bayodome Liked a forum topic MXGP Drone Footage - Città di Mantova

The first full lap of MXGP Moto 1. With all of the drone usage out there now, you'd think this would be more common, but I've never seen this type of coverage from a pro motocross race. Yes, the spider cam thing in SX basically provides the same angle, but SX and MX are very different beasts. Also, I know FAA regulations get in the way of drone usage during live events in the US. Anyway, it's interesting and fun to watch.

The worst part about people fleeing CA is that they take their BS idea's with them and ruin another perfectly good state/city.

California has multiple zones. I lived in the Bay Area for 5 years. There was some stuff I loved and some I hated. Traffic and cost of living drove me out. 850 sq ft homes in Santa Clara going for well over 1.2 million, due to the neighboring Apple city. Great to come back and visit though, driving fast cars in the hills and coast become more enjoyable than the MX to me though. The tracks IMO where not the best and now they shut 408 down I heard. So Cal, I have no idea why anyone would want to...

In 1980 I beat "Rocket Rex' Staten twice for the 250 pro overall at his home track Corona Raceway. Also that year I beat "Gassin" Gaylon Mosier at Saddleback. I raced in the Speedway National Championship from 1990 to 2004 best finish 7th overall. I am #26.

Definitely 100 percent wrong. A diving board would not work so well if it were completely rigid with no give at all. I know if I hit a jump on a bike with completely rigid suspension I will definitely still jump.

The small amount of rebound that has occurred since the rider reached the face of the jump will not affect the height or distance of the jump. below is the rider 5 feet into his jump. As you can see now he is standing and the suspension has rebounded while the bike was in the air.

Go into the settings on the video posted above and set it to view on the slowest setting. You will clearly see the suspension rebounds after the bike leaves the ground. And the rider does not stand up until after he leaves the ground which is typical. The rear shock clearly is not pushing the bike and rider higher and...

Still, the shock does not rebound until the bike has left the ground. So it cannot act like a pogo and push someone higher into the air. That is not what is happening when someone seat bounces.

That is completely impossible for a shock to do that even without dampening. Sounds like whiskey throttle to me.

I don't think anyone said seat bouncing doesn't work. It just doesn't work by using the shock as some sort of pogo stick as some seem to think. "It is a combination of loading the suspension with body position and throttle, as well as taking weight of the seat just before wheels leave the jump face and lifting the bike...
