Felt bad for Aranda in the last SX1 moto. As he entered the rhythm section after the big triple, a tough block blew underneath him when he was in the air and he then landed on it, Took him down hard - he was very slow to get up.

Uh oh. We got tough blocks rolling around like tumbleweeds in the wind.

The tough blocks were moving around the track so fast I'm surprised one didn't make the podium.

That was a fun Saturday night to watch. Commentary was solid, only a few broadcast snafus, aggressive racing, manly whoops. 

Give me 5 more of those and I will have felt my 50 dollars was well spent.

What a funfair shitshow.

It still looks like a SMX chinese knockoff bought on Temu. Still that amazing depth of talent. And still an half empty stadium.

 

Blair and McAlpine desperately pretending we're watching the very best racing on earth. What you have to do for a living, poor guys...

The tuff blocks storm was the perfect LMFAO ridiculous conclusion. As RC would say "That was fun to watch!"...

 

Thanks Youtube for allowing me to fast fwd for free during breakfast. That's all it deserves.

Stark set themselves back years at this race. Clear advantage, missed on the setting to make it fair, proved that the degree of performance advantage and therefore what it takes to correct for it varies too much track to track and is dependent on too many factors. It got harder to argue that it's going to be possible to fairly race them with ICE bikes tonight. Not going to be worth the effort for everyone else to try to accommodate this.

That comment sounds like kids of today who need a trophy for participating. Just make the ICE bikes better, whoever is best wins.

This, it was awesome! Real whoops were nice for once! It was also awesome because it was on Amazon Prime so I didn’t have to pay for another subscription somewhere. Now if we could get AMA SX & MX on Prime!

Using balloons as tough blocks was a bad idea.

I enjoyed it. DB, Gypsy and Kristan did a great job.

One observation. The camera angles. It was lower in a lot of sections and looked DOWN A LANE, not from the side. What this did was made the riders look much closer together because you might have 5 guys in one shot rather then 1 or 2.

Nice to see Ju Hill on point, Webb putting on fresh goggles for the post race interview cracked me up

I think his point is that the bike is not that good, but the torque allows it to get a good start and screw up the racing.

Hill was ripping. Wish we would have seen him and Coop up front battling at least once. Good race. Pumped to be able to watch it live for free too

100%.  They don't penalize Star Yamaha 250's for being the best or Jett and Hunter for clearly having a start advantage....because they did the work, research, and got it right.  Imagine if the AMA required those guys to run a restrictive endcap so it was "equal".

Yeah, it's too bad the 3rd was shortened, it looked like Hill was gaining on Webb.

I watched it… wasn’t bad at all.  A few hiccups, but some of the racing was on point.

The wind and tuff block issue at the end was pretty wild.

After that round I might have to say that Justin Hill looks to be the favourite for this championship

So how does this series ever plan to make money? No chance they are even close to turning a profit with all the overhead (including the payments to teams)

Yes, the ICE bikes won the races lol. They just didn’t holeshot. So the better bike won the race and the better bike got the holeshot.

Stark showed what a r*dn*ck sport mx/sx is, with the green 327 loser in the lead... 2 stroke hahah what a retro joke, maybe add retro clothing and leftist politics.... 

Finally after many years we see a manufacturer that dares to move the game... Great to see Stark Future securing then sport with silent riding.

Ay dude, most of us here are happy to have another series to watch. If the WSX makes you so bitter then why even watch? 

The dudes at WSX are still building and fucking great cudos to them. They are bringing more racing to us fans.

Ay, Mr Racing, you need to resign from Vital and go pursue something like horse racing.

I was impressed with stark motorcycles. Holeshot all 250, 450 moto ( except one in 450). Led 50% each 250 race. Finally reeled in last half race by the champ in 250 class. The stark bike could do it all. Only hiccup is in the whoop sections. Not sure if it’s suspension issue, or acceleration issue. They had difficulty skimming the whoops like max antsie was doing in the whoops. Everywhere else the electric bike shone. I was impressed. Congrats stark. I will be looking at my next purchase of stark in 2027.
