It's mindblowing how graceful Jett crashes everytime, no matter how rough it looked, he somehow just rolls it off and gets on the bike 2 seconds later. Is that skill or luck? Or both?

Jett fan- skill

Everyone else- luck

Really interesting to see how the Beta will perform in outdoors this season compared to the MXGP one in the last years, seemed like it lacked some power there? Bloss definitely looks good now!

They are, but they might do select rounds.

I’m gonna assume they’d try to keep a good grip on their slot(s) in the SMX finals and that may include a few extra Nationals for Colt of needed…?

I understand taming down the track a bit for rainy conditions but damn no whoops really sucks, especially if it keeps drying up.  Looks like guys are really struggling with it being slick so throttle control will be paramount.

Maybe it’s me but the Birmingham stadium/infield looks a little smaller than most of the locations.  Track looks good but looks a tick smaller than others.

I just got home…. Getting caught up.  Track looks like it should be great later on.

Got Nichols on P14 for RMF.

I'm not even a Jett fan, but it's fair to recognize that he has some pretty superb athletic abilities. The same skills that would make an Olympic gymnast would make for graceful get-offs for sure.

It’s a football stadium, but it has the small sidelines like Snapdragon in San Diego.  So it’s not as wide as an NFL stadium.

Yeah I was just thinking they could really build some whoops between now and the night show but I doubt they will

He did and it does. Over several years of being worked it breaks down into the consistency of fine powder and loses its ability to hold water and pack in.
