wow the sun is out now.
This was always my favorite time to ride, when the sun peeks through the clouds and looks like you're riding in the sunset. This track layout and dirt/sand is realllly making me itch to ride even if I have to duct tape my feet to the pegs lol.

That was wild. Massive gust of wind blew tuff blocks all over the track on the triple and run up before the finish right before that crash. Hope he is ok.

Happened right in front of me got distracted with peoples stuff blowing out of the stands then look up and tuff blocks are blowing everywhere. Wind or distracted because of tuff blocks had something to do with that crash. Major bummer.

The speed through the obstacles on the straight are so impressive. Can you imagine if it was 1977, the track was this tack, Bob Hannah was the man, and you dropped Eli Tomac from the sky to burn some laps. Hannah's head would explode.
Exactly. People who say "the tracks were harder then" need to open their eyes. The tracks now...the tracks then...they were the same relative to the riders and bikes of their times. They were as tough as the promoters and track builders could make them for the bikes, riders, skills of the time.

But on an absolute basis....then to now, it is a different sport almost. Hanna's head would spin if he saw today's tracks then. Then it would explode if he saw how today's bikes and riders could run that track.

This is the nature of sports. Standing on the shoulders of giants. You end up with kids who are 14 years old, mastering skills that did not even exist from the sport a few generations ago. It is just the nature of competition, the inevitable result of youth emulating today's stars. Then you add advances in technology to the mix.

No, it is not relative. Track builders now roll the whoops, have faces that are the same height etc. In the 90’s-early 2000’s the tracks were vastly different and nowhere near as cookie cutter.

With that said, today’s tracks get beat up quicker due to the power of the bikes.

Any update on Jordan Smith? Had him on fantasy but now I might have to switch it up if he'll miss the night race.
