Nice!

I thought the lane would be wider, looks a little too narrow...

Love the sound of a smoker hammering through a set of whoops!

That does look quite narrow. Hopefully they have enough room to scrub at each other and not get too sketchy

Sure as hell is jumping high, just like he said, but man he did hammer those whoops, I doubt that will make up for the big air though.

He needs to learn how to scrub.

You guys realize it's practice right? I'm sure he got up to speed on his next lapTongue

You would loose all of your momentum if you tried to scrub that section. It would turn into a series of doubles and you would slam into every jump face.

I still don't think the scrub will be the fastest way through this course. I think the scrub is only usefull on tripples and finish line jumps. It's really hard to build momentum while scrubbing through a tight rhythm section.

It's weird how much that sounds like a 250.

I just saved a video from the net once before. It was RC practicing with his RM250.

Now I saved another one.

Got wet.

hahaha really? Looked like he was just cruising during a practice session to me. Come race time I'm sure they will ALL be up to speed.

Well if Travis don't break the frame it should end any doubt I ever had about AF500's.

Why scrub when he can bonzai the whoops? I think that's where he's gonna make up his time tomorrow.

I'm guessing James goes 3-3-4 in that same section...

That 500 sounds good tho!

How demoralising is that if you get beaten by a dude who drives cars and jumps into a foam pit?!

If you watch closely in SX, you'll see that the top guys are scrubbing rhythm sections all the time. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stewart scrub there.

Travis in that whoops section is absolutely nuts! I would feel safe saying that a 500 has never been ridden through a whoops section quite so wildly. The power wheelie was off the hook.

Hahahahaha!

In braytons defense he cased the crap out of the double before that section but i think pastrana still had him beat (it was close)

Very Cool!

He needs to bring that bad boy to the MEC Cup! I'm sure that they could find some way to allow him to race it!

I don't think there's anything that says he can't. Isn't the MEC "run whatcha brung?"
