On a week where we lose another rising star in the amateur ranks it would be nice if the SX track builders would ease up a bit on the riders. This track was obviously just a tad too treacherous. When you have the best riders in the world lawn darting one after another maybe it is time to go back to the drawing board

It seems to be hard to find the balance between to easy and too hard. The bikes are just real machines now days.

Tell them what they can do.

Tell them how they could of protected that racing accident between Trey and Jake?

Martin coming up short, that kid coming up short on the big tripple?

Do we just race around on a big flat track?

Im not sure what we could possibly do, if anything, I think the tracks are to easy and if we made them way more technical we could have have slower races and slower speeds.

It's just a matter of them trying to make difficult tracks for the pro's, sometimes one is going to be a little harder trying to find that line.

We saw the seasons most technical track and what seemed like a large amount of crashes and injuries tonight.

That section after the uphill turn made all of the riders look really awkward. To me that is poor design

It's called riding over your head. You've practised the track and should know your limit where you can and can't push it.

Track was great, no way a rider quads at Atlanta to the inside,the dirt was to dry,loose.

Tonite it was tacky down low and they were turning in and ripping the knobs off on exit.

Crazy seeing a lot of guys crashing tonight. Hope everyone is ok. I don't know how many riders need to get injured before someone does...
Something about it. Having back to back rhythms right off the start is so dumb bc you have guys landing on eachother bc you don't know if...
The guy infront of you will jump or not. I know as a racer, I cringe every time I see a short start into a long rhythm.

Btw it's not treys fault. He just like everyone else that's ever ridden a motorcycle has done some dumb things but this wasn't one of them.

Didn't look like they did a good job handling this one either IMHO. I understand they try not to throw a red flag but shit man they were still hitting the jumps?

Stupid track designers....I agree with Stewart, Tracks shouldn't have long rhythm sections on the first straight.

It just seemed to me that there were a awful lot of riders having a very difficult time with this track tonight.

The reason Dungey and Musquin backed it down in the mains were part points protecting and part lets get out of this mess in one piece.

Judging by tweets from some of the riders it is not just some of the fans that felt it was a little dangerous out there.
