2024 Supercross Thread

try 96k here You'd think my gf is doing my picks

 

I don't sub so I have to watch the races the next day. FU to NBC for no podium interviews, no LCQ's and mudderf@ckin' commercials in the middle of the race. That is a big no-no. And dammit Craig#28, pull it together for a couple laps bro. See you in Oaktown this weekend!

 

I want to see an entire track of sand like that. It would be awesome. Like a mix of Dakar and SX.

 

At least they could tune the bike for it. Half of what makes it suck in SX is the bikes are tuned so stiff for peaked jumps and whoops, then they hit sand and the bike is basically a rigid chassis. If it was all sand, then you'd basically just have Southwick National. And the bikes could be set up for it, so it wouldn't be as hard for them.

 

Oakland. Let's here how much the layout sucks.

 

That is a tight left hander off the start! I'm seeing carnage there! Also some odd 45 degree turns at the bottom of the map. I like it better than last week.

 

Those straights that cut back in front of the start gate also make for interesting passing opportunities. Typically forms a hard line / wall that guys go full speed into. The baseball fields are so much better than the football fields for layout. Not so great for viewing, though.

 

It looks like they will be off the ground for 90% of the lap. It's just jumps upon jumps lol.

 

Looks fast nothing technical about it. Gonna be some dudes hauling ass around Oakland.

 

Hopefully ET3!

 

I want Kitchen to follow up with another W.

 

He's local so i'd support that, and hopefully he parks Deegan.

 

Deegan is off this weekend, as the West coast 250s are this weekend. Plus, being teammates, I doubt that he would do that (unless a win was on the line in last turn etc lol.) I'm sure once Outdoors start, those 2 will be mixing it up with each other though. But that is cool if you are from out where Levi is from. Him and his family are good people.

 

I wish the bike teams would go wild with the colors and graphics more often. Orange, blue and red look box stock imo. Flo Yellow Suzuki's are looking fire. If you can't make em fast at least make em look good.

Those Hill Brothers Tedder bikes look awesome. Never thought about it until now, but looks like all of the Privateer Austrian bikes still run the WP48, whereas the factory bikes have the fatty WP52s on them. Maybe my eyes are just not seeing correctly, though.

Edit: Keefer actually reviewed the Tedder bikes last week and noted they're running wp48s with KYB internals.

You can get the ConeValve in 48. So chances are any WP48 is going to be either a Conevalve or a KYB spring conversion kit. Also, last year even the Factory team went from 52s to 48s because the bigger forks weren't working w the new chassis. I haven't even paid attention to what the Factory team is using right now though.

 

I don't care for that last whoop in the section there. Way too close to the corner entry.

 

The factory 450s are running the 52s this year. Keefer has done a walk through on both the KTM and Husky team bikes. Only reason I even started poking around is because the tubes are noticeably massive haha.

Edit: and 250s after a lil Google investigative work.
