For the people who say the x games are dead, I agree. There was a guy on FB yesterday with a good theory as to why. He blamed social media for ruining the x games, which at first I rolled my eyes about. But then he went on to explain how the x games used to be like x mas for fmx fans because we'd hear rumors of guys doing certain tricks, but we weren't really seeing clips or anything. So we'd tune in to see the first backflip, 360, double backflip etc.  Now all that stuff gets posted to social media almost immediately, so there's not a lot of incentive for us to tune in.

As for father Hodges, he's always reminded me of an unmedicated child with ADHD. Always flappin his jaw and never really saying anything relevant, being super obnoxious, saying stupid edgy shit just to get under peoples skin. Then people just let it happen because of who it is.

I'd party with PH, he seems pretty rad.  Raha seems like a punk and I don't like how he promotes riding dirt bikes on the streets, in cities etc. how's he any different than the wheelie boys?

If PH was trying to get under Raha's skin, I'm here for it.

I think he's one of the founders of monster, but I'm not positive.

Tell me what the “M” in “FMX” stands for and then we’ll decide if this thread is moto-related.

Why does anyone care what Axell Hodges’s dad thinks? Is he in the industry somehow?

He can't even ride a bike in a straight line without sending it into the ding weeds.

The video was entertaining though, gotta give him that. Laughing

I didn't either till Kirsten Beat posted on Instagram that she does the announcing. To be honest I miss the good old days with the Supermoto, with fuel stop and stadium Supercross section.

I miss the Supermoto, but not the fuel stop, i was almost an alternate the first year it ran, but Kenny Bartram took the spot.  I am glad, i would have died.

Supermoto is the pickle ball of the moto world. Doesn't belong on TV and people shouldn't be forced to watch it.

Supermoto has everything to be the perfect TV-sport but also spectator sport. If I understood the old-skool supermoto riders weren't happy with the evolution towards whoops, on-of table tops and other stuff... But those races in Reno, Copper Mountain Resort and others got spectators and I liked watching them! The X-Games went a little overboard the first years with the whoops and on-of-tables and stuff but still it was amazing! This video is from '09 when the track was pretty good.

Correct 

… and Chris answered it best. If it was an advantage, why did he lose ? This is Colby’s specialty. They do not hit the quarter pipe ramp wide open, the 450 has plenty of power and the Stark is heavier.

Look at Colby's body positioning at peak height. His helmet chinbar is about touching the front fender. He didn't look as comfortable on it as he does his gas bikes. 

 

I saw it as he's looking to get the claim of being the first Stark rider getting a QP gold medal, similar to Patrick Evans taking gold in best whip on the Stark Varg. 

I’m thinking he is no longer paid by husky, and was paid by stark.

I don’t believe PH has any ties to monster, other than his kids being associated with them

I'm surely no expert on QP competition.  But why did Raha lose on the Stark then? When he's owned the contest on a gas bike

Well I assume it's because the other guy went higher.  I'd think that the Stark would seem to have an advantage, but since it seems like the limit is the human on the bike that the advantage is a wash. 

Looks like the winner didn't go as high as Raha did in 2023, so perhaps the difference was in setup and conditions? I have to assume Raha wouldn't have taken the Stark if he thought he wouldn't go as high as he did last year. 

It probably had to do with the angle of the ramp, during practice they kept tweaking it. At the end of the day Colby and two others wanted to steepen it up but lost the vote and it got left as is. They probably would have gotten a little bit higher numbers but apparently a lot of them were landing really close to the knuckle when it was at a steeper angle and they decided it wasn't worth it. Tyler Bereman getting hurt during practice probably reinforced that seeing that he's one of the best in the competition.

no husky branding on the bike or helmet any longer. I assume he bought the stark, i could be wrong though. I know Patrick Evans is on the Stark Varg team and was flowed a bike.

I think the stark is heavier than gas bikes. If anything it’s an advantage in best whip and a disadvantage in quarter pipe.

It was 100% making it more than one round that ruined it.

 

When it was 1 round there was anticipation to see the next big trick, everyone would stay at home and watch with their buddies that day and witness history.

 

Multiple rounds made it so the performers didn't have to perform big 1 time only. They lost the clear definition of progression.
