I think the tuff blocks need to be moved
1.keep them on top of the corners leave an opening exiting the corner (warton wilson)
2.take them off the jumps put them at the side of the jumps down near the concrete leaving a few feet in case a rider goes off the track.
3.Put them in between the lanes, double them up so if a riders exits the track like the whoops he still will hit them before going to the other side of the track.
these 3 simple little things will save a lot of riders from unnecessary problems.
I understand the primary reason for them is advertising but safety should be more important

They should just 'glue' tuff block covers instead of the actual tuff blocks....

Didn't Bagget get screwed by tuff blocks on a start this year? Didn't Villopoto crash trying to re-enter the track in the LCQ and then came close to 2nd but failed to qualify... Reed got screwed by one big time. I think Sipes totally lost it after being pushed wide into the tuff blocks.... Remember when Grant's rear wheel locked up for a sec while leading A1 because of a tuff block...

Top of the corners, OK... everywhere else, not sure... I guess I think it's stupid that these blocks have an impact on the races/championships...

Stop complaining. They might go to banners and then we won't see shit.

Dont we have enough technology to make a foam block with the shit printed directly on the foam? No covers needed that way....

You could make a foam block with the logo printed directly on the foam, but it would be costly, and they would tend to dirty up, The covers are washable, and that's a plus.

I think they need to mount them to the ground but not super secure. Just enough that a little clip won't move them.

Foam blocks would take up way to much space and be very hard to move from round to round. The ones I seen they were using in BrisVegas SX last year were blow up ones, I'm not sure if they're the same in the USA.
