If you want to increase viewership of the pro races, you have to increase turnout at local tracks. People who ride, spin laps, and have done some local races are the ones who watch racing. Sure some wives and friends watch to but they only did because the guy who races or rides got them hooked. The way to get more people riding and racing is by fixing amateur racing and fixing the local track designs. Make the tracks safer , more forgiving, more fun, floaty forgiving ski jumps, fun hip jumps, fun turns, less jumps, less risk, more fun...

I find stats interesting, and I’m an unashamed Hunter fan, so thought this was awesome and hard to believe that after so many legends, that it’s a first. Stolen from We Went Fast: “ Never Been Done: Hunter Lawrence is the first rider in premier class history to finish top five in each of his first 25 starts.”

Some more bits on Jett's ankle recovery. Unfortunately, and as expected, his recovery won't be measured in weeks but months and years before he gets anywhere close to being truly comfortable again, if ever. For context: his ankle is stuck at neutral, which is basically zero degrees of dorsiflexion (the ability to pull your toes towards your shin). To walk properly you need 10-15 degrees. To run you need 25 degrees. A normal ankle range of motion sits around 40 degrees. Jett has ZERO! How the fuck he did what he did at Pala is beyond me.
