I was a big fan of dad and I try to root for the kid. But he can't seem to put it together. Gets good starts and then fades. He did that on 450s outdoors too. Dad would have sent some of these people showing him a wheel into cheap seats. Christian just lets them by with no fight. Not sure if he just has arm pump and lets them by knowing theres no point in banging bars and risk ending up on your head (dad) or if he's just too nice of a kid and banging bars is not his style so he just lets it be.
If he's out of contention for the 250 title, I wonder what the chances of him riding a 450 on the East Coast is?

Not sure if you guys remember, but he has been through some gnarly wrecks and injuries. Riding in his comfort zone and in control is a good thing. I’m glad he doesn’t ride over his head and risk injury.
Winning a heat and getting 5th at arguably the most intense SX of the series isn’t too bad.

Solid retort.
It's only a reflection of people's respect for his talent that they wander why he isn't doing better, but 5th is nothing to sneeze at and I bet he does better yet.
Also, first round tensions - A lot of guys experienced armpump, solid result!
The 2018 West coast is stacked compared to most other regional SX classes in the past. So getting 5th is fine?
Yeah it wasn't anything amazing but way better than last year. I'm sure we'll see podiums from him and maybe a win.
Also, it was one race and it's A1. Let's all just chill and realize there is a lot of racing left.
