9 Whoops Are Back

Lame, won’t be watching

I think the core problem most people have with nine whoops is that you jump 3-3-3- once they break down. Here's the thing: even if you have 15 whoops, they are going to be jumpers by the mains unless Dirt Wurx builds them to hold up the entire night (or is somehow able to recondition them midway through the night). So, I think the real issue here how to keep the whoops, however many there are, as skimmers and not jumps. That's gonna require the age-old argument of dozer vs. loader whoops/lime/mid-event whoops maintenance.

This is the year 2000.  Those are whoops.

9 woops are ok, just permenantly display the red cross flag at the entrance.

Done.

The destinct differences between motocross and supercross are closing, both are almost SMX.

Bring back the 80,S

He,s still quick on a AX track. He got 1 win last yr. Not easy to beat Micheal Hicks he got jammed up on the start bad. 800 even said so he’s rt there with RC, Stew, Chad, etc.  Hicks could probably beat Jett on a AX track. Yes he is that good.  I vote for 2 sections of at least 20 whoops .  Best part of any track. I Love them . Get your bike revalved for whoops only and you might Love them too. If you hv any balls.  You can b faster in whoops than a flat straight away. 

Prado probably okay easing in to whoops/(small 3-3-3 rhythm section) also. 

….and euros to follow…

Now that is a supercross track. 

Just saw this post on fb, couldn’t agree more

Racing on carbureted dinosaurs, too. 

Bring it back

There needs to be more of them, but a bit shorter so they don't become jumpers. Make it faster to skim them. There was nothing that sounded as good as a factory two-stroke in the 90s and early 2000s skimming the whoops!

All designed to keep the racing close.

A certain figure in our sport was all for it as his riders and bikes weren't good in the whoops 

When the SX futures are getting through a section as fast as the premier class…. 
A section that should be separating the men from the boys, something ain’t right. 
Need more Stewable options 

Maybe the Lawrence brothers have final say on whoop count in their contract, they prefer 9??

This made me lol 

Did anyone see the swap video of team Kawasaki the other day at Glen Helen? The jump before the whoops I bet will be part of the track designs this year. 

Jett would be faster if there more whoops

I thought because ktm are broke now, they might reverse some of their lobbying that makes their shitbox steel frames competitive in sx

We need to get the whoop monster to hold a sign up at all the sx rounds that says “make the whoops great again” 

WOOPS went down hill when track loaders replaced wheel loaders building them. You don't need 2 machines to do what 1 machine can do. (track loader and roller or tire loader). Tuff love for both but you can only pack the backside with wheel loader.

Let me fix that for you

Unbelievable that it is conventional wisdom the fans, and most riders, hate the nine whoop rule, no dragon backs, and the powers that be say fuck all.

Pulp were talking about this, apparently there were far less injuries and less riders taken out of the series due to whoop crashes last year. People do want more than 9 whoops, they also want more riders lasting the whole series without injury……its a have your cake and eat it too scenario.
