AC, Broc Tickle, and Roczen have all talked about how depleted they felt at Baker's Factory. Aldon got lucky with guys that were already champs, which gave him instant credibility. I'd choose Peter Park any day of the week over that concentration camp if I was in their shoes...

Have to have the knowledge and confidence to know that what you're doing is correct. As it is everyone errs on the side of doing too much because harder to criticize that approach. Other sports have guys in charge of their training that have studied training for that sport to the smallest detail and have phds in it. This sport has a lot of guys that "learned a lot over the years." This sport just doesn't value knowledge. It's that simple. Everyone thinks you just train and test and tough it out and that's how you achieve peak performance. Imagine...

Are they worried they are going to forget how to ride a bike by cutting down from 4 to 3 days a week?

Hot dogs on raceday but I didn't see Hunter eating one. If you watch the A Mart podcast on Gypsy Tales he says Monday is a bad day to hammer on the bike. Sunday is usually a travel day so no decent rest or meals there. Jett Lawrence said Monday was an easy day, stretching and maybe a bike ride then back into the grind on Tuesday. AP looked like shit. He looked scrawny. Your blood tests and all those tests might be good but how do you measure body reserves on Saturday?

That’s why I would like someone to ask DC or others what the reason is. Red Bud would be so much better not ripped as deep. More than 2 250s would be jumping the leap. The one off camber in the front half always has 2’ deep ruts coming down it and every year people crash there or it’s follow the leader as the other lines all have huge hooks in them. Colorado ruts caused us to loose peak Eli and James also. Maybe if the forecast is for 100 and sun you need to get the water down deeper...

It held up pretty well. What were temps at the track? They laid down enuff water to keep the dust away but didn’t overwater between motos. Good job track crew.

I can see it slowing it a little but it also adds danger for cross rutting and hanging your foot on the ruts causing knee injuries

Please, AMA, don’t let Aiden’s death not produce any meaningful attempt at making racing safer.

It’s still unclear exactly what happened. All I know is if Aiden’s parents are still seeking answers then, yes, this sport does in fact suck. At least this side of it.

It completely restricts their visibility (being able to turn their head to spot drivers, which if I recall is why DE refused to wear it). Chest protectors never come up in spinal injuries to my knowledge, but neck braces do….which I do understand. The fact is, MXGP has the requirement and it’s not a problem, and those boys have zero issues with movement nor overheating….and again, they will all have the same “detriment”. Doc Bodnar said it best: “put on a chest protector & have your friend hit you with a 2x4. Now take the chest protector off and have...

I asked the very same question and it was the motivation behind bringing this article to everyone's attention in the first place. I thought long and hard about it. I didn't want to be the person to do it. It is a tad shameful of our own industry for sticking their heads in the sand but I also know the cold hard and brutal reality of this sport. It's one they are inherently at odds with.

Glad they released this. People treat death as such a taboo subject and hush up about it, but death is obviously a part of life and whatever we can learn from this can go a long way in helping us know how to protect ourselves on track.

Having watched a couple videos of Aiden Zingg, it seems if there is any way possible to learn from this tragic crash, I speculate he would be happy to help another racer have the opportunity to be safer will participating in his sport of choice.

People will often down vote because of the emotional reaction to the story and not necessarily because they disagree with the post itself (I hope that’s the case here any way). It’s why these up-and-down voting systems are so stupid to begin with. They convolute sentiment. It’s a shitty story with a shitty outcome. It deserves a thumbs down. Aidan’s parents definitely deserve a thumbs up for continuing to push for answers. They deserve a hug, and their son back. Hopefully some good can come from this.

Not sure why the down votes this is a topic that needs to be discussed. One has to wonder if the Alpine Stars airbag system could have saved him?

Aidan’s mom released the autopsy results following Aidan’s tragic death: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/motorsports/2025/07/11/aidan-zing… ”cardiac tamponade” Where he crashed is a fast, sweeping blind roller. I’m guessing he low-sided and others collided with him. That kind of chest trauma can really only come from a sudden, high speed, and direct impact to the chest. He didn’t fall from the sky. The only other possibility is a high speed high-side, or impact with a tree. The latter didn’t happen here and I don’t see a high-side to dirt causing this kind of chest trauma either but it’s possible. Certainly worth asking if soft-shell chest...
