Dude was wailing his chainsaw around making noise. People telling him to stop. Continues walking around making more noise like an asshole.
Some dude sneaks up behind him, taps him on the shoulder, chainsaw guy turns around, guy that tapped him on the shoulder proceeds to clock him right in the face with his fist. Got him a few times.
Chainsaw guy took a few shots. Walks around, proceeds to sucker punch another guy.
Small fight broke out.
Definitely had it coming.
Don't think I'll find again. Can't remember the account.

I’m all for the festivities but to me the chain saws are too much. I saw one last night on Racer TV that had like a modified megaphone exhaust lol.

I think the chainsaws are hilarious, if you don't like them don't bother going to a Euro race haha

Yeah I think they're funny too but I think they have their place.. or should I say they have a time limit..
just holding it flat out for 5+ minutes is a bit much! Especially if you're annoying people!
Where did people's common courtesy go?

Fucken sucker punches when did they become 'ok' to do?
when I was young (I'm 40) you'd be burned at the stake if you hit someone that wasn't ready or looking
and mostly by your peers

Chain saws are cool for a few minutes. There were Americans there with them as well. Expect them at the National. The whole yelling Red Bud thing got old a long time ago. Wish Rob would drop it already over the PA.

After the sucker punch that's when it got uglier. My guess is the video was taken down because someone reported it.
Dude with the chainsaw deserved it. People approaching him to let him know to stop and all he did was avoid and run away like a teenager holding it wide open. Guy was probably late 20's to early-mid 30's.
Sucker punched a guy trying to calm down the situation. Don't recall seeing kids around so that was probably the only positive in the whole situation.

I think Weege wanted to put his foot up a few assholes that wouldn't take their finger off the damn trigger last night. Just a few attention whores that gotta be in the spotlight.

We met up with my buddy’s buddy, who welded on this expansion pipe from a Polini then painted it red white and blue. At least it was creative, and he wasn’t obnoxious with it.

These guys are just idiots. They are at all the Dutch nationals as well. It is "fun" for like 30 seconds, but it is extremely annoying for all others when this is going on for the full event.

I could probably handle a 500cc 4-stroke chainsaw, with reverse-cone megaphone & running R30 ...... for a little while ;-)

I think the chain saws are awesome... your lucky it was just chain saws I have seen pit bike motors, even a car engine in a shopping cart at Lommel a few years back with the smoke bombs etc it’s all a part of it...

No, I wasn't at MXdN. I would need an action track chair in order for me to get around properly.
Like this guy.

VERY ANNOYING
Watching the MXGP and MXGP2 races is annoying with that constant noise.
What are you all trying to gain by being so annoying?

Same her for me Maverick. I just stay home and watch MX and SX on TV. I would be miserable in my wheelchair plus viewing would not be good either.

Edited Date/Time:
Leave your chainsaws at home people, a lot of other people came to the same place or watch on TV an actually motocross race. A sign at the gate just needs to say No Chainsaws. If somebody starts a chainsaw, throw them out. I actually do think it might just be a protest because fans want to hear and see 2-Stroke motorcycles on the track. They are letting out their frustrations about stupid rules against 2-Strokes and they are also probably under the influence. I love 2-Strokes but Just Say No to chainsaws at the races. Plus all that time you wasted holding a chain saw you could have been drinking, Less Noise=Better Buzz.
