This is a serious question.
I am neither a CR or JS hater. I am a fan of the sport and I dont subscribe to listening to BS when it is BS. I watch and develop my own opinion from what I believe has happened.
Everyone here is hating on JS for the heat race thing. I think you people are blind. If you watch the video like I did in frame by frame mode JS did not hit the triple any different than usual. However, if you notice Kyle would not have even landed on the downside of the triple. He would have flat landed the well past the downside of the jump. He did not suddenly in the air get more speed. My take is he got a little screwed up on the approach to the triple which probably happened in the rythem section just prior to the take off. Watch the video agin and I am sure you will see what I am talking about. No real blame on either side just a racing incident that tends to happen in the back of the pack, a place JS is not normally near.
I get everyone is a fan of one guy or the other but man, put your BS aside and look at the facts.
The incident in the main was just an incident. Bad timing and position with both guys, but Chad had been following for 4+ laps and had already seen the line JS was taking through the woops (JS on the left and CR on the right) and they were getting close in that corner each lap.
Now it looks like Chad is hurt which isnt good for the series. We need all of the champs out there. James is still the favorite for the title and I am sure even Dungey sees that as real. This will make for an interesting championship just like last year, and with the arrivals of some new threats this should be an even better season than last. With A2 predicted to be a jet ski race anything with the points is possible.
Just my observations.

Cody24, what I am saying is that the whole thing is not clear cut. I was at the race and I watched the video again. I am sure if Kyle was not so high and overjumping the triple like he was the results "MIGHT" have been different.

No, apparently only you are.
But to me,the spin factor and then not manning up and apologizing to Kyle,then blaming a crash on Reed ,followed by childish bike tipping tantrum shows a low class, spoiled racer that expects others to bow down before him......It also is my opinion that Dungey was gonna win anyway and was as much in James' head as JLaw was ever in RD's. JMO of course.

kyle would have landed nice and smooth if it weren't for James coming over on him like that. It really is that "black and white" ( not a racial thing here BTW) as you put it. that wreck was 100% James fault.
Kyle has been doing this a long time too , but in this situation , there was nothing he could do. he lifted the front end of that bike because he knew he was going to hit James and/or land on the tuff blocks as well. he wouldn't of had to do any of this if james wouldn't of came over from about 8' from the left......that's some pretty scary shit.
Pit Row
Typical stewart "Im the fastest man so get out of my way" attitude
I think i can speak from experience. watch the video of what speed played on the highlights of the race that OCscottie put up. Kyle was fine on the take off , and midway ( about over the second mound) James had already started to come in and just about make contact! Kyle's right leg comes off the pegs while he's pulling up on the front of the bike! rear wheel would have hit the landing ramp perfect , but front end was high.........making it "look like" he over shot it!
And besides the fact....it wouldn't have mattered even if Kyle did over jump the dam thing.....he was going to land on James no matter what! James was about underneath him!
Go re-watch the video!
Please go re-watch it. Most of the guys who would disagree with you are all in bed now............which is where i'm heading.
One other thing Kyle himself came in here and explained exactly what happened and what he thought. The video itself proves everything , and that he was in no way at fault for this.
Here is the thread with the video. >>>> http://www.vitalmx.com/...re-is-the-vid,780740
watch it about 10 times over between the 6 and 10 second mark.....and then tell me what you think.
Slicing through the pack is fine but doing it over the tripe on the first lap of a race in traffic is foolhardy at best.
Sure its forgivable, but to go to the length to put up an accusatory post on your website and not mention any regret to the fellow rider YOU scrubbed into is shallow and snobbish.
Leave the AMA out of this thing.
Let men be men. One man child has some people skills to work on. Maybe spend some of that cash of his and get a real PR agent in there.
Maybe borrow one from that shoe company.
