Looks race, like an exotic bird or something. He might have just set a new trend.

I actually saw a kid on a KTM 65 last weekend at the Mid-East Regional run his visor like that all weekend for whatever reason.

If that's what it takes to be that fast, who cares. Great job BB.

It reminded me of an exotic tribal warrior - just going to war on two wheels.

Baggett can get away with it because he can crash and come back to win National motos. But you go ahead and feel free to run that one because it's a "new trend." We'll all point and laugh.

Never mind. I'm guessing this happened during his crash?

Reminds of some freestyle guy some years ago. Metzger?

But anyway, how is it possible to get it pushed that far up and rotate it along the way so the sponsors are seen???

First glance at that shot reminds me of a "tour de france" looking deal.


And if he was on a 65 at a regional, I doubt he was 5.

We actually had quite a discussion about this on the flight from Morgantown. While it might appear the visor was mounted that way, it was actually broken in Blakes crash and pivoted around that way. The side mounts broke but the center mount stayed entact allowing it to flip over. John Basher provided photographic proof. The way BB was riding, maybe he should run it that way all the time.

Thank you for the explanation. I sat here for 10 min trying to figure out how that damned visor could end up like that in a crash. The center bolt explains it all.

I think most of us were sitting there watching Blake right , and saying " How is that visor-reversal even possible"? Makes sens about the center bolt. Someone mentioned the green goblin....haha! Perfect!

i agree...i highly doubt if he could have won the race without its aerodynamic advantages
