How many more flag-ers do they need? I mean how can you pull bikes off of downed riders, move tuff blocks and swing a flag at the same time.
Flags where swingin' bro, lights where flashing. Kind of like gun laws. You don't need more. Just follow the ones you have.
Enjoy being nobody grammar 👮🏻♂️

Did Cox change his screen name? He's the only other person on this site who can be this wrong, and still dig his heels in like he's the only one who sees the truth...
Reality 2 – LKHill 0
I don't have one on Jeremy's injury. I have never been in that situation, coming around the first corner, mid pack in a west coast 250 profesional SX. I'll defer to the experts.
As for the red flag incident, the rules, enforcement and consequences are next to impossible to be consistent with. Until someone get's the vision clearly defined, we will continue to have these embarrasing situations surface and hold the sport/riders hostage.
It shouldn't be as difficult as it seems to have rider communication in yellow, red cross, red, blue and black flag situations. There's no perfect world inside rule interpretations, but there are avenues to keep riders informed and everyone safer than we've seen in the past.
I'm hopeful someone, sooner rather than later can take a long hard look at how the current process is assembled and work to improve things.
But don't take someones word for it that was mere yards away. If Cooper would have respected the REDCROSS FLAG he never would have placed the people in peril he did. How is my reality not the real reality? The redcross flag was out long before the crossed the finish line/green flag. The red lights told the riders that. He jumped anyway and did not obey the commands of the guy with the red cross flag leading to what happened.
If they did nothing wrong why did WhacAdoo say he was sorry and own it. Get a clue buddy.
The red flag didn't come out until they crossed the start straight.

Off topic slightly, but Matthes/JT/Weege did discuss the track not being re-built due to weather and how the whoops were basically just left intact and were like concrete. Add in the 250 W at the first round and we saw what happened, carnage, not just in the whoops but everywhere. Oh and JT said there's no blame really in the J-Mart crash. Stilez was already committed to jumping before Jeremy backed out. I'll go with "guy who raced for 15 years" opinion over the Vital jury all day thanks.
You can't see the guy frantically waving his arms and motioning the riders to the track exit or his partner at the exit doing the same from a still photo of an edited TV broadcast some dude on the internut posted. You don't say? GWS Martin Bros. The racing won't be the same without you.

I've been a Martins fan since forever and want them back in 2 weeks, Jmart still have a shot at the title if the shoulder isn't that smashed but lemme be that guy: this happens when you're still racing teenagers.
I can't do 10% of what they do on a bike and would do what they do in their position but this is exactly
the risk of racing kids.
If that was not the case you would know I did watch the video and it does not show the flagman long enough for you to see what they where trying to accomplish. It was a red flag situation and Super Pooper did not follow the direction of the flag-ers and exit the track @ the designated track exit and neither did WhacAdoo hence his apology but somehow you know more. When the guy with the medic flag directs you to leave the racing surface and you do not it's on you bro.
Cool story bro, next time check you facts Dick Tracy. I guess that was something you just can't see from Japan but that don't change the fact your still a tool.

I think that's what is going on here, especially since you keep denying and throwing out the facts and evidence that have been presented.
Move on man, you're wrong.
Quit blaming the riders and the A-stars guy that got hit. The guy seen a fellow human in trouble and sprang into action showing no regards to his own safety. If that's not the definition of a medic than I don't know what is. Props to him.
