Tracks can be built a little safer. I have mentioned it before about the videos of a lot of west coast tracks, and the design of the jumps. Way safer than two jumps built, and if you case the second your over the bars.
I personally think Marvern is probably the closest track to what I am talking about. The way the landings are designed you can jump half way, or all the way over them. It is a fun track, has some speed, and yet is pretty safe. Probably why it is one of my favorite tracks also.
New Vienna in SW Ohio, nice long track, but probably way too fast. Nothing technical, but fast. I usually like a faster less technical track, but have to agree with Hershey, a 4th gear tapped double or table top is probably not the smartest thing to have.
CTMX.....seems like every time I am there, seems they have a crash in the whoops. Not there tracks should not have whoops, but really why does an outdoor MX track need a straight away full of whoops?
People will always continue to ride. I know one thing, we DO NOT want the government to get involved in the sport. So it is up to riders, manufactures, sanctioning bodies, promoters, and track owners to all kind of do their part to try and keep the sport happy. But as a track owner if some experienced riders are saying, you know.....this jump is just not right, or I would suggest this, they should not be so closed minded to listening to their comments. And there are some that will look at you and say, you don't like it, don't come back.
