That outside rail by tomac was a work of art! Being sucked into that star Yamaha seat from the g's blowing around Jett must have felt amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 making berms great again- go America
I was pretty surprised at the lack of people last season mentioning not just the severity of elis previous injury but the little to no time he had to rehab it before racing again playing a significant role in his lack of speed & usual aggression. Its one of those injuries where there's a fine line where pushing it just a tad to much can cause catastrophic damage rupturing everything all over. If you think about how much the role of being on your toes allowing the ankle to flex is esp in sx, that in & of itself must of been some serious mental stress for eli wondering if your going to hard or if its gunna tear again like before jumping through these rhythms. He clearly wasnt the same with a lot of people chopping it up to him being 2 old & jett 2 fast. I honestly wonder if it was even worth him riding last year or what his opinion on it would be. I think they underestimated the severity of the injury trying to rush it and then realized a few races in it wasn't gonna work. Idk im pretty hyped though to see a healthy, confident eli go up against jett this year because i really dont think last year was a fair matchup which is why hes back.
I agree he totally was not ready to race, but Eli’s mind was telling him yes you are Eli Tomac and are ready he wanted to be so bad he did not realize how bad it was until it did have time to finish healing and that busted up thumb helped give him that time. But then he was totally out of shape for riding. He had been mountain biking but was not Motocross ready. As he got more and more in shape ( actual podiumedon his second ride) being way out of shape. Even nations he was not as fit as he should have been but still was getting better
Lets hope Eli keeps this up because if he does he can definitely win the chip , it's all going to come down to his focus and intensity and his willingness to battle Sexton and Jett but there is no doubt he can do it . If one of those guys passes Eli than Eli needs to pass them back , fight fight fight .
It’s a good thing he raced last year. Yeah he didn’t win but it was huge part of his rehab. And he busted out at the end of the year. He is just as good now as he ever was. No limits now. He’s not going to retire at the top of his game either. I think he keeps going. Guy rides bike like a construction machine. Throttle on full rabbit 🐇 and controls power with clutch. Animal is only way to describe him and he’s going to be hard to beat.
Shout out Cole Davies! NZ represent! One thing I noticed ET3 does so well is getting the rear wheel to contact the ground as early as he can. After triple you show at the start, even though he OJ's, it's like he lands in a wheelie which makes the front come down softer and making the OJ less harsh. Also I forgot if it was San Diego or anaheim 1, after a wall jump he was the only one getting his back wheel to drive down the back side of the wall jump. So good
Absolutely jaw dropping night for Tomack! We’ve all been waiting for Eli to match up with the kid. Super bitchin race🤙 I will say tho.. I have never seen Eli gassed, catching his breath like he was at the end of his heat race and the main. Go back and rewatch😆Definitely see the difference 10 years makes! Still crazy amazing for Eli! Not too many people on earth could do that at that age, with that much intensity!
There’s nobody on the planet other than 1-3 guys could go like that at any age. I’m sure the heart rate was through the roof. Mine was just watching it!
Okay I watched, I was entertained. There's no way that sleeve would help with arm pump though. I pull up my sleeves riding and it ends up cutting off circulation
Funny thing to me is all the talk about Jett and the 25 bike but Eli had a brand-new Yamaha a couple of years ago and it was an even bigger change than the 24 - 25Honda. Don't recall any talk about Eli having to figure that bike out.
Pre loading the suspension on the step on step off. It’s similar to what street riders do to pick that front wheel up to do wheelies. Push down on the suspension and it rebounds to help it lift up
@Dirtjunkie8764I agree… one day my dads old apprentice who was a pro in the uk at the time came over to say hello and my dad said about arm pump and he said show me putting your gloves on so I did and he said to my dad get the scissors and cut off the strap that I did up way to tight, and it helped for a while though I found when I hit late 15/16 years old the arm pump was so intense I could t keep pace for the whole length of the race and it ruined me 😂 couldn’t even push the front break had to re learn how to ride the bike using my legs to grip and not my arms a few months later I found weed and women and the rest is history for me 😂
I've always pulled my sleeves up like that on the line since I was on 85s. Feel less constricted/more free and makes me feel like nothing is going to get in the way of the controls on the start.
Jetts mechanic was definitely swinging the pit board in the air intentionally right as Eli approached to make Eli flinch. Dirty racing, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a team and rider who are woke victims who call people racists just because fans don't worship Jett. Jetts and Roczens' comments about the moto industry being racist is like Raiders and their fans calling the opposing team and their fans racist for not supporting them.
@@Johnny_HopperJohnny request could you please do the Rocky mountain fantasy picks once a week that would be awesome ! Plus you would probably collect quite a few views I'm sure. Please request from dedicated longtime fan. 😊
Cole had great skills in the whoops but Ju Ju jumping was slightly faster. Eli is leaving his feet on the pegs a lot more, even in the tight bowl turns feet on the pegs rotate the bike with the power giving him a lot of exit corner speed and saving energy. It is amazing to watch. Most pro mountain biker ride clipped in so i wonder if he rides clips on the MTB and if that has helped.
The best quads all night was Jett jumping to the inside and gained every time he did it Once he settled for second Jett jumped to the outside as it was safer Tomac was very animated on the bike and really going for it but i think Jett has more room for improvement as he could keep up but didn't look as comfortable This is going to be a great season
I think.... Eli had a good pre-season "SX warm-up" racing Kenny in this years WSX. Great lead into the season. Jet.....Honda has a problem with the bike this year...before anything.
I know your not a *Vince* fan but you should've broken down *Benny Bloss* who claimed he got *"Friesed"* I disagree & thought it was legit pass taking him high. Also *Benny* took out *Prado* the turn before when he cut down early (Not on purpose) *Prado* wasn't whining. But you can call out *Vince* for not giving the right away to *Eli* & the leaders when he was a lapper
Maybe Eli's shorter sleeves are to keep his wrists dry. Nobody likes sweaty elastic cuffs on your jersey, on your wrists. 🤷🏻♂️ Arm pump is all mental 🤫
Ya I was waiting for him to explain the reasoning behind why short sleeves would help with arm pump especially when the majority of muscle that gets pumped is all within the part of the forearm that is covered. Arm pump is definitely physical not mental, riding outside your means letting the bike take you for a ride where you hold on for dear life. Def agree though feels better with no cuffs
Tomac was held up for probably 6 laps while the track was at its best for him. Plus friese. If tomac had the holeshot he probably would have won by 15 seconds
Jett could've pushed faster in the corner to get on mookie rear to carry more speed but by tge time he saw eli in tge apex it was too late since if jett went to take elis line to ripp into cookies inside, they'd both be down being theres no slowing down for eli at that point.
@ Jett didn’t take the line that tho nobody took it so it was his own fault not sure what you’re getting at? You can see when Eli hit it nobody went through it yet. The entire night nobody used it. Eli seen it. I believe we are in for a treat

The flag marshals neck watching Tomac rail that sand section😂 imagine that POV
@@tylerhoffman3041 that dude was taking in a sight.
I love the breakdown videos, both of the track conditions and the racing technique.
We need some more C class enduro videos TBT!

Cody!!! Let’s go baby.
It’s me and you this year!

nobody mentioned that tomac came from deep mid pack off the start he ate through everybody!
Tomac was literally wide open before he was hitting the turn 🤯
Enjoying these breakdowns, thanks brother ! That over jump on the kawi looked painful lol
I think Tomacs arms were spent. You can see his right arm twitching in the post race interview
Absolutely jaw dropping night for Tomack! We’ve all been waiting for Eli to match up with the kid. Super bitchin race🤙

McGrath used to cut the sleeves about 4-5” shorter on his jerseys for arm pump reasons.
The shorter sleeve helps a lot with arm pump. I used to cut my jerseys just below the elbow for desert races to keep better circulation going on
How would shorter sleeves make any difference? It’s not like the jersey is tight at all.

I always cut my cuffs. Couldn't stand stuff tight on my arms
Did you all see Jett’s mechanic try to distract Eli on the last lap with pit board?
He didn't do that. They almost have to fight to be able to show their board. Eli won't get distracted by a plastic board
Obviously he didn’t get distracted, you can’t deny the huge wave of the board as Eli approached. Just watch the last lap….
The pit board shit has to be addressed. Ruined Shimodas championship fight
@@stevesmith756Yeah, sad...

Cole is good one to watch
That is Ty not???
That Ty not is!!
Thx u 😂 Homer Simpson moment
“The predator on his butt”! “Watch how fast he sucks up Jett”😳😳😂
He gained a second on Malcolm in two straights that’s crazy. Because Malcolm did NOTHING wrong himself he kept his gap on Jett. 😂
5:57 That wasn't a lapper that was Ryder DiFrancesco, for position.
Not marchbank.. masterpool
Homer moment
Doh
Now he's healthy and he's tired of hearing that boy's voice like I am that damn Australian accent makes you want to puke go Eli
@@Johnny_Hopperi digress

Where’s all my two strokes at YYAAATT!!
Tomac did a recent interview stating... "My bike isn't fast enough" 😅
Malcom is riding quick, but when will his next slam be?

Would “ankle savers” help them drive the bike down to preload
I think....
Eli had a good pre-season "SX warm-up" racing Kenny in this years WSX. Great lead into the season. Jet.....Honda has a problem with the bike this year...before anything.
It still amazes me how anyone beating Lawrence is like the best achievement
Goes to show how good he actually is
Fair play to Tomac
Smoking breakdown dude!!

Was anyone still sitting down while Tomac goes around Jett in the sand?
i wasnt
Tomas laying it all out this season for a reason. He’s prolly not coming back for outdoors. Let her eat Tmac
Jett starts winning its over. Danger boy needs to get his shit together 😅
haiden needs to work on starts
@@doglover136_dude he got plenty of hole shot last season. Do you really think he's not practicing his starts already?! You guys live in lalaland
@ in outdoors yes, the start is deeper and the yamaha loves that, in sx, it’s not ripped deep, and he’s grown and maybe some settings are off
Nah Tomac shirt went through the dryer and shrunk
Maybe Eli's shorter sleeves are to keep his wrists dry. Nobody likes sweaty elastic cuffs on your jersey, on your wrists. 🤷🏻♂️

Helps me with mine, they always get pulled back and choke my lower forearm so I've been cutting the since I was 16.
Still trying to get my head around the fact theres a 9 whoop rule in place... at first i thought it was a sad joke
When is Ducati going to get in the mix?
Go eat some cookies, then give Cooksy a call, he still can't understand why you hate him so bad
Maybe ET went Vegan like Dylan Ferrandis? or like when Alex Honnold the only person to free solo climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park
Johnny, what does vibrate like a sieve actually mean? Are you screwing up your cliche’s ? Now if something was leaking I’d understand.
Tomac hit the whoops way better I don’t get it
Make whoops great again......
Gotta learn how to pronounce "Juju", is name is Julien, not Joolien or Jewlien. The U is like in the world Lune.
Tomac went around because jet was setting up to do a lenz tear off!! Don’t think he knew he was so close
🇳🇿
In the next video johnny going to discredit Eli due to the paddle tire
I was wondering if Cooper Web was jacket on or jack it off
Oh come on!! 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe his arm pump was as hard as morning wood? 😂
Jett picked a bad line and was caught up with mookie. It’s not like ET was going beast mode. Jett later missed a rhythm section and called it a night…
Tomac was held up for probably 6 laps while the track was at its best for him. Plus friese. If tomac had the holeshot he probably would have won by 15 seconds
Nothing but copium, Jett was not held up by mookie at all.

@@bconmoto yeah there was over a 2 bike gap between them so it’s not like it slowed him down. Tomac just said hold my beer watch this kids 🤣
jetts bike aint there yet , he was hangin with eli at 80 %
