Knowing how the linkage works is part of racingSmile Learned in the 70's how to look at the starting mechanism and find the "Loose Link" and then work to get the first gate pick!

I dunno about the holeshot, but Coombs needs to pass out airhorns and flags to everyone that buys a ticket to a national. The vibe from the crowd is awesome in that vid.

2 things I noticed: 1. AC's gopro looks just as fast if not faster than RV's. 2. The GPs look like they attract more spectators who are alot more engergized and excited than the US nationals do! IMO of course

I can't believe that the anti-KTM patrol hasn't been on here claiming there is no way that's a 350. Somebody tell us again how you can judge by the sound.Whistling

the bigger it is, the dots turn gray. Now I'm seeing dots everywhere!

How cool would it be to just have some exhibition shootout races, for RV vs Cairoli, and Herlings vs Tomac? They could have a set in Europe and a set in the US.

Doesn't that Mulisha Nation advertisement look like a reality show waiting to happen? Or like a series or something?

Please explain what I'm supposed to be looking at & what's so dodgy? I remember listening to Bob Hannah's podcast with Matthes and he claimed that Belgium officials cheated while dropping the gate on a race there. He then said he became good fiends with the gentleman later in life and he admitted to cheating. Then the guy said now we are friends and I will cheat for you. Thought it was funny but a little disturbing.

Better yet, lets bring the bee hive to US Moto and give every entrant one of these
