I ain't gonna respond to each person individually. Ando crashed, it happens. Especially in the first turn when shit gets bunched up.

The mechanics took for fucking ever. Call it pressure, idgaf. These guys need to train for this. My job is 1000x more pressure but we train for it. In 3.5 years I've let it get me once, dropped a heart on the ground. And that was only because I was trying to fix someone else's mistake... still my fault.

Take a day every week doing common race repairs, and time yourself. Do it over and over and over. Suddenly doing it quickly becomes pretty easy.

You guys actually think 14 points is a close championship? Barring a freak incident like what happened tonight, Anderson still has this locked up. BRING ON A PLAYOFF FORMAT

Agree.... they should train for front, rear tire and brake change-outs. You get this, you get that, you have than in your hands, etc.

"Anderson had a 34 point lead before the main and now has a 14 point lead.. he lost 30!"... Solid math Ralph.

These announcers. Sometimes I wonder if they’re actually paying attention to the race.

The commentary isn’t for us seasoned fans/riders/racers it’s for the newbies.

I get what and why they comment the way they do.

Yep. Truth right there. I'm LMAO at these people saying he should have a better mechanic. 'Shit for brains' is what comes to mind when I hear idiot comments like that. Vegas is going to be good this year!

Eli's helmet painter painted him a helmet with a red angry bull on the back, it was quite funny considering he's sponsored by Monster. There is a thread if you scroll down a bit.

I mean... Look at Tomac's SX seasons the past couple of years. Anything can happen and now Anderson is under intense pressure. Tonight was suppose to be the easy clencher.

x2
There's only a few things they can really change on the side of the track that's worth doing, front and rear tire is probably half the list. Should have both ready to go and all the tools for it together. At the very least when it's a race like this in regards to the championship.

Dropped a heart? Are you a heart surgeon? Wouldn't that be grounds to get fired?

Whatever it is that you do it sounds important and I'm glad I'm not the one doing it. I don't think it's gross or anything, I just don't think I could deliver bad news in the event that things go wrong.

But when they can’t seem to follow who goes down, events of the race, and then say Marv gained 30 points on Jason, eventually it gets tiresome. Watch an NHL game and note their ability follow and report on event and then compare. Or, watch MXGP and compare.

Haha not a surgeon, I'm still in school Sad

I work in the tissue transplant world. It is grounds to get fired, but not for the first time. Mistakes happen, I'm not the only one to have done it. Only bad news I have to deliver is to my boss, and hes pretty cool. They are gonna start having donor's family and recipients coming in to talk with us. I'm not looking forward to it. Awkward enough when the families come by to take a tour.
