New Orleans For Assholes: 250 Breakdown

Speed 250 highlightsPre-race: RC commenting on the seashells in the dirt. Those probably go well with the oil and chunks of non-flood retardant houses that also make up the soil in NOLA.

Holeshot: Alex Martin rips it from the outside and just takes everyone’s pride and curbstomps it. Remember when Jeff said heavier dudes/bikes get better traction? Bullshit.

Lap 2: Durham into the lead, Barcia lets Stewart by for 3rd, clearly thinking championship. Ralph is baffled but that is not a surprise.

Lap 4: Martin got pushed out of the top 5 like a pageant girl who didn’t bang the judges. Now Stewart, Barcia, Baggett, Roczen, all behind Durham.

Lap 5: Literally as Carmichael is talking about how good Malcolm is doing tonight, he pulls the no footer in the whoops section. Always a bad decision, regardless of how few fucks are given.

Lap 7: Baggett and Roczen get past Barcia, who does not have one fuck to give about this race as long as he is in position to wrap up the ‘ship. Count on him treating lappers like they are made of nitro glycerin and the bird flu.

Lap 9: Durham jumping tuff blocks like a boss. Trying to knock that shit in front of the competition, 2 Fast 2 Furious style. Unfortunately it didn’t work and Baggett is actin’ a fool right on his ass now.

Lap 13: Durham pulled back away from Baggett, still jumping the tuff blocks in front of the triple. No fucks given.

Lap 14: I think Durham is technically cutting the track every lap, but even the AMA knows when to fuck off and let it be sometimes.

Lap 15: Baggett all up in Durham’s grillmix. Durham is just all “Christ Blake, don’t you have some offs to fuck?” [Two "fuck off" jokes in two laps. Like a boss.]

Finish: DD wins it over BB. Bogle gets a third, undoubtedly doing one footers and tear off throws for the kids. Barcia wraps up the title with a fourth and Roczen arm pumps his way across the line in fifth.

New Orleans For Assholes: 450 Breakdown

Villopoto NOLA
Pre-race: Before they went to commercial, CBS played a little tribute montage to RV that perfectly communicates the market that CBS is going for: Gay Island.

Holeshot: Villopoto. Stick a fork in it, it’s done. Teen Step-Daddy gets wrapped up with Chiz in turn one. Sucks to be them.

Lap 1: Weimer jumps off the track then gets a little too frisky with the throttle on the cement and hits the ground. Joe moment of the race thus far (but we’re only on lap 1 and Mike Alessi is up front. He’ll have arm pump in a few laps and we’ll have a real show).

Lap 2: Josh Grant looking solid in 2nd. Wait…what?

Lap 3: Short throws one inside of Tickle and Tickle hits the dirt. Not one fuck given in that exchange. Short up to 7th.

Lap 4: 3rd and 4th are Alessi and Faith. I always thought the tortoise and the hare was bullshit until right now. You just have to wait till the hare gets broke off in a rhythm section.

Lap 7: Brayton stuffs Metcalfe before the sand section, no fucks given. Up to 4th. Metcalfe is all Suzuki bullshit getting tuned up right before the beach.

Lap 15: Well the commercial break just covered about a third of the race. 50 second lap times are rad as fuck.

Lap 15 (cont’d): Alessi still running 3rd, but as RC so astutely put it “I would not want to be Alessi right now.” Me neither, or any other time for that matter. Kid’s back probably looks like Kunta Kinte’s.

Lap 15 (cont’d again): Carmichael with the line of the night: “Alessi’s been pretty good all night long. The whoops are really not a factor tonight.”

Lap 16: And….Joelessi gets wrapped up lapping Sipes. And his bike is saying “Trust me BRO, if you keep going, you’ll kill yourself. I’m calling it a night.”

Lap 18: Immediately following Erin’s interview with Weimer, Ralph keeps the flow going on that topic with “And that’s the thing about Ryan Villopoto…” We can officially say that James and Ralph have broken up. Ralph+Ryan 4ever ♥

Lap 18 (cont’d): Villopoto just legitimately threw a one footer on the triple, without any whip. No fucks given.

Lap 20: The last two laps of this race have consisted of Ralph, Jeff, and RC talking about Villopoto. Kind of like this whole paint dryer of a season.

Finish: Villopoto, who had this one the second his plane landed without the pilot going postal and flying it into the Gulf of Mexico. JG finishes second like a boss. Brayton in third.

Darryn Durham Is Leading The Charge Of The Youth Revolt In Moto

Durham New Orleans

So DD won this weekend and he just got right down to business, as you can see in this pic. Such a savage mother fucker. You have to love it when dudes like this win races, right? Are there any people out there that are bummed out when a guy who clearly got where he was by having fun and doing his thing wins? There cannot be, right? Like, I know that some people get pissed when Villopoto or Dungey win a race. But a dude like Durham or Windham, no one ever gets pissed when they win. I guess you can make the argument that since those guys don’t normally win, people are psyched when they do. But I am saying that instagraming pics of yourself going mouth to mouth on a shot of magic elixir with a heavy set black woman is a good fucking move, for yourself and the sport. I firmly believe that if moto stepped in that direction and riders just came out with stuff like this showing that they all really do party and live like animals that the industry would turn into a better environment for everyone. But it has to be all the riders, just one or two will not do the job. Consider this the call to action: All pros should start instagraming pictures of themselves committing acts of general debauchery, for the good of the sport. It is what the drunken fore fathers of moto would have wanted.
