SX, different.
When Bowers was disqualified, Blair took his shirt off.
That’s main event, last lap shit.
I think its high time the AMA does something about this kind of crap. Going for an agressive pass is so much different than targeting another roder. Lots of people on here call SX Deathcross and bitching about riders getting injured but they are Ok with this worthless shit. You just can’t please everyone.
I will agree that the AMA doesn’t hand out penalties equally and they pick and choose who, why and when a little too willy nilly for me. They need to state the rules by which penalties will be handed out and stick to them not matter who it is. So yeah the AMA is culpable on this situation.
Yep you can't do that, you are DQed, but we will use it to promote the sport to the masses for weeks on end.

They should stick to Disney on Ice and Monster Jam.
FWIW , I thought the DQ was bullshit. I dig both dudes a bunch , but I have seen plenty of take outs over the years that put that one to shame , and neither rider got DQ'd. Dock him some starting gate picks or something , but don't take him out of the race. Shit happens in racing , and if you start DQ'ing guy's for moves like that , I think they are going in the wrong direction.
My one issue with punishment for “retaliation” is that the riding who does the initial deed never really gets punished. . So the the best course of action is to always be the aggressor like JA21, go around running into guys, take some warnings but if someone like Seely or Baggett cleans him they get the DQ.
I don’t like the “retaliation” punishment. The initial aggressor always has the advantage. Just like JA21 better to always be the aggressor. If Seely or Baggett ever really smash him they’ll be DQed.
Bowers got DQ'ed for something that happened in the very next race, in the highlight reel for the break and has been done 10 times by the guy he did it too.
And i'd put money on him missing his brake, no-one attempts a take out that way and gives themselves no chance at riding out of it, especially not an arenacross champ who probably has taken out loads of people legitimately and knows how to do it!
Pit Row
Pathetic.
I actually think Barcia wasn’t even that mad about it
Dumb move...dumb.
