I like the new rules! Keeps things flowing!
This said the actual "NO Stop" rule isnt being completely respected, yes no one balances in front of rock face for 10 mins but some riders do stop for a split second whilst they crank it up and drop the clutch... I think thats fine.
There is the problem of different observers having the different views on whats actually stopping and whats not...the video that the FIM clearly stated that the front wheel has be in a forward moving motion at all times...
The exit of of section seven had 2 big rocks, (not sure in dry conditions) but on the Sunday in the wet, nobody was getting over them for a clean without stopping (one wheel on each rock) for half a second or whatever...the observer was fine it.
The observer of section 12 on the other hand was harsh as! He wasnt having none of it, nobody managed to get up the 2 staggered steps on lap 1...Raga managed to get up for a 1 on lap 2, obviously the crowd cheered but when then when everyone realised that the observer had given another mark to a 5 the crowd went mental! Best bit of the trial. Bou followed and got a 1 too.
Did anyone see section 12 on Lap 3?
