Actual pics tho. Hope it isn’t true
Why would it not be true? MXA has always been reputable to me
It's true in a sense, just got off the phone from someone on hand.
Here's a written version of what we have so far: https://www.vitalmx.com/news/news/Jason-Anderson-Injured-Practicing-at-Glen-Helen,4445
DV tweeted out something of the likes that Anderson left and might be injured so it probably does have merit. It won't be long until pros are no longer riding with the general public.
Here's to feeling good all the time

WOW.
Why in the world do they not have flaggers at Glen Helen on practice days? So freaking dumb!
The message posted above is most likely my opinion and shouldn't be taken as fact....
First Wilson gets taken out for the season at the same track by a local goon, then Rockstsr Husky loses their other rider at the same track from a similar incident. Seems like a great place to practice for pros. Better call Pourcel out of retirement.

That was we thought in Europe too when three riders at once got injured at one incident. I think it was back then Max Nagl, Todd Waters and Glenn Coldenhoff who got all injured at Eersel back in, I guess 2014 maybe 2015. FIM even had a urgent extra meeting but nothing happened. In the USA their is place enough to build some tracks but without those "amateurs" they will never get so rough like a real national track and that is also needed when training.
Good Lord...this is just stupid. Why the hell you would put million-dollar riders on tracks with average Joes is beyond me. It would be like running Formula 1 cars on public highways.
It's impossible for a corporation or government to love you or care about you.
"while two other riders were trying to assist the downed individual, Anderson clipped one of them...resulting in Jason crashing."
So Jason's fault if this is accurate.
One of the reasons I don't ride at Glen Helen on Thursdays anymore. I don't want to be that guy on the ground or colliding with a superstar. No flaggers and no segregated practice just doesn't make sense anymore to me.
The older I get, the faster I was.
For those that don't do the links:
Sounds like there were several riders attending a downed rider with 2 broken legs and traffic was slowed down, apparently a rider leaving the accident scene cut in front of Jason? Appears to be lower right leg and he was carried off the track, not good at all.

They've had a number of deaths at this place over the years with riders being hit while down and no one flagging. When will they learn?
Why these millionaires are riding a track with squids on it is beyond me
Alright Lunger, Let's Do It
I've yet to read an article about Lebron getting hurt practicing at the local YMCA
Alright Lunger, Let's Do It
How about warning lights on blind jumps that could be remotely activated? It would be like moving into the 21st Century.
It's impossible for a corporation or government to love you or care about you.
Meanwhile Tomac pounding out laps in privacy of Colorado and Marvin hammering down with Aldon in Florida. Why these guys risk riding on open tracks is beyond me. And why can't Glen Helen just have two 1 hour sessions on Thursdays for pros only?? That place seems so greedy....already selling every square inch at the National, then letting every squid in so Cal on for practice. JFC.
Old MXer turned Superfan.
