I like the newer SX style tracks. When I watch an older race now the tracks dont seem to flow like they do now.
i couldn't agree more...... mx tracks for the most part are the same track that has been there for years but like you said its the lines that hve changed. its the same old thing with the 4 strokes, the ride wide and dive inside and make some stupid turn around the hay bail and then drift all the way wide again. thats why every race i go to theres 1 f-ing line around the track, dive inside drift wide repeat........... and they all jut follow each other around the track like a f-ing conga line......... so boring!!!!!!!
Its the same way here, everybody races to the turns now instead of through them, back when it was all 2 strokes there would be 6 different lines through every turn.
It wont be long and the outdoor tracks on the mx championship will have to start changing to. I cant remember the exact track but they were clocking the top 450s at 75 mph through a fast section..... soon itll be 85.
with the sx tracks of course they have better flow. a four stroke cant handle a cut and dice kind of track. and if you haven noticed but outdoors have been affected also. i never saw unadilla with so many big jumps a track that was mainly just natural terrain and the quad at the des nations??? and the big double in the middle of high point also. i never saw anything this big 5-10 yrs ago. they are building the tracks bigger because the bikes are going farther.
