Dumb take. Its NONE of the riders business. Might as well carry a yellow flag with him and start waving just in case? 

That being said, its the organizers job to have people around the track so riders can be helped immediately. If we start blaming riders for not helping, we're pointing the finger in the wrong direction.

Wild. Just because they're racing at the pro level doesn't mean basic morality should be abandoned. There is plenty of precedent of this happening at press day, and plenty of pro riders have stopped what they're doing to help a guy get out from under their bike. I'll even give you an example from this year.

This goes all the way down to the core of what moto is all about... sportsmanship and respect for your fellow riders. If you disagree with this, I think you should find a different hobby.

Thanks for posting the clip. I hear where you are coming from and generally agree.

Or…it’s the job and duty of the trained medical personnel. If the rider is injured, the last thing they need is another rider possibly risking further injury.

Well it’s just a practice, you don’t have to give the person care but you could take the bike off of them…

With bikes laying in a couple of places, he may not have even seen him under it.

So you’re throwing shade at Christian for not helping him up ? You feel better now ?

Just say you wouldn't help a downed rider up from under their bike. Don't be afraid to show us who you really are. Embrace your piece-of-shitness. Say it with your chest.

I'm not saying he was obligated to do anything, but it was an opportunity to take the high road by getting the bike off.

So now I’m a piece of shit ? I’ve actually helped and donated to plenty of people in all walks of life, including many riders over the years. There are plenty of people who know me on here that would have my back. But you got me all figured out already… Christian is a good dude and most would agree, sorry you felt the need to try and make him look like someone he’s not. 
Rather than call you names and tell you how I feel about you, I’m taking the high road and I’m going to bite my tongue. I hope you have a great day and weekend.

With respect to Christian Craig, I doubt he even saw him trapped under his bike, he was completely covered by it.

I think OP is angry about his boy Sexton and is lashing out.

Is that Sexton on the ground after a tuck....

 

(for the record:  I like Chase)

There's a person tied to a trolly track.

The trolly is coming straight for them, they will surely die.

Christian Craig is riding by and sees a switch that will divert the trolly to the next track over, saving the person. 

Is he obligated to pull the switch?

I didn’t have to make him look like anything. He looked right at a downed rider trapped under a bike and rode right by. His actions define who he is, I don’t.

I’m not angry, I’m just saying, if you’re going to defend it, then defend it.

If you look at the instagram post that you put up, it’s pretty obvious that the guy in the yellow vest (and the other rider) were to him within 2 seconds. For all you know, Christian saw the guy headed to help him already… But you still doubled down on your talking shit. If you honestly think that Christian wouldn’t have stopped to help him if nobody was around, you’re mistaken, Christian is a GOOD dude and not even one single person in the 109 comments felt the need to bash Christian for not stopping to help Moss get out from under his bike. Have you ever heard/ read of anyone thinking Christian is not liked amongst the other riders ? 
But here you are flaming him and trying to put a label on him in a negative light. Then when I defend his character, I’m a piece of shit ? 
Time to take a good look in the mirror buddy, you’ve shown your true colors.

You smell that?...You smell that?

Burning flesh son, nothing else in the world smells like that.

I love the smell of burning flesh on press day. There was one press day in Detroit where there were so many crashes with guys trapped under their bikes...

The whole track... had that burning flesh smell...the smell...it smelled like victory.

You know..., some day Christians SX career is going to be over....

An equally fair question to ask is why didn't one of those fans sitting in the stands jump over the barrier and help their fellow countrymen Mossy out?
