Ahhh I wish we could watch both qual sessions outdoors 

I don't understand WHY THE FUCK we can't get RDL the same as SX. Having AC & JB doing the whole thing instead of just Weege & Stew doing a quick 1 qualifier.  Don't get me wrong I love them but I want the whole damn package like we get with SX.

Maybe JB and AC don’t want to do outdoors as well. Just a thought. 

i think we used to get both sessions in the nbc gold days.

Yea I feel like they have some resentment towards outdoors or I’m not sure. AC just said he lives 30 minutes from pala and he didn’t even go. Jb didn’t either

From the sounds of it Pala is a shit show and leaving is even worse so can’t blame anyone for not going.

I'd imagine the less strain on his foot/ankle the better. I don't even know if he practiced during the week but an alien like him doesn't much need it. As much as I like Hunter, I have to be rooting for Jett today. 

He rode twice this week per Weege

You’re asking for things that will impact DC’s bottom line. Nothing will change unfortunately.

And not only that, they messed up more than once in the past and only showed a replay of the first qualifying session instead of the second sessions that we were supposed to watch. That was something else lol.
4-5 hours of RDL is okay but 40-50 min more of outdoor qualifying is too much apparently Sad

Just from a viewership perspective. I think most people who "want" to watch quals want to simply see the guys on the track. I dont "need" expert analysis and the highest production value for quals. It seems if they are there anyway just figure out a way to show it.

Agree, Q1 could be broadcast raw.  Just a few camera guys and a stream…. We would love it!!

I really like that Hangtown makes track changes almost every single year. Some minor some major but always cool. Wish they would bring back the halfpipe, but I guess that thing is a nightmare to maintain

This always bugs me but what do you guys think of the close up camera shots?  I don't see the speed of the bike or the height and distances of jumps ,plus the camera guys can't keep up making it shaky. I don't know I'm just bitching but it's pretty distracting

Jett’s suspension is so soft.  Looks sticky everywhere

Agreed, I know it's early but the track kinda looks like a highway compared to previous years...
