LMAO @ all the assholes that said James wasn't a ticking time-bomb. He was the entire indoors season, and will continue to be.

It that's what happened, it most likely was a track worker.

It was a minimum wage track worker that was on the track he tried to avoid

Ok so the footage is debateable ..... But his answer about a track worker being on the track sounds like a of 3 days later explanation...

Ok so the footage is debateable ..... But his answer about a track worker being on the track sounds like a of 3 days later explanation. I can't see anyone riding like he does, sees a track worker that was prob a little safer in his location from the footage but its hard to believe he could just quickly think up and excuse for a crash like that and blame it on a track workerk as soon as he crashed. What I'm saying is that I think the footage is deceiving and he was going FAST could've easily panicked and done something that caused him to crash like hit the brakes try to whip the bike out of the way and losing balance. I think for certain the track worker contributed to his crash .... I think he panicked and did something that caused him to crash. Also like smug said he could've easily lost his focus, got distracted, and completely missed a line landing out if sorts and still going fast he could've swapped tried to ride it out and crashed.

While its not painfully obvious I think seeing the track worker in the middle of the track (that was his first sight of the worker) he hit the brakes hard felt safe, had to get back on the gas after losing his momentum and focus and when he hit that deeply rutted section. I think tv coverage or somebody's phone from a viewer perspective would show a lot more bec like I said above I don't see someone crashing HARD soon as someone asks what happened he says "tried to avoid a track worker" still banged up w a hurt arm/wrist and quickly diffuse responsibility of his crash to blame it on a track worker when he knew it was his dialysis he would've easily admitted that right away .... Remember he out there on his own accord contract doesn't start till '13 ...... If he did crash on his own he would've admitted it he's been pretty straight up since the outdoors and he could've said I'm still a little rusty.... I do believe the track worker was to blame.... To what extent the track worker was incorporate in the wreck is debatable. That's my opinion of what I saw incorporating a lot of variables into it.

yeah, I'm sure he crashes anyway even if the track worker wasn't in his line of sight cresting the jump..
