You going to Tampa? Go north of there on 75 and Croom is right next to 75 and the white line shown next to 75 is all woops for miles.



Is that right behind the motel (Holiday Inn I think)? I've ridden there if it is and you are right about that loooong section of whoops.

I don't see the difference between a triple and a double. You case the shit out of either or them it doesn't feel nice. I don't see why it matters how many humps are in between the take off and the part where you land.

Great idea that got me thinking why does sx need any obstacles? I say get rid of any and all jumps whoops and corners, just drag race to the finish. Just my 2cents

The question is as simple as "Bonjour" like we say in Belgium. Do we need triples in Supercross? I ask this for following reason, when a 250 bike gets block passed but can still make the triple without any problems, then I notice that it isn't a challenging object anymore. Ok some airtime is cool to look at for the spectators, but replace those triples with something like: Dragonback-Tabletop-Tabletop-Single or Single-Tabletop-tabletop-reversed dragonback. That would make things more challenging and more options for rhytmes makes more passing.

Or do we need to introduce the "FMX Ramp - Double"? A very wide Steal FMX Ramp with a very long landing like in that one off race back with McGrath? You could make riders go high but not that far, because I find triples just a waste of space without any options to take it.


Please fill me in on your opinions?!
The best racing takes place on the ground. My opinion is no they are not needed

Let me consult my supercross panel

Is that panel made up of a triple or 3 sets of doubles?
