Looks nice and soft. Hopefully it ruts up and separates the men from the boys.

Yeah, that elevated turn shoots under the bridge. The finish line is over the bridge.

I think so Jonon. Atleast im not the only one who likes the over/under sections. Its always been one of my favorite things they can put on a track.

So your saying that they are gonna have to go over and under this week?

Interesting concept. Why didn't they do this sooner.?

That's so bad ass. Personally i think this helps the track develop better, more options and the fans love it most importantly.

Uh oh, rain for the night show?
Bummer....In the East Bay it was 73 degrees and sunny yesterday. Today, it's been foggy and fairly cold. I'm excited for the race to be in Oakland vs San Francisco because it's 15 minutes from my house and the stadium is bigger, but SF is cool because of all the bars around the stadium. I wouldn't recommend milling around outside of the Oakland Coliseum. It's a pretty shitty neighborhood.

I'd be happy with some rain. Might put Windham on the podium (or on top) and hopefully better results from Millsaps.

Looks like a typical sx track. Start, whoops, finish, triple, and rhythm. Nothing to see here. Move along.

What's with the single before the triple after the sand? And the single before the finish, are they going to make those doubles?

The tracks are always going to be lame because they can't build anything that can hold those 450's.

They could be more creative if they wanted to. However, they build the tracks for the audience as well as the riders. Most stadiums will have a triple on both sides.

Having similar obstacles at each track also gives the riders something to train on during the week at there home tracks. It does get pretty boring sometimes though because they are all about the same.

Thank you Ddavis. Thanks too for your race reports and the other interesting information you post here. Mind you, you're still going to have some people wanting to rip you a new one the moment you post something they consider immature (despite your age), self-serving, or dumb - all of which you appear to be mature enough to ignore.
