Awesome riding by the kid, but why did he not get DQ’d for cutting the start? I understand him continueing to race to show that he was the fastest rider out there, but after that he did not deserve the overall win.
Also amazed at the fact that Ralph, Jeff and Ricky did not comment on this during the race.
Maybe I missed something, but the resultsheets still show a 1-1.

I agree. Emig or one of them mentioned it quick and didn't even have an opinion on it. In general, that kind of stuff shouldn't fly ( accident or not).

if you re watch the video. he has 2 choices, cut that hay bale, or hit it and crash.
and what? so he would have won by only 8 seconds instead of 5 otherwise?

well actually. maybe they took that into consideration, he did gain a HUGE advantage by not crashing...or coming to a stop and coming out in last.
if the race would have gone that way. him checking up and coming out last, its not likely that he would have won.
so with that reasoning. i can see why they pulled it from him.

It is clear that it should have been sanctioned, if it is not and carries Monster advertising, we know that is why, a shame, but one more of Monster.
Everything very pitiful, comes out first cheating, and when it ends celebrates it effusively as if it had won, not the million dollars, but three or four million dollars, but if you are a cheat, that if, of Monster, then if you can be a cheater and come out victorious

I must say, I was waiting for the black flag... He obviously cut the track...
