D finding that hole in a rut and endowing sure took a lot out of him.
Looked to me he went in hot and hung on the front brake too long after he hit that ....carrying him over the bars.

Watched a Utube yesterday on Deegan MAV.
Him and his Dad was putting down the classes "To avoid the comp"..
Rather then help build the sport it seemed like they were in unity giving excuses as to why they are in their class.

Dono, just rubbed me wrong

First time looking at LL . I am kind of shocked by how sketchy all the big named rider s are . Bar a few. Ryder D , Deegan and a few other s . But most are absolutely all over the place . On the ragged edge . I know the track is sketchy . Not many new Windham s , sexton s , or Jett s that's for sure.

Watching weather this morning it looks like today might be a wet one with storms that could possibly lightning delay the races

He's a natural. He'll slide right in to a coaching/mentorship role or in the booth when he hangs them up..

I don't think he was saying it looked easy. I think he was surprised by just how tough the track looks because he had never seen it before.

I'll say this, seeing it in person is completely different. It's impossible to understand just how rough the track gets and how deep those ruts are until you see them in person.

You see the 125,s winning both motos in 450 c . He,s from Mn. And 250c a 125 went 2,1. I wonder if they will ban 125,s from these classes next yr. Kinda makes the 250 and 450f,s look bad.

My son made it 2 years ago. He said it was by far the roughest track he had ever been on. There is absolutely NO rest or break on that track. Watching it on TV does it no justice. That track will make fast guys look slow. Trust me - they're not sketchy or going slow.

Alessi is 2 points down going into the final 25+ moto on his crusade to break the record. That means it is not enough for him to just win the moto, he needs Martinez to finish 3rd or worse. Get your popcorn ready boys.

That track gets beaten, we bitch about a rough track with a couple hundred racers on a sunday. Only imagine the number of riders and laps per day.

Does anyone else think it is redundant to have Schoolboy 1 and 125 12-17? To me it seems like the exact same class. I just double checked and there are eight classes that a C level kid on a 125 can race in. We need a proper 125 (or just 2 stroke) Open class.

Guessing this is a frequently asked question.. But what is the difference between schoolboy 1 and schoolboy 2, how do they decide who goes in which, etc? They didn't have 1+2 divisions when I was a kid.. I see some of the other classes have slight age shift -12-15 for "1" and 13-16 for "2".. but schoolboy 1+2 are both the same age range? Thanks in advance!

Schoolboy 1 = 125 class usually for kids coming off 85s who don’t want to race 250 quite yet.

Schoolboy 2 = 250 centric class for kids to race in conjunction with B class.

Riders are not eligible for the C class if they have raced LL's previously in any class. So kids coming off minis that want to race 125s would only have one class without the 125 b/c class.

Im really impressed with Braswell. Gaining confidence.
I am not sure what is going on with Hymas this week, maybe he is a better Supercross rider at this point. Either way, I am sure he will improve his outdoor riding in the years to come.
