Deff want to hear more from the mechanics. This was awesome

[@waidrepik2895]

That's a different point of view of the race. Very entertaining. Should interview more mechanics. Great job

[@Adubz819]

Kinda pissed he stopped his question. What’s wrong with bringing up negatives? It’s good to hear their thoughts.

[@danarrington2224]

They need to allow the teams to tech-in 2 bikes for mudders.

[@singletrack4614]

The only “fun” thing about days like that, is bull shitting with your buddies years later about how awful it was 😂

[@paulbadenhop2865]

That is exactly what me and my buddies said. It SUCKED but down the road we’ll have something to joke about. It was horrible there.

[@iteleski2]

San Fran should be off the list. Glad it mixed up the standings some but sounded like a nightmare. I predict there will be another mudder.

[@CaddyJim]

The washing was nonsense they had a narrow fenced-in area they had to travel back to the truck they could have somebody pressure wash that after the race.

[@lunaod1]

Went to MMI with Jelly and Colter awesome dudes!! Keep it up!

[@JuanM759]

SF was an awesome venue FOR THE FAN’S. You know, the people who support the riders and factories by buying gear and motorcycles. I hope it stays on the schedule. I keep hearing all this hate about it. Now the poor baby mechanics are whining. When it’s a nice evening it’s a great place to watch the worlds best. When it rains it’s still not that bad. Suck it up!

[@theRooster722]

I enjoyed the hell out of that race, I don't get all the whining either.

[@AzTurboMini]

That's what you got from this video? It has nothing to do about the rain. It's because of the venue and how poorly it was executed. 🤦

[@JuanM759]

That’s your opinion and perception brother and you’re entitled to it. That was my opinion and my perception. Nothing to put your hand in your head about.

[@fasbiks4me]

Fan fest was horrible with All of the security to go back and forth and the distance between the two areas.

[@joel387ktm]

Nothing will compare to daytona 08 needed a damn jet ski to get around the track

[@SLAYJUCE]

Steve you bin workin out bro

[@pumkinbreath]

A real grinder.

[@hung8969]

I love LOVE mud races. But I do agree this needs to be fixed. You shouldn’t have a open stadium for indoor racing. Kinda defeats the purpose

[@merdith6]

The 2nd race should be in Houston. California is too greedy with the races. Houston has been on the schedule forever.

[@ladylog5470]

That’s because more then half the industry comes from cali, they can’t do football stadiums till after football season is over and Anaheim rents the stadium to feld for the whole month makin it very affordable for feld to have 2-3 races at Anaheim and 2 monster jam events. If it was as simple as just choosing a location they wouldn’t be having races in open stadiums in the middle of winter. We’re honestly lucky any of these stadiums let us build dirtbike tracks cuz they’re r plenty of newer stadiums that won’t let near their fresh grass

[@BadandBoochii]

California is just a massive state

[@barry888]

A friend of mine flew from the uk to San Fran with his kids for the race , he said that San Fran was the dirtiest most dangerous city he had ever been to , needles and sh1tt all over the floor, the people he met were nice and kept apologising for the city. I was thinking of doing this next year , not now

[@gfynnetwork5626]

⁠@@barry888yea I’m from cali you gotta avoid San Francisco. Your best option by far is San Diego.

[@lawrencefranck9417]

Race one, drive 1/2 way across the country, then back for race 3&4. Doesn’t work.

[@dogsofmotowes]

Let me tell you a story about Estadio Olympico.

[@RivalPredator]

We need a mud race, just organised better

[@keelangerken5154]

San Francisco is a shithole, Feld really needs to stop giving that area their business.

[@ricericebaby_1660]

Don’t get mud on the streets but screw the homeless ppl living in the streets. Perfect California mentality.

[@mattfillman1182]

I think it is weird having an European guy announcing the races. What happened to Weege!?

[@nvmcrider8475]

Take this race off of the schedule, there has to be another stadium in NorCal that they could use.

[@Yoooo117]

I love the history of the race being in SF but I completely agree. Truly just a nightmare.

[@hung8969]

Tbh not close. It’s not stadium size it’s parking and other sports. It should be moved to end of season, or another state since they have 3

[@ladylog5470]

We have to stick to baseball stadiums till football is over. They plan these things a year or 2 in advance and there is no knowing what football stadiums will be available in January. Maybe if there is a baseball stadium in Arizona or Nevada we could use it would work but all the stadiums people mention r indoor football stadiums which will never be available in January. Also every other sport is a lot bigger then dirtbike racing so we don’t really have alotta leverage in these things. Honestly lucky any stadium lets us truck in tons of dirt onto there pristine fields

[@jameshinton429]

One or two of these a year keep it interesting. Stop whining guys. We ride dirt bikes for shit’s sake. Races like that are what set this sport apart. Sack up.

[@AzTurboMini]

That's what you got from this video? It has nothing to do about the rain/mud. It's because of the venue and how poorly it was executed. 🤦

[@rmxrider20032000]

He is entitled to his opinion too. Keep smacking your head, it's working.

[@djc7039]

The City Of SF wanted the bikes washed before they left the stadium so they wouldn't get dirt in the Feces on the street

[@brap10151]

Lol so you never have an issues using a pitboard in an outdoor motocross race as they are always covered. But in a supercross race the mechanics are standing out in the pouring rain not able to use pitboards.. what a joke

[@justindancer6613]

Pulpmx are definitely not Tomac guys. Too many examples to list.

[@LBrawn]

mud-o-cross is part of motocross, what a bunch of crybaby's

[@ladylog5470]

Maybe it’s just social media making it more apparent but over the last 3-4 years the amount of crybaby’s in the comment sections complaining abt mud races, take outs, boring races, etc…. I thought the fans of this sport were tough blue collar workers but turns out it’s just a bunch of pssys who complain abt everything

[@jameshinton429]

Amen
