Smiths going to Marty..... would have been interesting to see if wackers could have caught Lawrence. Smith was holding him back. Lucky that accident didn’t take both out.

Smith and I are done, for good. Dude gets a non-powered tire (front) to the chest and he basically just quits the main. THERE ARE FANTASY POINTS ON THE LINE MR.SMITH, get on your bike as fast as you can and show why you have a PC ride.

Sorry rant over. Flame me.

Didn't Smith go down around lap 2 or 3? How was he holding up McAdoo?

As if your fantasy league was more important than the racing or the rider, I don't know if it is joke lol.

Anyway, I think he took the handlebar hard, not just the tire.

Go back and look at Jordan in 2019 on the KTM. When he wasn’t crashing he looked very smooth on the bike. Watching him ride the Kawi the last 2 years has been painful. Either he doesn’t gel well with that bike or his mind has been somewhere else. Just doesn’t look near as fluid on this bike as he did on his KTM. I hope he can get this stuff sorted out.

"When he wasn't crashing he looked very smooth...."

The problem seems to be him crashing regardless of the color of bike.

The biggest difference is that he has crashed in EVERY main event he’s entered on the Kawi.

Anybody know how Jordon is doing? I can't tell if he dislocated his shoulder or broke it. This one was a racing incident, but what bad luck. He is going to feel like the tin man by the time he is 40.

The worst possible time to cross jump, looked like a broken collar bone.

Crossed jumped in heavy traffic. Dangerous move. Took a few innocent victims with him.

But he ended up cross-jumping because of a near-collision with Schock on his right, in trying to avoid that he ended up jumping way to the left. Total racing incident IMO. We are just lucky that first lane did not claim anyone else on the first lap in any of the other races.

Jordon needs a reset though. He's got speed to burn, but it's 7 years and he still has not smoothed out consistently. I hope he gets healthy 100% before he's behind the gate again, but I get that he needs to race to get another deal. Tough spot, but at the same time self-inflicted.

Tons of speed, but his career is starting to look like Bogle’s and Savatgy’s without a championship (or nearly one - minus 17). Ever since that hectic Vegas race his seasons have just been full of injuries.

Legit some riders just seem to have this black cloud over them at all times. I can’t imagine the frustration they go through.

*Edit* Yes I know Bogle won a championship. Simply miss worded above. Essentially just comparing that Bogle got a championship and career has mostly been riddled with injuries since. Same with Savatgy (so far) but not actually clinching a 250 title and was close to just like Smith was.
squirrely...as hell.

If I were Mitch I'd pay him to not race the rest of the year. One of these times it's going to be McAdoo or Hammaker he takes out.

I do feel bad for him. He was one main event from a championship amd now it seems like his equilibrium is off.

Did he cross jump or did he get pushed off his line?

Did not cross jump, coty schock bumped him on the face moving Jordan into Mitchell. Clearly shown on replay. No word on Jordan?

That is what I want to know. I don't do social media stuff, and nothing on the web yet. That looked dislocated or broken, didn't look like a typical collarbone to me, I felt bad for him.. He has had such rough luck lately, and the crash last night was nowhere near his fault.

Mitch don’t have to pay him not to race, he’ll send him to privateer island

Maybe time for Jordon Smith to pack his bags and come to Europe and try a fresh start in the MX2 class before he destroys his body any further (or worse) in supercross. Didn't do Zach Osborne any harm.

He's too old. Born in 1996 so he turns 25 this year.

Shame, i think we could do with another 'Seppo' in the GP's. They need to do away with the age limit on that class, I know it's meant to be a feeder class for MX1 but that only works if MX1 has the rides, which they don't. some people are just better at smaller capacity bikes. Look at Mike Brown.

He should retire right now. Dudes gonna get killed or paralyzed. He's obviously got a mental disconnect where he's got no ability to focus at periods of time. He's a train wreck seven years running now.

Ohhhhhhhh, no you didn't. EXACTLY! Need to ride like you need to pay the bills man. So easy to walk off when you know the check will always cash.

Not a “move”, but a racing incident.
Have to be at least a collarbone. That hit was hard

It happens for a lot of racers...they have the raw speed but speed alone isn't enough to win races/championships, it's just one of many factors.
