I'm wondering if you all in over areas have had this happen lately. Ever since my state started allowing tracks to reopen these past few weeks. Every time I've gone to a practice there's been a red flag incident this will be the 3rd weekend in a row now.

Where they have to stop everything and someone gets carted away in an ambulance. I know people are excited to be able to ride. But it seems like with this longer than usual break from the shutdown.
People are riding over their abilities and getting hurt more lately. Yea i know moto is potentially dangerous but these red flag incidents sure have gone up recently in my area.

A lot of bikes getting sold probably means lots of newbies and/or guys that haven't rode for 10-20 years and think they can just go out and start hitting triples.

I've raced twice in the last two weeks. I would be racing this weekend but I have a MTB trip to Bentonville, AR planned.

Yep, 3 in a weeks span. 3 different tracks, 1 race 2 practice days. Damn, 2 are good friends. The 2 practice ones were both short on jumps, a missed shift and an badly timed check up. The other was too many bikes in the same place at the same time.

Maybe they're red flagging coughs and sneezes now?
