To Gilbert: For a stunter that has been in the game for over a decade, who recently split his head open like a coconut because you were wearing no helmet and trying new tricks...i doubt you should preach on the issue of safety.

Re: clutch control??
i think it will be better organized next year. for someone who never put together a show i feel he did an amazing job promoting...for months i saw flyers or heard about it.
as far as safety, your right. barriers would be nice for the spectators, esp since it was being filmed for superbikes....but then again i have no idea what that costs to truck them in etc...
there was a mandatory gear thing on the flyer but it seemed like it came down to just a helmet. i def agree with full gear for comps...more professional looking, but as far as shows i ll never wear a helmet. see avatar.
at the end of the day he was asking for input and feedback...wanted to hear the good and the bad. which was nice to see.
hopefully next year will be different, i heard the convention center was very pleased with everything and supposedly asked him back for a whole weekend next year.

Re: clutch control??
It was actually quite a bit bigger than you are putting it. I do believe alot of the riders that i talked too were down with the size of the lot at XDL Vegas. I think the lot in XDL Virginia was even better.
Always props to Thomas for stepping up the game and forcing everyone to follow or get left behind. The 2 XDL events i went to this year were my favorite events of the year by far. Riders get treated like the center of the show and not just some side act. From the registration to the riders meetings and the awards ceremony, everything is very professional!!!!
Thanks again Thomas for keeping the dream alive!!!!

Re: clutch control??
No doubt when 20 of the top riders in the country show up at an event, placing in the top 15 must feel pretty great. Congrats to both of you.

Re: clutch control??
I would love to know Jr's score to know what he should be working on. Anyone know?? I have emailed a couple of people, Mikey SBF doesn't remember his score, I know someone must have it.
XDL is a very nicely run event, and it's always great to watch the best of the best ride.
Props to Thomas from here as well.

Re: clutch control??
Marcus Jr. competed at SW this year, that was his first comp. Then we went to VA Motorsports Mayhem, XDL was his 3rd comp. He got his F4i in Aug. of last year, but he was said to be "no rookie" and 'competing since the age of 13". Who knows?

Re: clutch control??
I knew he lost some points for that. He gets so nervous, really nervous when he knows some of the people that are out there watching him. He does great at shows, I think he is so concentrated on making sure he remembers his run that he misses out on the crowd thing. He is working on it though.
