It’s fast and good flow. Looks very fun. I love how the corners are wide and sweeping allowing the riders to keep up the speed. There’s pretty much no tight corners or spots where they have to come to a stop it’s just wide open almost the whole track. Very impressed and the daylight allows a more realistic viewing for us on tv.

I was just thinking the opposite. It looks damn near impossible to pass.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose....

It'll make for some interesting racing. I see a few of the top guys taking it a bit easy and slip into survival mode. Brutal out there.

I am assuming this the most sarcastic post in the history of this froum

There looks like Zero flow, riders casing the shit out of every jump section and single lined bowl turns.

Only thing that will make the mains interesting are the ruts in the jump faces, but not interesting in a good way, interesting in a way of how many riders will leave the night without an injury.

They said on the broadcast that the riders are in the air 49% of the time lmao PinchBlink

Doesn’t flow that smoothly and very narrow. Probably not much passing in main events, hopefully I’m wrong...

It's a harder packed version of Seattle or Indy in my opinion. Not going to be setting blistering lap times by the end of the race, it's all about being consistent every lap. I'm not a musquin fan, but I could see him doing well here come main event time.

7 left turns and 3 right turns. I was watching it and started to get dizzy with all of the left hand turns. Looks like it will be very one lined by the 450 main. There's a strong possibility the rider leading after the first lap of each main wins the race. But it is very technical and "hitting marks" will be tough.

Also, bring back the Semi's. These long dead air spans in the broadcast suck.

Well despite everything, the track made for a very interesting 250 main

Level was on to something after all Smile

Boing, boing, boing... is there more to supercross than rhythm jumping and a whoop section?

I thought it was a great track during the timed practices. I couldn't wait to watch it raced on tonight. I totally didn't think it was going to be one lined and everyone following the same lines.

It’s the ruts but the design is great. Those bikes just chew up that dirt and cause major ruts. Looked great earlier but now falling apart but in peak condition it’s an awesome fast track.

Its like a throwback two stroke SX track! One of the best tracks for exciting racing in a while.

Ok, that race was fantastic. I think the dirt/ruts made the racing so good, not the layout so much. Regardless it raced great and I was way wrong. Lots of fun to watch that one.

Oh my freaking GOD what a track. So many different lines ended up being used and so many mistakes because it was so gnarly. What a fucking race and track. That was awesome.

I like the fact it shook up riders being consistent. More mistakes, more exciting (not talking Bower style mistakes. That was crazy).

Bowers get off looked like when people attempt a backflip for the first time. That was so gnarly.

Do you think he got wheel spin or was it just a lack of commitment?

To me it looked like he just got whiskey throttle because of how he landed on the jump previously. Didn't he end up like quading out of that section?

Personally I don’t like when tracks fall apart that bad but it does provide exciting racing. I made my post after watching the very first heat of the night when the track was top condition. It was a shell of itself that last main. Top riders in the world barely able to jump some rhythms because they were so sketchy.

That bowers get off was brutal. My goodness that was bad. Hope he will be ok.
