Anderson and Marvin 1-2. We've seen this movie before.
The series may already be over with the giant points gap. Let's throw out 1 finish at least huh?

The point system designed to keep stretching the winner further out of reach will continue to make for a boring season. 1 point difference serves the purpose of keeping them closer together to where they don't lay up.
Who's my rider again? There's nothing personal about wanting to improve the entertainment factor.

I agree with you on some of your points. The injuries are a problem that need to be addressed. Tracks could get a lot safer. We agree on that, but I think we disagree on the solution or where the root issues are. I think teams need to do a better job of who they decide to sign and market as the faces of the sport. Find more Dungey's and less dick brains. The teams constantly get distracted by the "talent" or "charisma" of a rider but what good is it if that rider cant make it thru a season?
And lastly, none of this is a major issue if their was ONE premier championship. The talent pool is spread too thin. Take the best guys from Europe, America, the 450 and 250's and put them all on the same line. The sport then doesnt falter when Tomac goes basket case or Roczen decides to rip up his other hand over a chic.
And Im not a big fan of the scoring either. I wish it simply when by your average finish. Artificially weighting winning more is just that, artificial.
Tell me who had the best average finish at the end of the season and that is who the best rider was that year, end of discussion.
Nobody makes you hate riding like the Baker factory
A Whole Helluva LOT OF Y’ALL were saying...
Jason LEFT Aldon...
Or...
Marvin and Jason broke up and even split the cats up...
Or...
It’s all over and the Series is boring...
Etc...
Etc...
Etc...
I was there, last-night:
Not one thing about it was boring...AT ALL.
The Stadium is nice; but, typical of anything named Mercedes Benz...some of the cool shit DON’T WORK!
(The Roof Don’t Open. Those of us that have owned ML’s know this problem).
Weston injured the track.
The various mains had various winners.
The racing was awesome.
ZachO is pissed.
Marvin looked good.
Jason looked good.
Eli was Triple-Flying LIKE A BOSS; BUT! He, too, I pissed...
At himself. When I commented that he was crushing it the Combos...he responded...
“Pfffft! Sure, for 3rd! Not STOKED!”
I think I like that! The dude wants to win.
Period.
Barcia was second, gets injured, Marvin moves up
If Anderson could get injured too, then Marvin can move up one more spot
What does Aldon Baker have to do with Roczen getting injured, Barcia getting injured, Tomac hurting his shoulder, etc.??
Anderson has a "pretty much cruise to the championship" points lead because of others bad luck, not domination or Aldon Baker.
Pit Row
Equal the playing field is
Some production
Rules
As of Now they take the Best most elite riders
And put them on the Best fastest lightest trick bikes .
How about they all Run box stock motors
Just as it would be from the show room floor.
That would equal it out
Plus be safer as it would slow them down a little bit.
Note: KR was with Baker in 2014 when he got his first 2014 MX title.
