This is what I expected from Jett coming into the season and from memory so many were bagging he wouldn't win shit against a healthy gate in the "big boy" class.

They have got to get these tracks better with passing. Also eliminate traction control and go back to dirt starts.

Jett had that much on everyone jumping into the whoops that he could take it easy so to speak on rest and be safe

Was the track really THAT bad?  Yeah the whoops were wicked bad, but the rest of the track was pretty straightforward.  

No, not that bad. The riders had a meeting before the racing and agreed to tell the same lie.

lol man I was just typing this. Starts need to be on dirt, no traction control etc. and go back to how they made tracks a few years ago.

Seems like barring severe injuries or something else catastrophic, we're going to be watching the Jett show for the next 10 or so years

I’ve been watching some older races and wondering where all the hard pack tracks have gone. At this point I’d like to see a track with no ruts for the novelty factor

Remember when privateers used to holeshot!!! They used to pick dirt start gates on condition over position.

Comparing this years tracks to lets say the Dungey / RV era it's been a dramatic change.

Start maps, traction control, grates, starting blocks, rpm dash. Racing was better before half this shit!

Since they stopped using lime in the dirt, whoops and jump faces has gone to shit. 

Is it even supercross anymore when tracks look like this? Superendurocross.

We need tracks where riders race each other, not the track.

Roczen and Jett dicing the 3rd main was wild. They were so close to each other jumping through those rhythms. The guy doesn't like Jett. That's his only problem with the racing

This is what I expected from Jett coming into the season and from memory so many were bagging he wouldn't win shit against a healthy gate in the "big boy" class.

Not to take anything away from Jett,
But Tomac is 30+ coming off a major knee, and never will totally be the same rider,

plus, most of the other top are to the twilight of their careers, who right now is in his prime besides maybe Chase to challenge him

I remember over the years, great starters were mostly great starters, regardless of the grate.
