Which are the most exciting motos to watch in either the 250 or 450 class in the last 3 years of outdoors? Passing, slicing, dicing, etc? Rains a’commin here is SoCal and i cannot MTB in the mud so I need to ride the stationary bike at the gym which is beyond boring. Gonna take my iPad and wanna watch some motos on the NBC Sports Gold app while cycling. Cannot remember the stand out motos that are worth rewatching to keep the boredom at bay. Which ones did you guys like?

Not so much great racing, but go and watch the first couple of races of the 2016 (i think) season when ET3 was blitzing everyone.
Hangtown he absolutely destroys everyone, Glen Helen he was just amazing to watch when he was jumping that uphill wall section into the hairpin, and pretty much whipping the bike round in the air.

What was the moto from the 2017 season where Bagget channels El Chupacabra and basically goes ape shit and breaks all the laws of physics?
Thats a good one to watch.
Edit: I think it was High Point but doesnt seem to be on Youtube.

Hell yes! 338 '16 was WOW.
Worst lost footage was last year (2017) 450 second moto at Budds Creek. I was there. ET3 methodically picked off 4-3-2 on successive laps at the right hander just before the pit boards. Incredible. TV feed was down. Shame. That is etched into my mind.
Then KILLED Baguette here when the feed was resumed...

Is this the one where Baggett passes Tomac? I think that was thunder valley, no? This may be a good one to rewatch.
Eli Vs. Roczen at southwick 2016? It wasn’t that intense though, if i remember correctly. Tomac washes out gets back up and repasses Roczen.
Wasn’t there a Unadilla where there was like 3-4 250 guys going back and forth between each other? 2015 or 2016 Unadilla?

Call me biased because I was there... but the Charlotte MXGP in 2016, MX2 class second moto when Cooper Webb reeled in Herlings for the win in front of his home North Carolina crowd.
Positively, absolutely 110% obsessed with anything MOTO.

You guys might be right. Just watched the 1st 5 minutes of this moto and Kenny was going so fast. I stopped after he got into the lead. Watching him ride with that intensity is bad ass. I’ll finish this one for sure.

I enjoy Roczen Spring Creek 2015, Moto 2 for a sheer clinic in passing.
And Herlings at Ironman 2017. Moto 2 was another masterclass in cutting through the pack from the back.
