:laughing

id agree that MM vs Tomac will be more entertaining than Dungey vs anyone

Yeah must be real boring to be a 4 time champion...:twofinger

Mad

:confused how entertained he is by his own life is very different than how entertaining he is to us, esp on track.

if Rea is boring, Dungey is too.

Good for him.

Successful in a brutal sport without (apparently) life altering injuries.

He will now take over Roger D's job in a couple years.

Not Sure

I like money.
We were standing along the back set of table tops before the finish line, waiting to see who would make it out of the trees with the lead. Hopefully we would see one of our local boys like Swan or maybe even iron man Dietrich come out first, ahead of the seemingly untouchable McGrath. But no, it was a yellow #212 rounding the sweeping left before sailing over the tabletops, who then RAILED the finish line turn in the lead... What/Who/How we all thought??

We would continue to watch the #212 battle with McGrath and Hill all weekend, watching the future become the now. I knew right then that this kid, whoever he was, was something special...

That was the 2006 Mammoth Mountain invitational, and the #212 was none other than Ryan Dungey.

What a career from start to finish!

Good job Ryan, well done sir!
