yamaha7654 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Was at this race, and watched Windham on a 125 school everybody, including 250's Is it just me, or are the old tracks way more technical than they are now ? One of the key jumps was a corner, quad, corner, camelback . Edited November 19, 2020 by yamaha7654 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mxaniac My Rides (8) Posted November 20, 2020 I didn't watch, but in the 80s and early 90s the SX tracks were really gnarly. The jumps are bigger now, but everything is smooth between them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamaha7654 Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Thats what i thought too. I was at that race on the starting line and doing a pit board, ...and standing beside McGraths mechanic Skip Norfolk. The track didnt seem very smooth flowing. Tight corners, hit the gas and launch. Edited November 21, 2020 by yamaha7654 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
