I dont know what the hell it is, but have you ever noticed how mostly all GNCC riders look like the biggest buncha Hill Billy Goobers??? Put Ballance, Borich and Yokely together, throw in a couple more GNCC riders and you look like you have the cast of a 'Cops-Running from the Law in Arkansas' episode.

Well, Ballance and Yoke are from Kentucky.
Have you ever been to Kentucky Mr. California? About 90% of Kentucky is all hillbillies, so no suprise there.
Some of the best riders we have are from Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee... what's the big deal?

Most city folks don't ride real good. Country = hillbilly = funny accent = lots of acerage = open spaces to ride = great riders!

Sorry, they don't wear flat brimmed black hats & DVS shoes ... I reckon that would get you shot son!
Borich is from Pennsylvanis, he's not a hillbilly at all.

I'd like to see how you can hang with the "goofy looking" GNCC riders!

I just got back from the WISP GNCC and I will tell you that the 2 straight hour race up ski slopes down loose rock through 2 ft deep mud holes takes one hell of an athlete hillbilly or not! I have a lot of respect for anyone that rides that severe of terrain for 2 straight hours! I want to ride wisp next year!

Ok, so I guess we have established that people from the eastern to central/eastern American region are ;

A- Accomplished riders.

B- Hill Billies (no disrespect intended), excluding those from the Pennsylvania area.

C- Have funny accents and lots of 'acreage'.

D- Believe that 'city folk' can not ride well, due to a lack of 'acerage'.

E- Have buck teeth, big lips, wear their ball caps backwards, and have a propensity to be seen in Oakley shades.

Its O.K., I understand that you are confused.

I made an intentionally inflamitory remark about the gerneral appearance of GNCC riders in my opinion, you take the bait like there is no tomorrow, and then go on to post generalizations about an entire portion of the country. If you re-read my remark, it is simply summaries of your rambling banter, which are in itself quite funny and back my original claim. I never once disparaged the riding abilities of the GNCC pros, they are probably the hardest riding group of them all. But back to the original subject of the post, I think GNCC riders are goofy looking bunch!

You guys are too funny...

Watching the atv show on espn2 and they interviewed Jerimiah Jones after his win...my wife and I both looked at each other and started laughing. The guy is a great rider no doubt...just talking to a national audience is not within his skill set!

Exactly. My entire point. These guys ARE from farms, rural places... they hunt, they fish, they ride quads.
That's what makes them so good at what they do. They are the best in the world, and it just so happens they come off a little hillbilly... but most are from below the Mason Dixon line. Everybody speaks that way.
Don't bash them... they are who they are.

Now that they are on TV, being interviewd on camera and such... some have PR firms they are working with to help them develop better "on camera" skills. It IS helping a bit, so we must be patient.

Our sport is 15 years behind the Dirt Bikes, we're still developing as whole.

Certain guys like Dunk, Luburgh, Brown, Spader... they are great on camera and on the mic.
Gust is ok, Ballance is ok, Jones is a quiet guy, he doesn't seem to like cameras in his face..
I laughed to when JJ was saying "Git that camera boy... git that camera" to his little boy - it was pretty bad I admit. But like I said, they are who they are.

Yoke is funny, the crowd loves Yoke... but he has a Kentucky accent and comes off a little hillbilly.. but that's part of his image. The younger generation of riders are less hillbilly - Bithell, Creamer, Upperman, McGill, Arno, Wienen.... they understand the importance to represent yourself well as a sponsored athlete.
