Wow good point, I also noticed in the video right after he took off his helmet WAM super crisp monster cap goes on instantly...

lol ya and the dude lined up all the sponsors you even see like the troy lee designs bag the handle was covering the logo so the guy like picked it up so you could see the logo but he does enjoy monster a lot I've herd.

That's a great question...

Pretty much whenever they have the option. I once watched a interview with Sam Hill, and he said "I exited the rock garden and couldnt see anything. Sat down to pull my tear off off, just got my hand back on before another gnarly rock garden."

Its not like supercross where you will use 10 tear offs in a race. Its 1 run, so its more or less incase you get something BIG on your goggles, or are having issues seeing.

Even though it may sacrafice time, pretty much everyone else will be doing the same thing anyways [but then again, it prob won't happen to everyone either "not like supercross"], but yeah when/where is a good question and spoiledgoods's insite made perfect sense.

I also saw a pic where fairclough pulled a tear-off in the mid-air on a big step-down booter, I think Sam was roosting him hard in practice
