Supercross Power Rankings: Round 4

Before we get into what was once called the Slaw/Troy Dog Weekly Power Rankings, we have a new name: The Slaw/VurbWes/Troy Dog Weekly Power Rankings. VurbWes got all jelly and wanted to be a part of these. Well, in HIS first week, he has already made his own rules. Not cool, brah. Welcome to second place, Dub Dub. Troy Dog is always and forever in third place.

Welcome to the 2023 Slaw/VurbWes/Troy Dog Combined 250/450 Top Ten Power Rankings! Slaw, WES, and Troy each have created their own list of who they believe carry the most power in the sport. They each have created their own categories and have weighted these riders accordingly, whether its speed, following, SX skills, you name it.

Each week these rankings will be updated so that you guys can argue about how wrong they are in the comment section! Feel free to tell us if we’re right/wrong/or completely dumb. As always, email all complaints to Jason Weigandt.

Slaw’s Pre-Anaheim 2 Power Rankings

Slaw: I will bullet point my thoughts so it is easier to read. Troy Dog has a hard time reading, so I’m making it easy for him to see how much better my rankings are.

What a glorious win by Mister Wil Hahn!
Tomac, duh!
Jett, duh!
JA’s Twitter is so hot rn.
BamBam back on the podium! How can you not have him on?
Great to see AC back up front!

Troy Dog’s Pre-Anaheim 2 Power Rankings

Troy Dog: I put Joe Burrow first because he’s taken a team that I’ve watched lose my whole entire life and has made them elite. Benny Bloss and I will be watching this AFC Championship game closely on Sunday and sending one another petty texts. In Joe Sheisty I trust. Also on this list is Eli Tomac. Cooper Webb is here to stay and the rest of the crew is filing in. Deleted tweets by Jason Anderson also makes it the list as does my best buddy VurbWes who is making Slaw Dog act on his best behavior lately. Also, when Mookie wins one of these he’s automatically third on the list.

VurbWes’ Pre-Anaheim 2 Power Rankings

VurbWes: The Anaheim 2 Vurbmoto Power Rankings Vurbwes edition coming to you live from my Airbnb in San Clemente, CA where I quite literally just got done with a 30-minute hot tube sesh. I may or may not have just started the fireplace and cracked an ice-cold Aquafina to relax and hash out these powerest of power rankings.

As I’ve already stated, I’m really proud of myself for my rankings last week as they were single-handedly responsible for lighting that fire under Cooper Webb’s ass. But, now, I’ve gotta give credit where credit is due: Eli Tomac moves to the top, barely being edged out by this swank leather couch I’m typing from. If you didn’t already know, he’s only a few wins after from passing RC!!!11! That undoubtedly deserves this coveted number two position on this list.

Jessica Hare – aka @J_ReedPhotos – one our main staple photographer here at Vurbmoto rounds out the podium. You know the saying, “A Race Late and a Picture Short”? Yea, neither did Jessica. She said a few expletives at whoever made up that dumb saying and shot like 4,000 images from San Diego, clearly making up for our absence at the opening ~~two~~ rounds. Great work, Jess.

My video archive, which consisted of Haiden Deegan 65s, World Mini, and Carson Mumford 2014 posts this past week alone, is definitely the best thing to happen to Instagram, like, ever. It should honestly be #1. Whoever made this list is stupid.

I shot with Sexton Tuesday. He’s coming in HOT to Anaheim 2. That’s all there is to it, and we now know Cooper is going to be rightttt there. Sexton mentioned he hopes all three races are just heaters. We’ll hope the same.

Mad Dogs always have a spot on this list, congrats BamBam.

Next up, Jordan Troxell, Colt Nichols mechanic. He’s entered into a Burpee contest with Wil Hahn that takes place in 2.5 weeks. The first to 100 burpees wins. Jordan is the definitive underdog, and we’re going all in on him, just like we did the Cowboys on Fanduel last weekend.

Coney Island Dog should’ve been higher, but dam this week was STACKED with power. Stoked to have this dog back and writing Clueless and Unquotables, the next best things on this site besides the stuff I spend time writing.

Finally, PulpMX Fantasy in tenth. It’s the worst invention ON EARTH so you know what, it’s not even worth the mention here. But at least I SMOKED Slaw Dog last weekend. That’s all that truly matters.
