Ye could be, it really shines right in the direction of the tunnel jump. But how he throws his hands in the air afterwards cracked me up anyways. 😂

😄 I was making a joke. I don't understand how he didn't see him.

Forkner walked off but he looked in pain. We'll see if he lines up for the heat race.

There's a common denominator for many of Chase' crashes. I don't think I'm the first to think he doesn't look very far up track compared to other guys. I mean, how else does he not notice that Harrison was stopped and just T-bones him?

I'm at the race and watched it go down...i couldn't believe Chase wasn't checking up or switching lines...the sun is bright, but like... you have to look ahead man. Chase is going to have a tough year if he can't start using his head. 

I can’t believe sexton just tbones him like that and then throws his hands up like “how could Harrison do this to me” 😂

It's very similar to Coop and AP last week just with the rider getting plowed on the outside versus the inside there.  Just a total brain fart, wtf moment by a great rider.

Prado is bringing a Jett-esque level of bike control/technique to SX. Unlikely Sexton is able to pull that line off consistently without crashing. Shows how talented he is on a bike to be this comfortable 1 year in.

I'm not a fan because of his antics last year. I'm sure the bike was an issue, but his attitude and level of professionalism and respect he showed in interviews IMO showed quite a poor character. That said, you have to respect his talent.

Prado is a real threat for this championship based on early signs. Not many thought that would be a thing 6 weeks ago.

Chase should’ve seen where Harrison was as image was in the air of that jump. Crazy.

As innovative as it is, I don’t see this easily replicable lap after lap, seemed like he was riding a very fine line and pretty much smashed into the table

Looks like he can't even see him cause he only looks down, isn't that what Js7 criticized him for 1 or 2 years ago during outdoors? Very weird..

Yes JS7 did that. There was a lot of talk about it on pulpmx shows for awhile when Chase had multiple incidents where it looked like he didn’t look up enough. Chase himself said on there he doesn’t look down as much as everyone thinks and it’s just a way of how it looks from the side.

The broadcast crew was going on about the Coopers line of jumping through the whoops to hit that table. They totally missed Jorge saying "hold my beer son".

Amazing how good AC, JB and Weege are compared to the cringey gibberish we get in a couple hours. 

This will be my 3rd season of watching with the volume off. Occasionally I turn it on just to check, but it’s never very long before my judgment is validated.

The fact that the night show isn't AC, JB and Weege is criminal at this point. I have no idea what they're thinking.

Dear Jorge, I am sorry for doubting you. 

A lot of us share this sentiment. Doesn't excuse his behavior last year, but from a riding standpoint, I'm eating my words so far this year.
