In fairness to Lucas, he has gotten much better at keeping it on 2 wheels the last couple of years. The crash at Foxhills was not his fault, and I think his crash at Southwixk was a mechanical issue?

From the November ‘72 issue of Cycle Sport Magazine….

Heres my dad ripping buckley berm in the 70’s with an open face, sand deep af. He was one of those local guys who would beat up on the national guys when they came to town. Heres another pic, not sure where, maybe capeway rovers.

I grew up close enough to the track that I could sometimes hear the bikes coming off the start gate from my house. When my friend and I started going to the National in the mid 80’s I always thought Skyhook was the coolest part of the track. The first MX races in Southwick were in 1972, but not in the current location. The original track was closer to the center of town.

Idk, barcia has been top 10 and fighting for top 5's the last few rounds. He's right outside the Laws, deegs and prado, at this point id say thats dong pretty good considering where he was after his crash

100% - u called it. AGREE

I think he's also referring to how much time Jett put on 3rd....it was something to behold live....

This right here. Happens every week and always has. Everyone says someone had something amazing faster pace at the end over the leader, but don’t mention the leader let off at the end lol.

I think the sooner they come the better off they’ll be. The tracks/style there are just different enough to where if you stay there too long you’ll have a harder time adapting here. At least it seems that way with Jorge. And he sealed the deal 4x over there. Lucas seems like a safe bet to do well eventually in sx. Sacha? …idk man.

Since the dates conflict, if not winning the MX2 title, Sacha should come over for the SMX finals and take the money. He qualified winning at Southwick.

Heck, the coonen bros have got me watching mxgp coverage again... even if they got hurt, it helped turn a lot of American eyeballs over to mxgp...

The idea that the Coenen brothers need to win an MXGP/MX2 World Championship before coming to America is outdated. Their long-term goal is success in the U.S., and history has shown that arriving as an MXGP/MX2champion doesn't meaningfully increase a rider's value or marketability here. American fans, sponsors, and teams judge riders by what they accomplish in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross not by titles won overseas. If America is the destination, the smartest move is to start building that legacy now, not delay it chasing a credential that won't change the outcome. If for some reason Lagenfelder came over...
