Crazy, sounds like the 250 riders are not even doing all the triples.

RX: Not having the whole field jumping triples takes me back to 95, 96 when 125's couldnt do everything

Windham's chain came off and he's pushing the bike off.

Maybe this is a "sign"?

So with all the injuries already, track builders made the jumps larger? Huh

the track builders are doing their jobs. they had the blue prints, so they build the track.
also, bigger jumps dont really mean anything. especially whoops. IMO the whoops need to be really big to slow them down. same with the big triples, if you cant do them, youre going slower. no?
its probably a lose lose anyways.

DC / MX Sports really need to look at this streaming UFC does, it is freakin INCREDIBLE!! Fully HQ, practically HD and you can pause / rewind.

Would LOVE to see MX streamed this well. Woohoo

That is true. I guess the perspective I'm looking at it from; I don't want to seem someone come up way short because they are going for it and injuring themselves. I've always believed bigger/slower whoops are much better than super fast ones.

They just finished up a round of track grooming and watering. It's hot and breezy here.

I'm thinking they will be sub 1:02.5 before the end of the night. Hard to predict since Red Arrow didn't do a complete lap in the preview.
