The level of recent higher-transparency throughout the industry in interviews is awesome and has been overdue. Great content! Thanks!

[@badbilly1083]

HONESTY is refreshing

[@PaulRichards78]

Much respect to Coops for this very candid interview Its a treat to hear whats going on on the inside

[@legendarybeefcurtain9502]

You can see it in his eyes he looks tired and needs a little break, I hope he comes back good as ever !

[@zachwilson7061]

Taking mx off I think will be huge

[@realBkay]

Webb-er, I cheered for u last season, I cheered for this season an I’ll b cheering for u in 2023. Keep ur head up, God bless u.

[@lonh8554]

Cooper Webb is one the most tenacious riders I have ever seen in all my 50 years of following moto and supercross. He's a bad ass on a bike and tough as nails. Good luck Mr Cooper, we will be rooting for you. You got this man.

[@jimbo4203]

Enjoyed watching Coop his whole career , always liked how he fights for it , I think he's got some more wins in him

[@jcobra09]

It’s a safe bet to make, I think.

[@tbmdd]

We all knew something was up! Glad he's finally shedding some light on it all.

[@davebanfield6251]

Gotta love Coop, he's willing to admit he's wrong. He's by far my favorite rider, because he's got unbelievable grit and determination. Kid is something special and he's one of the best of this generation 💯

[@lukefish7562]

Yep and he’s a NC boy like myself (I know who cares😁) and gives all glory to God. Which IMO is cool. ✌🏽🏍💨

[@kevinhoopes5711]

Nothing about this season showed grit or determination. He pussed out when Tomac and anderson showed some of the best riding they've ever done.

[@justpauls]

Good to hear what happened to him this past season, Coop is my favorite rider.

[@toddmatson4179]

Refreshing and honest interview from Cooper Webb...He changed my whole view of him...Another great interview from Steve the Great

[@Ryan-hw4ug]

Great interview. Great job sharing your perspective Coop!

[@fuellerr]

WOW what a great interview, really cool to see Cooper be really open about all this

[@nicobotello8080]

[@robertwoods2505]

Looking forward to Coop's racing in 2023. Best of luck always brother.

[@ztndrummer]

He was a VERY good co-host! Hope to have him back in the future again.

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

This interview changed my view on Cooper. He's a good guy...a fan now. True guy who's brutally honest

[@fincity1964]

Another great episode! Love CW's honesty.

[@joshstreet3939]

Webb is an honest person and that's what we need. Alot of riders hide shit and just roll with everything and that what gets them hurt. It's great to see someone actually talk about something that makes them uncomfortable and effect the way they ride. No need to jeopardize someone's future and career

[@aceseightscustoms778]

Wasn’t much of a fan before this, honestly, it’s nice to hear his perspective instead of the bland pre programmed responses. These athletes aren’t superhuman…. Though many seem close to it. I’ll be rooting for Webb next Sx season, can’t wait to see what he does and willing to bet he comes out swinging! (I really thought we would see him with a different factory backing though)

[@zachwilson7061]

It'll just make it feel that much better when you're winning again put your head down and keep grinding you got this

[@TheJGJR9]

aldon must be crushing these guys cuz JA21 said the same thing basically😂

[@ronk6553]

Not enough recovery time. Need more peds to push that pace.

[@northcountrywoodcraftny5953]

I love coop, such a winning mindset all the time " I do whatever it takes to win " i respect that alot

[@tomballesteros4673]

That man knows EQUIPMENT. He’s is a great Supercross champion. Speaks from the heart. Knows the difference in changes in equipment..

[@toveyashby-crashbyproducti6366]

Breath of fresh air to hear some honest insight. Riding at that level seems easy to burnout.

[@chestermcgillicuddy4368]

The size of the balls on this dude! Webb is a serious, serious champ! I've always loved and the supported the guy as an awful lot of people have! That won't change! He's a FN machine with his defense Spidey sense boys! That's abnormal and crazy impressive! Besides his increadible angry speed too! What a champ! Sorry for the pathetic sentence structure. I'm Canadian and am full of copious amounts of hops, barely and water after a long yet productive work week. Great upload!

[@82lowe36id]

These interviews are awesome. Been so tired of the canned "podium speech" answers. This is the insaide look that we all want. Hope Cooper takes some much needed time off and comes back fresh.

[@diligafifunouno641]

Yooo fuck that click bait man. I was bout to cry. 💔 when he got landed on and kept goin I became an instant fan!

[@bigdaddyspeeddemon]

Coop has always been one of my favorites. If they get that bike set up right for him he's going to be hard to beat. I can see Eli Jason and Coop fighting for that title

[@aaron337]

Can't believe he said that Jett is on pace and Hunter isn't

[@codyhorn348]

That’s just how some guys are. Great racer’s but mediocre at practice. AC even said it about himself in an interview, “there’s local amateurs at tracks faster than me on practice day, but when the gate drops something clicks”.

[@evanburke4269]

I’m still a big coop fan. I stay on the boat I choose to ship on. Sink or swim

[@mattlange610]

Definitely a hard nosed racer for sure! I hope he keeps going for a few more years. Maybe it was my imagination, but did anybody else see him in practice at Daytona smack his front fender in mid air over the triple to correct the front end direction of the bike through the air??!?! That freakin totally blew me away, as I've never seen anyone do that in my life!!!! What a bad ass!

[@onlygazza]

Very honest of him taking the blame himself but just as a person watching you could see that the bike was extremely stiff looking compared to other bikes

[@onlygazza]

@Cameron j I know but Marvin has a totally different set up from cooper, go watch a race from the year before and it reacts very different

[@ronaldtravis970]

I think Webb will make an Epic return to winning form next SX season 🤘 Guy is a 2 time 450 SX champion ,Never count this guy out !

[@trustenbaker8766]

Love Webb. He's one of the only guys that thanks the Lord, and that is such a huge deal!

[@motoxray]

Funny, that's one thing I really dislike about him. Different strokes, huh!

[@stricknine8623]

​@@motoxray That is a very strange thing to dislike about someone. VERY strange.

[@motoxray]

@@stricknine8623 Interesting that you find it so strange. I know of many people who are fed up with the, usually American, practice of constantly shoving their religious beliefs down everyone's throat at every opportunity. Most of us don't go around trying to showcase the intricacies of their belief system to all & sundry, & I would appreciate it if others were to do the same. It's like spruiking your political affiliations on the podium, or any other "thing" that has no relevance to what is being presented. He's free to believe whatever he chooses, just have the good grace to keep it to himself. If you want to preach, go do so with others who believe in the same fantasy.

[@oldmoto5009]

Webb needs to switch teams for a fresh start

[@candicemartin1888]

What does this say for the Lawrence's?? Went away to get a cup of perspective What the program over there Not good enough ?? Not fast enough guys there to push him ???

[@Powersparky59]

Remember when jeremy wanted his 93 chassis ? Changing a good frame that works makes no sense and why did barcia get to use old frame and cooper could not ?

[@nzbear6236]

How the heck does Matthes call Webb an "all timer" but struggle to give Tomac that same title. Strange logic

[@slimbrady6691]

The episode he said he struggled to call Eli an all-timer came out before this one so maybe after having that conversation about it with RC and MC, he's come to terms with the fact that Eli is an all timer and Coop is as well.

[@motoxray]

He would also do better to quit the smack talk like he was doing with Roczen, it said more about Webb then anything else. I do wish him well for next season.

[@peterlanders3900]

As long as he doesn't retire at 27/28

[@DaleEarnhardtsSeatbelt]

I am hard on cooper. after this im gonna go a bit easier on him he definitely earned alot of respect from this.

[@channel1_channel]

Yeah...burn out for these guys is all too real, and so much will not get told to the fans.

[@reallyemptypockets6509]

I think Coop is naturally the fastest rider, but I think that natural ability makes it harder for him to do the grueling mundane working out. Versus a Dungey who in my opinion was a naturally fast rider but he Excelled at the off track stuff. Just my opinion.

[@bardinkurtis]

Sucks he's back with KTM. I would of like to see a change. Kinda feel like he's going to finish his career with KTM now and that's a bummer imo.

[@wfoholeshot8614]

Webb won the Championship on a 2021 KTM, how then is the 2022 production bike (almost always modeled after the year before) be so off ?

[@maaduece5132]

Seems bizarre that a company as organized as KTM would be off with the bike . But it would be interesting to know how much input is coming from the the top euro pros vs the US guys in terms of bike development. As I would of thought each group of guys would be asking for something a little different

[@mickpentoney2172]

Coop is my favorite rider but men run all MX businesses (Roger D., Mitch Payton, Lars, Davey Coombs) and this is why the sport and its athletes will never evolve to the level of other sports financially. Like Roczen, the sport is dangerous, we get it, but the money paid out is only a small part of the whole program that is spent. Outside of MX , Men/Women run companies and they don't comprehend anything Coop or Roczen is selling with "burn out". All you Loretta Lynn folks, guys like Coop and Roczen is why you won't make the money you deserve in the future. Riders are too unstable.

No he wouldn’t have. It’s been so hard being an Eli fan because of his inconsistency but he has more than twice the wins coop does and 3 outdoor titles where the men are separated from the boys I don’t think coop even has an outdoor win.
