What he meant was...by the tuff block
As we have seen there is at least 1 riders willing to take responsibility for his negligence and he earned big respect from me(like he cares)for doing it.
The red cross medic flag DOES not close the track. It is used to warn riders of a rider being down and to not jump anything but to keep racing. The RED flag (as in all red, no cross) is the one they use to stop the race.
god why am I even trying haha

3. No passing is allowed until clear of the incident.
4. Riders must follow all directions given by race officials in that

Clearly you don't understand when he gave them the command to exit the track in the designated track exit the race was stopped.
Things went south when Cooper doubled into the red flashing lights as that is considered a medic flag. Everything happened in "warp" Justin Coopers speed. Moran.
Also the medic flag does NOT mean keep racing as you claim as outlined in the rules. No passing means no racing but I understand you working with a limited amount of brain cells.
Even though we were lucky that no one was seriously injured by these 2 riders trying to race past a downed rider, a penalty needed to be imposed to put riders on notice, and probably more important, so that it doesn’t friggin happen again.
For me, the red flag and whatever else was happening else where on the track is irrelevant.
The core of the issue is the rider didn’t exercise enough caution around another downed rider, even though he has seen the medic flag and rolled the section coming into the downed rider, he still tried to race past the accident.
Imagine a similar scenario in the future where a rider may be in need of serious medical attention but the medic has to give way to a bike/s because “he’s rolled the section but he’s still going by at race speed around a clearly noticeable downed rider.”
Minds won’t be changed and that’s fine, but “oh well, no one got hurt and it’s a %50-50 blame pie, let’s move on” doesn’t prevent it from happening again. The rider had the ability to remove any chance of an incident occurring by respecting the flag and simply slowing down.
It looks to me like he saw the red cross flag and flashing red and yellow lights and assumed the rider's saw them too and they would go to his left against the berm. Cooper cut inside between him and the crash scene and he ended up like running with the bulls with a spin move, then he thought he'd make it to A-Mart and Mcadoo would go outside him but he got run down with Mac trying to follow in a line that was no longer there. Mac was like a bowling ball splitting the pins, he knocked down the moving medic to the left, and rolled Alex and the other medic on the ground to the right.
MORON - a stupid person
I’m surprised English is so hard for someone so quick to call everyone else names.
The fact is the red lights you keep banging on about mean not to jump the triple thanks to the canard morais incident years ago nothing else and while your Red Cross flagger was pointing he was waving the wrong flag to make the riders exit the track! 90% of this thread is telling you the same thing.
It’s obvious who the MORON is.
The rules also say take direction from the medic flag-er. He was directing them off the track and they did not comply I would argue partially because they had jumped under the red lights and where carrying too much speed.
All I have done is state the rules and what I witnessed in person being literally right there and able to see what was off camera. I got attacked on all aspects and defended myself.
You are 100% correct. It's totally obvious who the morans are.
And YES... around these parts, it is MORAN... not moron...

Thanks Buzz Killington.
I tought about something and I think it has happened to a lot of us when we race (in my case of course at really low level compared to SX)
So, you holeshot and you know you have 20 guys behind you, you start seeing yellow flags, red closs flags even the red flag.
You have your adrenaline high! and you start slowing down but you have two things in mind.
You don't want to slow down so much because you don't know how much the guys behind are going to and also you don't want anyone who doesn't see the flags to land on you.
So that's why I think justin started to see behind and started rolling but accelerating a bit in order to not get landed.

A couple of thoughts, perhaps the red flag is only called for when the Mule UTV is needed on the track to transport a rider?
Also wondering why Alex still has his helmet on? It seems like concussion protocol is to apply ice to the head asap, and that may even be a cooler full of it on the UTV? Anybody know?
This is a racing forum, what do you expect to find here, especially with an off week?
