I feel like this is a subject that separates the people that race/ride from the people that watch.  If you race/ride and have gone out hard on a day you were tired and felt like crap then that 240 lbs feels like 400…the track that you had wired is now brutal…you have arm pump and can barely clutch and hold on…but your body feels so weak….and you keep riding.  Once lead to a serious shoulder separation….another time broke a rib and f-ed up a hand.  Most that ride serious for a number of years have had this happen…and so has Jason.  This time he had the awareness to say the risk was too high for how tired and crappy he felt.  Go home healthy and hug the wife(?) and baby.  Be back rested next week and shut the (I won’t body shame) keyboard critics up.

And, you're clearly an idiot...but, I digress.

If Anderson was a mid-tier rider, perhaps with a satellite team...his performance would be "just a bad day at the office". But, Jason Anderson is a top-level, professional rider...on a factory team, a factoy bike, with factory rider expectations. AC9 has signed a contract extension...but there is talk of Jason being replaced, why? Is Kawasaki a little tired of the poor ROI they are experiencing with Anderson, and the drama he seems to generate with his "aggressive" riding style? I don't know crap, but if I were a big shot at KHI, I'd probably need some answers. But, thats just me...

If it's just being worn out after doing his "Daddy Duties" with a new wife (are they married?), and a new baby...he'll get over it.

You are the idiot.  75% of the year he's been in people's way.  He just rides all over the track blocking people and holding them up.  He's not on the AMA "watchlist" for no reason.

Interesting comments from some people to say the least…..As an athlete I know the burden it puts on your body, day in and day out.  You are performing at such a high level each and every day, then all of a sudden you are out of your battle rhythm ( in Andersons case his new baby) your body can literally shut down. It’s confused, it gets drained and tired, your immune system tends to be weaker and stress brings on sickness, fatigue and so much more. In this sport, as others have said, your visual and mental acuity must be second to none. If it’s not, severe injury can be a blink away. With that being said, if Anderson was that drained, then he was really that drained and the risk of injury was not worth the reward of continuing to push unfocused and exhausted.

On the other hand in my industry, We have spent days and day and days awake, in some of the worst conditions you can imagine. We didn’t get to quit, we missed the births of not just one, but sometimes all of our kids. All of our senses were impaired and physical exhaustion was rampant, however we had to rise above it all and focus or others would not survive. One bad call and we all could die. We pushed and we made it work. Part of me, as the Alpha personality I am wants to say “suck it up bro” and finish but I can’t, because I do understand that we sometimes have to tap out in life and reset. Thankfully Andersons tap out moment wasn’t with live rounds flying around his head lol. His tap out moment was for whatever his reason was for and he made the call to not push the envelope and potentially end up paralyzed or worse on a gnarly professional Supercross track. Im 100% sure Anderson is tough on himself for the decision he made but it will end up being a teachable moment for his internal self and he will work that much harder and to avoid moments like this because he is an elite athlete and that’s just what we do.  Either way this is just my speculation on why he may have pulled off the track. Unless that facts come from the horses mouth we will never know and thats totally fine. Support the riders who make this sport great and support one another. Life is much easier that way.

 

PS if any of Yall are in Georgia, (Im in Acworth) please feel free to hit me up anytime to moto, workout, wrench etc!

What was Jason thinking?  It goes God, Motocross, Family, Country.  What the hell was he doing putting family before motocross?  He should be tar and feathered.
