Seeing the gold wheels on the Aus bikes does something to me. Makes me want to take another shot at a 450.

People were PRAISING the FIM prep yesterday. Turns out ama style digging super deep slowing the track down is the safer option?

Just get the fucking doser out, put down the blade and fix a few sections that looks like shit and prevents god racing. Brakes the surface so you can get some water into it also without turning it into ice.

Watch motogp if you want smooth track racing. Motocross is supposed to be tough. The conditions are supposed to challenging. It’s not supposed to be easy...

Did I say smooth track? Can you show me where I said that?

If you want to watch riders race trails, you do that in the woods riding enduro. Track is 6-8m wide and you should be able to use more than you can now. 

So fucking boring racing.

Hate to see the team USA boys look completely uninterested in the 2nd place, still a good run especially considering the team circumstances.. also hard to beat AUS when they win all three motos

Yeah, team USA to finish second on home turf and getting presented the 2nd place trophy from a 3 time MXdN winner (Ricky) is a little conflicting. All things considered a great result with 2 of the 3 guys chosen at the last minute, but feelings are feelings.

You said it’s sketchy/dangerous? Then complained that ama prep is boring. Nobody really knows what you want other than to bitch and moan

Congratulations to our good friends from Australia. And good job to our American racers, all of them. This has been a fun year of racing… time to find something else to do until A1.

They are who dictates how the track is prepped so it is actually about them yes. Who exactly are you blaming the track owner who doesn’t have a say?

You are fully allowed as race director, track safety Manager or track manager to handle how track shall be fixed.

You actually think FIM has their board member there to tell them which corners is getting water? Or you think Loungo kicks some dirt and says "let's leave it as it is"? 😄

Sorry, doesn't work like that. That's why tracks and organizers gets put on probation in MXGP when they don't manage it properly.

So yes, whoever was running track prepp today, not a good job. Did you hear any riders saying track was good in the interviews? Its was all about not crashing and that should tell you something.

Yeah, we'd still be waiting for you to come around with your training wheels.   What an absolute douchebag you shown yourself to be.  KW would love his good name back....

RJ stepped up and gave his best,  and can hold his head high.

Mega ride from Hunter. And Tomac having a great rebound 

Hunter FMOTP!! 😂 😂 Seriously though, he was super impressive all weekend. Seeing him in person, he's just Diet Jett. Expect more Lawrence brother domination in 2026. Australia could really go on a run of MXdN wins here

Literally hiking through Sequoia National Forest and stopping at buildings with WiFi for updates. This was about as good as the USA was going to do. Good job.

Just left the track. 

RJ should never be allowed to race for team USA ever again. That was actually one of the biggest choke jobs I’ve ever seen in person. 

And then to crash a SIXTH time and just pull off and give up….

I don’t know what place we got but if we podiumed, he shouldn’t be up there with them.

You were at the race and don't know what place we got? We got 2nd and Hampshire could've gotten two top 5's and we still would've gotten 2nd.
