In the 250lcq during the first lap, a rider overshot the shit out of the second triple in the first rhythm lane. Did you guys catch this on TV? The crowd went nuts, I think it was the loudest of the whole night.

Plus I caught the Dungey jumping on the red cross flag incident, and I thought to myself "damn I didn't think your allowed to do that", but I also saw 2 or 3 other riders also jump on it and I don't see anyone else getting docked.

The Bagget/Canard incident was nuts too, I thought it was kinda dirty, but it could have just been one of those famous "racing incidents". I like Bagget but when he crashed on the next lap I just thought "karma"

overall it was an exciting night, Malcolm killed it!

The lad in the LCQ was Great Britain's Gradie Featherstone. He is just 18 years of age and managed to make the main event he was pumped looking at his facebook page, he said he didn't mean to do that jump and was not really in control. It was caught on camera yes there is a clip on youtube if it. Pretty gnarly

yeah it was gnarly, im not talking shit. I absolutely could not believe he landed and didnt crash or land on someone. Plus he still made the main event, and he might not have made it if he didnt do that. Everyone around me couldnt believe their eyes. Hopefully that gives him some confidence to make it next weekend

I find it curious how we can see things differently .... Are you suggesting that what bagget did was dirty or canard?

I personally thought canard was forcing the issue when he shouldn't and Blake held his line, but, I've been wrong before. Tongue

I don't know honestly, i need to watch the replay. I'm not trying to start an argument about what happened because I truly don't know. It very well could have been Canard's fault.

Interesting thing though, right after the checkers were out and all the riders were coasting back to the pits, Canard ripped back down the start straight and banged the rev limiter to get by some riders, so he could get in Baggets face. I dont think a lot of people noticed because almost everyone stood up to leave right after the checkers were out

There's no doubt Blake moved over/shut the door... but he's not obliged to let Trey through, especially not on the outside.

The save from Featherstone was absolutely insane! And the bonerair from Herrlein was legit!
