Quite a few riders struggling what do y’all think they will do? I say leave them. They’ll prob be jumpers by the main anyway with everyone taking the same line pretty much

Will they leave the whoops the way they are?

Bull shit. Absolute bull shit.

Maybe work on whoops harder during the week. Tomac and a bunch of others were going through them just fine.

Not sure why they tamed them down again after the second qualifiers. Maybe it's for mx futures tomorrow.??

I bet DeCoster went & complained because his guy was slow through them. What a crock of shit. Bring back the two stroke era whoops!

You would also think the 16-20th place guys could put in a full Main event without having to roll around in second gear the last 5-10 laps. Who would've thought they have another 6 days in the week to practice and train and get their endurance up considering it is their full time job.

If a pro can’t blitz a set of whoops then they don’t need to ride or accommodate to the whoops. First real whoops we have had in a long ass time

I think that's kinda why they're 16th - 20th. I mean...against most of us on an SX track they'd dominate...but against factory riders...it's rough. Especially since some of those guys are driving to each race...privateer life is taxing.

Webb may struggle compared to some but umm did you notice a certain rider on number 25, Musquin I think his name is, absolutely blitzing them and nailing the second fastest lap (only 0.03 off the fastest) in qualifying?

It helps all the riders, there were lots of guys crashing in them. For everyone complaining about them being reworked, if your favorite rider crashed and burned in them tonight and was out for the rest of the season...you'll would be bitching that they didn't fix them.

So if your favourite rider crashes on a jump or in a berm we should get rid of jumps and berms too?

Washougal never moves them down, mud, dust, rain, shine, snow, sleet, and they are way worse than those little bumps.....
