"against way better comp"

That's the reason why most people (well, people who want the USGP to become popular again) hope someone who's not from America (and preferably not a current AMA Nationals rider) wins. Having an opinion about where the best rider is riding currently is one thing, but to just straight out demean another series like that is just lame, and that goes for either direction. I hate it just as much when one of the few but very passionate GP-glorifiers moves all over the place throwing things around about how bad the AMA Nationals are in contrast to the GP's as well. It's just lame, and stupid, and generally shows you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Either that or you're looking to stir some shit, which also is lame.

My point is, you could easily have gotten your point across without being disrespectful to the GP riders.

Yeah, I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

He's jumping the whole track. Oh, wait...if I believe everything I read on a forum (or Twitter), they took that jump out.

(Not all rumors are created equal.)

lmao

Exactly what did they do to the jump though? Someone mentioned making it safer to double or something.

They added a jump in the center to give the the slower vet guys somewhere to land. The top vet guys were jumping the same thing the GP guys are doing.

I hope all the the AMA riders racing this weekend come out injury free; the GP guys too. I would hate for an AMA guy, especially MA, to hurt their chances by getting injured racing this GP.

Sometimes I wish there was just 1 worldwide series... I know there is no way it could happen, but then we could see what was what. For some reason when the US wins the Des Nations everytime they enter it's always some kinda luck or the other countries had trouble or something... I have tons of respect for the GP riders, but some of them just turn my stomach. (like cairoli) I am very thankful that most top GP riders goal is to come here to the states and race. I root for some of them. Christophe Pourcel could have been a world champion in the mx1 class for sure. That dude has skills! My pick for the day is navey seal alessi. Even though he has as much class as AC....
