What`s the conclusion after A2? Better or worse durability with the new whoops?

Same here. Was cool to see some guys jumping them but getting passed by those who were skimming. Time for some riders to learn how to skim whoops again!

Both sets of whoops look to have held up.

Best whoops of the year, hands down. Interested to see if this method is repeatable across the different soil types as was mentioned earlier in the thread. I'm so tired of seeing guys jump from timed qualifying practice on. Seeing Justin Cooper get eaten up in the whoops because he wasn't skimming was awesome.

This is a steam roller. I didn't watch the video but I'm guessing you're talking about a highway roller. I cringe every single time I hear someone say steam roller.

There is no "steam roller" and they definitely didn't use a highway roller either. A highway roller would have a drum on the front and back and is only used for roads. They used a smooth drum dirt roller. Which has 2 tires in back and a roller up front that can vibrate for increased compation. ZERO steam involved. 

A Caterpillar CS-533E vibratory roller.

They used a double drum highway roller.

Next year they will bring in preformed cement whoops.

It's called a utility compactor

A2 had two sets of Whoops; one set was constructed normally and the 2nd set was "Rolled" Which set of whoops help up better by the end of the night?
