Holy shit, cut the man a break. He is taking two races off after a bad ass crash on a bike he is over anyway. See you at SMX Chase, heal up. Not a Chase apologist either, a realist.
He needs therapy
🤣 A little rough. But you are not wrong. RC won 10 outdoor national championships in a row... imagine how many crashes and mechanicals he had to overcome to get that done. #mancard.
Since when did it become acceptable to pick and choose when you are going to show up for work? This is redonkulous at this point. Ill bet Kawi is feeling super confident about their signing right about now. First Prado who hasn't done squat, he's the f-ing two times world champ for God sakes and now they are adding this guy to the team. I'm sorry, I like Chase but the dude has some serious issues.

Yes, yes I can.
Clearly he’s an entitled pussy, I mean anyone can get his fitness and skill on a bike with little effort 🙃
Exactly. I get some of the criticism he takes but people are so quick to forget this is the same guy who already came back mid season when he didn't have to and was arguably the best guy out there in those two races. Anyone else ever fight Jett like that?
You have to have a real selective memory to convince yourself the guy doesn't care, doesn't put in the work, isn't willing to put himself out there, etc etc etc...... yet the last thing some are ever going to do is give him benefit of the doubt.
He didn't have to come back? KTM doesn't have to pay him either.
We still have time to put RJ or J Coop on the team. Let Chase go off and do some Iawaska or whatever the hell that sh-t is called.
😂😂 chase is literally the kawhi lenoard of motocross , its 1 thing or another 🤦🏾♂️ ahhhh well , heal up & try again in September for the playoffs
It’s his life and his career and he can and should do what’s in his best interest. But I said early in the season that SMX fucks Pro MX by giving high-performing riders a good reason to skip some of the outdoors in favor of the bigger payday of the Playoffs. This should surprise no one.
The look on his face walking up the hill past me gave me Stew in Houston 2012 vibes lol
Yup. Of mindless stupid posts with no context or rational. Not worth the time.
Ian Harrison, Team Manager - “After inspecting the bike Saturday evening, and reviewing the bike data, we now have a clearer understanding of what led up to Chase's crash in moto two at Ironman, and I want to clarify that it was neither rider nor mechanic error.
Initially, we thought it was a front brake issue, but we now know that debris got into the rear brake system, preventing Chase from activating the rear brake. This forced him to reduce all his speed using only the front brake. We can also see from the bike data that he left the jump on this lap at a much higher rate of speed than at any other lap during the day.
So it wasn’t a mechanical but the rear brake failed? What are you even saying Ian. I watched the replay over and over and you can see the front wheel make about a quarter of turn and lock right off the jump. Maybe I’m wrong but Ian, whether it’s front or rear it’s a mechanical. As far as going through that section faster that lap? No shit you just said he had no rear brakes.
Only thing I can figure is rear failed and he was on the front brake a little trying to scrub some speed and the amount of brake pressure was enough to stop the wheel once it was no longer in contact with ground. Then throttle stuck and front brake lever jammed from the crash itself. That seems to be the story anyway.
He didn't say it wasn't a mechanical failure, he said it wasn't caused by an error made by a mechanic.
KTM and Webb agreed to mutually part ways with somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 months (maybe more) left on his contract. If KTM and Chase were as over each other as some of you think, then why haven't they decided to call it quits with roughly two months left on Chase's contract?
He never said it wasn't a mechanical, he said it wasn't caused by rider or mechanic error.
Pit Row
WTF is this explanation?!
Chase is an animal on the bike, but he’s still human and that was a big f’n crash. Rather have him be rested and healthy for SMX and MXON than anymore outdoors.
With that being said…🤦
You’re right. I read that part wrong. My brain doesn’t go towards a mechanic doing anything wrong. It’s always mechanical failure. I just found the video of the interview and it paints a different picture. He started by saying he didn’t want to say too much he hadn’t talked to Chase yet and didn’t want to speak on it. He also mentioned having the same problem on the same jump last year.
See you at Anaheim 1.
betting its more a mental issue than physical( chase is a beast).......
Can't say i blame him as he's had some pretty weird get offs.....heal up big fella?
Chase is a bad dude buuuuut
If there was no SMX playoff money you wouldn’t see him on a orange bike again.
SX season on the Kawi next year is make or break- if it’s a slow start he will mentally combust and never win another title
Let’s not use common sense on this forum.
I have wondered (pure speculation) if he would be better off without his dad around all the time. Maybe someone less invested who is able to stay off the emotional roller coaster and be a little more objective in their advice, but that can all be true without him or his dad being bad people. I would just find it all a little more believable if there were some specific examples or anyone on the record even hinting at it. In the past when people or their family have been difficult it seems like it's more or less openly talked about, no?
Right? LaRocco, Allessi, Marchbanks, Kenny and others it’s been reported that their dads were difficult. This is first hearing about Chase’s dad. Chase has been known to give interviews after races when others would’ve hid in the truck, maybe it’s a fault of him being too open and honest with what’s going on and he should give more PC answers in interviews…
The way he landed on that bike from that height with his legs out like that. He’s lucky he can come back for SMX. Dudes a tank. Sucks for him but I get it. He’s had some of the weirdest shit happen to him. Both his fault and not it’s strange at times.
Disappointing I agree shoulder feeling weak . Inject it tape it up & race .a shoulder can be 80% off & you can still race. If you like racing yet too many pro riders pulling the plug for minor stuff. Last yr he flew in to Sunset ridge in between nationals on a helicopter. Someone brought his bike to ride . To not wanting to ride kinda weird change . I know some young women that Love Mx racing . They go to local races there not interested in pro Mx from too much bs
