I watched one guy destroy his roommate's bagger in the heat races leading up to the final. The guy was toasted and crashed the bike every race. Good stuff.

just because your bikes on fire doesn't mean you should stop revving the engine.

Motion are you saying there were elimination heats to end up with that motley grid for the race we saw? If this was the cream, can't imagine what showed up in the heat races.
Too funny. Guys must have been well lubricated to jump up after some of those wipeouts and try to go again.

All I need is one irresponsible HD owning pelican to sponsor me with their bike.

I can't believe they are still allowed to do that in America. Maybe there is hope for us. Awesome fun.

I'm amazed they were finally able to start making complete laps. Can't imagine what the earlier matches must have been like.
