I overheard a conversation regarding a recent motocross race in Florida. It seems there was an “Over35 No Jumping” class. Now typically I’m in favor of much fewer classes. No need to copy the ridiculous Limella Lynn’s class list for local events. Just Expert, Amateur, 30+, 40+, 50+, 50cc, 80cc, and longer motos. I also feel no need for a separate 250cc and 450cc Novice class.
That being said, I’m intrigued by this, and would love to know how it works. Do flagmen wave flags on the biggest jumps? Must riders roll everything, or there a go around bail out? From experience, often times there is one jump that if I’m not doing it, there’s almost no way to win. It’s usually a stupid, unnecessary, 55mph mid-straightaway and with balls you could jump it on a XR750 Harley.
Thoughts?
