is just amazing...

[Ex_Rider43]

LAWSON

[hondaracer305]

Engelstads for president! :D

[trxwannbe]

man there is just no love out there for josh creamer, he gets my vote though. incredibly fast and smooth and a great personality.

[tw1976]

Jones

I was just watching National Born Killers today and relized how much I miss seeing him ride. I certainly wouldn't describe him as smooth though as alot of you have. I think it was mainly push the thumb throttle to its limit and hope for the best, lol. Fast as hell but far from smooth.

Creamer

We were pitted next to him at Glen Helen in 05 when he made the first pro race. Have kind of followed him ever since. Hoping things keep progressing on the Kawi like they were toward the end of last season.

Weinen

Have to be impressed with anyone who can do a complete makeover in one offseason.

Gust

Have to add him just because I'm from WI.

[liljhall09]

Joe Byrd !! - Love his bike and seems like a great guy ...

[jesseweaver]

[jesseweaver]
