I’m gonna opt to dumbgeon myself on this one. Posted this notnfor views but solely so Mike is known for what he’s become as over the past few years he’s caused a lot of problems at local tracks. I didn’t think of Christian or his family at the time of posting as I don’t really relate them in thought. Christian is his own man and has built a great life for himself and his family. I personally don’t view him as “Mike’s kid” but ultimately some people will so I’m gonna move this.

Had a few people send this over, apparently the guy getting choked out at Glen Helen today was Mike Craig...

No idea but possibly some new SOAD music this year so that's good.

Someone has to have the backstory on that clip?

Oh wow.

Best defense while being choked from behind is to reach back and start destroying his nads, as long as it's a dude

From the IG comments, it sounds like Ryan Surratt was the dude fighting Mike, then Chance Blackburn is the guy choking him?

Bitch move of the second guy to jump in from behind and start choking him and screaming like hes tough. I know we dont have the full story, but the dude coming in from behind looked unnecessary when it was clearly one on one.

No idea what started it but according to the comments it's Craig that started it with some kid.

Story will eventually come out.

No, Surratt isn't part of this thing with Mike Craig. Surratt and the Chance guy got into prior to this.

This is what I got from Langham's insta post before it got deleted.

"For everyone’s information “the guy in the yellow” was choking him out because the kid in the fight was laying on the ground while Mike Craig was still hitting him. Like any decent friend or even human being, the guy in the yellow broke it up by putting him in a choke hold and making him say mercy, if he wanted to hit him he would and could have but he didn’t. He was the only one that tried to break it up as people watched so get your facts straight before you run your mouth @ all you"

He certainly looks lively at the end of the video for someone who was laying on the ground getting hit.

Somewhat relevant/ironic

About 10 years ago now I was up at Cahuilla Creek with my brother doing motos. My brother was chasing me down, our lines crossed, he ate shit pretty hard.

Back at the truck my brother comes in, drops his bike, and rips me from the back of the truck onto flat ground..My wind is totally knocked out and my brother proceeds to just pummel me. Fists, Kicks, everything. I couldnt fight back seeing as how I couldnt breath....the entire time this is happening, Mike Craig is the truck NEXT to us, and watches everything go down from a fold out chair 5 feet away. Never once stepped in or said a single word. Just sat their watching the ever living hell beat out me....

To this day, I harbor more ill feelings towards Mike Craig than I do my own brother during that incident....Never understood what kind of piece of shit can stand back and watch someone who cant fight back get the hell beat out of em

Kid stepping in is clearly a little douche bitch. Real tough & you're so hard jumping in on someone else's fight. I have no idea of the circumstances but if he's helping his friend you pull his ass off of him, you don't proceed to choke someone out from behind while they're fighting someone else & then get to scream like a coward thinking your tough. I don't know any of the parties or story but thats a bitch move if I ever seen one... js

Well Christian posted something on instagram saying that hes embarrassed to see that video going around and that he hasnt associated with mike craig (he calls him by name, not dad) in years and that hed basically would like people to stop asking him about Mike Craig and that hes worked too damn hard to create a life and family that he never had. Sucks for Christian to have to deal with that shit especially when hes a good kid and a great father.

This is correct. Guy in yellow is chance and the guy that mike Craig was beating was chances friend Jake. Jakes a good dude too.

Back in the 90s, wasn’t the Mike Craig leg injury “tripped over a doc Marten in the hotel room” actually an arse kicking from Larry Brooks for nailing Larry’s girlfriend or something? I remember some story like that. ?

Post a reply to: Mike Craig choked out at Glen Helen?
