I wouldn't say either. I'd say I "cleared" the table, or "jumped" the table. Definitely didn't double it. Yep. This is serious business. Got to get this lingo in line before it gets way out of hand and people start calling a 5th place start a 5th place holeshot. Wink

I think the guys that dislike him are the types that want to be known as gritty and a little rough around the edges. They don't like the clean cut image that most grandmothers would love. The same guys probably like Randy Moss over Jerry Rice if you know football a little bit.
With the logic I am reading, a 60' table top can also be considered a 60' double. I really don't see how anyone can agree with that. Like I said earlier, come up short on the double and pay a huge price. Come up short on a table, and well, you came up short on a table. No big deal...
So you're saying single, single, table (on off). If that's the case, I would call it a triple. If you're saying single, table (on off), that's a double. /\ /\ /~~\ = Triple (If the rider lands on the downside of the last obstacle or on top.) /\ /~~\ = Double (If the rider lands on the downside of the...
Falcon is spot on. Consider the words being used for a moment. Double, Triple, Quad, Tabletop.In the context of motocross, these words refer to obstacles. In order to achieve double anything you must have 2 of what ever it is you are calling a double. A table top is one obstacle. A single is another. The distance is irrelevant. To...

jnickell Added a reply to mental block when it comes to ruts?

Myke has something here. He loves ruts. Since ruts are mostly a mental struggle, I would bet if we all convinced ourselves that we love them we could improve immensely. I know it's much easier to get good at something you love. Step one, convince yourself that you love ruts and look forward to them. Step 2. Look where you...

jnickell Added a reply to Hangtown vs Glen Helen ?

I have been to both quite a few times. Actually, I've only missed Hangtown one year since 1993 and that was 1994. Been to Glen Helen half a dozen times. I love them both. I've also been to Washougal 1990 and 1995. You're right, the viewing is not that great. Still a must see in my book. Here's my opinions...

He moved over? From what I saw he was banging bars like he should. He didn't just let RD through without a fight.

Period? You forgot to include the other variable that helped him finish so well. Speed! The dude qualified 2nd so the holeshot wasn't the only thing that got him the great finish. I get the feeling Minnesotta boys are born with asterisks based on a lot of comments I read on here.

I disagree TX. Not because I think I know better. I think we don't have enough information to make the assessment that he's a "250 specialist". We simply haven't had the opportunity to see if that is true. Martin Davalos is truly a 250 specialist. Maybe JMart is too (I don't think so). I think JMart is a different tier...

Not sure why any of you are bashing JA for posting this. Yes, we know there are bigger problems in this world and this is a first world problem. You guys complaining about a motocrosser expressing his displeasure with poor communication in his place of employment is no different than you guys complaining about it on a first world motocross...
