1. Blessed and fortunate enough to attend tonight's historical race
2. Lucky enough to capture these two images based on my location and gear.
3. Stoked to share them with the motocross community (you).

I can't think of any/many sports that have such highs and such lows for the participants, at all levels.

Nice photography and philosophical post.

Chase has to be frustrated as hell..especially while watching his teammate do everything right and making it look easy

I really like Chase but do we really think that things are going to go different when he gets on the pumpkin?  I hope so but I don’t think it’s realistic to believe that will fix everything for him.

Same here. I gotta give my gf credit. She was a big fan of his on 250's and I really started paying attention to him. He goes down a lot. A LOT. I'm not confident in the bike change helping him

Hope all goes well with Chase and KTM. I fear there will be a crap ton of pressure on him to show his move from HRC wasn’t just an ego move, or because he wanted to be lead man on a team…and Jett was clearly going to hold that spot at Honda, so he’ll be expected to deliver against Jett right off the bat.

I was thinking about the emotion going on in the Honda rig. Celebrating Jett’s win, hunter seemingly not far from as bad as it gets and sextons crash. Sextons shoulder augered in the dirt so hard there. Guessing it’s a collarbone.

I like the framing of the Sexton photo with that big moon shaped shadow....

He wasn't carrying himself like he broke his collarbone
