Fast indeed. He just has such a powerful riding style.

Also kenny in 2016 outdoors was insane fast in corners. Feet also never left the pegs most times. There was one race where he passed like 4 people on the outside on the first lap. That was a fun year watching et vs ken
Millville is the one you're thinking of

Epic race from ET3 that day but my favorite ever still Oakland 2017. In MX, Washougal 2018 is special. Man i don't care if he choke, crash, if he never win the SX title or whatever. I m just happy and lucky to be alive to watch ET3 riding a dirtbike.

Like I said Ruy you're a proven buzzkill. WTF is wrong with you ? You turned another thread upside down...AGAIN.

It's the way the kawi's turn, he seems to gell with it really well. the way they like to be musceled into, through, and out of corners really suites Tomac, he just seems to strugle with inside lines, which i find is another characteristic with the kawis, they like railing berms and powersliding, they don't seem to track through ruts as well as say a Yamaha.

That Kawi likes to turn with the gas WFO! Reminds me of Villopoto flat-tracking all the slow corners, where everyone else was coasting trying not to tuck the front end.

That would have to be the race that reassured dungey that retirement is the right move, taking nothing away from dunge but that night tomac was insane.

Looks like hes trying to learn some techniques from the GP guys. Smart on his part. Hopefully he can carry some better corner speed outdoors. He had a boat anchor tied to him at MXoN. Euros corner speed on another level outdoors.

Should I bother posting up GP results where RJ Hampshire destroys Prado, Jonass, and the entire 250 field? Or where Tomac has won 5 out of the 6 GP motos he has raced?

Man, that was the best race I'll likely ever go to. Even tops the battle James and Chad had in 2009(?) where Chisholm torpedoed Chad at the end. If there was a way to convey how disappointed I was too see him start at 14th after hoping he'd tighten up the points, it was total disappointment and in the first lap I thought I'd wasted my money and Tomac had single handedly ruined the night and the rest of the season. But as we know, i was wrong, the crowd as he started to pick off riders was crazy, everybody there was cheering for him. PANDEMONIUM!! it was awesome, I wish I could do it again. One of those races that tv did it so little justice.

Let's see, I've given my opinion, Tomac and its spectacular curve, technique, power curve.
I've only named Forkner
And it has been the others, who have appointed Prado, in addition to discrediting him.

And then accuse me also that if this or that, look for you and your riders, that you have enough work, especially for the future.

You seem to only want flowers for your riders, when they go well, when they go bad, you only make excuses.

There’s been quite a few folks rail that Washougal turn. The best one I can remember there was Bradshaw passing Henryin 1996. Go back and check that one out. I’ve never seen anyone rail that turn with that much speed ever.

Yep, I replayed him in the180 before the whoops a dozen times. I was kind of shocked he wasn't getting through the whoops faster because he had to be hitting the top of that corner a gear higher than anyone else. And the 180 after the section with the quad, his squaring up of that corner was a thing of beauty..

I sooo hope Tomac rides like that the rest of the series.
Yes, yes, I hope the same, seeing that same thing he does every year, it is for that always he gets the title of SX....

He make always some espectacular race, , o some corner good,..But at the end the tittle of Sx going for another rider.

You are praising Tomac for this race and I would be worried, look who has been third, which is the next Holley on the podium.
  What level...

Ruy, I won't pile on that you're derailing the thread with negativity, but I will say that I much prefer when you simply post awesome photos of riders from your seemingly endless supply. Usually, when JS7 threads draw the haters out, you just post one rad photo after another. You're taking a very different approach here. #MRGA
