that led to that shit head block of Big Al before the downhill double? I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread started on this yet, it was flat out dirty and dangerous. If I was Martin I would've been pretty livid after the moto.

I personally thought it was awesome.

Can I interest you in golf? It's a great game and the US open final round is on today so it's a perfect time to watch

What was so dangerous about it? He had several bike lengths on him. It was more so AMart didn't jump past him while he kept messing with his goggles. Was nothing dirty about it.

He didn't hit him, he was protecting his position and a chance at the overall. He did what a smart racer would do IMO...

Fair play I agree to disagree. Kinda funny how everyone gets all over Marvin over a couple of accidental cross jumps, but when Osbourne looks over at Amart, pops out of his line, and goes 10 feet out of his way to block him (while basically at a complete stop) before a high speed double it's ok. Cool. Got ya

Was a dick move but obviously didn't fire Big Al up as he wasn't able to get near him after it happened

I was hoping it was going to give Amart a case of red ass and motivate him to "overtake" Osborne but he was fading, no bueno....

Watch closely : Zacho pops out of his line BEFORE he looks over at A-Mart.
That changes everything.
1) he pops out of the berm and knows that he's going to have to go wide
2) he looks over to check if A-Mart is on that line and yes he is but far enough that he (Zach) realizes he can get to that outside berm before the #6 (and block him)
3) he does so.
Fair racing in my book.

Zach had a faster pace than Alex. After Zach lost those goggles , if he would of let him by , he wouldn't of been able to get him back. That was " smart racing! ". Alex had a couple laps to get Zach back , but couldn't.....what does that tell you?

These guys are fighting for as championship. Not some stupid plastic trophy! And protecting your position and getting maximum points is what wins championships.

I don't get this thread at all. It's freakin professional MX.

i'm 99.9% positive he didn't pop out of that line on purpose. watch it again. he looked over at amart to see if he had room to stick the outside rut...and hence keep him behind him. your making it way more nefarious than it was. And i'm not even a osborne fan. he just got all flustered with his goggle/visor and lost concentration and popped the rut....its an off camber and your going to the bottom of it to turn. big deal.

I agree with everything but AMart's #.

Oh it was a douchy move for sure. Good thing Alex didn't have it pinned and plow into his ass. But, Alex checked up and all was good. Osborne was coming through regardless. No harm, no foul.

Maybe squirrelly move would be a better description???

Get out of here with all that making sense stuff. My thoughts exactly. Majority people don't understand racing in the moment.

Absolutely brilliant race craft on Osbornes part. Loved it.

You've never raced or understand competition or...
you have a sandy vagina.

IMO it was just like a block pass. It's fine as long as the other rider has an out....i.e., you give him room to shut off or switch lines. It's called "strategery!"Huh

Nothing to see here.

Buncha bad asses here! "Can I interest you in golf" "you're a giant pussy" "get a cat" "sandy vagina" etc. I was just giving an opinion of what I observed and it seems that quite a few others agree with me. I have spent much time on a bike and racing unlike a majority of people on this site. Lots of hypocrisy on this board.

I'm no Osborne fan, but the dude had at least 2 bike lengths on Martin there. He can go wherever on the track and at whatever speed he wants, period. It's called "leader's prerogative."

So if you have a bike length on someone cross jumping should be ok by that logic right?
