watching Deegan last weekend in his heat race in Detroit was unreal. His corner speed before the whoops was noticeably faster than every other rider

Slo mo technique. They are all so good, guess thats what makes them pros 😅. Love the fast raw shots too.

What makes you one of the best is if you are anywhere on the track and someone takes a picture and you have the perfect body position on the bike in full control as if you are not even moving at all but still going crazy fast.  

Sometimes they take pics in action photos smearing the colors across the page like they did when RacerX Illustrated came out or in other magazines like Dirt Rider or Motocross Action.

Chase and Jett look pretty well matched except Jett got a better drive out of the corner by first compressing his forks and then doing a brake slide which should have looked crazy but was almost unnoticeable since he used proper form keeping his foot forward.  He didn’t have to deal with the rut and got a better line out as opposed to Chase who stuck his foot out late and then had to slow, got hung up with rough dirt, and then had to dab his boot and couldn’t exit with the same pace and forward pitch.

Around 1:49 Chase did a good job pre-jumping to soak up the speed with his legs crouching to stay low as opposed to Jett working the bike a little more with taking his foot off the peg to let the bike do the work staying low and then moving his body more forward and downward over the front of the bike to get back on the ground sooner like he did on most jumps. 

It was a rough track and in slo-mo you can see some riders getting headshake.  Anstie was in total control in the whoops and Anderson has a good ability to jump at angles.  Webb looked slower in the turn but it was a tighter path inside to save time.

At-speed and then slow lets you see how much is going on with each hand on the controls, the feet positioning, each wheel spinning, the suspension, body movements.  Pure genius artwork.
