After watching Josh Grant ride an awesome race with RV and RD....he was obviously pushing past his pysical conditioning.....but still gave it his all. All heart! But man....he had some crazy swap outs , almost going over the bars , almost blowing off the side of that big jump.

Marvin Musquin.........when he went down on the landing of that big double , and I saw him crawling back up towards his bike with J Martin coming down for a landing......Swear my stomach went into my throat! That could have been so ugly. look at it in slow motion and where Marvin has his body positioned between his own bike and and martin's bike.......if Martin would have been over to his right another 6" - 1'.........we would of all witnessed something extremely bad.

Glad all of our favorite riders made it out of there in one piece today!! A lot of sketchy moments for a lot of those guys today.

Jeffro I was probably standing right next to you the whole day Laughing Josh got REALLY sideways heading up that double. He had a bunch of close calls toward the end of the moto. Glad Musquin got out of that safe as well.

Indeed it was webbster, but glad everyone came out of that one safe, if musquin wouldn't of slid down the side of the jump a little bit it could of been real ugly

We shouldn't ride dirt bikes. They are dangerous.

Yeah but is that not part of the fun? If we were sensible would we not all have cycles and just pedal along like some eh...

I think it was Malcolm Stewart that swapped out really bad in the rollers/whoops in the first Moto. He saved it, but that's one of those moments when your butthole puckers pretty tight.

I thought Canard was going to get landed on when he couldn't jump that same double because of a lapper, and I think Brayton or someone else behind him did jump.

The dirt, or whatever you call that stuff at Elsinore, makes everything that much more sketchy than it needs to be. I've given it a chance, now bring back Glen Helen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
