Ouch! You're not saying that Rock isn't saying anything about Glen Helen jumps because of his buddies at MXA are you??
Oh and it seemed pretty unanimous that the pros weren't too hip on the big jumps at the Glen

DUPLICATE POST FROM GLEN HELEN THREAD

Just to be clear I don't care at what track big air jumps are at regardless if it is Hangtown, Glen Helen or on the moon.

Those of you that keep saying Hangtown's 150 footer is safe or that people don't get hurt on jumps like they do on other obstacles should click your heels together three times in an attempt to leave Oz and come back to reality.
No jump is safe. Motocross isn't safe. But more to the point, there is no comparison between the real world risks those two jumps present and require a rider to embrace, and only a fraud like you would use a rider's quote about one of the jumps in a thread about the other to try and get the last word. As well, this is not a duplicate post; you didn't create the Glen Helen thread until after you got called on this in this thread. Again, typically dishonest backfilling on your part.

I give you the Wally Cox version of Rich Cain. Rich at least was honest about his narcissism.

You're a lawyer and you're calling someone else a liar / dishonest? You guys are worse than used car salesmen.

Baggett broke his collarbone coming out of a turn, Tomac destroyed his shoulders going into a turn........


Maybe big jumps are the problem, they are worrying about them while in the turns?

Whatever you say Michael. Whatever you say.

BTW don't ever change. I get too much enjoyment out of your efforts.

I can handle a 74 MPH first turn but a jump? I don't think so Tim. (Dating myself with a Tool Time reference)
I wanted to post a link to the audio but Pulp is too long to scan through again. So I goggled it and found this:

"The Kawasaki guys told me the data showed them that the riders were going 74 mph coming up to the triple-step-up and then they had to back it down from there to land just right."

Is this because you aren't very bright or just reading challenged or impossible to please or all three?

I will type this slowly in the hope you will understand the reason I started the thread was because you and another moran implied I posted the CN comments on the Hangtown thread to avoid criticizing GH or MXA. In response I started the GH jump feedback thread to shut you and the other moran up.

Now that I have thought about it I'm going with you aren't that bright.
