450's is also the reason why lap times have become shorter in SX, faster bike and the track designs have changed to suite them.
Also a question, does anyone actually enjoy the sound of 20 450's going around in a stadium SX at once? I mean really, the sound becomes annoying after awhile I think. I know I don't go to a SX / MX for the sound like I did with 2 strokes, thats far more enjoyable as a fan just alone.
And you know a whole lot less about me than you do about him. You're in no position to judge me.
I do love to debate. It's great mental exercise. But I fail to see how that makes someone an egomaniac.
Seems like an egomaniac may be likely to try and label people he doesn't even know as egomaniacs. Takes quite an ego to come to a conclusion like that with such little real exposure to the people you're labeling.
In the beginning of the four-stroke era, raving wasn't very good at all. But the racers, tracks, and bikes are evolving, and raving is getting better.
One big problem early on was that it was really difficult to outbrake someone into a turn to pass them like you could on a two-stroke. It's still not good on that regard, but it's a lot better. I think the tracks are more to blame than the bikes now for that, though, because tracks with 90-degree turns lead to people all apexing the turn, so there aren't many passing opportunities. They need a lot more 180s for better racing.
And I also think that, on the "human" level, four-strokes undeniably require less skill and less talent to do jumps and the like. I think growing up racing two-strokes makes me a lot better rider even now than I would be had I only raced four-strokes. I also think a lot of the complaints about local tracks being dangerous are nonsense, because I think the danger is largely in people buying 450s and then thinking they can jump anything on the track. And they can. But they don't have the skills to know what to do when something goes wrong.
But at the top level, I don't think it takes less talent to do what THOSE guys do as opposed to the two-stroke days.
I mean, Reed was a top guy in both eras...
Fact is, they go a LOT faster on the 450s, because 450's are faster bikes.
This has been true from it's very first Supercross race. Henry was coming back from injury, hadn't raced in a while, but came out and blew the field away in Vegas.
Sure, going faster means faster hand / eye coordination, it also means more injuries & more severe injuries. I believe the injuries are in part because the 4 strokes enable slower riders to easily ride over their head. It takes a very talented rider, to make a 2 stroke get close to the 4 stroke pace.

Do you know something they don't?
"93 till infinity" is the name of that beat.
Much like MC's legacy.
Imagine if F1 sounded like shit? The sport would be gone and they know it. They are very protective of the sound and volume of that sport. MX on the other hand has volume limits and farting pig sounds.
