Townley was in contact with Dean Ferris during the day and had told him that hitting that jump had seriously scared him. I dont remember him ever having any troubles with any jump on the US circuit, and definitely didnt hear anything about him being genuinely scared about hitting a jump. As for RV and Dunge doing it every lap, maybe, but that section of the track was seriously rough after practice, and would have been serious commitment to continue to hit it every lap. It wasnt all that faster either which was why more guys didnt hit it.

having been there and watched it live, I dont think so, but do not let your USA is always best hat get in the way Jay,

it was not like larroccos where you are jumping up hill, since the landing was lower than the take off you sort of fell out of the sky, and even if you landed on the down ramp it was a hard hit, only 2 riders tried it, BT and Lawson Bopping on the CDR yamaha, both never bothered with it in the main,

To me, him going for that is a sign that he is fast, fit and confident, which can only be good news heading into the outdoors Cool

DV12 posted a video of a french guy hucking this jump. Wish I could remember who it was. But it was just ridiculous in a Happy Gilmore making that last putt sort of way. It was a downhill hit that i would not try without a parachute and/or a lifeflight on stand-by with a priest on board.

in all seriousness, its been a long time since i have seen BT in this good of shape mentally and phycally, and riding this well, i would go back to des nations in 2005 since i have seem him this confident on a 450,

not saying he will go out and dominate, but i can see podiums and if things align maybe a win or two coming though, hopefully more of the top guys can stay healthy out there,
