Prime example of why I get so pissed at people that do it. Woke up at 6 this morning to news that my dad was headed from RedBud to the hospital. Some idiot in practice this morning wasn't paying attention and cross jumped my dad and cleaned him out. Not the vacation he was hoping for. Now he is spending the night in the hospital with broken ribs, a bruised and possibly punctured lung and a lacerated spleen. Luckily his head is ok with just some bruising on his forehead. Hopefully they will be able to head back home on Sunday if he gets released tomorrow. Thankfully the crew at RedBud is refunding their money for the VIP package for the national tomorrow now that my parents won't be able to attend.
Cross jumping is no joke. You can't suddenly stop and change directions in the air to miss the idiot that cross jumped in front of you.

Did your Father drive from Cali to Michigan or you just live in Cali?
Thanks for the well wishes guys!
Keep us informed how he heals up and are is he gonna make the trip again in the future?
I plan on being there next year but Moving got in the way,
Grew up racing at RedBud and all the D14 tracks. Nothing compares to the fan fest RedBud has. IMO

In regards to cross jumping, I 100% blame whomever taught them how to ride. Holding my line was literally the FIRST thing my dad taught me when riding on a track. It's such a simple concept that people seem to struggle with...it is literally life and death in some situations, yet people don't think twice about shifting lines on the landing of a jump....I will never figure that one out.
Well wishes to your pops dude!
Somewhere in maybe the generation before me, the education of riding went from don't do this, don't do that, to just twist it mate... The amount of stupid shit you see at a track where people are still slow but ride like dickheads is amazing. Cross jumping, block passing, taking lines and closing the door at a practice track... wow. Way to go buddy.
Hope Pops heals up.

It's a human sport. There will always be judgement errors every once in a while.
