Just coming back after more than a year without racing, fastest in both practice and race 1. Was going to win first moto before he crash.

So far so good.

While I admire him trying to jump that jump, I think it was absolutely unnecessary and dangerous and it bit him in the ass. Could've been podium finish for sure.

If he can keep it on two wheels he could be a threat to win the championship. If not... well let's not go there just yet. One of the most talented riders to come along in the last ten years. I hope he has a long and successful career. And did I mention, let's hope he keeps it upright and finishes a series in one piece.

His corner technique and speed is so good, just perfect.

Yes they are, and he's got very large young man's balls. He'll fire up anything.

I get what your saying but maybe don't use the words "young man" and "large balls" in the same sentence next time... A little creepy

Was his first crash the result of doing the jump? I didn't see a replay.

AC will do well as the season passes, I can see him clicking off moto wins by mid season. Looked fast yesterday, but needs a bit more seat time with the front runners. Once that happens; watch out!

I hope he stays healthy. We don't need another Broc Hepler. I say this not to bash either rider as both are enormously talented. It will be just a shame if he can't develop to his maximun potential.

But they showed him riding up the side road of the upramp when they cut to Georgia? You'd think he'd have broken himself or something casing that and crashing out...?

He crashed going into the turn right before the Fly 150.

He did air out the big jump and came up a little short...but didn't crash it there!

You are right, it was in the corner before the jump.

He got out of shape in that same section a lap or two before he bailed.

He was coming right at me before his second moto crash going into the half pipe. Wish I had the camera ready for that one!

Here's a pic of Eli from where I was standing:

I know it's cost and difficulty, but they need to get some more cameras and drop the super high shit everywhere, that photo you've got is awesome and really illustrates the inclines/declines etc...

Agreed. All the cameras seem to be up on scissor lifts. In the background of that photo is an awesome step up jump and on TV it doesn't have near the impact it does in person. I plan to post more pics later today...but right now, headed out to the track myself!

Crush is right he crashed before the 150 in moto 1, I was right next to the 150 when he hit it and landed it smooth from what I saw

Nope, just kept on riding, didn't lose a position or slow down.

It also shows how far Tomac was out in front...and that must've been early on before he checked out for real.

Adam crashed on that little step down before the Fly 150. It looks like he low sided coming out of the rut off the takeoff and just lost his balance mid-air, and fell down when he landed.

Look the kid has grown something like 5" and gained like 35 lbs from the time he got injured till yesterday. I feel like that has had an effect. He does need to learn to back off a bit as it is a long season. I love his riding style and his aggressiveness, but he will not last until he gains some self control.

When his right wrist becomes as smart as his mouth he will be as fast as the leaders. He's got some seat time learning to do but skills coming out his ears. I'm digging that kid.

Yep...after the first few laps I put the phone in my pocket and marveled at the ass kicking I was witnessing!
