2024 Supercross Thread

I agree. Both main events were lame.

Did they bring Jett into the commentator booth as an eff you to Blair?

 

Ohhh that would be ugly if it were true. TBH though I kinda doubt it. Not that I'd put it past them, it just seems more likely that it was already in the works, since they do that with injured A-listers a lot.

 

Savatgy posted this morning that he collapsed a lung and broke some ribs, similar to J Smith. He’s likely out til outdoors.

 

So many bad injuries this season.

 

It's a long-standing trend. IMO, one thing they need to do is invest more time in track prep. Linear programming time constraints aren't a big deal anymore, just bite the bullet and add another 10 or 15 min track prep. Especially for events where the track likes to deteriorate quickly. And as a side benefit, the broadcast could use that time to get all of their cursed puff pieces out of the way so that we aren't watching some damn reporter talk while the race is running.

 

We discussed this a couple weeks ago. Back when it wasn’t a live broadcast they put in a lot more time between races to fix them. The tracks were in great shape before the start of the mains. Now they are a disaster. I think they should eliminate the LCQs and use that time to fix up the track. They can show pre recorded interviews, etc. during that time.

 

I had no idea there was a beef going on. I watch half the time on mute or in the background. Here for the people putting in the work on the track, not the egos in the booth.
That being said the above mentioned video RC is just being an asshole. Even if there was outstanding beef that was just 100% powerplay dickhead.


Too bad Roczen got stuck behind someone else's mistake at the start. He's basically out of it now and the 2 issues weren't really his fault.

 

Yeah KR has got to have the worst luck I've ever seen on the track. Really frustrating as a Kenny fan, I can't imagine what it's like under the helmet.

 

I dont know why but I pull against sexton. I dont even know why. I was hoping it would be Kenny and Tomac going at each other every week for the title. Stupid practice injuries and lappers

 

I said almost exactly that on another forum a while back. I noticed that I was rolling my eyes at him, and came to the conclusion that I'd gotten burned too many times pulling for him and having him make the same mistake all alone to throw it all away. It was kind of a "dude, just don't. we all know how this ends" reaction.

 

Wtf we supposed to talk about this weekend?

 

more of the same. someone going out injured for the season. Webb plodding methodical and stacking points. Sexton screwing the pooch even though hes fastest. Ju Hill having so much potential but just cant get over the hump even with like half the top guys out. Basically same shit as last week and the week before. just rinse and repeat.

 

Formula 1

 

No race this weekend

 

Pretend like I know how to ride this weekend and not wreck myself out in the desert.

 

Now we’re talkin

 

Look at the bright side. Nobody is going to get hurt this weekend… unless they hurt themselves in practice

 

We can discuss how many top 450 riders Yamaha is going to have next year.

 

What are some of your favorite races? I'll start with A2, 2014... Practically the whole starting gate led at one point or the other. And the come from behind from 22 was awesome.
