In the "Forkner" thread, someone mentioned wrestling mats. I think that would be a great idea. Soft enough to cushion a crash landing, but not so soft that if a guy rides off the track his wheels will get bogged down and slow him down.

Driving equipment over the mats wouldn't work very well

Exactly! You don't need to be a genius to figure that out. Wresting mats would have made that Forkner crash a lot less brutal.

They can easily pick a mat up should a machine need to cross a lane.

Rider safety is in question here and that needs to be prioritized.

Gypsy telling McAdoo in the Press Conference that he has a Manscaped deal if he wants it and then saying he was pretty clean is the biggest cringe.

The good: Don't count your chickens before they hatch (this is not over)

The bad: Triumph (both riders hurt)

The ugly: Forkners crash

Which equipment? I think people are suggesting a wrestling type mat laid down on the sidelines once the track is built. I don't think they have any big machinery on that part of the track at that point since it's such a tight area.

Have said this before...the only one who 'maybe' can beat Jett is Eli. I stand by that. Let's hope Eli is truly back. Will be fun to watch Beastmode vs the Doughnut Boy.

I've got Cooper Webb (twice), Ken Roczen, Chase, and AP on the phone, have you got a minute? 🙂

Jett beats himself right now. Eli is not back to Beastmode form yet...maybe he was tonight? You know this. No one has beaten Jett on pure speed. Of course, that is what I am talking about.

Eli is the only one who possesses the raw speed ability to beat Jett's raw speed IMO. Truly great riders have the ability to up their game. Eli has that ability. We don't know if it will happen but he has that ability.

Guess you didn't watch Glendale when Roczen smoked Jett and everyone else. Jett had nothing for him last race

He looks like he's riding a different track than everyone else when he's going beast mode. He would have spanked everyone tonight if he didn't crash

Only had the 5th fastest lap...

Vince definitely didn’t cause Jett to crash, but you have to admit, it’s kind of Forrest Gump-ian how much shit he’s in the background of.

It's racing.  Shit is gonna happen.

I don't think he's gonna change man. That's exactly how his father talks in interviews too, look at their youtube. Their whole brand is about being a punk or as they like to call it a "dangerboy." The whole premise, is to be a complete piece of shit, at all times

He will forever be a boy, never a man, Dangerboy!

I thought Hayden would have to punt Forkner and Webb would have to punt Jett for points, but those riders punted themselves,

Chance for some fill in riders... They need riders on the track.

I am gutted for Forkner.

This race had everything.

Just to be transparent, I am a Deegan and Webb fan.

If you look at what happened during the main, action by action, you can't really blame Friese. He had nothing to do with all those crashes.

But at the end of it, after a 20 minus race, Tomac, Roczen, Stewart, Ferrandis and Jett had issues while around him. Can we really consider all this incidents to much to be a coincidence ?

Had to watch that one late. Bummed about Forkner but what a race! It was awesome from the very first 450 heat, all the way through. This sport rules.

Friese doing friese things as always! Yeah he didn’t take Lawrence out but sitting in the racing line while being lapped is poor!
