X-Games Hillcross thread

[Scott]

I'm pretty jacked for the return of Hillcross.

I'll be following a couple of the guys that I've met along the way.

Troy Johnson said the qualifiers last week in Crested Butte were BRUTAL on machines. People (even BIG race teams) were leaving early because they ran out of extra parts.

I hope that Saturday isn't as costly on sleds, but still exciting.

There is a lot of big names in this on stupid crazy mod sleds and a bunch of great riders that are not big names. I bet This turns out interesting and lots of carnage along the way.

Anyone know the exact time hillcross will air tomorrow? I know it's on ABC pretty much all day.

I am really excited this is back in the x games. Boondocker put a picture of Keith Curtis' mod sled on their Facebook and the ez ryde skid looks like a prototype.

They should make em park the high dollar stuff and race the wide track IQs they are using for service sleds.

Said he got every holeshot, looking like Speedwerx is the real deal with the supercharger!eace:

Glad to see yamaha on the box

 

[carlc]

Speedwerx for the win!

 

[niner]

Which turbo was the Yamaha running?

 

[yamahajohnson220]

I think it's a midmount garret setup built by Troy Johnson @ Lincoln County Customs.

was surprised to see them have so much trouble with the corners but i can see 2 levels the cameras didn't have good angles on

Anyone know what happened to Kieth Curtis's sled? Looked it just shut down and he was messing his key switch or something.

 

[newmy1]

Key fell out

 

[Dirty Steve]

Ouch.

 

[Scott]

My TV recorded NOTHING.
I missed all of it.

How was Keith doing when his key feel out?

 

[NorthMNSledder]

He was in 2nd place in his heat if I remember correct.

My local TV station thought it was a good time to interrupt early in the program with local news. What happened with Felker?

 

[cacsrx1]

WhAt happened to Gavin Balls's sled? Looked like a lot of steam/smoke before it was drug off the course.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine. He about lost his lid!!

I believe Felker had a mechanical failure.
