Surratt's Lesson in Block Passing- Sequence Pics

We had Todd Gutierrez shooting pics for us out at the Milestone Super-X Invitational and he caught Ryan Surratt's "aggressive" pass on Axell Hodges in the amateur race. I grew up with Ryan's pops "Wild" Willie Surratt and I have no doubt Willie taught Ryan how to make a block pass stick. Laughing

You can see Todd's full gallery in "Photo Fix: – 2013 Monarch Moto Super X Invitational"

Without video it's hard to tell, but doesn't look like a take out to me, looks like a block pass and the top guy didn't pull up.

You should edit the title to how to make a SX block pass. It's not Surratt's fault Hodges didn't anticipate the move.

I use the word take-out loosely. I envy a great block pass, and that was a great block pass. I'm a firm believer in, if you leave the door open, expect to have it slammed on you. If what happened to Axell happened to me, my pops would not have been mad at Ryan, he would of been upset at me for leaving the door wide open.

Don't go wide and leave the inside open. Should be titled "How to open yourself up to a block pass".

What do you mean "we had Todd Gutierrez shooting pics for us"?

Who's we? Like you and your mom? You and your sister?

All these supposed moto media moguls should start providing full disclosure when using other people's media outlets for promotion. Dang!

I'm just busting your balls Dan because I know all about the Steve Cox thing and his hissy fit. So don't get too upset.
But seriously, Matthes promotes his podcasts on here, MXPTV does his deal, Geoff Meyer always has to throw his 0,02 € in, Nerd is quick to point out his little interviews and editorials as well. The self promotion is rampant on here and I would like to know who is behind the promotion when I see it. So with all due respect, who the fuck is WE????

Was a great set up, and great pass opportunity that was executed by the 51 flawlessly. 96 should of almost expected that one!

I think the best block passers know how to stay up when a block pass is executed on themselves.

He didn't gain an adavantage or position, so that was legal in my eyes.

Aggressive, but text book. Don't go high. What better spot is there on a dirtbike track to assert your dominance?

I feel your your last question. With what I am paying to be on this site the amount of rampant self promotion has me considering asking for my money back.

The watermark dealio on the picture says MotoXAddicts so that's the "we" in question.

On topic it is great seeing the sons of former and current racers progress.

There was a lot of block-passing going on at Milestone. In some cases, it was about the only way to get a pass made, unless the rider in front made a big mistake.



Dean figured out quickly that Jake Canada was coming on the inside, and managed to check up and avoid contact.

Yeah, Guy B, they didn't show a lot on the stream. They seemed to only follow the top one or two. I noticed you and Todd got both sides of this Schmidt-Endicott exchange.

Goerke complained quite a bit about Schmidt's riding.
