Anyone else think the doubles were awesome!
Hope the track builders drop more in this series!
Nowadays it’s always rhythms and triples, I thought it was one of the coolest parts of the track last night and definitely separated guys that didn’t get the drive out the turn to get them both every lap

I really dug that big double / double section. And yeah , I hope they incorporate them more into the tracks. I liked the entire layout last night.
And there goes Jeffro. One of God's own prototypes. A super high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I loved the big doubles too. When they talked about it in pre-race, I perked up immediately. Once I saw them on the track in qualifying, I was totally digging it. I don't think the majority of people grasp how difficult that first double was to get the speed to clear it. We need more obstacles like that.

Yup! My buddies and I brought those up a few times last night. They looked beefy on the broadcast.

The double double was awesome. Webb hucking it on the last lap of the 450 main was also awesome.

The track was great and I agree the doubles were awesome.

First thing we noticed when we walked in the stadium! They might have been the perfect obstacle as they required skill, courage and the time reward was very noticeable, in other words the guys who took the risk really benefited.
There have been quads in the past that only the top guys were doing but the risk to reward ratio wasn't great.

That was by far the best track I've ever seen it Anaheim 1 ..... And quite possibly one of the best tracks I've ever seen period. I'm gonna have to go back and watch the live broadcast as I was actually at the stadium in person it was so much fun to watch there was always something going on

Was awesome to see. Was two really big gaps with very little run up. Coolest track in a while.

Such a great obstacle for making up/losing time. Really factored in big to most of the battles, passes, and charges we saw all night.
Make more like it damn it!!

They were definitely cool and rewarded the guys who were patient enough in the corner beforehand and had big enough balls to pull the trigger.
Would it have been as cool though if it was a dry race? I have to think that pretty much everyone in the main event, atleast in the 450 class, would've been able to send it pretty much every lap and it would've just been another triple without the middle hump.
Having something like that after a bowl turn would be cool, giving the guys the option of going outside and sending it, or running it inside and blocking the line but having to single out.

Great section. One of the few times in recently memory that they had to hit a corner perfectly to clear something. That looked like a huuuuge gap. Damn those guys are good.

yes ...I think the track would have been more cooler if it was dry..probably would have been a different outcome in both classes..

It really shows how far they're jumping. On those triples, it doesn't look like as much with that extra hump in there. That double double section was pretty cool.

I liked that it brought back the old school element of racing like people have talked about from the old 2 stroke days.
Have to go outside to make the jump, but leaves the door wide open.

I liked that the way they were built allowed riders to go 1-2-1 if they weren’t able to get that first double.
