@hIker900: yeah, him and walker were super talented bmx racers. You could tell watching them ride they had skills on another level and would go far with riding.

Massive congratulations to Luca! I’ve been looking forward to this moment since the days way back at the Weaverville BMX track and watching the young lad absolutely shred with Walker back around 2010. It’s been a long time coming, very much deserved

@steini: I think I missed that race. This one has been an interesting watch so far

I have never seen so many riders go down or off the track. 8 out the last 17 starters have crashed as of Kuhns run.

And not a single person trackside even attempted to help him get untangled. That could have gone south quick

Man that was rough to watch Asa get tangled in the timing gate. I did not like watching those ropes get tangled around his head, coupled with the absolute lack of response from anyone trackside. I feel like that could have gone really wrong real quick

@TommyNunchuck: he was the best of the best. Was a treat to hear him and Elliot Jackson commentate the 2026 Tennessee Nationals at Aaron Gwins windrock bike park https://youtu.be/iWW26z6MqSQ?si=7ocWpSNRQvTSQe7o

@rabcity: I think we will all be lucky if that is the outcome of this. I think this is what we’ve all feared we’d see at rampage. I don’t think you survive a crash like that straight to your face/neck from that height with that much force. I really hope I’m wrong.

Being the producer for a broadcast for a big off-road racing series (King of the Hammers/Ultra4 racing I will give you my thoughts on what is about to happen. Our events get edited down to NBC TV shows, so I have some experience with this. Sadly, I don’t think it will be ever as good, as raw, and as enjoyable to watch as it has been over the red Bull years. The transition from Freecaster.TV to red Bull brought us expanded coverage, better angles, and solid graphics/beta. In my opinion it is not going to get much better than it was here. Here’s the thing. Add more cameras and try to get more course coverage and what will happen is well actually see less and less of each race run. With so many racers, so much course, and only so much time for the event/broadcast, we’re going to get less and less of the action, and more and more of “the story.” It’s what the director, and the people running the show want. They want prepackaged content to put around the snipets of racing, because they believe it gives a more compelling broadcast to lay-viewers. The problem is we are not average viewers, we’re fanatics, that know what happened at the roast race, we know what happened last season, and we want love raw racing action. That is where the story is. That’s why we watch the races. We’ll be getting less and less of the raw coverage and more ans more of the mainstream stories that we see in all other forms of sport broadcast. People will tell you it’s good for the sort, it’s exposure, finally the athletes are making money, but all that is really happening is one of the best live webcasts is getting pushed aside in a cash grab and we’re all worse off for it.

Compact indeed! I never had a bike that would buzz the seat into the rear wheel with such force and consistency. Amazing I didn’t neuter myself with it.
