I'm a simple man. I just enjoy Webb not winning.

I'll see if I can get him to sign an autograph for you next weekend

I prefer going to foxboro over jersey due to proximity but going to jersey means going to Rutt's Hut for some delicious hotdogs

On a course like this, being raced at this time of day, I wonder if it is more like outdoors than indoors and benefits those type of riders

fwiw, 1. use your clutch to modulate throttle.

2. 20 is fast on dirt depending on what kind of dirt.

3. look up, not down. If you look down you're going to end up going in and out of the tracks. But if you look up it's a lot easier to not fall down and go in/out of the ATV and other lines.

4. angle your toes in a tiny bit and it will help lock your calves against your bike which is how you should be holding on, not with your hands. Sometimes you can't avoid hands but those times you probably be modulating power you're putting down with the clutch. Graham Jarvis says that he only uses the clutch and just keeps throttle consistent. I don't think that's entirely true but I think it's true enough.

I think, once again, the important point is that Cooper Webb didn't win.

Only if you immediately eat it afterward in front of him and then say "mm, tastes like failure."

Re: 4 / Graham Jarvis, it's more true for a 2t than a 4t

Also there's just plain experience and seat time to it that will reinforce all the above good habits but without it, the good habits wont be enough. Eventually you just get good, maybe not great, but anyone can be good with practice

My wife is on photo level 3 now with her boo Kyle (he was the first person to like it in Instagram this morning lol) but having the superstar 94 on his team means we couldn't hang out at his tent and shoot the poo poo with him like we usually do. That being said, they had the most organized autograph signing of all the teams and Honda is disorganized and terrible as usual

We bailed once the delay began because we had to drive home to ct last night and then drive to Maine this morning but holy poo poo those mains were crazy

Congrats to Chase Sexton as the 2023 sx champion and Honda for currently having both 250 east west and premier class championships in 2023

Mathematically, tomac finishes second right? That's a little funny. And if Roczen finishes ahead of webb then he gets third so... still something to root for in the last race.

Yeah Webb isn't racing in Utah and is like 3 points up on Roczen which should not be a problem to get around and that lands him a 3rd overall
