was disqualified in the final after his silencer fell of. I heard the silencer bolts threads had gone from the subframe. Jason was black flagged, but kept going until checker flag to prove that he can win. Jason was fastest all day long and today has really good chance to win the last race in his professional career. Cole Siebler is riding with torn ACL and a crash set him back in the final. Finn Toni Eriksson (naked champion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7W3UWlucg4) won, second was Swede Rasmus Sjöberg and third Finn Ludde Söderberg. Full results here: http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=2560248

Small and tight rack hold up quite nice, you can check out the video from testing the track earlier this week.

Also Toni Eriksson shows where you should not jump while trying to set the fastest time in qualification: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yrnElJbYQE

Go JT$! It'd be awesome if he could win his last race but he's a champion in my eyes either way.

I like JT$ but ignoring a black flag is stupid. The black flag isnt optional.

They can have my points, no problem. The 1st place prize money is in my wallet though. James if you think I'm pulling off while winning my last sx weekend ever, you're dreaming. A loud bike isnt going to make me change what I have to do. If it falls off again I will do the same thing.

Zip ties and baleing wire bro!

The Vitards demand you chug the victory champaign on the podium and make out with the trophy woman.

Wearing a viking helmet to the podium would be epic-lee cool also
