I thought that getting the start straight up into the stands would free up a lot of floor space... but then they extended it all the way to the far side endzone anyway. oh well. it's unique, but perhaps poorly utilized.

Way better layout than the 2015 track, it was probably the worst pro sx track that i'v seen.

The start scares me a bit, the speed will be absolutely insane and it will be a disaster if someone goes down.

I made a thread after the MEC this year basically saying that same thing and was promptly called a pussy.

Well i thing those people will be quiet when someone crashes and gets hurt, i really can't understand why they do the start like that. It's insane to have 20 bikes going full speed down that thing!

How do you feel about Glen Helen? Or any national start for that matter? That even has twice the amount of riders.

They should build that first corner up to be a huge bank then see who is man enough to clear the entire rythm section after the hole shot line. Woohoo

Glen Helen you don't go from 0 to 70 to 25 like the will at monster cup I'm guessing. That big speed drop is where it gets sketchy and shit happens, glen Helen everyone maintains there speed a lot more.

*not a hater of the start, just pointing out comparing the two is not right

I like it. One half is rhythmy SX, the other half is fast and open.
I think the biggest issue on the start is how the hell do the riders and mechanics get up there?

Oh, and they should add one of these for the Joker lane.
