i think we can all agree our sport is dangerous enough without our new areal manoeuvres

but with them, it's just worse in my opinion and i'd rather watch the sport without em anyway.

what did they add to our sport over the weekend?

as RacerX mentions: Clement Desalle, who entered the weekend four points out of the lead, had a big crash in qualifying yesterday when he fell off the bike in mid-air attempting to scrub a tabletop and landed on his shoulder.

As MX Large mentions: Unfortunately in race two, VG92 and Kemea Yamaha Yamalube’s Damon Graulus whipped into each other and went down hard.

What do I think? I think before the day is over you will be scrubbed and keel hauled for suggesting that anything be done to prevent moto riders from their god-given right to hurt/maim/kill themselves.

In my humble opinion, the problem with low scrubs is dragging foot pegs, handlebars and feet, which causes a horrendous crash. Therefore we should regulate the width of footpegs, handlebars and no rider with a shoe size larger that a US 8/Euro 42 shall be allowed to ride moto or whip. Shorter pegs, bars, feet.....less scrub drag crashes. WinkWinkWink

unless you're using it to pass someone, or you know you're getting your photo taken..... they should be banned

I'm sure everyone has a similar story but I once had someones back wheel come within millimetres of my front wheel in the air with a whip on the 1st lap of a race when everyone was bunched. It made me so angry he was lucky I got past him on the next straight.

I don't have a problem with whips and scrubs but I think if you take someone out doing it, you should be penalized heavily.
