Reed still has that perfect form! So rad!

[@mattburkeen820]

100%! Was stoked to see him out there

[@brysonmoore6877]

Sad people are jealous that he’s still doing what he loves years after retiring.

[@mattburkeen820]

Me too! Dude just wants to race!

[@cornbread3497]

It’s all the people like me that have to race him😂😂😂

[@fultonbenjamin9022]

They should invite Ricky, James, Chad, Vilapodo, and the rest of the old guard to a race tour. Hell, they would get more spectators than AMA supercross!

[@mattburkeen820]

That would be epic!!

[@natel7382]

It would have to be a 3 lap race. RC lasts a lap before he's done. Watching him on the triumph at smx I could tell he was over it after the 2nd turn. I wonder how stew rides, or if he just golf's now.

Agree, Chad makes the track look easy. Amazing talent.

[@damonforrest1570]

I always thought it was weird watching your heroes grow up and get older right in front of you. Like watching your favorite movie star at his prime and then when he gets a lot older, it just feels weird. I’ve watched a lot of people grow up to the point where you don’t even recognize them anymore. Getting old sucks it’s all I can say. To all you younger people out there, you must enjoy your youth cause it flies by quickly. If you haven’t made a good life for yourself at an earlier year. You can spend the rest of your days just wishing for a second chance to do it differently. Speaking to all from the heart and experience. Make your youth really count. And try not to let down the ones you love. I wouldn’t blabber on if I didn’t care about people.✌️🙏💯🤙🇺🇸🙌👊👍👌✊☝️

[@mattburkeen820]

🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@Nerff554]

This is a bad take. Getting old is a gift that comes with wisdom. Guarantee Chad had just as much fun doing this with his family as he did racing a national. Getting older gives you perspective on what really matters in life. Don’t fuck these kids over by making them romanticize youth. Youth culture is already out of control. My sister turned 30 and wanted to end her life. That’s fucking ridiculous there’s so many good times to be had in all stages of life. I’m tired of seeing comments like this.

Chads going to be own new Mike Brown. As in being retired but still kicking ass. Any rider that gets older and still wins, that’s pure raw talent. A person can’t replace riding for any other sport. Not once you get that feeling that motocross can give you. It’s irreplaceable unless you have a family.🤙🇺🇸💯🙏✌️🙌

Reed has been at Dade City racing cash races against all the up and coming 250 & 125 championship kids. He could go out and qualify and pull top 15 in an outdoor national race, right now in 450’s. Nobody really wants to bang bars with a 200# Chad Reed.

[@mattburkeen820]

He’s a bad dude that’s for sure!

[@dkcampbell3]

With the field right now I doubt 15th would be in the cards. Maybe 20th-25th. He is looking sneaky fast though.

Unlike supercross, MX nationals could easily implement more races like vets/ 40+ or even add a 250 2 stroke race similar to the old days when they had a 500cc open class

For the dummies that don’t know the rules of Loretta’s, anyone who has a pro license cannot race. I think there’s a two year clause or something like that. So yes Reed or any ex pro can race if they qualify at the area and regional qualifiers. This qualifier was the easy Area qualifier that gets you to the Regional which takes top 6 to get to Loretta’s in each class.

[@mattburkeen820]

Yea I think he will only race Loretta’s if his kids make it

[@jerryhill4893]

Who was that gangster in second in + 30. ? Haas? He's fast as shit. Thanks. Also, it looks like Reeds rear rebound is off the mark. Rear end almost throwing him over the bars on kicker faces.
