He looks far better than I thought he would, especially this early on in the testing phase with the new Yamaha. Everybody knows that chassis is a different animal. In fact, I predicted it wouldn't fit his riding style at all. I couldn't have been more wrong.

With that said, the CR22 haters should probably get ready to eat a few more shit sandwiches this SX season....

He looks good for sure and that was exciting to watch...but it's not like the other racers were far off either. There's something about American supercross tracks which make off season races somewhat irrelevant as a data point for gauging speed and speculating how riders will perform relative to one another..in the AMA series.

How off would you think they'd be on a 30 second lap?!

Great promo for Yamahas- Loved the short-cut lane. Hope they use that in the Monster Cup. Great coverage of a great race!

Just watched all of them. Great racing. It is obvious Reedy wants a Yami deal and is not done.

That was great, I knew the results but had missed the vids. Cheers.

What's the rule on that fly by lane? You can use it from lap 2 on?
I thought if they make it shorter than the normal track then everyone would use it as early as possible to make up track position. Doesn't seem like that, worked out great.

Fly by lane was great. Reedy looked good.. I predict a good 2016 season for him.

all i can say (assuming 22 gets the Yamaha ride), is he better not complain about the blue cornering ability; the Webb/Chad corners were intense!

Fly by rule: "can only be used once and not on the first or last lap."

I like how positive Chad was in relation to Cooper Webb. Good race and glad to see blue bikes up front!

I wish the Saturday night got a main like this Sad Still awesome none the less.

Really cool to see all you foreigners stoked on this race too, would be really good for this to become the next big thing for Aus MX.

Yeah, we posted the SX1 and SX2 main events, as well as Reed vs Carmichael, and Superpole. [url=http://www.motoxaddicts.com/2015/12/08/2015-aus-sx-open-all-the-sx1-sx2-action-in-hd/]You can click here to watch them all[/url]. Or...

Damn, just my luck. I was pumped to watch them but now it says they have been taken down.

EDIT: I was able to watch the last race the OP posted thanks!

I took 3 things away from that race...

1. Its been awhile since ive seen Yamaha have 4 bikes up front like that, really cool to see them get back to the top.

2. Webb is a bad dude already on the 450, he just keeps getting better and better. I think he is going to win the West this year.

3. Big props to Reed for being such a class act and giving a shoutout to Webb, respect is rare these days! Awesome race. bring on 16'

Same here... bit gutted as I've managed to avoid the results thus far. Dan, you reckon you can stick them up again somewhere private for us guys to watch?

killer race!

2 things:

1 - the fly by lane was awesome, a great way to get around someone riding a wide bike. i like this idea much more than the Joker (slow you down) lane. Reed should have saved it to use on Reardon.

2 - how did Webb end up with the overall? do they not combine? didn't he finish 3rd or 4th the first night?

I've wondered the same thing. Reed was 1st and 2nd on the two nights, Webb was 4th and 1st. Oh well, not that it really matters.

The Sat night race was round 5 of a 6 round championship (round 6 was 1 week later in Melbourne), Sunday was a 'stand alone' race with no points to the championship.
