Yeah, because he has showed so often that he can run up front when the best guys have a good day?… He looks about as fit as RV did when he went to the GP’s…

Not specifically, but a few of them were Loretta's winners for sure.

How do you stop Jett? Fluster him like El Hombre did! 

I also think that the short start straight and 1st turn made a big difference for Jett. Not a lot of room to work with.

Loretta's.

Edit: I think Loretta's has to do with the electric 50s that will compete at the LA Coliseum. 

Today I think you could just sign up.

They're milking it for sure. It's becoming like other sports. The game (race) is really 2 hours, but we're gonna pack 4 hours of shit in to maximize sponsorship income. Lol.

Starts are going to be much harder to get consistently. The gate went from 15% factory bikes to 60%.

So Jett got passed more in three laps than in that whole motocross season. I think it's time for him to move on, retire, obviously washed up.

I know the production gets hated on a lot but the dude flying the drone around the track with the different guys commenting on each part was cool.

He should definitely consider going into the booth. As far as I'm concerned, he's washed up. He had a good run though!

Big boys Sx is a whole other animal....

 

And the field is stacked again.  Not like the depleted outdoors season.  Which most of the pros were just putting in their time getting through it this summer.  

Whole new ball game started today.

I think that would destroy the track a lot more and would delay the show.

Yeah they really need to trim some of this fat or at least give us some content during this huge break other than the same commercials and self sucking about how awesome they are for creating SMX over and over. I can deal with commercials and time as long as they’re showing something worth watching inbetween them.

All these effing commercials makes me wish I just went out and did something today instead of sitting through this tiresome shit 

 

Can watch replay in half the time.  

 

Won't be doing this again.

I wish Yamaha would have done the old school yellow and black or even the mid-late 80's red and white graphics instead of that butt ugly 90's stuff that they did for the 50 year anniversary models.

They should be in the pits getting shots of the mechanics and interviews with teams

I love seeing all of the 250 riders together, no east/west. Wish it would move to this year round.
