If Josh's front wheel hits that jump an inch lower he would have gone OTB, face first into the ground. That happens you would have heard an uproar from everyone that it needs to be fixed, instead most will wait for the crash before they do something about it.
If it takes longer, so what, its worth keeping the riders a little safer. Im sure they would agree.
My solution, print the sponsors on 3M vinyl, then you can just stick that to the tuff blocks (because it is so impairitive to have sponsors on there, and you may even end up getting 3M involved in sponsoring supercross.)
Nothing is forcing them from stopping and pulling them out of their wheels.
Next your going to want to pull out the steel finish line structure because one rider might push another into it! HAHA!

I was thinking the same thing with the 2 strap idea mentioned by a few other guys. It would keep the cover on the tuff block, so if a rider got one caught on the bike , the whole block would go with it, and the rider would have to get it out for his own safety. It would also allow air to escape from the cover if a rider landed on it.
Slide the tough block in and put the open end facing away from traffic.
Of course than when they hook one with a foot peg they will be pulling around an entire toughblock instead of just the cover.
That is not a safety issue though.
One 20 degree nite at fulton county stadium I had last gate pick for the semi.The start was 7th gear all the way down left field foul line.When I caught sixth gear the pack moved left and I got on top of the haybales,endoed then hit that plastic sheeting they laid on the plywood.My god it was like an ice skating rink.I stopped when I hit a wall feet first with fans spilling cold beer on me.
Give me tuff blocks anyday

They are made of vinyl like banner material for durability, but can't handle an axle bolt.
