How was this possible?...
James Stewart was pushing pretty hard to try and catch Villopoto in the main event before casing the quad and seemingly settling for second. You didn't think the quad was any faster and wasn't needed-- why?
I really think the quad hurt Bubba in the main, by doing it and obviously casing the crap out of it. The quad wasn't faster in my opinion, here's why. If you watched the race you could see James had to lose some time to set it up in the turn before. He was stopping in the turn to square it up to jump all the way to the right. Why? Just because there were too many ruts to do it in the main line. By being on the right side of the track and having a right 90-degree turn after the rhythm section, he wasn't preparing himself enough for that turn before the first triple. He was getting in the turn too tight making him slow before the triple. RV was doing 2-3-3-2, which is four jumps in the rhythm section. James was doing 3-4-2-1 which is also four jumps too but was slower in the turn prior and the turn after the rhythm section."

I like Davids column on Pulpmx because he can tell what the rider is doing wrong or good (technique wise). I like the insight he provides because I personally can't see what the top riders are doing wrong or good with their body and/or bike. It's nice to hear a more precise / professional / nerd explanation about SX/MX

It was less than a half a second per lap though.
Is that the answer you're looking for?
Once James got in second he was slowly gaining on Ryan (according to the TV timing) until casing it.
It would've only been for a couple of laps though, meaning not even a second was gained.
However, in my opinion, quads are gay!
And you couldn't tell shit from tv,that was the worst filmed races ths year,fuckin retard directing the cameras.
Then again, likely not

It's the same thing that happened to RV for 3 races in a row.
The only good thing about RV taking the summer off is you can crawl back in your hole.
Lenny can say all kind of stupid, antagonistic shit on an hourly basis, yet when I respond to something you're all over me every time... classic vital.
An ass kicking is being caught and passed and gapped. Not starting with a lead.
James was beat, no doubt about that.
"However, in my opinion championship's are gay!"
To the topic, I don't understand what the point is... yes, the quad looked cool but wasn't ultimately faster. And they started pretty much together did they not?
