Just barely caught it on tv, 250 guys were clearing it in practice...looked like he tried it to catch Marvin?

He just landed a bit sideways off the jumps. Ruts were pretty bad and some of the faces were pretty chewed out. Great racing in both 250 races.

Yea he was right on Marvin with a lap and a half to go, but got hung out to dry with a lapper and lost a couple of seconds. He went wide in that corner and tried sending that double...came up short and kinda high sided. He hit the ground pretty hard. A few guys did that double in practice, but didn't see one person jump it during the motos 250 or 450.

He needs to channel that aggression. 3 hot head moments in the last 2 races. Podium, take out attempt, that jump.

All part of learning. Can't be easy for him being in the same rig as Martin and not being in the hunt.

I also believe he tried the double coming up the hill before the Screw U and cased it big time.... luckily not getting hurt!

cooper hit it one other time but just like that time the camera moved away just as he was leaving. I don't know if he cased it that time before but he didn't wreck. It was the only person I caught trying it.

Wouldn't know. NASCAR was about an hour late and didn't get to see a complete lap of the second moto. But I did get to see nascar panzy boys get in a fight after the race. Boohoo you almost wrecked me in my safe roll cage, carbonfiber seat and safety harness.
Can we not sign with NBCSN next year and just let MAVTV have both motos?

I saw him get over it at least once , maybe twice on the TV feed, and he looked like he was over it ok when he crashed but obviously wasnt... i think he pulled the same move on Savatgy that he tried on Marvin, and made it stick , but unless he calms down , he wont last long on the 450.
