Preach it...truth.
Honestly, if you do nothing but consume stuff online that makes you think that this country is going down the drain the way you think it is, it's just going to keep feeding you that. Go take a walk, drink some water, and soak in some sunshine. Life ain't bad!
Anyway, did anybody talk to Smith last night?
Um, bell rung is still a concussion.

I was being sarcastic…but…. Feld has a show to run….the animals… performers… riders… can be replaced
Smitty is cool but he’s getting old. I’d like to see him go to 450 before he retires. for the 250 class I d rather see a Levi Kitchen win
Jesus wtf did this thread turn into?
Same shit, different toilet.
Cleanup in aisles 3,4,5 please
On shelf’s W, T and F?
Anyway, I wasn't reading the race thread while Smith was floundering around, and my first thought was he was just spazzing out again (like after his altercation with Deegan last year), concussion didn't enter my mind til I saw this thread. Certainly seemed possible, but it's also very possible he just reacted how he has in the past on a sketchy track.
Me when I walked into this thread to see if Smith was in fact concussed and read 6 pages of… well, I’m not sure of what
Great, now I have a concussion
He said he was winded, and was checked by Alpinestars for concussion after the race.
That’s good to hear!
After re-watching the replay, I'll buy this narrative. When I first saw the crash, it looked like he hit his chin on the crossbar. But watching it again, it appears he hit it with his chest.
I'm glad he's alright.
Vitards are born concussed…
Comedy gold.
Pit Row
So now the virtards are going back and deleting their vitard posts. Imaging that...
"Just avoid all the bad happenings in the world. Its all fake"
"stick your head in the sand. There is nothing you can do"
"dont let it bother you man. Its always been like that."
"You cant do anything about it... just relax and go have fun."
Weak men create hard times.... and avoiding the worst of the world just makes it worse. What a stupid thing to say.
This place is FULL of weak men just "having their fun...cause bad things ruin my happy place.
/rant
back to the thread content... I sure thought he looked compromised. Whether concussed or not, he was riding erratically and making lots of mistakes, causing a dangerous situation. The AMA should have black flagged him, IMO.
Something was off if it was not a concussion . I was worried for him, wondering if they would black flag him since it looked like there was something wrong. The way he was all over the track ,he got very lucky that he did not get caught up with another rider. It made me wonder if he had not been close in the points, if somebody would have pulled him off.
I had a couple incidents myself that I crashed and then did some silly things after getting up. Like opening up a gate, riding off the track and over to the burger stand because I thought they were yelling my name. Luckily I was stopped by an EMT and they talked to me and I rode back to my pit after. That was a local NESC race at Southwick back in the early 2000's. So much more is known about concussions now . I hope he is OK and that if he did get a concussion that he takes a brake .
Actually, we "were" calling you over to our burger stand. Yes, I believe it was 2003? if not mistaken. We saw you go down and when you got back on the bike, my coworker started yelling your name to give you a free burger. Had that EMT not stopped you, it was on the house. But kid you not, that EMT came over to our stand not 2 minutes later trying to get 'your' free burger
No, the clown that was fucking up this thread got the boot and I cleaned up his bullshit.
Although they do an amazing job, it's not the first time the Astar crew have missed something, or made a mistake.
lol. do you mean "IMAGINE that"?
Much appreciated
A concussion should not be the sole criteria when evaluating a rider’s ability to continue. These pros are built to plow through pain, and guys like Smith have a lot more on the line than just a moto win. An objective voice of reason needs to intervene, and that voice could often be the medical crew.
On the Pulp review, JT said that Smith had crashed another time that was not on the broadcast. High centered on a jump. I know Smith said he is fine and that other things caused his erratic riding. I wonder at what point they would black flag a rider. That had to be right up to the line . I would think there had to be people talking about pulling him.
Yah the points he would miss out on by being checked mid race would be a bad thing. But riding around concussed could cost a lot more than points. I know that I would probably have made the wrong decision and rode , if I had all of that riding on me riding. No matter what is causing erratic riding, the rider should be pulled for his and other racers safety.
This must not have been bad enough to trigger a black flag. But I wonder how much worse it would need to be. I would not want the job of deciding to pull a rider. If You stop a major issue from happening , nobody will ever know, and the rider and fans would be mad. And if You don't pull the rider and they have some sort of major injury , then you might get people saying you should have pulled him. It would be a tough job for sure.
OK, I quoted someone (not him) and that was gone but I see the mess you had to clean up.
