No disrespect but when McElrath is battling for top 10 round 5... something just not quite right. With Jett out and likley missing a good amount of outdoors, and Prado out for the season, Ferrandis out, Hunter out, Tomac injury, Chase crash, Ken crash, Ryder D out, Brown out, Shimoda injury, and Kitchen, RJ, Forkner all struggling, and most of PC getting injured (Adams, Marchbanks, McAdoo, Masterpool), something just dont feel quite right about this season. Probably the most attrition through 5 rounds ever. Shit just feels cursed and honestly made it kind of depressing to watch the racing out there.

You new to the sport?
I’ve had a blast watching every round
He's not wrong though. 5 rounds in and 5 top guys missed the main and Tomac was basically doubling the whole track.
All I know is sx is screwing up the real series which starts at Hangtown!!

And that sucks. Still happens many years. It’s an overreaction.
It did feel dark. I was thinking it was just me but after seeing lots of folks in threads on here saying the same, I’m thinking it was substantial.
Name one other season its been this bad, this early on and I'll stand corrected.
The depth of quality riders is so high now that you would just argue that it’s not the same caliber of rider. It’s subjective to compare seasons but my opinion is that you are being dramatic. Lots of injuries this year for sure, but let’s calm down a bit on the dramatics.
Stop watching the racing if you’re so distraught.
Hangtown? What about the race a week before Hangtown🤷♀️
You sure about that?
You just had to bring that up again, didn't ya?
Oh, that's right, I almost forgot - you hate me.
Never mind.
Your welcome👍 Ha Ha
it's been a bloodbath. RC is gonna get a call from the manufacturers telling them to lay off talking about injuries (not his fault) so they have a snowballs chance at selling mini bikes to helicopter parents.
I'm just glad we only have 9-10 whoops and no dragon backs since all the "data" showed they were dangerous. News flash, moto is dangerous. Jett got hurt on a straightaway and Tomac now because he foot was slightly in the wrong place.
Yup, you could say it was “Dark” AND dreaded too… it seems there’s a bit of a fever going around. Here’s to hoping the rest of the season is dark and dreaded! I’m on the Mookie train and I feel a fever coming on!
Mcelrath finished 9 points behind sexton for a championship a few years ago show some respect lol
Every crash I was cringing and just hoping someone else wasn’t hurt
Pit Row
I totally missed it, what happened to Ferrandis?
Practice crash on Thurs
Remember when everyone finished off the SX season unhurt???
Me either.
I have to admit I was wrong on my take in this thread.
Riders crash and get hurt. Is the number of riders higher this year or is it the riders you care about are?
Guess we don't need a B main anymore. Maybe they should let the top 250 guys race two classes if they want for double points
Tomac
Jett
Hunter
Prado
Fernandis
Daxton B
P. Brown
Drew Adams
Noren
Craig
Swoll
Robertson
Ryder D
Masterpool
I feel like I’m missing 2 more top 10 caliber guys on this list that are out?
Cade
Round of applause!!
Across the pond Herlings is hurt again and they don't even have any whoops
Privateer power once again
On par with 2025 in general. Bad news everywhere
