2017 Outdoor Discussion

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

I had a similar issue to Tomac back a long time ago. I went down (ironically in the same corner Tomac did), and rode across the infield just like Eli with my front brake locking up (so embarrassing). I'm so dumb it was a rock logged into my front brake lever which wouldn't let it go out :lol:

Honestly didn't see Bogle winning a moto this season, but holy shit he deserved that.

I think that he was considering the possibility of 24-0 and when he lost that first moto at Glen Helen it just kinda seems like he lost focus for a few motos. I'm going to bet he comes back at High Point and goes 1-1, or we'll see Baggett back up his ride last weekend and go win. People quickly forgot how insane Baggett was in 250s, and "if" (he did) he ever brought that intensity to 450s, nobody can beat him (except maybe Roczen).

Baggett was insane in 2012. Bad starts, railing all moto in hot and cold conditions. Seems a bit like what Tomac did in 2015 before he got hurt. If Baggett finally (PLEASE) can get his old self back, this will be one hella fun season to follow. Usually Thunder Valley isn't one of my favorite tracks on the tour, but this year, wow, so many good motos.

And if you see how good Bagget's SX season already was ... He's more than just an outsider, he'll be very very close to the title if he stays healthy.

Baggett won a 250 SX Main event in his rookie season, people talk as if he's terrible indoors. I think when someone is so good in one specific series, they discredit their ability in another.

Can we sign Weigandt and Langston to a lifetime contract? They work so well together and it's seriously leagues above Ralph and Jeff in supercross. Jason doesn't ask Grant stupid-ass questions about fitness or "what is this rider thinking right now???" If a pass is made Jason's voice doesn't crack because he's screaming his guts out. Every time two riders get close to each other it isn't considered an "aggressive move" by Grant. And they are light-years ahead of past national broadcasting teams like Drebber and Pingree (holy shit they were terrible).

Really bitter about Dungey retiring now...with how inconsistent everyone is riding and how consistent he was, he'd be whooping their asses right now in the points. Should have waited till outdoors was done and walked away with another mx title.

If you head isn't in the game then get out while you can... but yes, Dungey would already have a 25+ point lead by now.
