2016 SX Discussion

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

Can we hire Al Jazera to say Dungey took PED's too? That would at least give his dominance a fun conversation

Still doesn't ruin his podium streak that he is being heralded for.

Do we know what happened to Musquin on the last lap? It only took me a minute after the race finish to get off on the podium sweep, and I stopped watching after that.

My question is where did dungey jump on a red flag? I didn't see it at all. Reminds me of the Jason Anderson incident 2 years ago in the 250 class

I remember seeing Marvin and Anderson check up at the last second. That flagger was all the way to the inside of a 180, literally between the two lanes. Marvin and Anderson barely saw him at the last second and yet again there wasn't even anyone on the track at the time. Flagger should have been facing the other direction, way more visible and then he can keep an eye on the situation on the track as well to see when the track is clear.

Stupid but I know Anderson wouldn't let it go if they let Dungey get away with it since the same thing happened to him this year.

A season marked by attrition. Had a huge increase in pit stops with flats and failures this season. Getting us ready to deal with pitstops when they switch to the chase format next year.

Honestly, considering the laptimes they are pulling now changing the race length in qualifiers/mains wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Canard has barely kept the bike on 2 wheels since he has been on 450s. Always making mistakes it seems not sure if he is riding above his limit or what.

Thought it was funny O'Mara on Martin saying he is goat level. Dude makes way too many mistakes needs to focus on being smoother (Only watched Detroit). Look at dungey he is smooth doesn't just twist throttle hard and knife bike into corners. A lot of younger riders don't understand you gotta go slow to go fast. Becomes more apparent on the 450s.

Well all the outdoor wins and last weeks last to second I think he is pretty special. Sure though, we can condense it to a bad start and a wash out.

Outdoors his style works really well. Sx it seems hit or miss for him almost too aggressive at times washing out front end. He never seems to get consistent starts and last year's sx season was a joke. He got ran off the track by some rider in the lcq and didnt qualify for the main iirc.

Also that image is interesting, are those warmers on the forks to keep the air in them hot so the spring rate stays consistent? I like airforks solely for the weight savings, but dislike them for every other aspect :lol:.

John and Eli Tomac apparently said warming the forks prevents pressure gain or gathering. Although someone said that once they take the warmers off the bike sits for 20 minutes while waiting in the tunnel before the race nullifying the effect.
