4 bike lengths is a BIIIIG door to leave open.
this would be the perfect time for a quick look to the inside see Reed and a split second longer on the brakes and he's up the inside or at least avoiding the collision
I realize I don't know what it's like to ride at that level but it's what I would've done at my level racing the guys I used to race, surely it's relative...it's being aware of the other guy and countering his moves no matter what they are
it's racing
80's.
Bummer for James, but it was his job to think about where Chad might try to stick it in on him.
Reed looks like he is setting up to seat bounce the jump face that is directly in front of him. His body is over the foot pegs (not up on the tank) and he has the balls of his feet planted on the foot pegs (not out against the shrouds), classic style to rip right right up that jump face.
Now Stewart on the other hand.....whats up with him? He is railing like he is coming right out of a turn exit? Right elbow down, pinning it, left elbow out and locked, inside foot out hinged on the shrouds. Looks like he thought that was a turn?
Maybe they did not do a good job at marking the track with those tuff blocks. Or Reed decided it was a good time to do his Windham opening ceramonies impression.
God damn, not many of you guys ever passed someone before.
check the people that are saying it was fine and check the people that are butt hurt about it
But he must have forgot that he was on the last lap of a main event, with someone right on his ass entering the corner. Someone who also wants to win really bad.
This is their job, not some Sunday afternoon local race.
Maybe, just maybe, in your SX 101 how to race book you are going to write, add a chapter about line selection and knowing where the rider behind you is before you ride like you are the only guy on the track.
James was so focused on his front fender he did not even try to look to see Chad coming. I guess he figures no one is able to actually pass him so he is not used to watching his back (or front wheel in this case).
I don't think Chad needs any turning technique help from me, especially since he was not exactly making any attempt to turn. When he wants to turn, I think he does just fine, probably one of the best.

What's next, a reality show?
End of story!
and the reed "still would not have made the corner" in the last pic is hilarious
why am i still posting about this?
Some of you pussies claiming reed was going the wrong way can suck it.
Stewart's lack of awareness is shocking for someone at his level. Right after he hit Reed I wanted to know why didn't check up and blow right by Reed on the inside. It would have made Reed look like a fool.
Years ago when Andrew Short took Hepler out in the last turn for a lites/250 win I was surprised due to his image, but I didn't blame him. That one was a much more blatant take out and I don't remember any controversy.
If you don't understand why he left the racing line for a block pass, I have to doubt you've ever lined up at a start gate.
