But as bad as it was, he actually landed pretty well for flying 65+ feet. Hope the dude is alright.

Here is the video:

Probably the only thing he could see was a Suzuki landing pad, which would not have ended well.
From what I recall from the broadcast (did not go back to watch again) was it ended ok for all, but damn that was ugly.
Great that all were ok and walked away, scary shit.
Pit Row
He executed that crazy situation perfectly
These guys are the unsung heroes of our sport. The ones that keep trying knowing that there is no ride or support for them to earn. They are doing this out of sheer will and desire to race against the best competition in the world. They literally sell their souls to do this. He ran good all day and we qualified 26th. I felt he should have made the main saturday night if this had not happened. This year he is the only Suzuki 250F mounted rider to make a main event on the east coast. At many races we were the only suzuki in the night show.
If anyone ever asks why there should be 22 riders in a main event on here again; respond to them that the unsung heroes deserve those gates. There have been a few working class heroes in both classes this year that this change has helped.
For now St. Louis is a no go for us. Our workload is swamped here at home; the parts to make the bike race ready and get Austons body back while working a job this week just don't add up to the petty reward. I feel like he made his point when he made his first main event at Daytona.
Look for Auston at the Muddy Creek and Red Bud Nationals on a YZ250 two stroke this summer. If you can't make a living racing professionally you might as well have fun doing it right?
He did not race the LCQ as they stated on the tv broadcast. With the new format and lack of RMZ250's within the pits I did not have time to get the bike prepared. I do not think he would have been in shape to ride it either. The sheer mental fatigue of the wreck and him spooked pretty good.
P.S. GuyB we sure could use that privateer spotlight we talked about on the homepage!
Great story, thanks for the information and post.
Glad to see he walked away from that one.
