In the first Heat Drake got it all wrong and ended up facing the wrong direction, he then tried to power up and whip the front wheel around unitentionally striking another rider in the face.

Do you think this was a reckless move and a penalty should have been placed?

Pretty sure his front wheel went up because he started rolling backwards. Doesnt take the clutch grabbing much to pull the front wheel up.

Yes, It was in the heat of the moment, but where is the line drawn, it could have ended the night or a career of the rider being hit in the face.

Yes, a reckless act does incure a penalty?
Was that reckless?

And here I thought this thread was going to be about him riding through the pack to get a top 10.

I'm all for imagination but clearly you're a few rides short of a unicorn wrangler by your thought process

How bout that dude taking a KTM right in the beak? That guy deserves his own thread.

Think the OP has been watching too much hard enduro. The guy was crashing.... not whipping it around.

With no one agreeing with me it's obvious to me now that I have to get better glasses.
And what a great recovery and ride moving forward through the pack.

You know you're failing at Vital when an ex-factory rider comes out of lurking to light you up, hahaha!

I was dumbfounded when I saw this clown dump the clutch and throw the front wheel into an oncoming riders face. Viewing this angered me. I've never seen anything like it before.
How would you feel if somebody did this to you?

Someone finally agrees, wether is sarcasm or not I will take it.

Sliding out going into the first turn in the lead and dealing with the whole pack coming at you. RC just fell over before he made a complete 180. Not saying it's the exact same situation, but this was my first thought.
