American Flat Track at Sturgis TT 8/11/24 | Highlights

[@rodneycaupp5962]

Just one more note , for a Newbee. All Flagmen have the very exciting job of waving the flags in the middle of the tracks, everywhere I've been.

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

The day that Mees retires the sport will grow.

[@bprickard]

4:31. Just like ye ol' man. Shout out from home Mica, Washington 🏁

[@DickGoesonya]

TT flat track is bad ass.

[@JRH99]

#1 should have been disqualified. I don't think running over someone's head after he makes the guy crash is allowed.

[@crazyracer41e]

Yeah mees is a sore loser forsure

[@olearywu]

That did not look good, for sure. 😮

[@bradsanders6954]

@@crazyracer41e Hes a cheater, him and Tolbert know every cheat in the book + more. Ive never seen anyone run over a guy's head like that. Like "sorry bub I gotta get rolling". He didnt think there would be a restart? Not smart.

[@markgiraldes4062]

@@bradsanders6954 I’ve seen some crazier shit than that just for a trophy Philippe Sanchez ! 😜 how yah doing Brad 😎

[@andrewreebel6418]

Yeah that was dirty for sure.

[@SuperMickey57]

mees riding dirty again/still. He should have been DQ'd like so many times before. I'll be glad when Shaheen retires, green flag hasn't even dropped and he's already screaming like an idiot.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

Love this! I grew up there. From my house i could see a hill climb mx track short track and halfmile. Needless to say im obsessed with race gas. 😀 Ralph rocks 💯

[@tedecker3792]

First raced scrambles at Sturgis in 1968. Scrambles track was at the base of the hillclimb. Raced short track, hillclimb and later motocross there as well.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

@tedecker3792 nice! Very fun town to grow up in with the rally and racing. That half mile at the fairgrounds was crazy fast!! I tore up our grass with a pw80 than moved to Colorado high desert and it was unbelievably fun to jump and trail ride. Raced supercross And motocross for 15 years and got paralyzed in 2012 and 2013 was the happiest I've been in my life after a reset and getting spiritual and really connected to nature and all! Life is wild like that! 👍🏻🤙🏻

[@tedecker3792]

@ my buddy and I were in Cycle World magazine November 68 issue. We are in the grandstand at the half mile.

Nice, Washington riders win all classes.

Not far from Koops simi indoor winter track at Spokane fairgrounds.

[@shawnbailey6084]

I had no idea this kind of racing existed

[@mikeskidmore6754]

TT racing has been around longer than Motocross. Check out the Peoria TT . Henry Wiles won the Peoria TT a still-record 14 consecutive years, surpassing the 13 in a row by Chris Carr, nicknamed "Prince of Peoria."

[@DickGoesonya]

You should see the jump at the Peoria top gear wicked jump into downhill left I think

[@dancalhoun7011]

Mees should Have been DQed for that incident but oh no he gets away with another cheat. Just like Daytona in 19 where he crashed and then another crash created a red flag, and somehow Mees was on the pole for a restart. People in the stands were howling about that.

[@darrellhall2687]

Dbag move by Mees

[@rodneycaupp5962]

You're the doushe bag . MEES had the inside Cleared, and blocking by 92, got him down

[@SuperMickey57]

@@rodneycaupp5962 You're either blind or stupid. He was nowhere near clear. He was halfway up to him, ran over his leg and took him out. mees is renown for his dirty riding, this was yet another example.

[@Walrus647]

Damn Mees!

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I thought they were building a new Flat Track in Sturgis last year but rain Delays kept if from being finished before Rally week? The racing looks intense. Lots of concrete barriers.. Rough in the dirt sections. Dirt on your tires would make the pavement slick. Some Dude cut Meese off going into a turn. Meese had nowhere to go. He ran over the rider who cut him off, but his air bag vest was inflated so I doubt it hurt him any much . My friend crashed with another rider in motocross the other guy got up and tried to take off, but my friends arm was caught in the other dudes rear spokes..

[@mikeskidmore6754]

OK I see they had a 1/2 Mile Race one week Previous in Sturgis .

[@tedecker3792]

Dirty racing has been a thing for over a hundred years. I learned from Jerry Cheney lol!

[@brianwinters4991]

They should have a bagger class !

[@The.Real.Timmii]

Mees should have been disqualified and penalized.

[@rcnelson]

Had I been in the Hills I surely would have gone to these races, but that's a very unusual layout for TT racing. Part dirt, part concrete? TT entails right-hand turns as well as the usual left-hand, but it appears there's only one on this track--a size constriction? The TT jump is also very mild and low (contrast Ascot) but again, maybe that's a size problem.

[@DickGoesonya]

That ascot jump wicked out downhill left isn't it partly blind jump from the takeoff.?

[@mick9371]

What’s with old mate standing in the middle of the track waving the green flags ?

[@torrycole6477]

I don’t know but he’s braver than me

[@SuperMickey57]

Flat track has a longstanding tradition of the flagman working on the track.

[@cliffbeckwith4019]

This is Super Moto on dirt track bikes

[@bradsanders6954]

Flattrack bikes have raced on pavement a lot, there was a whole series for it. The Superbikers were glorified flattrack bikes. Its not the first time. Watching guys go sideways on pavement? Why not, racing is racing. AFT trying something different is not a disaster. Sturgis enforcing a curfew and having to cancel heat races? That was a kind of disaster. To have a million drunks on Harleys in Sturgis for a week, but cant run a scheduled race past dark. A pussy move.

[@DickGoesonya]

Have a v twin 750 class Evil be proud

[@notforsale504]

bruh let the voice of flat track fuckin talk💯

[@bradsanders6954]

Mees? What can you say? Hes a long time professional, but couldnt tell there was no room to pass. Then he runs over the guy's head. It was a "racing incident". There is racing and then there is Mees. I get it he wants to win at all costs, sometimes you gotta admit your getting smoked and stop knocking people down.

[@chuckg6039]

Mees should have stopped and checked on the rider. Man gosh, he ran over someones head

[@CaddyRacer]

I think this is formerly known as Supermoto racing. Look it up!!!!

[@johnwilcox4078]

They called it Super TT a couple years ago in Atlanta.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

You're to young to know what your talking about Super boy. TT is what it was in the 60s at the TT track here in Ohio, HOME of MEES.

[@DickGoesonya]

You don't race Harley 750 in supermotard Evil Kin evil be proud Didn't Robbie just pass away?

[@CrisKG125]

Suspend Mees. 👎👎

[@bradleymorris8875]

Finally back to basic racing. If they had an over 50 class I’d build a bike.

[@bradsanders6954]

There are 75 year old guys racing flattrack, and older. Get the bike and go! Hospitals have MUCH better equipment now, emergency rooms arent like they used to be when I was racing. Getting run over at age 50 or 60 or 70 takes on a whole new meaning.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

See you at the track, Racer

[@martystalnaker1476]

Ralph needs to go away too!

[@SuperMickey57]

I second that! I was so happy when he didn't get renewed for Motocross coverage. At least I can watch it now un-muted.

[@ronkirk5099]

TT scrambles which is partly on asphalt? WTF! Not my idea of TT.

[@DickGoesonya]

You haven't seen the tracks with hot wheels banked corners Balls of steel.

[@Ericmo956]

So glad they protected the racers with concrete,racers need to make a stand and not race these courses

cringy behavior by mees, gross.

"American flat track" or as the rest of the world calls it, Supermoto/Motard.

[@siobhangear2866]

The US has supermoto, professional supermoto specialist Bronson Pearce is in the singles race and is acknowledged as a supermoto rider. This is the only mixed-surface race of the year. A track like the Springfield Mile is nothing like this.

[@allenhanford]

Not a fan of the paved/dirt course.

[@jackgittinger3695]

I could not agree more. This “race) is an insult to the history of GNC. So sad.

Mees had the inside clear. 92 came in and hit Mees. A Bad racing accident for sure

[@TheBluesking17]

This sport will NEVER grow until the AMA decides to give these guys tracks that let them hang it out and get sideways. This is incredibly BORING racing. It has been for years. The tracks usually have dirt that's fit for a sprint car, not motorcycles.

[@chuckg6039]

The sport has really declined over the years

Twins on a track like that is dangerous. Adventure bikes on a track like that is stupid. AMA Flat track is circling the drain.

[@bradsanders6954]

The "fans" of flattrack seem to want AFT to circle the drain. Wont be anybody promoting pro flattrack if AFT doesnt do it. Everybody, and I mean everybody said Baggers were stupid and would never work. Now its multi million dollar racing that fans love.
