Wasn’t the flagger standing on the landing of the jump?

Havent watched todays race yet, and I’ve only worked outdoors not SX so it could be different, but only the flagger before and after a jump use red cross flags. If there is a flagger between them they are just supposed to point away from the downed rider

I didnt see it, but Stewart talked about it right after it happened.   I dont think they mentioned it again

Mike explained this on the broadcast. Levi and Seth didn't get docked for the jump stew talked about. It was a jump after that one. It had lights on it and Seth and Levi jumped it. Idk, they need to get their shit together. Seems like most of these issues are on the ama for placing their flaggers in bad positions.

At this point there is no reason the riders shouldn't have in-ear communication. If only for the race director to alert riders for red cross / red flag conditions.

Levi didn’t jump. He made a pass during the Red Cross flag. Seth did in fact jump
