I'm not industrie, but I think he may have left just a tad early. New guy working the gate maybe?

I was there for that and missed it but you could hear everybody when he did that. I dont think they red flaged it and Malcom came through the pack like he was on fire. I think he still got like a 9th or 10th.

I don't think he left on purpose, I think he just let a little to much slack out.

I think the gate might have flinched. Has happened to me before.

His buddy he scrubbed into and endo said his clutch cable broke. Who knows, kinda looks like he's been playing MX vs. ATV Reflex too much, lol jk.

I think he should take lessons from jlaw to get the front wheel over better. then he will master that move.

You can say what you want to about Malcolm, the kid is fast. He has awesome corner speed and even faster bikes. He will be the one to beat at LL's for sure. I give the kid credit for racing us clean at Birch Creek after what happened at ECMX. He is the fastest A rider in the amateurs right now from what I have seen. Although we haven't raced the west coast guys like Anderson, Vincent, Paluzzi, Vallee, Sjoberg, etc.... Malcolm is fast and should be up front at LL's.

Just watched it... looked like an accident or bike problem, he didn't jump the gate.

What's the BFD?

I will admit I almost did the same thing when I raced the Memorial Day Classic at Whitney about 10 years ago. I launched just a wee bit early and hit the gate mid-fall , it hit my tire and I went up on the tank hard. I pulled the bike back so the gate could fall the rest of the way and the pack was entering turn one and I spent the entire moto getting roosted senseless coming up from the back.

You know you hit a rock bottom when you call a kid '' fucking idiot''

I think people on here are jealous of this "kid" because he has more talent and speed then most people that post on here.

And if you have ever raced before, you have at least done that once before.

When the video guy says "go Brandon" I swear he's gonna follow with "it's your birthday."

Its pretty obvious to me too that he never "dropped" the clutch. I would blame the mechanic, not the rider.

it was not scotts fault either, they were testing new clutch baskets an could not figure it out, nobody is to blame here. it was just a problem with a part in the bike.


you guys are really low calling malcolm a f*cking idiot, hes a young kid an u guys are just people who sit behind ur computer all day.

It's cool for you to stick up for Malcolm Justin.

Try not to let the losers comments on here bother you.

What they don't realize is to most people they are the ones who look like idiots.
