I would like to know what the flagger on top of the jump was doing, he should have been waving the yellow outof his flag!!!
Just shit timing for Deegan. Not the flaggers fault at all. No excuse for the broadcast to not tell us, though.
Flagger had a very pragmatic view of the crash👌

Fuck that was pretty gnarley
The broadcast was more concerned about who Will spoke to yesterday
Yep, the broadcast crew just flat out missed it and sadly so did the flagger. I was watching Vialle catching Masterpool and saw that kid cartwheel right in front of them. I knew that Deegan was just a second or two behind those two and wondered if a flagger would catch it before Deegan came around.
Easy now. I gotta know what so and so said last week, yesterday and what dazzy said a month ago.
Did you want that flagger to teleport to the top of the jump so he could wave it before the downed rider? Or did you just want him to stay where he was and pull the flag out and wave it after the downed rider?
Its funny how even while sitting on a couch watching replays you can’t get it right but you expect them to be perfect in real time.
Another RC like get off for Deegan only to remount and keep going.
Herlings would be out for a year from that one.
Dude's a fucking machine!
Exactly. The rider crashed and Deegan was basically already in the air. Flagger can only wave the flag after a crash happens.
“Speed gap” must’ve fooled him…
Been watching for forever and there are some things that seem apparent with Weege and the broadcast team.
One is that they don't seem to have a spotter who gets in his ear to make him aware of situations the audience should know about.
Another is he might check timing and scoring once per moto... whether he needs to or not.
I don't know how many times I've watched a race he was calling and a rider is either dropping like a rock (5th to 35th) on the board or they're coming up fast (and this has been going on for laps) and he is suddenly caught off guard and sounds so surprised when he finally mentions it. Having a spotter would help eliminate this and they might also be able to feed him info on matter (rider went down, mechanical failure, lap times 3 seconds faster than anyone else, etc.).
But that might mean he wouldn't have time to laugh at every single remark the cohost makes.
Agree on a lot here. Except you don’t even need a spotter. When we can tell from the couch that someone is blitzing through the field. They need to take a breath sometimes it seems and kinda reset. Not every second of air time needs someone speaking during it.
it would be really nice in the broadcast showed us lap times more often then they do. They used to toggle between intervals/fast lap/last lap and they don’t really do it much anymore.
And how much do you think they would and should pay that group of flaggers that travel the series? How long until the same problems arise with flagging and then how long until people bitch that they need to unionize to fix the problem? And after unionization how long until the same problem arises and they're making 40+ an hour and are still incompetent? Have you ever been on a governmental construction site and seen their high paid flaggers it's a fucking joke. Be careful what you wish for lol.
Growing up with a foam pit must help Deegan. Situation awareness and balance like a cat.
I’m more bothered that the broadcast and subsequent vital thread gave no concern towards the lapper who had a nasty crash in the first place
Pit Row
People where saying the same thing about Jettson until he broke his thumb off in a supposedly mundane crash.
Weege will pick it up in a couple of hours just like everything else he misses during each race..
You mean the typical stupid Weege phrase each moto: ”WHAIT A MINUTE” - insert what he has missed for 5 laps here:
How much is the safety of the athletes worth to the series promoters? To the sponsors? To the teams that handle the logistics of getting multiple bikes shipped cross-country every week?
Did ya’ll happen to catch the beginning of Weege’s pre race show? He ran into the production crew at the beginning.
There are only TWO people responsible for the entire production of the races. I think that might explain a lot of things.
Are we actually complaining about Weege?
A tip over in a rut and flying over the handlebars is very different. Air awareness can help you in a situation like deegans. That type of awareness won’t help you in a tip over. Also I don’t think Jett grew up with a foam pit. He was a dancer which definitely helps his balance but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of losing it.
Deegan is riding on the edge though and he’s had some luck in his get offs this year, eventually that luck will run out.
Ummm no....they were the production team for science of SX segments....
Don't know about "we", but I'm merely reporting observations.
I'm fully aware that on here it is heretical to disparage the deity known as The Weege... even if he assumed his throne by winning the tallest midget contest of MX/SX broadcasters.
But can you tell me what I said is inaccurate?
Wow this shot of it is much crazier.

It starts at 14.06. Sorry but will there be some changes when something really tragic happens as it does sometimes on the amateur scene? (weither better flaggers or radio com) (Edit: BTW, here he was about 4 seconds behind Vialle so it was avoidable).
Post a reply to: Deegan hit the lapper?
