Shimoda injured

This can only (hopefully) be a racing incident.

Racers ride the wide line, but the know the pit boards are there.

The mechanics have a designated area, they need to stretch out so their rider can see their board.

Bad luck I would hope.

I mean, was Joe too close? Was the mechanics reach too far out? These mechanics really ride a fine line hanging pit boards out there, and riders hug the mechanics area so close sometimes…

Im sure there is a video out there, I’d love to see it!

Too close? What's too close for a rider? The question to ask here is, was the mechanic too close. As long as Joe was on the track (pretty sure he was) it's 100% the mechanics fault, and there's really not much to debate. 

Like I said,  It’s a fine line for both. It’s clearly someone’s fault, moreso the mechanic for sure but what’s vital without a debate

I'm just curious how this managed to break his fingers. How flimsy are your bones, Jo?

We need to ban onewheels and Stacyc bikes after this atrocity.

How freaking fast would you have to be going to break fingers on a plastic board. Maybe it was turned and hit the edge? Jeez that’s terrible luck

My guess is a mechanic was pulling his board back in and the edge of it whacked Jo on the hand between the 1st and 2nd knuckles.

I think he hit Matthes phone, as he was too close to the track, vertically filming a segment for the Steege Show

You’re both aware that Jimmy Button was paralyzed when he fell rolling through whoops in 1st gear, right? Sometimes it’s about how you hit/get hit, and not about fragility.

We understand. Didn't realize everyone was so serious. I wasn't insinuating that this was false news.

Racing incident? Between Jo and the mechanic? Incompetence to be nice, stupidity to be honest.

ACTUALLY,  this is a fault of the AMA, they signed off on the track design, hopefully they will remedy this so it never happens again.

If Joe hit it, it is on him.  If another teams mechanic stuck it out there, fine the team, the rider and give the mechanic a year off.  That can't be tolerated.

If Joe was riding within the track limits it is not his fault….

Right. Only way it's on him is if he was off track. Finally starts out a season the right way and this happens. Brutal

Obviously someone will find out more, but it looked like and has been said it was a Star pit board.


Deegan’s mechanic was on a podcast saying he would mess with other riders (writing things on the pit board I believe). He may have said more than that, but I can’t remember, but I bet somebody can and will find it.

Pretty egregious no matter how it all went down, but if there’s more to it, it’s insanely lame and there has to be penalties.
