Im disappointed like many others, the racing is so good in this format and most of the top guys are all healthy...... BUT I do agree with the call once all the facts have been presented and I would have made the same call.
Stuck in Wisconsin sorry bro I’ll be at doheny beach tomorrow with my family.
Reasonable people understand that there are a myriad of factors that play a part in difficult and unpopular decisions having to be made when things that are out of your control happen. It's an anomoly.
This is telling in itself.... those in control see this as a TV product, not a sport. A sport that takes itself seriously plays their playoff games one way or another whether or not they're on TV or have fans present.

It would have been a great mudder with tTV highlights for years to come.
On the safety aspect…cut the lips of the large jumps so they’re un-jumpable or have a quick riders meeting and inform the riders there will be red cross flagged jumps for the remainder of the event.
Oh well.
This 100%
Why are you being an asshole towards me about this? I don’t have to answer your questions, I’m taking time out of what could be my four hours of sleep before I get on my morning flight. For what? A disgruntled (drinking?) fan to come at me because he’s not happy with the sport?
Ever heard of Formula 1? They're kinda mainstream.
They canceled the 2021 Belgian race after a few laps behind the safety car, and awarded points based on qualifying position.
Thr rules got changed so they must run at least 2 laps under green now to award points but they still don't run make up races on Monday.
There are still my original points about safety and rider concerns that aren’t going to really be solved much by a first thing in the morning race. Our sport is beyond not perfect, I get it, I deal with it first hand everyday.
Cancellations in major motorsports for extreme weather aren’t that uncommon. It sucks, but it happens. You don’t see F1 racing on Monday if weather makes racing unsuitable and unsafe. There are so many logistics, costs, and other factors to take into accord.
On top of what I said about most riders and teams not being into containing in such conditions.
I get it, it’s a massive bummer and not everyone is going to agree with the decision. No sport is perfect or always has the perfect answer.
I may need some sleep as well. You don’t have to respond get your sleep. I’m on the west coast have small children and a wife. If you want to call me disgruntled go for it that’s not the truth just a hardcore fan and want to see 2 complete motos of the highly anticipated SMX PLAYOFFS motos. No one is keeping up Michael rest your eyes.
You can PM If you want to exercise this week or hit the beach.
Nah you’ll probably get banned for saying shit on here that you’d never say to Michaels’s face.
Haha he can come to Orange County anytime time I’m not driving to Temecula or riverside that’s a literal shit hole… I’m not far from him he can speak on his behalf or yourself if you have a problem.
Holy shit broc your in aliso let’s meet up im on the ass end of Laguna Niguel.
Don't forget your floaties. 😗
You seem to think adding a day is a relatively small expense. Clearly, it’s not.
I get all of that. My gripe is mostly that this decision totally contradicts the playoff story they're shoving down everyone's throat. If they believe the things they're saying about this being a playoff, you have to run the race.
For what? Come surf or body surf some beach break at salt creek you’d die lol…huge waves I Wisconsin man.
Watching the Matty B video now. I get that back section was blown out. But the part in front of the stands looked workable for sure. Why didn’t they reroute that back section out? This could have been an easy fix. That also solves the lighting (💡not⚡️) issue. Still can’t believe 2nd motos got scratched.
Pit Row
I’m at Pala just about every Friday, meet me there.
Go read ML's first post on page 1, he covers why they didn't cut out the back section.
So you don’t live aliso? Or only feel comfortable meeting at an mx track
It’s racing. The moto section was the deciding factor. What a joke. This sport blows my mind.
Yes I live in Aliso but don’t meet random guys places unless we are going to be riding dirt bikes.
guys. We need perfect weather so the ususal suspects are up front and no wild cards could actually win. Comeeeeee onnnnnn
There's quite a few grown-ass men posting in this thread who have the emotional intelligence of a 3 year old throwing a tantrum because things didn't go the way they wanted. Probably a lot of the same guys who were bitching about the SF race actually being held in the mud last year, too.
Thanks I missed that part. I skipped over long post from ML because apparently people were attacking him.
Even after reading I still think it would have been possible. Sounds like they gave up before making a good decision. 30 min isn’t shit if you can illuminate that area in front of the grandstands. Build a wooden ramp for them to cross the barrier if that was the main issue. Races could have proceeded at 8:00pm for all any of the fans care.
I've been following Burkeen's Youtube since that mofo was putting a YZ 250 smoker in the 450 Nats a few years ago.
Funny guy too.
That's all.

If we had any rider seriously injured because they ran it anyways in sketchy conditions we’d be looking for a head to hang. This is not an outdoor mx track where there is experience managing these conditions without venue limitations. Agreed not happy but stuff happens and it’s the right call.
Didn’t realize Vitalmx had a dating section. Doesn’t sound like it’s your first time trying to meet random males off the internet….
By the way did you ever happen to ride a Suzuki a few years back by any chance?
🤣
