I managed to shoot a few frames of AC's crash in the second practice session. He started swapping coming down the rollers and next thing you know, he is over the bars.

I still have to go through them but I didn't shoot anywhere near as many as previous years. The new layout drastically reduced the number of spots to get along the fence to shoot.

Thanks! Practice claimed a bunch of guys yesterday and AC was lucky he wasn't hurt. I noticed in the photo that his hand was still on the bars on the clutch side. I can't remember if he kept it running or not though.

Incredible pic.. No wonder we get sore when we crash the body isn't supposed to go through those forces haha
also looks like one of my old dance moves which I saved for when I was super drunk haha

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. He did get lucky.. hope to see more of your photos!

I feel like he's had several crashes this year that would have resulted in him being sidelined in previous years, so that's good to see.

What the hell happened to him in the second moto? He must have gone down early because he was in 21st after starting in the top ten, but he moved up to 15th, then dropped all the way back to 19th for awhile. Then towards the end he started charging and I think ended up 13th. Seemed pretty strange.

I'm not sure if he was just buried off the start or went down early. There were multiple PC bikes in the top ten off the start but it was hard to tell exactly who it was. I checked the live timing results on the AMA site and the first lap wasn't logged for anyone. Lap times don't show until lap 2. He did have a 2:09 on lap 7 that probably cost him a spot or two. I was able to grab a spot along the fence for the second moto so I was taking more pics than paying attention to the racing.

I really thought Adam would look better outdoors this year.

I'll check the other frames I have of this in case there are better ones to photoshop. I am not very good with it so I'll leave that to the experts Cool
