Jumping over the whole mess seems to be the best approach. Even then it looks dicey.

[deeto]

pffft... I could do that!

[typeone]

i wanna catch one of these some time. just nuts. great to see Husky in the mix!!

wish the stands were that full for the vegas supermoto. place was EMPTY

[BMFR6]

the injury rate has to be out of control for these guys. and on top of that, how are your knees and back, lot of flat-ish landings there. but it is awesome to watch

[RyanNicholson]

lol that has to make for one hell of a frustrating day trying to go fast through that stuff

I'm impressed.

[seth399]

man, ricky dietrich is such a good rider...does this, gncc fulltime and then goes out to ama mx nationals and places top 7 or so (on a borrowed factory Kawi).

[Pittenger5]

I could do that!



The crashing at the beginning I mean

[gregp]

I like that it is pretty much a 50/50 mix of two and four strokes competing with each other. And it is crazy to do that race in the dark!

[Paul_E_D]

That might just be easier in the dark...

That might just be easier in the dark...

kind of like how new england trails seem easier when they are covered in autum leaves , you don;t see the shit coming so you don't tense up about it , just ride over it .

Its too bad that series hasn;t taken off, I would like to go see that around here some where local .

[breakdirt916]

wow that was awesome to watch

it's fun to see people who are really fluid with the bike do things that just don't seem possible

it makes me want to hit the woods and rocks this weekend in Franklin and stop complaining

wouldn't a torquey 4-stroke be advantageous there?

[lrrs699]

that is some cool shit

Maybe, but a 2stroke is a lot easier to pick up over and over. Probably makes a differencce on a course like that. It's also easier to save a big moment on a lighter bike... lower center of gravity on the 2 stroke as well.

about a minute or so in, the guy on the kawi knows how to take the checkered flag.
