Nice to hear the sound of a 300 2 stroke ripping up the field for a 1-1-2 overall. Coming from the last gate pic in the second main to the lead was very impressive. His Beta was dialed as was his riding. Reminded me of when Cody was on the Beta a few years ago.

Neat to see and hear Jonny ringing out that 2 stroke! He’s got a real good chance at the title now.

Did you hear the TM 2 strokes? Holy crap Ty Cullins’ hot lap sounded like heaven. What was making those bikes sound so mean?

Johnny is riding so good!

Endurocross has been super exciting this year, I think they’ve done a lot better with the tracks and that has shown in the parody.

Ty's TM had the biggest bark. Bad luck for Cody and Taddy coming together while running up near the front. I thought the course was on the easy side for the Pro's. They need to put the joker lane back in the program. Missed the smashing pumpkin section of years past.

I'm stoked for Johnny, he's put a lot on the line to do this series.

Here's Ty Cullins hot lap but the sound quality isn't great.

It was some awesome racing despite a fairly easy course. Colton was matching Jonny's pace, but ultimately mistakes cost him the overall.

2 stroke fans cannot forget Texas Tim Apolle on the Beta.

It's going to be an awesome final round in Reno with Trystan leading Johnny by just 1 point and Taddy leading Cody by 1 too.

I saw the tire tracks going up the center of that stump during track walk and thought to myself "no way they're clearing that log". Sure enough...
I think Tim Apolle was the first one I saw hit it.

I think it was Texas Tim as well. I have some pictures of Taddy doing it, landing perfect and railing the inside.

Photo caption says that was after his crash with Cody. Definitely could have bent something and smoked the rear brake. Looks crazy reflecting off the silencer and hub too.

Holy smokes, is Ty Cullins 7 feet tall? He looks it.

It is glowing, it's legit. You can see the red reflection on the muffler.

It’s a reflection off of something else in the picture. That’s why it shows up on the side of the muffler.

Nick Thompson hit it on Friday doing the track preview.

Wil Riodon did it during morning qualifying.
Ty was actually the first one to hit it during afternoon practice for the top 10 guys. That shocked me as he is not a big jumper guy.

LOL, he is actually only 6’-1”. However he has the body proportion of someone taller. Legs, Arm length, shoe size are all of someone about two or three inches taller. The thing is he has schumann disease, which basically gives him somewhat of a hunch back and why he looks so hunched over riding.

At least 5 different moto winners, 1st and 2nd separated by 1 point, same for 3rd and 4th.

To me; for Endurocross that’s parody. Been lots of years where only 2 dudes could even sniff the lead.

There are 2-3 other guys in the field still capable of winning that haven’t quite done it yet.

Those frames/forks must get an absolute beating the even by pro MX / SX standards? I guess it's a fairly different flex / impact than big jumps also.

Every time I see someone double something using a log as a take off, it blows my tiny mind.

This is Johnny Walker's shift lever after the final race at Prescott and he still finished 7th after crashing and his petcock turning itself off.

1. I think Ryder Leblond is the future of Extreme Enduro and EX in the US.

2. The frames take a brutal beating, lots of smashed frame rails. If I had to take an (educated) guess, quite a few of the skid plates are reinforced with something along the frame rails to help lessen the impacts.

So yes & no. For the most part it’s not that bad on bikes. While the factory mechanics do a full tear down between rounds, us regular guys don’t do that much. For the most part Ty just puts a clean filter in, changes the oil every other race, puts a fresh rear tire on and checks the bike over for loose or broken parts. Usually needs a new or straightened pipe on the 2t.

He’s used the same set of front forks for 3 years now, just gets them freshened up before each season. They have some scratches and gouges on the bottom lugs, but nothing major. Rims and bottom of the swing arm also get a lot of gouges. As far as the frame goes the bottom does take a beating. When he had a steel framed bike we always had to put a new frame on to sell the bike. A couple times we had to swap frames between rounds. Now that he’s on an Aluminum framed bike he hasn’t wrecked any frames. Surprised how much better it takes a beating.

All in all it’s really not that bad on bikes.
