Or a bunch of spectating flaggers?!?!
Admittedly I've only just watched the first 450 moto but I only saw one blue flag coming into Henry hill when Eli was on Trey. And there must have been about a billion other times when it was needed.
Flaggers have gotta pick their game up, especially after the Weimer Mookie deal, it's pretty poor imho.

Guess he was in the way or such.

Saw a picture with your son and Dean Wilson throwing his arm in the air (and saw it in person). Apparently those blue things are hard to understand.. Maybe you should teach him some of that great knowledge you've garnered from your years in ama of how the blue flag works
Sounds like you need to talk to whoever the hell referees outdoors and ask him what the blue flag means. I bet you a hundred bucks it's not pull over.
Blue Flag: Indicates a rider is about to be overtaken by a faster rider. The overtaken rider should hold their line and not impede the progress of the faster rider.
They don't need to be blue flagging when the riders are two or three straightaways behind.
You wanna take pot shots at my son, how did you or your son do at the last four nationals?
Those of us in the bench racing threads know what im saying........it is hardly tolerable.
It's ok to be critical of things if it needs it Guy, and the flagging has been rubbish for a while, this year especially.

Like I said maybe you should have a talk with a ref because "pulling over" isn't what the blue flag means.
Were you going for "pop" shots? Or pot? Can't tell...
Not taking pop shots at your dear old son mike, all facts jack... He's a pro rider now and we discuss pro riders on this forum. Sooo
Like "pop" a nut is what your uncle did in your momma 9 months before your birthday.
When Matt is getting lapped by those guys he is making an effort to stay out of the main race line when they come by so as not to get in the way. He generally goes wide in the next corner. All Im saying is the blue flags are out way too early. He said they were waving over as lap before Martin lapped him in the second moto.
Getting lapped is not something most of these kidhs have much experience with, especially getting lapped by guys going that much faster and coming in bunches. It is not as easy as it looks and most of the kids getting lapped go wide in the next turn. That's what I meant by pull over.
Im pretty sure most of the guys getting lapped don't want to be in the way, Its a difficult situation especially without eyes in the back of your head. And relying on some 3rd party to be those eyes is even more difficult.
Cant wait for Millville, Go Bullfrog!!!
MX Sports guys have blue flags. Regular flaggers don't. I know HD is good, but it's not that good.
