FORKNER has really changed my mind about him this season, just the way he came into the season a bit more humble , handled the incident with jet well , and came back mid season even though he's out of the title, just hoping for some wins and gate drops Is pretty badass .
Bummer they are going to knock them down a little. Fun to watch the riders being excited and watching who's going to hit the big ones first. Excited for tomorrow's race. Thanks Weege.
Nah. As some one who loves big booters those are to gnarly for SX. Late in the moto’s you’d see some gnarly crashes or someone getting landed on because the slightest mess up and you have to roll it. And I’d say almost all the riders wanted it changed. They just need to fix the landing some and they would be good tho.
I get it fellas, not wanting any riders hurt. Especially as technical and competitive as the sport already is. But you have to admit at 12:30 when all the 250 boys are watching the big bikes, like amateur's watching pro's for the first time it brings some extra excitement for race. tomorrow's race.
@@Degenerate124 This is true, IMO the only problem with this jump is the landing. It's way too short for that size jump. I think if they just made the landing bigger it would be forgiving enough to stay the same size.
@@mr.erico8431 it’s awesome to see no doubt but in racing form it’s just not practical. A jump like that where you have to be damn near perfect every lap and the risk is massive just doesn’t make sense. They should have made the landing different to give more room for error and it probably wouldn’t have been changed.
Just recovering from a torn mcl, not as bad as a meniscus or acl tear, but definitely know what u are going through INJURIES SUCK🤯🤯 hope u get better soon weege, as always love the content.
Im just excited for an east/west showdown in a SPEEDWAY!! The first time this ever happened its going to be banging im having bets for standing on the poduim Jett,Criag,Thrasher and a Wild Card Marchbanks. 450s Tomac, Sexton, Anderson, and Maybe Webb. It's going to be badass and also a mudder so my picks won't even add up. Its going to be a badass round for sure
Shimoda is such a quiet guy! But he's made in the elite of the supercross world so you know there has to be a WILD ASS RISK TAKING FOOL in there just trying to get out. LET IT OUT JOE! LET IT OUT! New slogan for Shimoda... 'LET IT OUT!' 😆😆
Marty wis a legend. Watch him at red bud 1976. Got his googles. My dad was track Dr and he had hurt his wrist and why did my dad‘s opinion before he spent the night in the emergency room for no reason. I was 10 years old and I said Mr. Smith can I have your goggles and bingo he handed me one and then came back in hand my brother one about 15 minutes later
Wow! Freaking 4 second hang time over that triple. I hear they're making it safer which is good but WOW!!! That was freaking awesome to watch! I think you said 110' but I'm pretty sure it was 125' which is freaking insane! I couldn't imagine trying to hit that with ruts and stuff. Someone would be hurt seriously.
Well then dont hit that with ruts and stuff, wth is with people now thinking you should go 100% all the time ... Riders need to be able to control their own limits .... And even the best PRO racers in the world has limits.
Maybe one more, but I cannot help but think any more would detract from how special these events are. In my opinion, any more than 3 would saturate them. Outdoors is for letting the bikes breathe.
weege. I count on you for more INFO into all SX AND MX racing. And your not giving your Post race reviews. ENOUGH. They are better than they do up in the booth for 3 mins. Wrap up. !!! But I didn't see a video from you on Start times for the race today. And I FKN missed it. I went to Peacock and Nothing. I thought maybe it got rained out. , but no it already finished. I'm not happy with myself , not knowing the start time 😥😳🤷♂️🤔, but always awesome job Weege . Tbey need to Up your Position in the Sport , up with RC And Our #1 guy on the ground . Idk but FELD, OR WHO ever owns them these days , PAY THE MAN !!!$$$
Going to be an interesting show in that triple section.If alot of those 250 guys were having issues with it, what are they going to do 3/4 into the race when they get tired?
@@Jeremy-bc2sz They should have kept it, and if the riders couldnt make the jump safely, they shouldnt. I want to see challenges for these riders, not them riding on tracks they 100% and are comfortable with.
@@daniellarsson3699 knocking the landing back 15-20’ isn’t going to make the track any less challenging, but it will make it safer and keep riders from potentially getting seriously injured or worse. There’s a difference between a jump being out of a rider’s comfort zone and a jump that is pushing the limits of the riders and machines to the point of being unnecessarily dangerous, even when jumped _as intended_ by track designers. Sure, you could say riders shouldn’t full send the jump if they’re not comfortable with it, and many won’t, especially on 250s. But when the only chance you have of a decent finish is hitting the jump because not doing so is significantly slower than the top guys hitting it every lap, of course you’re gonna do it anyways. Also you have to factor in what happens when someone inevitably cross ruts or spins the back wheel going off the face of a jump that big… along with things like, what danger do people not hitting it and rolling it pose to those that do hit it, and how is it going to change when the track is deteriorating as the race day goes on. At the end of the day, rider safety is far more important than the cheap thrill of watching guys taking huge risks to hang it all out hitting a jump that is super gigantic and difficult just for the sake of being super gigantic and difficult.
Okay so I have watched racing my entire life and I have heard about this Phil ‘throat slit’ thing forever can someone please explain and tell me where to find this? Is it a video or what just anyone out there please let me know asap
Bullshit they changed the jumps.. that’s the issue with supercross it’s the cookie cutter shit that never changes it was actually going to be exciting for a change
bullshit they changed the jumps? lol you wanna see people cartwheeling off a 120 ft booter? and shortening that triple won't make any difference to the racing .... for someone who has been watching sx for a long time ,you haven't got a fn clue 🤦♂️
Weege: "We need to slow down supercross to lessen the risk to riders. A 60-foot jump is still gnarly, but less risky than an 80-footer." Feld: "How about 100?"
Speed isn't the problem. its the slow tricky stuff that gets you(deep whoops, and tight rhythms on a tight track). When you go faster you tend to slide rather than stick! Remember , its not the speed that hurts, its the sudden stop!! LOL This track is big and fast like an outdoor track, much more room for riders. That being said, the rain is supposed to hit in the morning just as qualifying starts at 9am. Red clay turns to slick red sticky mud, it's probably going to be hard to go fast in those conditions! YIKES! 🤕
@@JeffJackson86 AWESOME! I love mud races, a great ''equalizer'' becouse its less about the bike and more about the riders abilities to control the bike :D
@6:03,telling Craig "but you'll be on a big bike then"..hahaha WTF Weege since when was 250s not a a big bike???Let's take it back to true Triple Crown of the 80s,when only mini's were not big bikes,AMA nationals were #truetriplecrown
I am losing interest in Supercross because too many people get injured by poor track design. West coast whoops are horrible! Winning a title should not be about the last person standing. Easier tracks make for better racing. Tomac won by 2 races, why even watch anymore? 250s it is!
why change track? race or go home don't start destroying supercross like F1 or moto gp..i am tetraplegic because of motocross but i will be happy if you give me chance to jump like this and ride on this track and i am amateur
FORKNER has really changed my mind about him this season, just the way he came into the season a bit more humble , handled the incident with jet well , and came back mid season even though he's out of the title, just hoping for some wins and gate drops Is pretty badass .

These vlogs are just amazing ,the access is second to none. Way to go WEEGE
Predicted the race spot on
“He would’ve smiled”😂😂😂
Casual Team Fried drop 👌🏼
Hope Forkner has a streak of some good luck after all the injuries. Track looks sick, that triple is scary huge! Thx 4 the great vid!
You are the man weege!!!
Just recovering from a torn mcl, not as bad as a meniscus or acl tear, but definitely know what u are going through INJURIES SUCK🤯🤯 hope u get better soon weege, as always love the content.
What a great looking track!
supercross needs these large jumps , lets go :P
Go Enzo #80 and Ramyller#70 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Im just excited for an east/west showdown in a SPEEDWAY!! The first time this ever happened its going to be banging im having bets for standing on the poduim Jett,Criag,Thrasher and a Wild Card Marchbanks. 450s Tomac, Sexton, Anderson, and Maybe Webb.

Wow. Tough track. Man, there is nothing more tiring than a jump where you land in the sand. Those are exhausting over 20 laps. Nice track.
Best venue on the circuit..
Alway Great to see U.. Thank you for all the insight. Ouch knee °Team Pain ®✓™
Tell them all to take their skirts off, there were bigger triples then that 20 years ago over in Australia’s supercross masters series!
1988 Daytona Supercross had a massive tabletop & jump after it that only ten or so 125 Pros did. bigger than that tripple.
Jett predicted the race perfectly
I wonder if all the 250 kids are always trying to hit up Christian Craig to go buy them beer somewhere after the race. 🤔
I'm thinking Jett Lawrence is Honda's Marty Smith-RIP. Kick ass riders and highly marketable.
Marty wis a legend. Watch him at red bud 1976. Got his googles.

6:10 2 New Jersey boys! Cool!
SHOULD. HAVE. LEFT. THE. FVCKIN. TRIPLE. 😩 sickest jump at a supercross EVER.
I'm really glad they took out that huge triple. It was a safety issue coming out of a slight turn like that.
Holy Sack Shrinker!!!
Weege and Troll train both need more Nicoletti
We need to add 3-4 more rounds just like Atlanta (mini Daytona) to the series. Let the bikes breathe
Maybe one more, but I cannot help but think any more would detract from how special these events are. In my opinion, any more than 3 would saturate them. Outdoors is for letting the bikes breathe.
"He would have smiled." 🤣🤣🤣
"yeah daddy aint happy" lmao
I see Phil's new ride behind Forkner. He should be able to manhandle that thing!
Totally rad!👏👏😎👍🏼👍🏼💯
MASSIVE!
I wish they would have left the big double in the back.
I've got money on #35 today!!! Marchbanks gets it together and pulls off the East / West shootout!!
ClubLife!

daniel blair is the lawrence brothers #1 fan
Sucks they tamed the track down. Was great to see the best dudes actually struggling with stuff.
I think Pierce Brown is a sleeper and he will only get better and better He was a 20th place guy outdoors just 2 years ago and an LCQ guy in SX.
Wow, Shimoda's English has become so fluent. I wish I could speak Japanese.
goddamn that's a huck for an "sx" track
Going to be an interesting show in that triple section.If alot of those 250 guys were having issues with it, what are they going to do 3/4 into the race when they get tired?
they shortened the jump after press day riding.

was this a glider race or MX race? the airtime was nuts
Who is the silent lady trying to stay out of the camera while you were talking to "J-unter" Lawrence and DB? DB's wife? Mom Lawrence?
Jason Anderson said they need bigger stadiums for the 450's!!
pop a wheelie, grab a gear, and Have a competitive super cross series
🤣🤣🤣🤣weege that's hilarious . Phil would of smiled if he won 🤣 would of been so cool
The RJ tuck lmao
lets have another ron ron vs JS259 2004 vegas if we want to talk about Jett being the next 259.
Can anyone tell me what jo and Austin are wearing?
Fraggle Rock is coming back
i heard jett call himself daddy kinda sus
Did axle Hodges design this track bc it suited for him wow how about all those worped frames an. Blown out rists
Forkner with a torn labia, that makes sense
how is forkner back racing so quick? do collarbones heal quick or something?
hes broken it heaps as well hasnt he?
They do heal pretty quick, especially if you have a plate in it, can basically ride after 3 or 4 weeks
16:38... Ha Ha... Was he fixing his hair?
He was doing something to it. I wouldn't call it fixing it haha.
Okay so I have watched racing my entire life and I have heard about this Phil ‘throat slit’ thing forever can someone please explain and tell me where to find this? Is it a video or what just anyone out there please let me know asap
Might be a mudder
No fun if they gonna modify the jumps..
just realized you called Nicolettes crash and broken arm and called hunter Lawrence winning.
Lame to take out the big jumps, these guys are all supposed to be the greatest there are and they can't do it?
Is cooper Webb in tomorrow?
Yes
Who is the first guy to hit that jump. Any Rider any class? Can you tell me?
Freise
Nothing to do with SX but I know ur a huge wrestling guy .... what u think of AEW and cm punk, MJF, Tony Khan ... etc
