There's a lot of talent, but the disparity between the top 4 and the next 12 then the rest is insane. It's basically three races in one,  a race for 1st, a race for a top ten, and then everyone else. I can't believe there aren't 20 more badass dirt bike riders out there somewhere that could make this more interesting! I just want like 6 people that can win.

Oh I know, I raced the Montana (HCMA) series and the Wild West series growing up, and a lot of the most badass dudes in those would go race Washougal or whatever their local pro track was, and if they qualified, they'd be in the bottom 10. I get it. I got my ass stomped by dudes that never qualified for a pro race. Lol. I just feel like there's gotta be 20 more dudes out there with top 5 speed. Somewhere. Anywhere. Lol. Have we checked Kenya? 

I'm getting my fork tubes coated as we speak...Standby! 🤠

It is a legitimate question though. Why are there only a couple super fast guys when all of these other dudes do nothing but moto too? I know there are a few with real jobs but most live at these compounds and do nothing but train and ride. You'd think there would be more guys that could be faster for 30 plus 2.

Justin Cooper is getting more and more consistent. Hopefully he can continue to close the gap on Hunter and Chase as the season continues.

 

Yeah. He might have spent himself getting around the #7.  Should have been able to capitalize on Hunters mishap. 

He is almost there but still needs that end of race 450 tenacity.

Dude...lappers are a part of it same as ruts, braking bumps, and blown up bikes.  It wouldn't be racing without all of it.Wink

Anybody else cringe when they see the McGinley Clinic videos drilling through bones? It’s like I can feel it in my own collarbone when watching it.

I get that but they seem to pick and choose who they pull over for at times. When they turn around and then cut over right in front of the leader I get pissed for them.

I’ve always thought if you were 2 laps down you need to be pulled off the track. Starting to think it might be a good idea to pull off anyone who gets lapped in the first half of the race as well.

At this point it's all about how well Chase can control his head. If he can just go out there and not wreck and get top 5 starts, he's solid. 

But Hunta is going to test him, for sure.

True and not. It's definitely part of the sport, but ruts don't make stupid decisions. Sometimes lappers....well, do.

Ruts and bumps are the same for all the riders.  Lapper and when you catch them and if the move is largly luck.  I prefer race wins not be based on luck…as much as possible.  All my opinion…you have yours.

Hunter looked surprisingly fine for what seemed to be a pretty hard hit, also instantly went up and stayed in front of Coop. Hopefully not banged up.

It's gotta be an age thing. (With a couple exceptions) 90% of the dudes that get top 5's are under 25. We need some of those 250 riders to move up.

I always thought that luck was as big a factor as skill.  Ask Tomac, Jett, or any of the guys.  Hell, that Nicolette/Ferrandis crash was a perfect example.

At the ripe age of 43, I can assure you that if I hit my shoulder that hard, I'd be laid up for a couple weeks...and that's I'd nothing was broken. Lol

I'm a CS4 guy, but gotta give it to HLawrence.  Rookie 450 and the guy is ON IT!  

Plus he seems real on the podium - 'it was going great till it wasn't'.  Sorta sums up much of life.  Glad you're not hurt, a brutal fall.

I'll be pulling for Chase, but full respect - keep it up.

Yeah acceptance is key. Some dudes get spanked.

I hope Masterpool can keep this shit up the rest of the season. Probably out of title contention, but damn that was fun

Becoming more and more of a Hymas fan every race. Next year he could be an absolute beast.

The Lawrence brothers are tougher than a two dollar steak. Too bad the Australians that post on vital aren’t that tough.
