Doubling a triple is a mistake. Four riders abreast aren’t all going to make the same mistake and have to funnel into the same spot. Yes, sometimes multiple riders will see a rider double in front of them and decide to double too, but if they know the rider used a safety route and has no chance of being in...

My computer files tell me I made this image in Aug. 2014. (Always meant to start a thread. With these recent accidents I figured no better time than now, but first I thought I'd check recent topics.) The escape route, in yellow, was my first thought. If doubling riders don't use the safety line, they get docked 3 positions...

I always thought the 250s had an inordinately high number of “noun” names. These are just guys who made mains since 2012, and even then only most of them. Hill, Gardner, Hampshire, Robin, Archer, Bell, Moss, Faith, Baker, Raper, Canada, Champion And in the “close enough” folder we have Webb, Frye, Coates, Weeck, Tennant, Lilly & Baguette. If you had...
"Major pet peeve was choosing a number and having to hold right on the joystick forever and a day to get to #115 since i cant be #15." I was watching a guy showing off the game features on YouTube going from like 800 to 550 one number at a time and laughing my ass off. Have these Milestone clowns...

If I may be so annoying as to bump this thread, it is a considerable theory. I know it's everywhere that he changed the bike, but the fact that he qualified first last week and proceeded to stank it up in the main was...funky. So check it: You just know it bums Tomac out that Roczen, who he usually had...
As mentioned, the RACING needs punching up, and that means an evolution (or de-evolution) in the tracks. Each track should only have one rhythm lane, and the rest of its length is berms and ruts, turns with multiple lines, hip jumps, style jumps, multiple over-unders (store them with the dirt), etc. Like the Charlotte track. With only one rhythm lane...
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." -Mitchell Jordan Stewart's realistic and almost inevitable reign in the sport was undone by the things he didn't do. -look both ways before crossing the track -say no to cross-jumping in traffic -say no thank ya to the backward Yamaha for 2010 -give Aldon Baker a million dollars to just go...

I felt compelled for a moment to defend Roczen in this thread--he has another full season of domination outdoors under his belt, as well as another 20+ mains and 5+ wins, since he was fucking up in SX in 2015. But wait...does anyone remember what happened at round 17 in '16, when Roczen was looking for his 3rd pass-and-leave-Dungey win...

Not so fast, Crushinator. If you give Reed the points he lost when Stewart ran him off the track in Dallas, you'd have to give RV a spot in the Jacksonville main; he got run off the track, too.
