Holeshots, Powerbands, bermshots ,WFO & minimal huckabuck.

That's how it's done.

Most impressive thing was there lap times.

2nd moto, both had similar fastest laps, which were around 5 seconds faster than anyone else!

How does one lape?


Clear that this is nothing more than a 3 hour tour on a fishing boat. Next time, dont make it so obvious. Let it play out a little longer.

RV certainly had no problem steering with the rest wheel. I guess the kx just needs an aggressive rider to work. Whatever it is Tomac has it figured out

thing is, sand tracks require more steering via the rear wheel, as you want to keep the front end fairly light and on top of the sand, which is why you see the riders sitting back more

clearly this riding style suits Eli and also suits the KXF, so this is not any surprise he did well ....

I'm going to take a guess...you're under 30 yrs. old right? Either that or you're new to the sport?

Power slides to the inside................WOW Pinch Now when McGrath did a nick nack for the first time I was impressed or Stewart railing the whoop-de-hoops now that was something.

Great analysis, I'm surprised power sliding on the inside wasn't one of the Keys To the Moto.

They would get stuck trying to figure out the whole starting gate thing. Then there's real bumps. Oh my.
