Yes I realize that. The original question was regarding “stock” 21s.

What’s the point of step-on step-offs? Nobody doesn’t do it. If you do do it you don’t gain or lose anything. if you make a mistake it’s a guaranteed big crash.

Stupid, dangerous obstacles.

Even if they were running the production trans, the 350 uses the 250F bottom end.

Glad he'll be able to make a recovery.

I would think / hope the helmet and neck brace are being evaluated by the manufacturers (or objective analysis) and shared with the sanctioning body (or safety committee if you will).

Should be some worthwhile data to collect. I've heard this post crash testing / analysis going on with helmets (at times), but don't hear too much about it on the neck brace side.

This isn't the first time this year that a Khuskagas has hit neutral and crashed this year. Has there been any issues on stock 21's?
No.

In fact, it is difficult to find neutral on the 21 450. KTM did that on purpose.

But Marv's tranny isn't the same as the tranny sitting in my garage.

I'll bet Marv has a three speed.

People hit by Mike Tyson got up quicker than Marv did from that crash. Pinch

When you don't even flinch when talking about how many neck braces you've destroyed in crashes - life as a pro motocrosser is Not easy
