this sort of jump shouldn't even be on a amateur mx track, and id even go so far as saying not even on a pro mx track
I was thinking it was quite well constructed, sure it's a big leap, but there are a number of safe shorter options available to the rider, t's not a jump it all or nothing jump.....but you'd want a flaggie there on race day
as far as i'm concerned it shouldn't even be an option, if the pros or fast amateurs are doing this then change it. or dont, and complain about all the injuries
its dangerous, whether or not there are other options for the jump
See, I'm on the other side of this argument... I don't want a track where I can go out and hit everything first lap, just by looking at the jumps, which is almost every track I ride now. The fun in motocross is the rush, the adrenalin. That is what this jump is bringing to the table. I get where you're coming from though, with the safety thing. Nobody wants a flatout dangerous or harsh track, we want a fun track! In my opinion, that is what this jump has, the FUN factor for the experienced guys, and this is not a dangerous jump, there is an option to not jump the whole gap. Rather break it into two tables, which makes this setup perfectly acceptable in my opinion. If we start taking out the jumps like this, where do we draw the line? There are plenty of bunny tracks already out there.
