Thank you 🙏🏼 Was good to be over racing you guys 👊🏽 had a blast. Such a cool class to be apart of, see you at grands

[@SavageAudits]

Damn! Seeing Barry lose a race because he went for style on the last jump, was crazy! Vanity kills! Excellent video! 👍

[@INSTINCT1979]

Great coverage as always

[@Joner1]

Thank you for making and for sharing the video. This was a really good video...even without the always appreciated POV angles. Your BTS take and details about each of the races/rounds was very interesting. That track was just a near complete nightmare with those slippery turns. At least you went down with some sideway sliding style during that first moto. BIG congrats on "both" of your wins(?!?) and podium placings. If you play you pay....no points for stylish finishes. That one inch had to really ouch. ...and as almost always...there will be other races to come. Best of luck with everything coming up for you and the family during the summer months on the road. I hope that you all have safe travels and make many great memories. Willow is getting so big and growing up so fast. Please know that all of your time and many efforts are always GREATLY appreciated! Now back to gates, weights and sprints. ...and never forget to have some real fun jumping some of those bikes too. Fly Nobles fly! ..... 😃😃😃

As a former Racer and also a former asphalt seal coater it’s kinda bitter sweet to see this happening I know that the only way to prevent those turns from crumbling apart is to maintain them with sealer but I know how slick sealer gets when it rains. With as steep as those burms are that pavement would disintegrate with out maintaining them which would cause tracks to have to repave them every few years. Which would be crazy expensive. If it were me I would seal coat the turns but add coarse sand or super fine gravel to the top to keep traction but also maintain the asphalt it can be done just have to know the proper way to do it. Not saying I’m an expert by any means but we use to add extra sand to our sealer on certain jobs to improve traction so I know it can be done. I’d say talk to your tracks and your seal coating company and come up with a game plan to get the best of both worlds because it absolutely can be done.

Keep it up Barry!

[@Asanhokcrook]

Always a movie on these race weekends. Lets go!!! Thanks for sharing

[@Bloods_edits382.]

Just not your day today Barry love the vids keep the great work

[@charlesgalea69]

Thanks for the video from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@RDEnduro]

It looked like someone lite a fire under Riddel's butt on that second straight away but I was still suprised he caught you, but really more happy noone got any needless injuries on that slick turn.

[@Kingstoncroes]

The day one main plan worked out perfect! Never seen someone take out everybody without even touching them😂

[@barrynobles95]

Haha Jeff slid out

[@herbwhitmore4482]

Nice slid job Barry !

[@mackhankins]

Nashville was crazy. I told my son just avoid wiping out in the turns and we'll make mains. Godo racing though.

[@barrynobles95]

Haha that’s it!

[@williamazzarello4447]

Brick paver turns like Richmond bmx

[@BillyGUnderdogracing]

I totally agree with you Barry about sealing the turns. I went down last year (2023) in turn 1 while leading my race, injured my shoulder which ended my weekend. If the tracks want to seal the turns they should do it at least 3-4 weeks before a Nationals.

[@ttocsrolyat]

Nashville sealed their turns May 1st (facebook post saying they need to dry).. 3 weeks before the national.. so that's not going to work.

[@kimoarmstrong3519]

I'd like to see you ride dirt jumps in the off season. Maybe on a steel bike, lol!

[@barrynobles95]

I ride dirt jumps all season.

[@bretzky9261]

Dude spiked the ball at the 1 yard line!

[@travissapp4961]

Fire 🔥

[@Anax100]

worth it

[@JayDeeTee]

I would say coating leads to noticeably more crashes and potential injuries. So price to maintain a track cannot be compensated on the riders back. You are invited to race in Hamburg! We will not coat it for sure👍 and there will be a lot of fans there too.

[@michelschoneb.3377]

👌👍

[@danielcohen6894]

Hawkesbury BMX club in NSW sealed their 1st berm & it was unrideable in the wet at the last state round. I pulled out of the last race due to safety concerns & got disqualified for the whole day. Superclass final 5 cashed on the 1st berm 3 finished the race. Disgusting. Auscycling should be disgraced that they let this happen.

[@clintshepard2383]

Is sealing a turn (berm?) like laying down asphalt or something over turns/berms that were dirt?

[@williamlight7489]

So Come to Richmond BMX and race our Flat Pedal Pro/AM. We don't seal our turns, as they are pavered like in Europe.

[@marlonmendes1954]

👊

[@Altie8]

noice

[@HofKaprizov]

They sealed our turns 20 minutes before our practice started yesterday and kids were sliding out like crazy during racing. It was ridiculous and they only do it right before a race

[@Hat-san]

This is my home track and I cannot for the life of me understand why you would seal an asphalt berm.

[@sparkplug_bmx]

oof thank gosh you did not get hurt that bad for you clinics

[@CKilger12]

See you in Raleigh in a couple weeks

[@barrynobles95]

Looking forward to it

[@shawnbeban4101]

Petroleum products on a racing surface with moisture? Makes sense to me. SMH

[@billteager3618]

Sorry everyone had to deal with that.

[@roddas26]

Nice tables for a 20yr old 😂

[@barrynobles95]

😜

[@rhettcorbett3346]

I would prefer tracks to be all dirt. Like the old days.

[@drschurch1]

Come race in Morristown TN. We give out that old school vibe.

[@kevinengle4831]

Come back to indiana tracks

[@lukkashoop8850]

I didn’t do very good I crashed hard

[@sparkplug_bmx]

and that track is not the best i went there once and it did not go so well i fell and there was a little hole and i fell then the 2nd round trying my best then i tried to cut Infront of then i slid out i was so upset caz it takes pretty long time to get there

[@amberrodman1159]

Frist

[@bermchasin]

good nashville museum

[@plang42]

What do you expect when everyone one is running tyres that are slicks. Also, tarmac is useless in the wet. Tyres with all weather grip should be mandated. Also, all berms should have all weather grip, such as textured concrete, bitumen with far rougher surface OR heavens forbin a dirt berm. BMX isn't nascar , BMX can be raced in ALL weather conditions!

[@JohnLinfield]

I also noticed that you slid out, that most of the other racers didn't. Also, if you don't want tracks to seal their turns, how about you pony up the money to have the tracks replace their asphalt turns every couple of years because they have cracked and broken down.

[@Anax100]

You didn't see like 30 riders go down during various motos? OK...

[@JohnLinfield]

First of all, most tracks around the country run on very limited budgets maintained by volunteers. When tracks decide to pave turns, it is out of trying to maintain a track with limited resources, both monetary and personal. And to preserve the investment of paved turns from cracking and disintegration, you have to seal asphalt. People have their asphalt driveways sealed all the time. So, shame on you for criticizing tracks for not "adapting" to you. Here's an idea, why don't you do what racers did in the past, and adapt to the track? How about get different tires? You, other racers, and track operators are all going to have to adapt to climate change. If you are unable to deal with this fact, maybe do something else. By the way, I race and have volunteered at our local track.

[@barrynobles95]

👍🏼 you are obviously well educated on the topic.

[@Anax100]

that's the way, just ignore rider input /s
