My story is similar to yours all the way down to the local A level and broken femur. Sounds like the wreck did something similar to you where you focused more on the rest of your life and began getting that in order, which is a wise move. I stopped racing after my accident, started other sports, graduated college and...

Same could be said about Reed back when Carmichael and/or Stewart were on the gate. You could almost always count on him finishing on the podium, but he didnt rack up a ton of titles during that time. Difference between Reed in that era and Dungey now is that injuries almost seem to be certain within the top 5 riders...

Haha thats a great setup. The PW looks awesome, nice job.

I'd agree with you. I should have acknowledged that I do understand setup plays a significant role. It just seems like that now the first words out of second place are mentioning setup rather than admitting the other guy was just better. Speaking of Dungey specifically, I’m sure he didn’t have an ideal setup at Hangtown and was closer at...

Pretty tired of hearing "setup" is the reason someone gets beat. Ping talked a bit about setup this week in ask Ping: "...the excuse of "chasing setup" does get a little old. One of the best things I ever heard Ricky Carmichael say after getting beat was that he just got beat. He would congratulate the winning rider and reiterate...

I’m sorry you had to go through that. Are you holding up ok? Reach out to friends and family to help get you through the trauma of such an awful attack…

I guess that put a fork in his riding plans....

I get bored of watching the top guys doing the same thing through every section, every lap, every weekend. Kinda the same reason i dont like Nascar, but at least theres a lot of strategy in Nascar. What would make SX more interesting to me isnt feasible (back to two-strokes, slower bikes, less bike technology, etc..) so i dont have...

....And free birth control & abortions. I'd happily support this

Ask the majority of America how and you'll have an answer.

You not putting him in your top 5 is definitely your own opinion and you’re welcome to have it. I’d still put him in the top 3 based on his accomplishments, and + 1 for having the coin purse to pick up and run the GP series while he’s still competitive. You and many others may judge the guy based...

Hahaha, Jesus C man.

Not too many options around here nowadays. Google Riverdale MX and Straddeline MX, those are probably the best options within a 2 hour drive. I heard Pacific Raceways is opening back up real soon and Monroe has a small track going. OPMC in Port Angeles also is a decent place the last i heard. Other options include eastern Wa and...

Is there any way to confirm who actually filed the suit? His death will likely be talked about again in the future and it wouldn’t be right to then discuss how greedy and pathetic the family is for filing a lawsuit against all those companies if the family wasn’t really behind it.

I've ridden there for a long time. Knew the owner fairly well also. Id definitely learn more of what actually happened before criticizing where and why the water truck was where it was. Hindsight is always 20/20 and in this sport freak/random stuff happens in the blink of an eye and sometimes there isn't a reasonable finger to point.

You can get a very capable mtn bike for $500-1000 that will be way more fun to ride than the crap sold at Walmart. Look into the hardtails Specialized offers for both you and the lady. They sell a good womens bike for about $500. And i say good and capable relative to the skill and need of someone just...

"he commented. “I know that is happening but bottom line is that I had the balls to come over here to race. It is not going to be easy and never once have I said it would be easy."" This part seems to be the bottom line in my opinion. The guy committed to riding the other series in the...

Not positive but i think he was wondering how she did relative to her competion.

Agree. its only so exciting to watch the top 10 guys do the same thing through every rhythm section and corner on a 55 second track. Everything is so fast and smooth now that its a spectacal to actually see someone do anything different and come through the pack (ie the 250's last weekend).

Yep. Upgraded my package for $2 a month to get CBS Sports for 6 months. Pretty sweet
