No sand section - shame, cause a few people problems at A1 and seemed to produce some action.

They should make that entire middle bit with the 180 a sand section.

I agree about triple's are becoming lame. I never would have thought that 10-15 years ago. So much power now. I personally find the dragon back's that can be doubled very interesting, but doubt they would help keeping the field tight, as whoever has the flow over it will check out.

The one that obviously had an issue going up the face of the jump?

So one guy all day cases it on a privateer 250f and it's suddenly still something that's hard to do?

I saw a lot more than one rider case them during practice. Laughing

3 on-offs on the track = boring

3 on-offs in a row = technical

IMO anyway


Come on phx!!!

Hit the wall jump and double into the triple. Who knows if it's possible from looking at an animated track map. Sounds good anyway

It's 180 degree first turn that gets super narrow compared to a lot of the tracks this year that are 90 degree first turns. The first few guys out front are gone because it's going to bottleneck more than usual.

Anybody talking about the triples being lame or taking them out..... Seriously? I know it sounds tough to say "triples are so yesterday, I could like, jump them like a million times and totally walk away". There is nothing more traditional than a triple jump in SX and is part of the spectacle for fans. If you haven't noticed over the past few years, the track builders are getting better about making the jumps bigger and steeper and more '90s'. Not so much of something you scrub on a 450, but something that launches you up, not out.

I realize hardcore guys here on Vital makes triples look easy, but to say they don't belong in SX anymore is about the dumbest thing I have heard here all week (and that is saying something).
