Big fan of the event like everyone...but just for the sake of discussion.

At first the novelty was straight rhythm....now the novelty is 2 strokes. Given that....does it need to be 2 strokes going straight? What if some turns were added, some sort of hybrid track? It could still be 1 on 1 bracket racing for safety...just curious of others thoughts? Could it make better racing/worse..would fans/riders still be game to show up?

And let 4 strokes race, but make sure they are allowed to be almost double the capacity.

To be fair., a similar event was held in Australia where the track diverged near the end with two tracks seperated with a mirror effect with two corners (left then right and vice versa). It was ok but one track seemed faster than the other.

So did they change the name of the event to 2 stroke rhythm?

I think one left hand 180 would be cool at the end of the current straight then run it back the other way.

What if they get rid of the jumps and have them just go around in a circle really fast.

For what it is I think it’s perfect. We have stuff with turns coming up soon enough....this is a very amusing event so I suggest they leave it as it is

No turns is the beauty of it for me. It’s a Supercross drag race.

Because it’s called Red Bull STRAIGHT Rhythm. Red Bull Crooked Rhythm sound right to you?

Or a straight line with no jumps and just drag race.

Wouldn't mind having a 180° thrown in so the start and finish were in the same vicinity. They can call it "Red Bull Twisted Rythym".

I get it...I get it. It’s straight rhythm. Just pointing out that IMO all the hype and interest is because of the 2 strokes....not the going straight part. I still love the event...just wondering if one bowl turn and an over under would add to it..but also get that all you need is one berm for somebody to Matazattack someone.

He’s crazy. No one could ever be that stupid to allow a rule like that!
