She must have because she’s louder than the bikes. AMA should look into that

Tom looking good. Two laps that were over a second faster than 2nd place.
Be cool to see what he can do when the bike isn't holding him back

How come we get to watch B practice in SX, but we don’t get to watch B practice in MX?? Like as in on RDL.

Seemed like a super short RDL show today…

Ando on pole, but it feels like a Sexton dominates kind of day.

Just set a camera on a tripod and show that along with live timing. We’re not fussy…

James needs to actually talk to these teams about there bikes if he’s going to opine on there setup.  
 

he’s also incorrect saying frames can’t be modified when they can.

I don’t understand stand why the flanger didn’t come on to the track there so the riders don’t jump into the crashed bike there. Riders woulda definitely saw the flag if he stepped in front of the crash.

Ya, you gotta jump out on the track in a situation like that to stop the riders from running into people on the blind landing.  Gotta also aggressively wave the flag.  To be fair though, he wasn't egregiously bad with the flagging.  He was doing his job.  Could have been a little better, but certainly wasn't bad.  The riders weren't respecting the yellow there and that's on them.  The riders can bitch and whine and throw their hands up all they want, but if a flagger is waving a yellow flag on a blind take off of the track and the riders are still going balls out and jumping, then that's 100% on the rider.  

The flagger needs to be at the entrance to the corner.

I have been critical of the flaggers since they often are clueless….but there was a flagger on both sides of the turn and Jason was just so laser focused he missed them both.  Hate to say it but…not the flaggers fault.  As far as a flagger jumping out on the track…yea…if it is blind and they can do it safely…but we are asking for perfection with 20/20 hindsight of each specific incident. I don’t think that is totally fair.

Anyone see what happened to Chase in 2nd qual?  They showed him sort of go down but visor had already joined the A-star visor party in Valhalla.  Times make me think he had sort of a hard get off and Q2 was kind of a wash?  Anyone??

I really don’t like when they flip the 250s and 450s. Doing it for television is bush

That last part Jason looks like when you have a day at the track and finish riding.  One of the boys who has not had enough to eat and just starts pounding it.  Then someone says…”let’s go out for a few more laps”….and you look at eachother and say …okay.  That friend that was pounding it….
