I'm in agreement that the 450 class might be a run-away this year for Eli. We might see Webb finally rise up?

The 250 class is going to be fantastic though.

e: Just read Davalos is racing in the 450 class, Rockstar Husky with 3 450 guys.

Yeah man. Davalos has been in the 250 class forever. I wondered how it was possible he hadn't made it to 450s yet.

Yea I saw that. Is he going to make Southwick?


I don't know, but I do know that Robby Marshall will be. He's the random local guy who qualified 1st at Southwick on a 250 2t last year. He also got shitfaced the night before the race and did very poorly.

10-4 on Ferrandis. He was looking really good at select Supercross events.

I tried to make a bunch of gifs to share in here, but for some reason, it failed. I'll try better next time.

I really enjoyed Marvin trying to block Eli, especially in the halfpipe. Good races.

You guys still think it's worth it to buy the package? I've been waffling.

It's pretty great. During "commercials" the guys keep commentating and keep showing the feed. On demand replays as well.

Got to sit down and watch MX this weekend after missing last time.

It was p cool to see AP stay up front that first moto. Awesome racing in the 250 class as always. Weege was saying on his weekly "chat with Weege" thing that AP has a high chance of ending up on a KTM 450 pretty soon here. Seems wild to me that Yamaha has the best talent in the amatures, and 3 years a 250 class wins, but they really train dudes to go to other teams. Yamaha really needs to step up its 450 program. Maybe the all new '18 YZ450 will help Webb out....

On the 450 side I couldn't believe we saw the front-line suzuki train. Good starts from Barcia, amazing work by Pieck and Bogle. Also good to see the points tighten, despite Marvin essentially being knocked out this year.

Also, Marvin complained a rock hosed up his front brake. "A rock" is the new "I got tight"

Hahaha thats awesome. I haven't watched second motos yet. Tonight!

I rode Southwick for the first time this year (on two separate occasions). It was pretty fun to watch a national at a track you've ridden. I've never done that before.

It's a great track for going fast when you're not a talented MXer because there aren't any jumps. The downside is there's no resting anywhere as a result.

Excited about ZachO's inevitable move to 450s.

Webb's starting to look better too.
