I personally know this kid, close family friend, and he's already seen the pic and this thread, I showed it to him. He's been nothing but very apologetic and even manned up and admitted his wrongdoing, realized his mistakes, and has been very humbled. He's made some posts on Facebook apologizing to the people who help him out, his family, friends, and competitors.

You must know a lot more about this kid than I do based on that one photo.

I read a lot of your posts, and we may agree on more that you might imagine. My kids would never have done that and if they did, my response might be similar to your opinion. But public humiliation by a stranger is not a good teaching tool.

Someone posted he is 17, he humiliated himself, at one of the biggest moto events there is. No telling how many devices he is on from that moment. If you don't want to end up on youboob dont be a boob.

I've seen that same tantrum many times,always made me want to put a boot in their ass.

At mudfy creek one day in 88ish a kid is pissed about his finish and comes flying by the pits hitting my buddy's girlfriend and it skinned her all over.


I wonder how he treats his girlfriend assuming he has one.

I think the real danger is that if this kid isn't taught early enough about how wrong his actions are, he might just grow up and be one of those guys who loves to post on message boards about all the stupid/illegal stuff he does with his child around him.......

This is actually one of my close family friends son. He was riding 250C, he's 17, and this was actually the SECOND chain he broke in as many days while racing there this wknd. I understand his frustration but this kind of reaction is just immature and he does honestly know better. He's honestly a good natured, respectful, and hard working kid. I'm sure his emotions just got the better of him and he's regretting it now for sure. But honestly snap 2 chains in 2 days!? How does that even happen? User error, bad maintenance, bad sprockets, defect? Idk. What I do know is in close to 25 years of racing I've only ever broke a chain 1 time while riding and it was a manufacturer defect so something is definitely amiss here. I feel bad for him for all the time and money he and his family spent all for nothing.

Bit like calling Peick "lame" and "spoilt" for kicking his bike off the stand that time he got knocked out of the LCQ at Daytona a few years ago, no? You don't know the story behind this kid, maybe he borrowed the bike and it was a pile of shit hence why he didn't want it back.

So, if you borrow someone's POS to race and it breaks, it's ok to just walk off and leave it on the track? As long as you're done with it and the owner doesn't want it back, just drop it and let someone else clean up your mess? If anyone is ok with this scenario, I'm embarrassed for you.

I'm sorry , but I gotta say something here.

"thanksguyb "......I'm not sure if you're this kids dad or what? maybe you were ( I said " were " ) posting to help defend your kid or whatever. I can understand that. But what gives GuyB the right to post this pic , is because he shot the pic and runs this site. Maybe a little embarrassment on your end? I'm sure your kid is a good kid , that just had a bad day.

BUT....what GuyB and others have posted about it " Not being cool , or safe since he left his damn bike in the middle of a whoop section "....seems to be 100% correct on what most people would think.

Maybe take a step back and realize your kid did something completely stupid? And NOT cool as far as that goes.

Jeffro, I don't think it was his parent. More likely one of our old repeat customers from Santee who has a love/hate relationship with Vital.

I can't keep up with all the aliases that have been tossed. Who's the former poster from Santee? Premix?

im ashamed to admit ive done something very similar =( i was a heavy kid, had a part in the shock/linkage break on my kx60 multiple times, the last time it happened was after flatlanding a tabletop one corner from the finish while i was leading, i just walked off, left the bike in the middle of the track, still upright, back guard resting on the back tire.. the flagger had to push my bike off the track... i remember being so pissed.. first and last time i threw my helmet at the ground too. dad was even more pissed at my handling of the situation.. learnt a lesson that day.. would have been 8 or 9 years old

I'm not parent of the year but I am sure my 18 year old son would not have handled it that way. If I had to guess we had the coming to Jesus talk about disrespectful behavior when he was around 7 or 8. If your kid is acting that way when they're 17, that's piss poor responsible parenting there. I'm my sons dad, not his best friend. This is not an 8 year old........I think most of us know how this narcissistic, self-centered human being is going to turn out into adulthood, which by the way is next year. The world has wayyyyyyyyy to many of these people in it at this time.
