I'm just now reading prizes and not really understanding what I'm seeing. AM's get picks over 6th in 450 pro, 4th in 250 pros? NOVICE over 7th 250 pros? Surely this isn't right....

It's no different than it has been in the past if you look at value of prizes for championships and down. Fact is, they still won a championship in their class.

This is from nationals last year.

I just want to make a note for Motoagogo. Armstrong didn't win A1, Jeremy Shipley did. Also, Armstrong is not Australian.

No idea how neither of us got legs off. Nice battle Jesse, tried to keep it clean and I don't think either of us fell in the race due to getting together. Sorry Whealon for taking you out btw, didn't mean to put you on the deck, thought you were going to check up.

I did not know it was the same as the past. But let me try and explain why I don't think it's right.

I hate going back to it but as many of you guys know I won an AM championship and got nothing from it (not saying I expect to win anything). Was also my first year racing back in '14 and rF didn't host AMs. Say you guys did host SX AMs in '14 and I won, I would have got a better prize than 3 years later still sweating on this game. It just doesn't make sense. I understand they won a championship and that doesn't just get handed to you but there skill level, time/dedication is only a grain of salt to any top 10 pro. They are just getting started with their "career" if you will.

I think you guys should possibly reconsider giving AMs better pick at prizes. Not only the AMs but a novice rider could have got the game this year and win a better prize than someone with years of experience with nothing gained. Also novice class is free right? They should be getting last pick since they didn't spend anything to race.

I'm really not trying to cry but I want you guys to understand where I'm coming from and hear your guys opinions.

I almost got us both when I jumped off track and my rear end slid out causing me to launch back on, I tried to stay where I was so you could go around me.

STILL kicking myself for crashing at the end of the main. I re-watched it and I was still in perfect position to get 6th, then I had 3 weird ass legs off crashes and ended up 11th :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

You are not being a dick at all, actually I appreciate when people let me know if I am saying a name incorrectly or have wrong info on a rider. If I am going to commentate a race for people to enjoy then I want to be on point as possible. That being said its been a fun season commentating the pro races and excited to see how it all turns out next week.

To be honest I came into the season expecting to be top 15 in points, and at the very best sneak inside the top 10. It's crazy to be sitting 7th coming into Vegas, and at the very least I'll probably end up 8th (I need Whealon to chill out on the 4-5-0). I think I've only gotten 4-5 top 10 finishes but I've made every main this year except A2, which is more than anyone except Tysen, so I'm definitely proud of that! It's been a good season, and I'm hoping to carry this consistency outdoors! It would be really cool to earn a career number, but that's still ways away!

Last night was brutal trying to race with the stomach flu. Felt terrible and rode terrible. At least able to salvage something.

Sorry the stream is up so late, but here it is:
