forgive me if this has been posted.

This happened this past sunday at the shrine circus that was in town. Now i'm all for FMX but how does one setup ramps for a show at the circus and not check the flight line before the main show.

you can watch it here, http://youtu.be/4CFHajtinlk

Holy shit! But broken femur, wrist, elbow and shoulder.
Sounds like there was clearance in other shows before this one.

This is why the word Motocross should be removed from that freestyle crap

Wow that was ugly glad he survived.
I think the ringmaster did a fairly good job considering the seriousness of the situation.

So, not only did they not have the foresight to not check the clearances of the facility, they didnt have the foresight to have trained medical staff on hand?

shut that fucking organization down please.

These fucking clowns should be put out of business. He calls himself a "paid professional"...more like a bunch of irresponsible ass-hats.

I doubt they did not have medical staff on hand even though the ringmaster was calling for a Doctor.
It is a terrible accident but the Shriner circuses do support the Shriners Hospitals for Children which is a worthwhile cause.

Two dumbest comments here. You make it sound like no one does stupid shit in MX. Sure, it shouldn't have happened. The guy should have made sure the cable wasn't there but clearly it's dark and not visible. An honest mistake that shouldn't have happened.

It still doesn't make it motocross, it's stunting. Period. It's a stain on real motocross racing and you have no grounding in the sport of motocross if you equate this foolishness with it. Assholes do dumbass garbage like this on street bikes as well but they don't embarrass serious racers by calling those fools freestyle moto GP racers.

X3...FMX gives real motocross a bad rap...it just sucks.

Motocross is racing...what those freestyle guys do is a dare devil act/stunt show, NOT racing...time to change the name.

How does FMX give motocross a bad rap? Some people on vital are so single minded....it takes just as much skill to be a top FMX rider. My buddies ride our fmx compound probably more than my buddies that ride mx. We ride saturdays and sundays usually from 10am -4pm. And the day you can consistently even jump a 75 foot ramp gap come back and speak your mind. Until then, you have no f'ing clue what some of these guys put into FMX training. The funny thing is you probably swing from Josh Hansen's nuts and call him a racer. I guess Chad is an idiot for doing an FMX backflip....and Ricky is an ass for doing FMX can cans....and Jeremy is an ass for doing FMX nacnacs and superman seat grabs....and KDub is an ass for having his own personal FMX ramps and riding regularly with the FMX guys.....go blow chodemaster....

Right.

Someone gets it.

That said, that was one of the more horrid things I've seen in a while.

Remember Scott Murray? Yeah, he's part of "Sick Air FMX". That's why this doesn't surprise me even a little bit. Not one person in that crew should be allowed near a motorcycle.

And Madonna lip-synching at the superbore probably gave you a chubby too. That's real.
