AMA SUPERCROSS!

I do enjoy both, but you can't tell me that SC is in the same league as MC. Let's see, indoor, (mostly) climate controlled, or at least an in the cooler months, and one twenty minute moto, vs two moto's in the searing heat, lasting on average of 45 minutes each. Back before you were born they "used" to run three moto's outdoors, and ride real (500cc two-strokes) bikes. As far as opening cerimonies, it pisses me off, to much like wrestling... Again, you don't see that crap at outdoor races...

 

Damn bro chillax. Besides indoors(sc) is for marketing and also so riders can race during the winter months. Don't know why they need to be compared when they serve two different purposes.

Also sc has qualifying and heat races before the main, and since the track is so tight there is no time to relax where in mc you can a bit on the straights. Not that that is a huge factor but its another difference between the two.

 

Now your showing that you've never been to an outdoor race, there is qualifying, and less time to rest, (think all the big air in Supercross, and smooth groomed rhythm sections). There is none of that outdoors, plus speeds are polly twice as fast, and twice as long, then, a whole other race, that's more brutal, (very little, if any track grooming). Don't get me wrong I watch/keep up with SC, but not in the same league as MC..

 

Im looking forward to seeing dungey on the ktm (as an Austrian) and JS return to form. Funny how the season is starting so late this year

 

Is it late? Seems about right to me, can't be over a week out of sync if any.

 

Not really too interested in making this into an argument, but you are implying that pinning a bike on a long straight racing outdoors is exceedingly more challenging that constantly being in a rhythm section? Of course thats and exaggeration, but I'm trying to make a point. Indoors is short intense and technical, whereas outdoors is longer more conservative and less technical.

I'll bet my left nut that ANY pro level rider would say the exact opposite of what you think. Give me a second and I'll provide a link. The "less technical part" is making me laugh. You have a track that is changing every lap, again, for around 95 minutes of racing, vs a perfect course (groomed EVERY heat) for a total of less than twenty minutes...

 

Is disagree with both of you actually. Neither is easy. It takes an insane amount of strength to do both. Every real racer knows the ONLY place u can relax is in the air. Other than that, if your truly pushing yourself, no straight, corner, rhythm, etc is ever okay to relax on. They both are hard in their own way. AAANNNNYYYWWWAAAAYYYSSSSS, would u guys be down for updates during the races o.n here? Like, post who's leading, who fell, etc? Or just save it for the TV? Cuz between all of us there should be descent amount of races covered. Especially when people jump on here after the first race to talk about it

 

hell yeah thatd be awesome especially if someone is away from a tv or something they could get on here and see whats up

 

Alright cool. Ill do what I can. Pics too if possible

 

^this^

indoor: more compact, technical, high paced. groomed and repaired (not perfectly) each heat

outdoor: high speed, less compact, technical, ever changing with longer races

 

same for me

I don't recall stating either was easy. And you help make my point about resting in air, (which of course is a higher ratio in Supercross). And your idea is great, I've got Atlanta covered, and others do too, I'm sure.

 

Good deal

 

Ok guys maybe you should start a SC vs MC thread! Let's stick to SC on this one I got you guys covered from SD! Has everyone seen the tv schedule for this season most races are gonna be on tv live!

 

Yeah but if its not live we can post, also for anyone who's there for qualifying can post up who's lookin good, who went down, blahblahblah. Alright but sick so sd is covered. Who else has somethin else? Oh btw, we really weren't arguing we were just conversing. Nbd.

That track looks interesting, gonna make for a good first turn.

 

first corner is gonna be soooo sick. makes for great racing, really doesnt matter where u start, inside or otside can work. i think id personally prefer outside but still. stoked on all those hips too
