James coming out for the nationals could be the best thing for him. Maybe not win the title. But challenge for some wins, make some podiums and try to get some positive momentum for SX. then we can see rd on fire, James doing well, and Rv ready for some even racing.


A guy can only hope.

That was totally uncalled for. The flagger that was standing off to the side of the jump was totally in the wrong place. I am guessing Pala will close after this or suddenly become pretty damned expensive to ride as their insurance levies are going to skyrocket after some legal clown sees this

For me, it seems like panic revving was always just something that happened subconciously. I know reving the bike in the air helps bring the front end up, but thinking back on every nasty endo I ever had, there wasn't enough time to process the thought of revving the bike before the revving started. It was almost like the it became an automatic reaction to the feeling of the front end dropping. It isn't limited to jumps either. Listen next time a rider gets caught way over the front wheel and rides it out over a few whoops before eventually crashing.
