Interesting that the air in his front tire has a higher ratio of carbon monoxide than the air in his rear tire. Is this a new set up feature to reduce engine braking while throwing a whip in the whoops?

AC29? AS29 you mean? I have heard Shorty is considered a dirty rider in a few polls by other riders, so maybe it was karma?
Yeah I meant AS my bad...

Most factory teams run a complex ratio of oxygen, carbon monoxoide, and helium. I just noticed that BT101's bike has a higher than usual ratio of carbon monoxide in the front tire. Maybe that is just for doing starts (reduced front wheel spin off the gate) and then the extra lever injects more helium into the front tire after the first corner?

Butt hurt is an understatement. I bet your Vag still has sand in it from '02 when RC took out Pastrana for the win.

Let it go, Brah. They both have. Not to mention Short has always been known as a rough rider.

catch ya on the flip side

He wouldn't have gone down had he not messed up the two sections leading up to the corner and missing the main line by taking a blown out one.

Love the twotwo bike, one of the best looking bikes this year (if not the best) IMO.

No, karma was Townley's moto 2 at the MXdN that day.
Shorty even commented on that incident and he wasn't butt hurt about it at all, it was racing

You think they did anything besides changing the number?
I sure hope they did! Last I checked BT101 was 15lbs (+/-5) heavier than CR22 and I highly doubt their riding style is the same (i.e. steering damper, minor fork changes, bar position among other things).

Awesome looking bike none the less. Hopefully he'll be a podium finisher for twotwo until Reed can come back.

I think it is something driven into the wall behind the bike; not something mounted to the handlebar.
