3 mounds of dirt -triple. it is not four jumps to clear, it is 3.

So, if you jump the first jump and land onto the table is that considered "shorting" the so called triple? or is that a single to table?

A table is not a double, because there is no risk shorting the table, so it is a long single.
But can you clear a single?

The Sand section is not sand! IT is a lighter, grainier white/yellowish type of Dirt

Or is there no such thing as dirt? It's all sand. Just stickier, darker, more dense sand.

... I just don't see McGrath and Emig as guys that would call that a quad if they didn't really believe it was a quad. Feel like they've garnered a bit more respect from the sport to be looked at as "hype" men.

I don't care what anyone calls it. But Emigs reaction when AC hit it was awesome. To see a guy with Emigs credentials be so stoked,you know it's badass whatever you want to call it.

That wasn't even the biggest semantic "case" in the break down of the section:

A small part of me died when my bmx transplanted, childhood hero, called a blatant manual into the section a "wheelie."
I expect that from hill billy, huck it, dirt bikers with no bmx background but not from the king.

ugh, had to join to correct you slow folks. The number of safe places to land is what determines what type of jump it is. A tabletop has two, on the flat or on the downside, therefore it is two. Therefore, a single over a table to another single is a quad. Now you can delete this thread now that I have solved your issue.
There was a step down at a track that had a 5 ft flat spot st the top (safe place to land if i caught a little air), to a small down side (safe place to land), then another 10 ft of flat like the top of these tables (safe place to land) followed by the last downside which apparently is no longer condidered just the landing of the step down. If i jump to there, thats gotta be at least a quad. excellent, my dad will be proud..

Two simple rules to explain this:

Rule number 1: The "King of Supercross" is always right.

Rule number 2: If the "King of Suppercross" is wrong.........see rule number 1.

Couldn't bother reading all of this thread, but unless it looks like this ^^^^ it is not a quad. Just as a table top is not a double, jumping two doubles and a table is not a quad. Ive ridden for a long, long time and before this Supercross year never recall anyone claiming something so stupid. Nobody at the track is calling two doubles and a table a quad. Not unless they are some goon who is really pumped to have just jumped his very first "quad." I don't care what MC, Emig, GOAT, Jesus, Buddha or anyone else has to say about it. ^^^^ is a quad. Nothing else.

It doesn't matter if you consider it a triple or not. It's still called a quad. Laughing

If you follow riders on Instagram, I am pretty dang sure the "quad" thing is definitely to humor you guys. So far today RC has said "Quadilicious", Roczen has said "QUUUUUUAAAAAAADDDD!!!" The joke is on you guys Smile

Okay, so what do you call jumping a single, table top, single in one jump? You can't call it a triple, because it's not a single in the middle, it's a table top. Should we say single-table-single. No, I refuse. It should be illegal to describe something with such an exhausting phrase.

QUAD
It's called "tripling over a table".

End of story.

The end of this story happened in 2014, and you're still wrong.

From now on a table top can identify as whatever it wants. It shall go by it’s pronoun. “They”

That looks like only one mound of dirt to jump over but “they” is a double today 😂

I’m not either way for or against this but no matter how many times Ricky calls the whoops “hoops” have I ever followed suit. Similarly I can’t thank certain people ENOUGH despite the fact that RV can’t thank anyone and lastly I believe Emig calls loam “loom” Not sure if he’s talking moto or fabric weaving.

I’ve been on the edge of my seat this whole time wondering how the story would end.

The what is a triple onto the table? Wouldn't "triple over table" be landing on the backside of the table with 2 singles in front of it....AKA ANOTHER QUAD! landing where the x is: /\ /\ /``````\x triple-over OR quad is acceptable.
