This is the kind of thing that will derail his quest for the crown. Absolutely nothing to gain with that, and look a the risk / reward. I think it was RJ that said one of his biggest challenges will be not getting bored because he is so good. I think this is an example of what he meant.

HRC reporting tweaked thumb but good to race tomorrow

Great news. I wouldn't be surprised if he came out and waxed the field tomorrow night, if it stays dry....

 If a single with a landing has to be a double or tabletop.  I  see why that jump is a Quad.

 

 What about a single in front of a tabletop that can be jumped 4 different ways?  Will that turn into a double, triple or a quad?   

1 roll single Jump as a table, 

2 Jump from single onto  the top of said table .

3 Jump onto the top from the takeoff of the tabletop itself. 

4 Jump from the single and land on the downside of tabletop.

 

And what if it is done on a Varg? since the varg has that unfair advantage  of unlimited power, Is everything just a double?

No…it’s karma from his Vital press day interview….getting a little too cocky.

A top pro does that and ends up with a thumb sprain. I do that and end up with a broken wrist, serious whiplash and balls the size of grapefruits.

You must not have watched last week's race - the whoops are now optional.

Oh stop it….it’s not like that at all.   It’s at the discretion of HRC.  However…if they do opt for whoops…we’ll…the option of not having whoops still remains in effect during the race ….even if they were built…

Please accept my humble apology for my unclear English.

I meant to convey, "Riding through the whoops is now optional".

I will endeavor to improve in the future.

Leave it to vital for a bunch of armchair riders with beer bellies to argue about whats a triple or quad.

Every single one of you would be claiming it was a quad if you had hit it and were telling your bros

If you can downside it without coming to a near stop at the top, then it counts as 2. 

That's why a tabletop counts as 2, and a single counts as 1.

That was weird, he didn’t look like he was ever really set up to quad that. He got no pop off the take off at all and came up a long way short. Hopefully he’s okay

This should really be the metric by which all things are judged. Just making a lap without falling in last weeks quagmire would warrant bragging rights in the group chat for at last 2 years. Hit a quad? Legend.

Double, triple, quadruple... Tomayto/tomahto.

Can we just call it a SuperDuperMotoCross Multi-Jump and be done with it?

Nevermind, mindless arguments are much more entertaining.

As you were.

I wouldn't. I'd call it an insane triple.

If his thumb is not up to the whoops...no worries

There's a new "Lawrence boys" clause in the rulebook...go around them

Yes they added that asterisk this year for the golden boys. It was apparent last week.
