Lockdown sucks but it's nice to know that someone is still hauling the mail

You know Eli is feeling it when he post sick videos. 4 time in a row outdoor champion right there (if the series are not cancelled).

It’s his job and he is essential to all the moto heads across this great land. Therefore,

Has anyone been saying anything about these guys on their private tracks? I don’t recall seeing it so I think your making something out of nothing.

You know how you look at a video of yourself and it doesn't look as fast as it felt in your head? Does that happen to him as well? If so, how fast is he going in his head?

They're referring to all of the virtue signaling social justice warriors that believe everyone should be sitting in their house.

Go Eli....just got back from a bitchin' mtb ride myself....😎

Laughing The general complaint is people getting hurt riding and having to go to the hospital...nothing to do with private versus public tracks...

I was scrolling through IG earlier and saw this video of him absolutely hauling the mail. I was like damn, Eli is unreal. Unbelievable talent. Then I scrolled a little more and came across his competition. I was cracking up. Very different personalities, and that’s part of the reason why I love our sport.

His ride first moto at Washougal this last summer was something you can't even explain. I saw Stew and RC battle there, and RV, but my jaw has never been dropped like that ride by Eli.

If I had to pick "one track" to watch Tomac's (others also) raw speed, it would be Washougal.

That right there.....is an incredible question , and made me laugh my ass off. Seriously.......does it look mach 5 behind his goggles , or slow motion? I think if I put " My eye's " in Eli's goggles.....I would have shat my pants about 4 times in that clip. And yeah , probably screaming in fear.

Nothing will ever top the year Villo destroyed the entire 250f class all year. We were standing in the old “catchers mitt” corner after the Chuck Sun tabletop, and the racerx guys had their speed gun out. Villo never let off, from landing to the next jump and was about 5mph faster than even the 450 guys. I can’t even explain what it looked like.

RV had some absolute storming races at his home track, even if the overall wasn't always the best.
