I was a few rows back when zach bell decided to try flying at Dallas. I honestly thought I had just witnessed a rider die.

At least Davolos is consistent... with the crashes. Not usually real bad ones, but "win robbing" ones are his specialty. Yesterday's practice was brutal, along with the one last year where he launched into/over that berm.
I feel for the guy, damn gravity!

I think a lot of us felt that way when it happened. That crash was brutal to say the least!

Absolutely. I hope I never see anything like that ever again

Stewart Hands down has thrown away more wins and more championships through crashing than all the others combined.
A few years back the TV station had a poll asking about the surprise of the year and one of the choices was Stewies inconsistency. All my friends fell off their chairs laughing, my god that's what he has always been known for!

That was the worst I have ever seen. The fact that the ground was so hard made it even worse. Probably a blessing that he was 17 years old and not 32.

Alessi does an excellent job hitting the ground as much as possible.

To me the "worst crasher" is somebody who gets hurt every time they hit the dirt. And the "best crasher" is the person who knows how to fall the best and not get hurt. James and Travis prob are some of the best crashers ever. Both have taken so many hits and bounced up. Obviously crashing that frequently they get hurt a lot but if there was some sort of stat we could keep of 'times hurt crashing' versus 'times crashed' they would have a good "batting average" lol. Something to think about. Guys like Broc Hepler, Josh Grant and Josh Hill seem to get hurt every time they go down. 0.02. IMO. Just sayin. Stamp it. Legit. YOLO.

Wouldn't the "worst" crasher be the guy who crashes the least?

I hate to mention his name because I truly love the young man but, Canard probably has the highest percentage of metal per crash out of anyone.

How can one of the two people to ever go 24-0 in Motocross be the most know for inconsistency? No way, jose.

That's a good one. He's had so many injuries that he's come back for one race to get injured again.

Easily, he has not consistently gone 24-0, he has done it only once, that is very inconsistent to me Silly

I think Zach Bell already has the title of most prolific crasher. Honest question, has he made it through one professional race without crashing?

as far as crashing and throwing away wins, martin has to be at the top of the list. I think zach bell could give him a real run though if he keepts it up like he is. Canard has to be up there as well.

Canard crash for crash, would have to be the worst/ most unlucky. However, I honestly believe there's a right and wrong way to fall. Ask any bull rider, you have to learn how to fall; ie, do not tense up and keep you limbs relaxed. I've had some pretty bad crashes and never had any real bad injuries.

Yeah I bet you would have been ok if you got tangled up in a loose hay bale cover and missed the triple on the first lap of a Pro SX douchebag
