Didn’t seem like Adam was too happy with Bowers as they were picking up their bikes.

Anyone know what happened there?

Either way look for Bowers to be whining about how everything isn't fair for him and he deserves a better bike with lots of money this week.

Oh nothing to see really, just a washed up AX racer ruining what was going to be a solid night for Adam. You gotta admit though, with the current field, 722 has really stepped it up.

Perfectly said, Im sure pulp will give him the soapbox to tell us how unfair he’s been treated

I knew it y’all couldn’t just go one week without bitching about some type of fucking incident.

And.....Go hang out at glamis or Perris where you belong 231.

I had the same question. Bowers hasn't raced in almost a year and was over a second faster in qualifying that 722. Maybe 722 ruined his solid night?

The broadcast last night was terrible, there were few replays of things such as that incident and what happens to Ferrandis.

That's because they were looking for the motherload of incidents so they could cut away and play it again during the last 2 laps of the 450 main event like last week......but I digress

All you guys shit-talking Bowers....go up to him at a race and talk to him. He is one of the most friendly and approachable guys at a race. Same with Vince Friese. It's partly because they are not big fan favourites so they are way more accessible, but I've had multiple conversations with both guys over the years and they are both great guys.

Try to separate on the track and off the track a bit more!

A solid night for 722 is he is getting paid to race a dirt bike. Tough night for both of them as im sure they were hoping to qualify for the main.

When I was first getting 3DP going, I went out to Monster Cup in 2019 with a bunch of cable guides in my pocket with riders names on them to see who I could talk into running one for the night. Know who the one and only person who ran one was that night? Bowers.

To be fair, I never actually talked to him personally since he wasn’t at his pit when I stopped by, but his mechanic said he would be stoked on it and would post something to his social media about it. He followed through 100% and that got things started for me, he didn’t have to do that could have easily just ignored what I was doing, but he was nice enough to help and wish me well with the venture. I don’t know him personally aside from a few messages later on, but I’ll always hold him in high regard for helping me out early on.

My personal experience with Tyler in the real world is that he is beyond a class act. Tyler (and his team) did some very special things for my son that were above and beyond what you’d ever expect of someone outside of your own family. Hero level stuff. The dude’s heart is HUGE.

Nice! I’ve been around both of these guys. They’re both good dudes and they’re both “all about racing”. The way some folks talk negatively about -either- of them is kinda silly: both of these guys are The Real Deal.

Agreed and just because they only showed Adam shaking his head, doesn’t necessarily mean Bowers was at fault.

Was curious to see some footage or to hear what happened.

In both of their “cases”...

They’re SO BUMMED to not make the main that all the “how and why” don’t matter. I wouldn’t be surprised...at all...to see then ha hang together...they’re both “just dudes that race”.

Yes, but Vitards won’t accept the truth.

Pushed the issue vs keep it on.

Also known as...RACING. Yes, I yelled racing.

Oh nothing to see really, just a washed up AX racer ruining what was going to be a solid night for Adam. You gotta admit though, with the current field, 722 has really stepped it up.
Actually a washed up SX race winner which how many can really say that they are? He has accomplished a lot in the sport actually more than the 722.

I don't think either one would have made the main. They where out of the top 10. As Bowers stated he jumped the shark on the pass and ended both of their nights. The bikes ended up in a pile and the 722 was not happy, rightfully so. He actually bowed up and was ready to swing but checked up.

Yep, good racing to put both guys on the ground halfway through the LCQ when you’re both 3-4 spots out of qualify still... 🤦‍♂️

Never change Bowers....never change....

I actually think it was the first lap but I may be mistaken. Regardless heavy hitters in the top 4.
