Marv really should have asked AC if it was ok to pass.

I'm so pissed!

Marv didn't use his turn-signal!

Aggressive for sure, but definately not a deliberate take down or contact

Racing incident. I’m an AC fan and not really a Marv fan, but that was a complete racing incident. He thought AC was back a bit further and probably didn’t expect him to come in as quick as he did either. Sucks for AC, but that’s racing.

If you think that was too aggressive this might not be the sport for you.

Question 9/27/2020 10:23pm
9/27/2020 10:23pm

Copy paste from another thread.

This was more or less covered in the race thread, maybe you could check those threads instead of starting 3 that cover the same thing.

Dumb move indeed, not sure what happened, maybe he thought he had so much speed when he tried to make the pass that he was ahead, maybe a little concussion that was not seen after 2 huge crashes in 7 days, maybe feeling it is crunch time and was trying a desperate move to try to get his first premier class title, we don't know.

It is just not common from him. I would call it a "racing incident", it happens everywhere, but I would also logically be a bit upset if I was AC.

I believe it was a racing incident, but, Marvin did not have a line. That was the inner most line and AC was there first.

Exact same thing as JM6 and DF14 at RedBud, 2 racers going for it and not letting off - lets all move on.

AC fucked up again by keeping too far right going in and leaving the line entry open.

He then then dropped anchor. Laughing

Crash-as-a-rulio was getting tired and was too far inside- almost on the track markers- and left the line entry open.

You don't do that with a hungry old dog like Marvin.

Why cant it be both? It was a racing incident but it was also too aggressive since the result was one rider crashing and the other going off the track. It wasnt on purpose, it was a bad decision by Marvin.

Tired? It was at the beginning of the race wasn’t it?

Marv was going for it!. Tried to slam a square peg through a round hole lol. I’m sure AC isn’t happy, but oh well. I still can’t believe Marv raced after his practice get off. These guys are so gnarly.

This is beyond ignorant. Aggressive on Marvin’s side, but...two guys were trying to win...two guys wanted the same line...only one fit. Oh well. Just racing.

Well, he's from Alaska and you're from Beverly Hills. And you ride a 150 while he probably rides a 500.

I watched the Gopro, seems like AC couldn’t have possibly seen mm25 and marv seeming to be as far left as possible probably didn’t even see him at that point and the inside was the line, that outside took you all the way to Disneyland. You had to be a little selfish and dive for that inside, especially when you have Zac eating away your gap like Pac-Man.

Dam, I should have put this^^ as a third option.

Not dirty, but still a bonehead move, and Adam owes Marv one

Perfect

Moose-can really should've pulled off track and asked AC if he was ok, and talked it out before resuming the race.

The ones who think Marv was too aggressive are probably just upset Marv didn’t follow social distancing guidelines.

Two guys going for the same line, and Marvin should have been the one on the ground 9/10. Adam just didn't concede the line quickly enough or couldn't, but no way that was an intentional takeout.

If it was a case of his back wheel hitting Adam's front and cleaning him out I would say shit happens, but like Adam said... It was violent, he slammed right into his elbow, there really was no space to make that happen, so I'm gunna go with "too agresive"

I'm more of an AC fan than Marv, but imo that was an awesome move from Marv! He came in hard, made it happen, and came out with the spot he wanted. In his position that was great! If I was AC I'd be real pissed, but deep down know that I'd do the same if I could. Definitely aggressive, but good hard racing
