They can go up and down the hills 6 or 8 times without touching the REM track. Should make for better spectating.

Someone I spoke to said it's due to TV coverage. Not the the race itself but the 2 laps after the 30 minutes needing to be around the 2 minute mark in order to get everything in

They didn't always have that and it was still bitchen... it's even better when they run over there though, imo.

I would think a tape delay by like an hour or so would solve alot of problems in both mx and sx. Then they dont need a bunch of boring filler stuff between the races and turn a 3 hour broadcast into 2 hours. But Im sure theres much more to it than how easy i made it sound. But one can dream.

That's a bummer only because the jump coming over Mt. Whitney into the REM section was UH-MAZING for flat, pancaked whips. I think it was 09' when Windham and Grant were having a whip contest there and blowing minds.
They never let people over there for spectating, so if you dug-in on the side of the hill by Mt. St. Helens like we do, you kinda lost the riders for a while over there, so that's kinda cool they'll be more visible for the masses...

Either way, we can't wait, it's finally back "home" for 14' Smile
