Is Pro Circuit Cursed??

5 out of 6

Injured:

Reynolds

Shimoda

Forkner

Difrancesco

Hammaker

I don't believe in curses.  Definitely some bad luck.  But I also wonder a little bit if the healthy guys feel a little extra pressure when they have to carry the mantel for the team, and push a little harder than they otherwise would?

Maybe go back to blue Peak PC Honda's??  

Seriously though, when you have younger guys pushing, they are going to see more crashes/injury.  PC is a larger team so numbers wise, you would expect to see more of their guys getting hurt.  That said, they really do seem to have a larger number of injuries recently compared to other teams (Star).  

Jo Shimoda was really the only one who could give Hunter a real race 

totally sucks for Jo damn it.

Sucks for Jo but damn... i wouldn't like to be a PC rider. 

Yes, just like HRC Honda 450 team. But they both used to not be cursed hence all the titles...Not sure what happened. 

Yes. Mitch sold his soul to the devil in the early years to win all those titles..........no hes not cursed..he just signed a bunch of riders that are known to be injury prone...and he sticks with them. At some point you need to take a step back and look at the riders you have...

ML might have some insight into what's going on at PC.  He's got some experience being in the hot seat.

Unbelievable. If I were Mitch, I would do a thorough review of the training program. I don’t believe in curses. There has to be a reason for this. 

The Marchbanks curse!!!

More like Hunter was really the only one who could give Jo a real race!  

There is.

Dirt bikes are dangerous.

^^^ This. We facetiously call it deathcross for a reason, right?

I bet he could fill in.

It all started when they switched to Fox.  Coincidence?

Reynolds and Ryder Di I haven't seen enough to see if they're flight risks but the rest are and McAdoo is also on that list so they could be left with nothing.

They have a lot of crashing type of riders bar Jo, they've had some bad luck.

Yep he’s had a little bad luck as of late. Cursed? Cmon man. It’s called “cost of doing business”.

Just karma catching up with him from stealing sod...

Too many young guns in my opinion. Mitch used to hire experienced guys like mike brown, roncada, tedesco, etc.. 

Austin and jo should have been title contenders, I still think they will be. 

if I was Mitch I would put up the money to try and get rj and maybe even give filthy Phil a chance 

Will there potentially be no PC riders on East? 

Did Bones retire from PC?

Just when it couldn’t get any worse…

McAdoo went down. Looked hurt. 

Limped off the track with the medic. 

6 for 6 this season. That is some insanely bad luck.

Well their commercial is awesome. Dang jalek out too. 🙁 new rule, 1 practice a week or sOmething.

This is what happens when you have a generation of artificially fast kids coming up that have been training like aldon baker and competing on superior equipment since they were 5. They don’t have the talent to keep it on two wheels. 

2005 Mike Brown

Yes 

Can’t even think of what fill in riders are free.

wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the world SX riders get picked up and join the team.

Man, what is it about Pro Circuit specifically where they’ve had such terrible luck the last few years… Is it the bike? The performance-based contracts? The pressure from Mitch, or just the pressure of being on a historic team like Pro Circuit Kawi? Is it the green front fender that fucks with your vision? lol, I just want to know what is cursing this team.

They’ve all crashed out, including Ryder D and Reynolds, right? Not sure if the latter two were slated to run an entire series on either coast.
