Figured they would have seen enough pushback from majority of fans, and almost all riders to change this, but guess not.

Of course not - in the name of rider safety! 

What's more dangerous; rhythm lanes in between concrete barricades or 10 whoops after a 180 degree bowl corner? No logic with those idiots making decisions.

First time in a long time I’m not overly excited for Anaheim 1. Extremely basic, cookie cutter design. Majority of the tracks appear to be that way as well. What happened to the creativity?

That's what happens when your sport is completely controlled by an entertainment company.

Crazy how the majority of the riders have been vocal against the 9 whoops but the organization acts like they themselves are the ones hitting them. These guys are elite for a reason, so let them be elite!

Last year had more than 9 on track maps and they cut it down, any chance they made the track maps with 9 a while back, and may adjust come the week of ? One can hope Smile

It takes at least 3, if not 4 seasons to see the full effects of 9 whoops

10 woops are better, just like 9, but you get 1 free, think about it!

nah skill is skill whether its stew , reedy , RV , Eli , Kenny , brayton , CC28 or  Jett getting on top of the whoop & skimming them or using other technique like coop & marv to go thru em & figuring out a way to go faster than their racing counterpart in tht section , learn to appreciate both ways

I say let's do 15 whoops.  If we up it to 20, Chad Reed might make a comeback

The one key obstacle that separates SX from MX and they made it obsolete. 

in the words of Tomac; “Where is this data?!”

You will never change a SX fans mind regarding jumping whoops over blitzing them. Jumping them is like walking instead of running.

Whoops is what separate the best from the rest and it sucks when they turn in to jumpers because that plays in to the riders with less skill.

No, it just makes it easier for the "less skilled at whoops guys" to keep up.

So you're cool with A1 2025 being easier than A1 2000?

 

I'm not.

99% of the people complaining would never have been able to tell you how many whoops there were before this issue came up last season.

When you can triple-triple-triple and call it a day, people notice.
