dirt bike dave said:On the webcast, they said RV got up holding his wrist in obvious pain. Sounded like he initially acted like his race was over, then later started his bike like he was going to rejoin the race to salvage a point or two, but quickly pulled off. Broken or sprained wrist, maybe?

flynbryan said:Ol89R, you really feel the tracks are too technical? :think:
I find it pretty obvious that the tracks have been dumbied down substantially over the last 2-3 years.:
Ol'89r said:Not so much too technical as too one line.
I would like to see more options. More lines through the same corners. More flat corners without berms, more splits. This makes it interesting and gives the riders more options to make a pass. To me, the single line, follow the leader racing is boring. My idea of racing is two or three or more riders fighting it out in every corner. When everyone gets spread out in a follow the leader fashion, I go look for a good book to read.
The vintage track design at A2 was technical but it had many options that made it interesting and threw everyones timing off.
I'm not saying to make the tracks easier but to make them more interesting and not build obviously dangerous jumps or sections that only a few of the top riders can make. Build them with the idea in mind to keep the pack together, not to let the top few run away with the race while the rest of the pack plays follow the leader. This would keep the racing tight and exciting. I realize there is only a certain amount floor space inside a stadium to achieve this but A2 was proof it can be done.
When you have all of the top guys out with injuries at the end of the season, it takes a lot of the glory away from whoever can survive and eventually take the title.
I definately had the same thoughts. I had heard that he and his mother parted ways on a very sour note but never got any confirmation. It sure seemed as if he was extending an olive branch when he said he still loved her and did it for her. I give him a lot of credit if that is the caseCombat767 said:Anyone think Millsaps interview sort of eluded to some troubles at the Milsaps training facility or troubles with his folks? Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but it sure looked and sounded like he wanted to say something, but didn't get far into it. :think:
Man I wish we had 45 minute lap times but wouldn't it then be a Hare Scrambles :) ;)Ol'89r said:Now, we have under 45 minute lap times so they can pack it all in within an hour. And you're lucky if they show anybody beyond third place. More fireworks and rock star crap than racing.
Just my incoherent ramblings.

If we made SX and MX safer, we'd have to call it flattrackOl'89r said:Like I said, I don't know what the answer is but, using a little more common sense and engenuity when designing and building the tracks may help. Motorcycle racing is a dangerous sport. Always has been always will be. That's what seperates it from other sports. If it wasn't dangerous, everyone would do it and they would call it golf or sumtin' like that. ;)
