I think Tim Ferry broke his leg doing a finish line trick. Not a good precedent.

Also, by the end of the race the ruts may hinder throwing of said fat whips.

Is this legitimately something you people occupy your brain with? A rider not celebrating their win the way you want them to? Whips are cool, but damn, this is off season level bitching...

This thread is a total victim of the moment. Sexton gets his first win and doesn’t do a massive whip and this thread is in shambles. Kenny always whips, or slaps the fender or something, Cooper finger blasted Kenny over the finish or whips, Marv does heel clickers (so does Breece if he makes it into the main Grinning ) Tomac will typically throw a whip across the finish line…

Y’all need to relax.

Trying to find Grant Langstons last lap celebrations at Houston SX when he swapped out and crashed doing a one hander on the last lap. Cost him his first SX win, he never made that mistake again. Cool
I was at that race and remember thinking how bad that sucked and wondering if he would ever win again lol. Good thing he got his stuff together and had many more wins.

Grant said on the wts the jump had a kicker or ? And hardly anyone was doing it. That’s why he crashed. That was pretty funny tho I remember that one. Mike Brown did the same thing in 92 on a peak bike. He had the front end wash out.

Where did the current winning celebration come from? Odd trend of fist pumping ala Jeff Ward 1990 Atlanta SX.

No a thosand times. Only Pastrana can make a heel clicker look cool.

I believe even Stefan Everts did something like that, falling when waving to the crowd…

I remember Dowd doing half heel clickers on the last lap of the race that clinched the 125 sx title for him . He got his legs up there but his heels didn't come close to clicking lol.

RJ (Rick Johson) was the coolest with his last lap celebrations. I would like to see more of that!

Maybe the track crew could role out a fmx ramp on the last lap. Best trick gets a points multiplier.

I remember that GL crash too. Mike Brown in his early PC days crashed out of a heat race (if I remember right) after a styling move gone wrong.

That look over at the crowd got me going. Nothing too fancy, just let the people know you’re confident.
