This is why the Biblical joke will never die when a ‘________ Mudder?’ thread is started a week out from the race. We’ve had 2 mudders out of the 11 rounds so far, that’s really not that crazy considering they race in the middle of winter around the US.
Challenging track that had a handful of different lines/options due to it breaking down and caused plenty of opportunities for passing due to everyone not being able to run the same lap time as each other for 20 minutes straight. This is exactly why not every SX needs to be on 40 second lap time, covered stadium SX tracks. Dudes doing gnarly triple-triple-triple rhythms to make up time, jumping over a sand wall, completely flat lining and cutting a new line in a corner instead of taking the rut...
That 450 main was something else. Reminded me of the 2-stroke era where you had to nail every corner and rut hit the rhythms/jumps just right to do what you wanted. 250 main... If 1st place beats 2nd place by over 20 seconds, that is a competition problem--not a track problem. Wild night in Seattle!
Counted over 15 ruts on some of the jump faces, Damn!!!...
I agree best race of the season so far. I was on the edge of my seat those last laps. Never count out Webb thats for sure.
Tho I think Jett backed it down a bit and settled for 3rd after those sketchy moments. Oh and Kenny looked odd all night long. Not sure if I ever saw him ride like that, he looked very uncomfortable.
I agree. It ended up being a great little racetrack. Webb was amazing!
Yeah I almost had a stroke several times tonight! Great racing on a tough track.

Yea I couldn't sit still, one of the best races in recent years IMO
During the residencies in SLC he got lapped in the main event and came back the next race to win the main event.
Damn! awesome race. This season is turning out to be a good one.
No joke, my heart was pounding at the finish. Chase is really coming around. His hand injury really put him behind and he's coming on now. Big win for Webb but I think he's pretty much going to be dealing with Chase and Jett the rest of the year. He doesnt have their speed. Yes, I know he grinded out that win.
By the way, everyone was crying in their beers last week the season had gotten boring
Really wanted that one for Sexton.... Great race.
Same. You could tell Chase was NOT happy with 2nd
I think there must've been 3 separate moments where I thought "Oh damn, that's it for Chase tonight." and then a lap later you see him just a few bike lengths behind Webb and setting up a pass for the lead again!
Side note: Somehow the whoops held up this weekend and had a variety of skimming and jumping but skimming was quicker if you could do it. Who was it again? I think AP and Jett in the heat race side by side, nearly elbow to elbow, blitzing the whoops trying to make a pass. That was awesome!
He kept making mistakes and pulling back up to Webb at will. He gelling more with the bike every week
Jett nut swingers in shambles!
Just got back to hotel. Me and my kid were saying that was probably our favorite race we've watched at Seattle and we've seen a lot.
Webb and chase were moving and seemed like they kept getting faster, they lapped up to I think at least 10th place.
Same here dude, my little girl and I lost our voice in that stadium, absolute sickness
I think y’all might be missing a bi-polar diagnosis. The mood swings in here never cease to amaze me 😂
Mav, are you talking about Webb?

It was an exciting race, but I still think the season is boring now. We can pretty much only hope for more mistakes from Jett like that. I'm neutral on him but he was on another level when he wanted to be.
You believed them 😳
Between crapping on history, and living in the moment, it's a perilous bunch 🥴
No. I'm talking about Roczen.
We’re just fair weather fans (pun intended) 😂
