Maybe he was just just trying to keep his balance in the 1st moto, but it looked to me like he was sticking his leg out at
Webb on the uphill @ 2:05 the same way my jackwagon buddies and I do whenever we pass each other. Hopefully it was all in fun. And Grant between 2:15 and 2:20 looks more like RC in his prime than anyone....damn gnarly.

Kinda reminded me of this earlyer this year.



I guess the Grant one was purely balancing... Hills are steep!!

I still can't believe he pulled off that one corner slide, coolest rip I've seen caught on camera in a long time

I think he stuck his leg out to try and get Coop to shut off early coming up the hill

Yeah that one slide was gnarly, nice to watch that guy ride when hes on it

One thing that Febvre said afterwards was that they had to make changes for how fast Glen Helen is...they weren't used to the speed. He said their tracks are a lot tighter and more compact.

RV said the same thing...I can't imagine the Suz's being that slow...probably gearing and mapping. Whatever it was it was very evident on the start.

Didn't he go right into wheelie mode right after that, too. I almost spilled a very expensive, highly toxic IPA on my doggie.

Yep.

That would have been tragic for all parties.

Grant may as well be rockin' a steel shoe! ...and a champion framed 450 with no front brake.

Grant's pass on Cairoli at 7:15 of the video, top of the hill, was also a thing of beauty.

I am thoroughly impressed with Coop on the 450.

I feel better about the MXoNs after watching him this weekend.

Yeah, Grant has some serious skills. Love watching him when he's on it. I hope his awesome weekend lands him a good ride and he carries some momentum into next season.
