More camera's at track level/eye level. I have the same complaint with the nationals. When you film from above it flattens everything out, especially outdoors when they're at the bottom of a hill on a scissor lift 20ft in the air.

I get it though. Filming from the air means fewer camera's can cover a larger area and reduce cost.

Yep Sounds about right.

He was hauling for sure! Moved all the way to 6th place....incredible ride! And on that track , that's quite a feat! He was riding like a man on a mission. Gawd I can't wait until Malcolm can move up to the 450's. I know that kid could do some damage up there if he was given the opportunity. Side note : Can't wait to see Justin Hill move on up too!

If i have a half a wheel on 39 guys, I'm coming over and you better brake. Done it hundreds of times. It's what it takes to get the holeshot. Yes dirtbikes are dangerous. Is there any other way? Wtf happened to the people that race?

What Stewart did was close to insanity. You would not have done what he did and I say that because I have never seen someone blatantly moved over multiple lanes like that. He's lucky he did not take himself out.

Both Stew brothers have a history of cutting over and cutting people off so no surprise to me he put a lot of others in danger. I can't say I felt bad for him on the main event start. Karma

Moto should be filmed from a low persepective looking up, not looking down.

What??? Ok let me look over and make sure your clear so I can come over. Uh no. The split second I have a wheel on you I come over. It has happened to me or was me in every race I have been in and I been in a couple. It's cool though. People from South Carolina are some of the nicest people I ever met. Holeshots might be a Florida thing. Lol

Got a plenty of holeshots in my day. If I could have just been better the rest of the race of would have been pro, lol. I just looked at how Malcolm cut across and if everybody did that we would have a 22 rider pile up every week. When I cut down on holeshots I had more than a tire lead, if not then I'm probably going down in a heap.

It's one thing to lean in on someone ... then they have a moment to decide whether to push back or back off. But to just chop right across their front end like that doesn't even give them time to back out. And usually takes both of you down. Yes, I've done my share of 40 rider gates too.

Then there's the payback factor of making enemies. Most racers won't hold stuff against you up to a point, but Mookie clearly crossed that point as Plessinger made quite clear.

Here's a little track etiquette lesson of what can happen -

Bottom line - just not smart to ride like that.

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!

Have been saying this for ages... The drawn back up high camera angles, indoors and especially outdoors, they just flatten the angles, the speed and the height of what makes MX/SX truly ridiculous...

This shot here needs to be at each race! And many more like it, inside corners, running along side the whoop sections etc.

By my count Mookie took out about 14 people in the heat and Main combined in the first corner. Heat race was straight up POS move meant for Plessinger. Main was a dumbass move with same intent, holeshot or smash someone.

Anytime I take a first timer to a supercross we go as low as we can next to the triple in practice. The look in their eyes when they see how high these guys go makes them addicted to the sport instantly.

I actually took that pic on my phone from row 12, they tarped off the first 10 rows. There was a camera guy at the landing of that triple, they barely used him for any of the coverage though. Must be pretty high danger pay.

Mook was constant 45-ish seconds behind Hill over the last 8-9 laps, while passing about 10-12 guys (remember a few went down/pits/etc). He was closing in on Bowers when Bowers went down, was a shame 'cause I'm sure Mookie would have had something to say.

He was absolutely railing the flat turns every lap, like Roczen was.

I wish James had a ride like this.

I'm not sure which main you were watching, Martin, Malcolm, Bowers and Hill were all staggered and Bowers pretty much punted Malcolm into Martin. Not really a fault, there was so little track I'm sure the riders were pissed about the layout at the first turn.

Blaming it on Mook is kinda dumb if you actually watched it.

x2. Not defending the heat race move at all, but the wreck in the main wasn't his fault.

You really need to remove the Mookie goggles. Even Malcolm admitted he hit Bowers ... although anyone could see that. Look at Malcolm's front wheel. He tries to turn inside and there's no where to go. He bounced off Bowers and yardsale'd half the field.

Same move he did in the Heat.

If the Mookster ever get's a 450 ride I'll bet these type of shenanigans come to a quick halt. I want to like the guy but he always either pulls a suspect move or just crashes on his own right when he seems to be on the cusp.
