It certainly would be fitting for the Deegans! Not the classiest act, but that is their appeal.

Smith and Hampshire! Reminds me of the MX Sim video contest! Maybe Deegan won't be ghost riding tonight. Tired? Wonder what he'll say?

That's harsh! Anyone could lose it in the sand like that.

It's harsh how much he blows it for his talent! He seems to drift off when he's over half way through dominating a sesh. I don't see young Jett doing that. He catches his slips at least. It reminds me of some of Eli's rough years, so fast then something inevitably happens. I cursed Chase. The track was rad!

I feel like Sexton has taken over what AC used to do. Small crashed, front end washes, tip over-etc all over the place.

I'd give him a pass for a random crash in this.

He is a monster talent for sure, but even Honda doesn't give him a pass it appears. I'm not distorting the truth or blowing it out of proportion, but it has gotten less frequent of late. I'm just saying it gave me a bad feeling when he had that big of a lead. I haven't heard what the pundits have been saying, but I bet they wonder why, like with(as Wahlamt pointed out) AC or Tomac during his strangely mistake-filled days. It will fuel him or haunt him. Savatgy anyone?

I'm not saying he gets a pass overall. It's just unfair for that one sand section. It could have got anyone.

Speaking of going down, Barcia hit so hard that I noticed that his right side of his shoulders looked significantly shorter than his left. That's because of several broken ribs, a badly broken collarbone and the complications that accompany such injuries. Pretty bad for a first-gear endo. Still, we need the villain for the story in SX next year. Plus his sick style is fun to watch.

I broke my collarbone on a BMX bike this spring. Fully displaced. Took way longer to recover than I expected. Only getting close to 100% now.

Doh! Aren't you too old and too big for a 20"? Mine wouldn't break when I was skateboarding at 46 and tried to shoulder roll only to get an AC joint separation. So much pain I almost passed out! The sky was magenta and the ground was white, twice. I didn't pass out though!

I noticed that too, looked so messed up. Almost KRoc 2017 vibes, even though Barcia looked more physically messed up than Kenny (shoulder shorter).

Yeah I am big for it. I rode my old GT for the first time in a long time a few years ago and it felt so twitchy I thought it would help my balance to keep riding it. Riding a mountain bike or MX bike is like a couch compared to it. I actually bought another BMX bike just so I wouldn't beat up my classic GT Pro Series.
