Go back and watch some mid 00s SX. Reed and Carmichael block passed each other more times than I can count and I can only think of one time one of them went down. 03 SLC.

Similarly, I’d guess there is a pretty good chance Marv could have made the pass by running it low and turning right like you often see Webb do.
To me it’s just a SX pass gone wrong but I don’t see how you can solely blame one guy in this instance… the best guy’s awareness keeps them in the race in these sorts of cases.
#1. Anderson and Malcolm were along side each other on the preceding rhythm section. Jason even pinched Mookie over to the left on the on-off, which is a bit sketcy. The point is, Anderson already knew he was in a battle with Malcolm, and he was right there beside him
#2. When they landed, Malcolms wheel was already along side Jason.
#3 Malcolmn's line was essentially parallel with Jason's.
#4. Malcolmn's bike NEVER TOUCHED Jason's.
How exactly did Malcolm "take out" Jason with there was not even bike contact. Go ask Anderson about this move...he will laugh at you. He would acknowledge it was a near perfect pass.
Compare this to Marv
#1 Malcolm was already on the ground, leaned over, turning in....and Marv was still in the air.
#2 The angle of lines was almost perpendicular.
#3 Marv did a brake slide, and his rear pivoted into Malcolm's front so hard it blew the bike out from under Malcolm.
#4 Oh yeah...Marv also CRASHED HIMSELF OUT. Did Mookie crash trying to pass Jason? Yeah...of course not because they never touched. When you CRASH yourself trying to pass someone, THEN YOU F***ED UP.
Malcolm was 100% on the money with everything he said, and Marv should own his mistake. Everyone knows Marv did not do this on purpose. It was just a huge misjudgment and a bad bad decision. He should own it.
In life, when everyone under the sun knows you screwed up, and you keep insisting you did not, you are just being weak, and digging your hole deeper. Man up and own it.
Thank you God for Dirt Bikes and all the Riders.
#2 The French, historically, don't defend themselves well
#3 This is entertaining stuff. Better than them riding around kissing each other.
$4 It's nice to have SX back isn't!
Not saying Malcolm said eff it and took Marv down on purpose, but once Marv committed it was Malcolm or both.
You really think Mookie didn’t see this coming? Had zero chance of checking up and doing the old switcharoo back under Marv?
Mookie left the door open.
I guess I can't say 100% he couldn't avoid it, but it was definitely a bonehead move by Marv.
My biggest problem is how Marv handled it after, it's always an excuse or something. At least when Barcia (recently) or Anderson clean someone out they admit it.
Sorry, I know we are all supposed to scream and yell at each other in here, but I was like ah hell, maybe you're right 😂
He’s just coming off the track and hasn’t had the luxury of seeing a replay.
All he knows is, he got in front and clear of Mookie and blocked his line, and is then hit and goes down.
He was obviously expecting Mookie to brake and cut under, which is logically why he asked “ why didn’t you brake?”.
That’s not an excuse, that’s a reasonable question from his point of view at the time.
Could Marv have executed the block pass more cleanly? Yes.
Could Mookie have checked up, avoided contact and cut down? Yes.
Racing incident.
I've never raced a supercross before so I don't know for sure if Malcolm knew or thought he could've been there to feel the need to brake..
I do laugh at all the people saying 'oh another bone headed move by Musquin' or 'Musquin always rides like this' I must have a very short memory

Good lord some of you are worse than whiny little girls. I can guarantee Marvin and Malcolm are over it more than some of you. But then again, they are both true professionals and know how quickly stuff like this happens and how easy it is to make less than ideal decisions in a split second.
Also it's not at all a take out move. (beside, if you want a take out move, go to look at the last one of Barcia to Anderson, it's a text book display...)
Musquin leave the door well open, however Malcom stick to his trajectory and somehow came to hit Musquin.
Malcom made the dumb move.
Musquin could have been pissed towards Malcom but he is to nice for that (and everybody take advantage of that,
and all the more, he is french (that remind the long history of totally biased lynching of his fellow countryman on this stage) .
All in all, it's just a text book racing incident, who happen in SX at each gate drop.
I wonder why, just for this case, such crazy amount of incisive, biased, talks...
That video shows something very,Very , far from either of those 2 things.
Classy and Composed would have Not been yelling and damned near screaming at Marv, but steadily and reasonably - well, indeed forcefully, putting his view on the racing incident to Marvin. Marvin looked like he took the hissy fit - that's what it was - for a while, and then he responded in kind.
I like Marv and Malcom, I've no axe to grind over either, but this whole thing is a beat up, with a bunch of butt hurt 'fanbois' and 'haters' crapping on about it.
It's Supercross - a side of the sport made for entertainment, aggression and, unfortunately, it's very heavy on take outs. It's almost designed for it to be inevitable, being such tiny, vicious little tracks. It is, the way it is.
There's been hundreds of incidents like this over the years, and there will be hundreds more, as the Stadium based sport continues.
What does this have to do with Malcom losing his second career 450 podium and handling it like the bigger man in this situation?
