His bike got run over and that's why it was locked up, bent rotor/brake.

You can tell it's not locked up in the video as the rear wheel spins all the way through his crash and after.

I see Ryan and Andrews handle bars touch when they land and turns him. watch it again and pay attention to Dungy's throttle hand and you can see the touch. at the 43 second mark.

I agree, the Holeshot Champion will be back.

From where I was sitting it looked like Dungey was a little closer than Short thought and he jerked to avoid him or they made slight contact on the bottom of the jump. No real fault to anyone I think it just caught Short off guard. I even called it when he jerked saying "he's going off the track".

There was something else wrong with the bike from getting run over, it was running when he jumped off the track and did not lock up.

Looked like he over-jumped and got thrown into the face of a jump...
After that just couldn't get it in Neutral/Bent shifter/hard to find Neutral
Scientifically speaking... He fucked up. Too excited after holeshot and vapor locked. It happens...

One things for sure he didn't miss time that jump that bad something went awry completely obvious to any skilled racer, Ridge knows like a few others if he had over jumped he would've went back and braced for the OJ hit..... Valve munchers..lol @ slip.

Looks like to me after watching it a bunch of times that their (5 and 29) bars came together slightly.
I agree, at :42 it looks like Shorty's handle bar may have had a little help with a right turn.
