I've always liked dragon backs, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say we won't see one like Arlington's (dragon back to single landing to triple) for a while. Took out at least three top riders: Decotis, Cianciarulo and Webb. Any others?

That being said, I think the track designs overall have been pretty good this year, so I hope Dirt Wurx simply rethinks some sections like last weekend's rather than tame the tracks down.

I wouldn't generalize about dragon backs. It was the shape of the whoops on that particular dragons back that left little margin for error. Miss the top one with your front wheel and have your back wheel kick you into an endo. Reshape the approach and takeoff and it's fine.

Big fan of dragon backs.... I feel the dirt crew did a great job... Built a track that made you pay the price if you weren't 100% on point.... The last whoop on the back was shorter than the rest, thus making the section truly difficult...

Didn't generalize. I was pretty specific.
