I’m just blown away by the athleticism and brute strength required to plow into the face of a jump and hang on, maintaining the riding position during the ensuing front flip.
Pic earlier in thread, and replayed frequently.
At my peak, a long time ago: I suspect that impact would have ripped both my thumbs off, then broken both my arms as I face planted after going over the bars.
Watched a Redbull Rampage MTB guy come up short on a huge gap jump. The bike stopped dead, he stepped over the bars and made it to the down ramp relatively unscathed. See above for the likely outcome if I did it.
In Levi’s case: do you think there was a conscious decision to ride it rather than bail?
Amazing.
Yep, Cam had opportunity and motivation to run it in on him and just let him cruise on by. No one is doing anything to him in this class, so get used to the tongue sticking out on the podium.
Arm didn’t feel great so I pulled off. Hoo boy…Mitch, what has happened to your team.
Referring to people as alpha and beta has gotta be the gayest shit ever

Maybe he’ll get it done next year when he doesn’t have to worry about Deegz. This shit is ridiculous.
I think it happened too fast for him to think about bailing because the jump wasn't huge but super technical. It's really remarkable that he was able to ride out the front flip thanks to his athleticism and factory equipment. That has snapped wrists and a face to the crossbar or dirt to us mortals.
So he just quit yeah? Nothing wrong with him other than some hurt feelings.
At this level it just seems unfathomable that he wouldn’t try to at least salvage some points.
Remember when McAdoo lined back up for a restart after absolutely rag dolling himself? Clawing back to a 15th with his junk hanging out? That dude has heart.
Hard to be a Levi fan
It must be a PC thing
If he really has no significant injury, I think I give up on him. I don't want riders to ride injured but he just seems soft AF. Eli rode with a broken leg last year because he didn't know it was broken and thought he had to stay in the points and that even though it hurt like hell, they thought it would improve at that time. That's a champion. Levi is a plenty skilled and great rider. He trains hard. He seems to fold whenever the going gets tough.
Great example of Eli riding “hurt” not knowing he was actually injured. Champ stuff and I’m starting to think Kitchen just doesn’t have it.
Wasn't it Kitchen who's start device stuck during the practice start on RDL?
He had it happen twice I do remember that be it the heat race or qualifying in addition to the main. Sounds like they need to address that.
There is a big difference in trying to ride with a injured arm vs an injured leg…
And its his second post referencing it. "Submissive betas." Its dirt bike racing. Never in my mind watching mx/sx do I think, damn he's giving smoking these betas!
Hymas really bums me out. Kitchen is all over the place if you look at his season up until now. But Chance was building and getting better. He must be crushed, like can't I catch a break?!
While that's true and I'm waiting for the official injury report, so far it sounds like a mild injury and he may be back next week. That's what I'm assuming with what I've said.
JS7 got 3rd place in A2 with a broken navicular. It's not just this one thing, it's a pattern.
And to the people who keep saying it's the holeshot device's fault... I'm sure his holeshot device is fine. Those are simple things. The rider needs to get the thing to disengage. And if they don't get it to disengage correctly, they need to ride around it. Again, this is a pattern with Levi. I want Levi to do well but the pattern is that he always has something else to blame and at some point, you have to blame him.
Tell us you have never even raced, let alone used a holeshot device, without telling us.
The comments from the geniuses on here are wild.
Comments from you guys that have this holier than thou attitude are pretty wild too.
You don’t have to try and put anyone down here bud.
Pit Row
Kitchen giving the title to Deegs.
I watched Deegs stalk Mosiman, just closing the gap ever so slightly, no rush. Then when he gets to the back wheel Deegs just drove by and dropped 3 seconds on him.
The wife said that Mosiman was riding a dream race...I told her he's about to meet the dreamcrusher.
Not a Deegan fan but this is pretty spot on.
If the shoe fits, wear it !
Whether I personally like it or not, Deegan is on a whole different level at the moment.
The frustrating thing about Kitchen is that he’s as talented as anyone on the track (even in the 450 class), but he has the race craft and awareness of a 65 jr rider.
I know a lot of people will disagree with that take and say he will just "kill himself" on the 450. But wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity for Kawi/PC to put Kitchen on the 450 for one or two races on the East just to test the waters? I really don't wanna see him chasing a 250 SX title until he's 30 years old. Maybe the 450 suits him better for some reason.
kitchen's mind game has to be a dumpster fire. Next weekend I predict he'll start the Main around 15th place only because he's going to be so hung up on "JUST DONT FALL" mindset, he'll never really uncork it. This has been a nightmare start to the year for him!
Holy shit you sound like an incredible douche.
Either that or he'll just farm some wins from there since he is out of the title now and got nothing to lose. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
IQ or mental health issues? Or they don’t really think that, and are just trolling?
Because that's exactly what he did.
Why is every thread not a Deegan thread end up one?
