It won't be any surprise if he makes it into "Young Guns", but I doubt he'll win. I'm hoping Becky will get it (If for some reason FELD looks down on her AGAIN).

...now I know why Brianna Mahon didn't go for it in Houston. Another thing I forgot to mention, by landing the backflip, Matt Pagliarulo would've been considered the Freestyle WINNER in Oakland...had it not been for Ryan Anderson.

A lot of surprising things happened this weekend in terms of stadiums: In Houston, Colton Eichelberger pulled off one of, if not the craziest freestyle ever performed at NRG Stadium. Sure, it wasn't a 40, but 38 seems fair. In San Diego, nobody dared touched the mustang on one of the ramps, but Charlie Pauken barely missed it. Not to mention he got the Double Down. In Jacksonville, JR McNeil decided to bring back the blue Razin' Kane body, most of the field got at least a 30 in Freestyle on both shows, and Rosalee Ramer went for her first backflip outside of the WF, but failed despite coming so close to landing it. In Oakland, one of the tours ended with Ryan Anderson becoming the series champion. Like Zonar mentioned, Matt Pagliarulo went for his first ever backflip, which was the most unexpected moment of the night and the 4th driver that nobody expected to do one. Nonetheless, 2nd weekend in a row where all stadium shows were awesome. The fact that there will only be one next weekend has me amazed at how fast this month is going, and how it's already almost time to start preparing for the WF.

Not to mention Dustin Brown has also been behind the wheel of Dragon some times this year, even getting a few victories out of it. Both deserve a berth in my opinion, but the question is; which one of them will get Dragon since Scott hasn't been active this year?

Is it me, or did the host of Houston literally read through us yapping about Colton's insane run? Look what he put at the event notes: "Linsey Weenk and Lucas Oil Crusader continues to lead the FS1 East Championship series, even though he lost to Grave Digger in the final round of racing! And, Colton Eichelberger in Max-D put on a freestyle clinic and had 55,000+ fans ON THEIR FEET! Don’t be surprised if he is nominated for freestyle of the year!"

Who ever thought that this guy would go for another backflip after two years ago...only to get the exact same result.

As long as he didn't wreck that tonight, I'm all in.

Speaking of Marc, his theme hasn't been playing whenever he goes out for FS recently. Why is that?

Oakland has me anticipated and nervous at the same time tonight, mainly because it's the last show for FS1 West. If Ryan Anderson wins, that's a berth wasted since we all know he's going to the WF no matter what happens. If Coty Saucier wins, it'll be the third time he's competing in the WF, but also a possible waste of a berth. If Carl Van Horn wins, it'll be the first time in 4 years that he competes in the WF. ....you clearly know who I'm rooting for.

Very good! Baltimore 2015 is what I consider to be the BEST track to practice all three moves, so kudos to you!

And to think that it's only February...I'm gonna call it and say one of the drivers is gonna make it a 5th at the WF this year the same way Mikey almost did last year.

I saw someone else do this, and it's been a while since someone last did one, so I might as well give this a shot myself. Reverse Stoppie: This is a trick in which you must hit the brakes at the perfect time, otherwise your truck will flip onto its hood very easily. If you hit a small ramp and end up going on the front two tires, go into reverse as quick as possible. Then, VERY LIGHTLY tap the throttle to make your truck drive backwards while on the front two tires. If you know you're going to hit the ramp behind you again, be extra careful while doing so. Off-the-Ramp Wheelie: It's a name I came up with for a special kind of wheelie. No, not the kind that Colton Eichelberger occasionally does in arenas, but a different kind. When in an arena or a stadium, slowly drive up a flat ramp, and stop in the middle of the ramp. Go into reverse, and hit the throttle lightly. Your truck will go airborne, which is how it's supposed to work. If not, the ramp may be too flat or too small. DO NOT go full throttle when driving off the ramp. This will cause your truck to flip onto its hood. Instead, hit the throttle lightly off the ramp, and right when the back two tires hit the floor, hit the brakes and go back into drive as quickly as possible. Drive at full throttle to pull off a wheelie in a different kind of way than others. Both tricks can make for great wow moments in fun runs, and in an arena fun run, can potentially score you a good amount of points in wheelies or freestyle.

This may actually be the first weekend of the year where out of all of the stadium shows, NONE were a disappointment. In Indianapolis, more than half of the field got at least a 30 in Freestyle, with Brianna Mahon coming so close to her first stadium win and Chuck Werner doing a corkscrew. In Houston, Marc McDonald finally beat out Adam Anderson in the Championship Race, and Freestyle saw the first tie breaker of the year where an official had to make a decision as to who was the rightful winner. In Anaheim, Carl Van Horn made a comeback in Freestyle by winning it after losing in the Championship Race. In Minneapolis, most of the field did relatively well in Freestyle, with Matt Buyten having a strong run for his first time there.

Chuck's way of saying, "You thought your so-called "corkscrew" was unique to you, McQueen?" It feels so relieving to me to hear that one of my favorite drivers, as well as one of my favorite trucks, is finally going all out every weekend and try to match up with the kings of the field. Is it me, or is she starting to become the Scott Buetow of the female drivers?

That....that is just beautiful.

I just recently used a breakable Max-D in the Max-D 2016 pack found here: Problem is, whenever I break a tire, instead of it coming off, it just becomes dislocated and spins like crazy. How do I fix it so that the tires are able to break off?

When I saw the thumbnail to his winning run: I just stopped. I stared at it for a few seconds in utter shock. I am also confused as to why nobody brought this up yet, but Jim Creten had some guts last night; he started his run with a BACKFLIP.

What I mean is that instead of bringing in the usual crew to Toronto (Tom Meents, Jim Koehler, Candice Jolly etc.), they give us a lineup that is completely different, and most of the lineup is competitors that may be able to do great in arenas, but really don't stand a chance against some of the other competitors in there, such as Ryan Anderson, Coty Saucier, Carl Van Horn and Mike Vaters II. I mean yeah there is the wheelie competition, but let's be honest; with a track like that, do you really think ANY OF THEM would be able to truly impress?

This year's gonna suck is right....lineup filled to the brim with rookies + crappy track = a Toronto show that will guarantee more than half of the crowd going this year may never go again.

Looking at Neil's run last night, I have to ask; do they no longer have fireworks at the end of the last guy's run?

OK, so after finding the input and changing the rear steer to Q and E like you did (I felt that would be the easiest way), the things that normally happen when you press Q and E occur whenever I hold down either button. Which commands do I have to change to resolve this issue?

Found Mikey's winning run. The first half is meh, but the second half........DEAR GOD.

I recently re-downloaded Rigs of Rods 0.37 for my Windows 10 laptop that I got for Christmas. However, whenever I hold on to F2 while turning, the brightness of my screen is lowered instead of the rear steer activating, and when I hold on to F1 while turning, nothing happens. What can I do to fix this issue?

YOU. ARE. THE. BEST.
