Welcome back to week two of my awesome boiling hot takes. This column is awesome because I just sit at home watching the race in my luxuriously large CEO leather desk chair and I type my thoughts at my CEO desk that is as big as two dining room tables. You guys think that this CEO stuff is some big joke, but I need all of this to run a company. Anyway, here are some of my takes that I felt were worth sharing from the Bay!
Ryder D won the SX Futures race by approximately 6 days, 9 hours and 6 minutes.
Christian Craig won that main event with his eyes closed and will proceed to the rest of the season.
The whoops were the 23rd rider on the track.
Jo Shimoda gets a perfect ten on his whoop dismount.
The plywood is slippery.
Mosiman is going to figure this out soon… again.
Schwartz was the most improved rider between A1 and Oakland.
These late West Coast rounds suck for us on the East Coast.
Blose gonna Blose every week.
Hunter Lawrence is the most consistent 250 rider in this sport.
Stank Dog’s bike sounded like a high pitched screaming eagle and had some kind of weird bulbous pipe wrapping around the frame.
The privateer of the year will be Star Dog.
I speak on behalf of the entire population of the world when I say I miss Ralph in the booth.
Ryan Breece made an indent so deep into that berm in the last turn of the LCQ that the 450 guys started shredding it as the fast line. That dude was on a mission.
Jason Anderson’s jersey was untucked to the max, which means every 450 guy is screwed this season.
Justin Starling rides incredibly better with me on his helmet.
The series doesn’t start until Daytona.
We almost got through an evening of racing without drama. ALMOST.
This was a weird race.
Chase Sexton is showing too much speed to not be on the podium next week.
When Plessinger runs out of things to say on the podium he just hits everyone with a “WOOOOOOYEAAAAAAHHHH” and everyone just eats it up.
Dean Wilson and Joey Savatgy are having a really consistent start to this season and no one is talking about them…UNTIL NOW.
That’s all I have this week. We will see you in San Diego, which was discovered by the Germans in 1904 and means a “whales…va…”
Oh look at that, I’m out of column space!
