Can't wait until A2! Mud equals crashing!

Edited Date/Time 1/27/2012 4:57am
Last year one of the Anaheim races was muddy and it was so entertaining to watch those guys crashing and falling. Hate to say it but it was almost comical. Those pros looked just like C riders. Also, it was awesome to watch the more experienced and graceful riders approach a spot on the track then watch a three digit rider try the same section.

Who wants crashes? I want good racing. Rain or no rain. NO crashes, I hate crashes.

Dude, this isn't monster trucks. Crashing in SX is never a good thing. People get hurt. maybe you confused this site with "VitalMT".

I was referring to crashes during practice. Guys wiping out in the mud, Guys who cant get their bikes started, Guys who get squirelly and cross rutted then Fup the triple and crash off the side of the track. Practice was fun to watch last year with all the mud. Guys knocking each other down unintentionally because they couldnt control their bikes in the slop. Fun stuff mud races. Guys whos bikes are tapped out 5 gear but still end up caseing the doubles or triple.

I dont know many riders that are trying stadium triples in 5th gear, especially in the mud.

Terry,

I think crashing in the mud is the same as crashing in sand, soft and it doesn't hurt.
No, I don't want anyone getting hurt but it sure looks great when the pros are struggling. Remember that mud race where RC comes off the jump and launches himself into the air? Hilarious and he was still okay.

Oh...mud is also the equalizer. Rick Ryan won in the mud. John Dowd won in the mud. Bradshaw won on the Manchester team in the mud. Didnt Henry win his first race in the mud at Hangtown? So many privateers can finish high up when the factory guys give up and quit.

Outsider,

I had alittle episode with member yesterday about bashing. Each one felt sorry for the comments they made towards me. Some here are just too edgy and sketchy and need to understand we dont always agree and thats what makes life interesting. But if you like to bash go head and make a fool of yourself because you will not make a fool of me. I have already made contact with some cool people here and when you havve a positive attitude it attracts positive people around your camp. Look at how positive Dungey is about his racing. He has the best team, manager, bike and mechanic. Now he Wins. I want to be a winner and to be a winner you must always think positively and have a positive core around you. Oh yeah...most important I welcome you on my team outsider...you nolonger need to be an outsider. See its easy to like people..try it.

No, mud means make sure your Rain Boots are on the truck (track walk) and that you pack your Team Parka.

Oh, and LOTS of Foam for the bike.

Circus,

Where is Plymouth Mi? Near Kalamazoo? I hear Mi has about five jobs in the state and everyone just goes boating, fishing and hunting to pass the time. I love MI but dont care for the snow.

Wow, what has this forum become? Seriously.


Maybe we should have 90 day probationary period where the post each new poster can be voted on to be deleted or kept. And they'll have to earn enough "Keepers" or...I don't know...something.

Plymouth is to the east of Kzoo like 2hrs or so. I just moved back to MI from CA in october. I have gone hunting, gone fishing, but no boating yet. The last time I looked though, there was only 3 jobs in MI. You better tell me where those other two are!! I need one!!

Sometimes those three digit guys shine in the mud.

Yep, sometimes they get lapped too. Best mud race I've ever seen was RC lappin the field. It's still hard to understand how anyone who has ever rode wants to see crashes. New poster or not, I don't care, wanting to see crashes is lame.

Just one thing here : Wrecking in the sand sucks! I have had three of my very worst broken bones in the sand. You tend to stick like a lawn dart , and everything else just keeps wanting to move from the momentum. I understand what you meant though.

OK, Ill bite.

That's interesting. Crashing in the sand or mud doesn't hurt?? You surely are kidding. Right? I dislocated my shoulder....3 times. Twice in the mud, once in the sand. Did it hurt?
Fuck yes! Still does, 10 years later.
