I didn't see any threads on this, I was sitting in club level right in front of where his crash went down. His hands weren't in front of his face to brace the fall, his helmet hit the ground hard asf.

I thought it was fked up they didn't throw the red flag for him. If there was any situation that warranted it..it was definitely then. They ended up carrying him off the track...and not of a backboard.

From the 4x Manitoba champ......

All three riders were injured in the crash with Short knocking himself a little koo-koo, Nicoletti hurting his knee and Hahn breaking his collarbone. Tough blow to the riders, the teams they ride for and the series itself.

Yup, smacked his head pretty good and we're waiting to find out just how bad it is/was.

As we've seen with James, recently...we need to take care with these hits and be sure everything is ok before we worry about getting back on the bike.

Bummed for Andrew. Things were comming together really, really well.

Bummed for all three of those guys. Gawd that was a knarly wreck. Just gutted for Wil....every time he starts to make progess something bad happens. Not sure on Phils knee yet but hopefully just banged up. Andrew's head shot is the most scary and hope he gets some more sx races in. I'd like to see Andrew have a strong outdoor season since it's his last one. Get well soon guys!

Sorry for all the riders getting injured.
Such a rhythm section direct after the 1st turn is kind of stupid.
A lot of riders had issues there.

Just my point of view.

Accidently took a sequence of pictures right in the middle of the crash.
Just looked at my pictures I took yesterday and found those.

Don't want to change with Hahn and Short.

I was worried about Shorty getting burned by Hahn's bike. Seeing him lay motionless under a bike was scary.

I have my doubts about Shorty finishing the season, seeing as it's his farewell tour any way. Hope I'm wrong, but...

I cringe when a rider says it's a farewell season. Same as saying I'm gonna go do one more Moto. Never ends well.

Yup. I think K-Dub did it the right way by just saying fuck it, I'm done.

ETA: Best wishes to Shorty, Hahn and Nicoletti, I hope they all heal quickly.

I'm with ya. It's always ok to say I'm gonna do another lap/moto/season but never say "one more". One more is right up there with "watch this".

Hope they are all gonna be OK.

Retire and hang out with the kids? Shorty has had a hell of a career. Great resurgence and really made a name for himself. Don't want to see him hurt anymore.

Sit out, heal up, and come back strong for the last outdoor season!

Or worse yet, the dreaded "watch this: hold my beer".

Horrible accident for sure.

A red flag should have been thrown. Why the fawk did they not red flag that and restart?

Nothing like taking a footpeg to the back/neck while the exhaust pipe brands FMF into your spine.

Andrew could have been seriously messed up in that crash.

One thing that I thought of was how sharp Will Hahn's foot pegs are or any riders footpeg, he could of easily of got a footpeg to his throat on that one. Hate seeing crashes like that.

Rythym section after 1st turn is poor track design IMO. This isn't rocket science Francis

You know, when they were doing the parade lap for the 450s there was a flagger waving one arm like "hurry up". I was thinking the same thing, running late of the tv time slot.

From RacerX

In the second 450SX heat race on Saturday night, a violent crash between Andrew Short, Phil Nicoletti and Wil Hahn ended with all three receiving medical attention and unable to continue the race. We have a few updates on the status of each rider.

On their Facebook page, BTOSports.com KTM said that Short was back home in Texas and that he is okay, “just sore and banged up.” They said they would have more on his status for this weekend later in the week.

The JGR team confirmed that Nicoletti is dealing with a banged up knee and will undergo an MRI today (Monday). The team is optimistic he will be okay and the MRI is for precautionary measures.

The worst news of the night came from the Kawasaki camp, where it was confirmed that Wil Hahn sustained at least a broken collarbone. We will have more news on his status later in the week.

From Shorty's FB page...

Well, I'm pretty banged up from crashing Saturday night in Atlanta. The worst part was getting my second concussion in less than three months. The burns, bruising and cuts will heal but injuring my head scares me. I would like to thank Eddie and Dr Alexander from the asterisk crew for helping with assistance and medical care. At this point I don't know when I will return to racing but would like to thank the whole @teambtosports crew and sponsors for the support. Besides God and family there is nothing I love more than being at the races around dirt bikes. Also I appreciate @cudby for sending over sweet photos from the races each and every week!

You can blame me for the photo below. This was scary to see.
