Same jump combo that did AC in.
Also, it may not make much difference in this scenario, but concrete is absolutely harder than packed dirt.

Just said in the broadcast he’s off to the hospital to get checked out.

Was interesting to me how he couldn't look Ian or Roger in the eye.

Looks like he says back to Ian “I’ll try” as the mule pulls away ... maybe a keep your head up or keep positive thoughts from Ian?

He looked pissed to me. He's a tough kid and I hope nothing is broken.

Have you ever jackhammered compacted dirt? There's not much difference. A body slam is a body slam, both of them on very hard surfaces.
Jackhammered compacted dirt lol? No I haven't, I usually use a spade and a pick. You work in an office or something?

I figured you wouldn't know the difference, but since you do you should know better. Compacted dirt vs concrete on your back is not a big difference. And if you think it is, maybe that's why you are working in the dirt.
Yeah, maybe. If you ever need to run any drainage at your your house and dig some ditches, rent a jackhammer for that shit. It'll go way quicker.

That's exactly what I saw. He just looked disappointed in himself and pissed off that he crashed.

I've always loved the motocross community because as a kid going to the races, we all had fun. I remember riding our bmx bikes on the track before the races started. To be sure, there were some competitive moments, and at times we all let our tempers get the best of us. But in the end, it worked itself out.

But reading some of the social media comments (not here but on fb, Insta) on Webb has left a bad taste in my mouth. People laughing at his crash, an end to his title hopes, and making memes about the "Webb Wagon". Pretty disgusting, and I gotta say, not something I would want my non-moto friends to see.

I really hope Webb has a quick recovery, and hasn't sustained any serious injuries.

I’m no doctor, but he landed flat on his tailbone/back on concrete and they pick him up by the armpits and sit him upright on the mule? Didn’t they do the same last week with Moreau? You’d think in instances like this the backboard would be used as a precautionary measure.

Hope Coop’s alright, that looked gnarly as hell.
I've learned recently that backboards have largely fallen out of favor, and that it is now believed to not provide benefit in most cases. This is no comment on how they did handle him otherwise, positive or negative. I didn't see enough to comment.

As the sport grows, it’s inevitable. People will pick their favorite rider and root against anyone that gets in their way.

Yes it is gross but it’s the world we live in now with social media and people being able to sling their nasty hatred behind a virtual wall.

Not a Webb fan at all but don’t want to see him seriously injured either. That hit looked brutal!

A bit different as Coop crawled to the side and stood up on his own after a bit. No dead legs...
Gotcha, I saw him crawling around, but missed him standing up on his own. Good to hear.

He has had alot of luck in previous crashes and in saving serious wrecks. Hopefully his luck continues and he hasn't broken anything.

That crash looked nasty though. Its hard to imagine he didnt break anything..but until it's confirmed I would like to hope he lucked into nothing more than a bit of bruising and that he's back next week.

The series is better with more guys capable of winning.

Webb's ability to cut under people in corners is second to none. It's like everyone else is on slicks and Webb is the only one running knobby tires.

Even if he didn’t break anything, he’s going to be sore as hell for awhile!

Not to derail the thread but I noticed Tomac doing this a lot tonight. Must’ve taken note!

Dragons back to double was not a good obstacle. Just tabletop the gap and AC and Webb would still be racing tonite.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mom for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck, but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well, I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like that to my mom in front of me. Probably never happen though, you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someone’s face. Just my thought. What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I, on the other hand, will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

My accident was workplace but was a 9 foot fall onto concrete on my back. Burst L1 vertebrae and had a fusion of 5 vertebrae. I am way older, but landing on concrete from that height is bad 95% of the time.

And if they took him to the ER that quick something is broken is my guess
