seriously, everytime a company and/or riders take it to the next level in this sport some assf*ck is there to slap it down and make a big controversy till eventually everyone is pissed and the fun is gone from the sport.
another thing:
I went to Havasu thinking "man, I'm ganna really see what everyone was talking about this place and how cool it is" Not.... I left there a day early cause it was soooo boring. Now I understand less why they do a world event in such a sh*t hole, dust bowl... It's like being on the moon... dry, windy, dirty and remote...
Cocamo's was cool and seeing all my friends was what really made the trip... Other than that... You can see everything in about 1 hour, then you are just walking in circles trying to figure out what to do w/ yourself... I would think after 30 years this event would be more organized and more interesting...
When the guys are racing, you can't tell where the track is and there is no leader board telling you who anyone is... It's like you would have to know every racer to know how to follow the race. The runabout were very immpressive w/ their speed, but w/o a leader board or some type of score board it's just people out there doing circles... THe announcers were good, Mike always does a great job, but they can't tell you everything, that's why you should have something up there for people to read.
