Multiple riders struggling and voicing their opinion. Odds are that they nerf them come the night show?

Do they kill the whoops?

Unfortunately the direction they want to go is "everyone the same speed for close racing". So yes, they will knock them down by the time the main event comes around. I think guys like Ken, Reed, and Tomac excel in big whoops.

i like your choices. sums it up perfectly.

All year, the guys who aren't as good at whoops have gotten all the breaks. I would love to have a race where the other guys get it their way.

In SX we have always judged whoop speed as one of the most important things.....

It’s a great obstacle for making and losing time, so yes, they’ll get rid of it.

Watching practice I was like yes, finally a big set of whoops where they have to blitz them. But knowing how things go they will most likely knock them down. I personally want to see the big whoops like this

These complaining riders need to watch a race from 06 with CR JS and RC flying through monster whoops like it was nothing.. thing of beauty

Canard already got his shovel out of the trunk of his car! They really need to stop grooming the track so much! The rougher the better! Separates the men from the boys

Haven't seen whoops like this in a long time. No one looked great. That's how big they are

And there they go, already knocking them down.

I’ve lost count how many times they’ve changed the track after an obstacle presents a challenge and benefits certain riders. Why, dammit, why?!

For the 2nd time. They already brought them down a bit before he said that.

It's really screwed up that the whoops are getting tamed at just about every round.

RIght? I get that Feld doesn't wan't people getting hurt...but come on. This is supercross...if they can't do them they'll fuckin roll em. SEPARATE the talent. Not everyone should be able to do every obstacle perfectly. That's the point.
