They're just too dangerous. Who knows what is on the other side of those things.

Would it help if they put Plexiglas on the approach so riders could see through the jump?

Maybe if they lined the jumps with these warning flags it would be better:

Oh fuck! Laughing Laughing Even if they did, just think if someone hit neutral.

Turns are dangerous, get rid of those, just drag race. Wait, going fast is dangerous, better put a speed limit on that, but then people could get fined for breaking that speed limit, how about whoever signs in first wins? Shit, they might papercut themselves in haste...

Fuck it. Let's just open a trophy store so people can get trophies without the hassle of buying a motorcycle first. They can be hazardous to your credit score.

Stepups are fun - and any jump is blind, regardless of configuration. Even a tabletop is blind when you're going up the face (which is the last chance to change your line if someone is down on the other side).

What if we give out trophies to all the racers regardless of where they finished. Then we would have no losers.

We could even have all of them on the podium together.

On another note, are these some of the guys used in the USGP spectator count?

As usual, there's GOT to be someone that takes a joke seriously. Not you Worcsracer. I'm referring to racer111.

WTF? Can nobody tell a joke anymore?

I think this thread is HILARIOUS!!!! It's especially funny that some people are on here defending step-ups as if jasonv43 was being serious. Freakin mental midgets.

When I had my track, I was always threatening to sell trophies at the concession stand.Unsure

You could "trade-up" whatever you won, for just a bit of cash. Your Grandma would be proud!

plexiglass may get dirty. so we should install cameras on the back side of the jumps, like on the drop offs. then a huge ass screen on the approach side. Riders can then see in "real" time what is going on back there........... wait...................

this would be a distraction and they would then crash before the jump.

ah hell we are stuck with the flagger and his ability to text and flag all day.........
