    That is such a money shot. Is that on your FB profile somewhere?

    But I thought dragging a knee WAS a talent!

    It takes talent to do a front flip on the brakes in the grass.

    I could not believe the fact that EVERY single door that goes into an air conditioned room at the TWS facility, except for their own TWS office, doesn't have a friggin' self-closing mechanism, to keep the cold air in the room...

    Can someone please provide them a link (it's $55, has a 10-year warranty, and a life-cycle of 500,000 uses; just so there's no excuses on this minor expense!) -

    This is my point! Has nothing to do with dragging your knee puck over it or losing it. It's the fact that it's an obstacle that is shredding people and equipment. Has nothing to do with talent or lack thereof.

    we should look at the first 24 inches off the track most carefully, whether it's pavement-drop-offs and little monster concrete thingys; not only to be safer when we're racing but safer when were crashing.

    Try hitting the curbing in 7.. It doesn't matter how long it's been there when u have new people coming to race every race weekend.. The wall at Topeka was there got 30 years and I saw Matt mladin load up his jet and leave a yosh bike trailer and team sitting in the pits all weekend because its not worth the risk..Ryan that's why u put up air fence.. There a fence there but we are not supposed to be off the track..Well saying there's a curb there so u need to go around it isn't really gonna work all the time either..just don't want anyone to get hurt.. I have seen people die in front of me on the track..I can never delete that from my memory no matter how much of that memory I lost from my turn 7 crash!! Stay safe kiddos

    It's smooth now.

    I can't remember if it always has been, though. I want to say I remember it being jagged like 6 is now, but I'm not sure.
