I wonder why BT is the only one called fragile? Grant, Villopoto and Millsapps are always hurt too.
Your overstating----he's not the only one. The same photo has been used for Hepler (USA)----over and over again. But, I sense you have an 'angle' you're playing, if so---carry on.......

Damn i didnt know Townley had skills like that on the supercross track. Pretty impressive. Not surprised though. That was kind of a bullshit move that Alessi pulled.

he won a SX lites title over Dungey, he has done something like 8 US Supercrosses (all in 07), had two mechanical DNF's and 3 or 4 wins and a lites title, pretty handy around a supercross track when he gets to a race

4 weeks for a dislocated hip? I must be a real weenie...took me a bit (alot) longer than that for mine.

You're right about the picture being used with Hepler and others too. I think you got me wrong. I wasn't implying that Townley was called fragile because he's not American. I think by saying Hepler, Townley etc. are fragile and injury prone, people kinda diminish their accomplishments and skills as a rider.

This wasn't Alessi's fault at all for 'throwing townley off four laps before."

Look in the corner right before the triple section, at 4:38 there is a downed rider that pulls his bike back over the top of the bowl turn and almost takes BT out in the process. BT swerves to miss him, and the next bowl turn is the one leading into the triple, triple, triple where the mistake is made.

His concentration was affected because the downed rider almost backed his bike into Ben the turn prior. Hardly because he was "riding over his head"
