Hi Steemers,

So as you know, or maybe not, this years Red Bull Straight Rhythm is a 100% 2-Stroke only deal! Yup, no 4-Bangers allowed, only pure brappage this time haha. To honor this they have brought in renowned track builder Jason Baker to make sure this years track is on point. He has form with this race and knows exactly how to tweak the 2018 track to be one of the best ever. Luckily we can get a glimpse into what goes into making not just a normal Supercross track but a one of a kind Straight Rhythm.

These tracks are completely unique each year and it's amazing how taking corners out of the mix it creates a pure rhythm track. There are a million ways you can hit this, the deal breaker is you need to keep your wheels on the floor for the most amount of time! Everyone loves a big jump but when you are in the air you are slowing down... Your wheels are just spinning...

The only way to beat this track is to minimise your airtime and make sure you put the traction down and grip it! Not easy on a course that is made of jumps :) hahaha! Bring it on!
