The old man wins it...and travis didn't do as well as I'd hoped...******* yamaha needs to get their pit times, and actually pit stops...straight...and they'll hold it down.

I have no idea what you mean by saying the old man wins it unless you mean McGrath...

Off topic but did anyone else think the course looked ridiculously unsafe, particularly the asphalt portion? There was like zero run off and I didnt see a single air fence?!

Bingo.

When I started looking up Ward's past riding experience some time ago I was shocked. He had done ALOT of riding on 2 wheels...including 7 AMA wins to name one thing.

I teared when I seen it I wish I could have seen it in person.

You talking about entering the asphault section? If so I completely agree with you.....I also think they designed the pits horribly...crew members almost getting ran over, bikes almost pummeling each other...it was a disaster waiting to happen. They seriously need to do something about that....


EDIT:

For all of Ward's racing accomplishments (x-games sumo win just added to the wik. by me ) ;

Yeah, Henry's team mate (I forget his name) was fast as #@%&. He could have won easily if not for the disasterous time in the pits. They should have been watching McGrath's pit stop (under 15 seconds) granted they had a problem with the fuel door thing. Pastrana had the hole shot of a lifetime. Poor bastard, I wish he could have held it together just a bit better (kids got heaps of talent). Overall I enjoyed the race but I think the things the x-games does trying ot make it different just add to much drama.

Yep, definitely a junky, I need to stop f-ing around and get in the industry somehow. Right now I'm starting to do interviews and articles for VTEC.NET. I should be posting my Jake Zemke interview in a couple of days actually...

Thats 1 reason in part why I like X-games SuMo....had they not had the pit rule, and what not, it would have been a steal for yamaha....drama is fun in motorsports

I like to watch people suffffer.
