I loved Starwest, especially when it was set up to be technical. It was great to watch McGrath there, and to be on the track with him at the same time. There's no view of him like the view from another motorcycle on the same track, even though it's a very brief view! Another rider I thought was impressive there was David Pingree, he used to blast these deep whoops so hard. Every lap I had to wonder if he was going to rip a foot off the peg and break his neck.
My prediction is that nobody will crash in this jump-off. Why does everybody put the words "jump-off" in quotes? Strange. Anyway, it's a pretty close match-up, and I'm sure they'll both push it to the limit.
I've always thought it would be cool to jump an entire motocross or supercross track while people were riding on it, jumping triples etc.
