Id drive straight home and give that bike away to the neighbor kid whose family cant afford a bike or even a vacation for that matter. Id even give him a set of gear. No way that kid would ride again until he saved enough money to buy his own damn bike.

What gives me the right? I look at it as a safety issue for everyone else on the track with him. This was at the end of the whoop section. If you fail to see how that's a problem, there's not much I could do to convince you otherwise.

Oh, and thanks for stopping by...for your brief two-post account.

This is actually one of my close family friends son. He was riding 250C, he's 17, and this was actually the SECOND chain he broke in as many days while racing there this wknd. I understand his frustration but this kind of reaction is just immature and he does honestly know better. He's honestly a good natured, respectful, and hard working kid. I'm sure his emotions just got the better of him and he's regretting it now for sure. But honestly snap 2 chains in 2 days!? How does that even happen? User error, bad maintenance, bad sprockets, defect? Idk. What I do know is in close to 25 years of racing I've only ever broke a chain 1 time while riding and it was a manufacturer defect so something is definitely amiss here. I feel bad for him for all the time and money he and his family spent all for nothing.

I can see him upset but to leave his bike where another rider could hit it? There is no excuse for that, that should come natural to him. Push it off the track then have the temper tantrum. I blame poor parenting.

I'm sorry , but I gotta say something here.

"thanksguyb "......I'm not sure if you're this kids dad or what? maybe you were ( I said " were " ) posting to help defend your kid or whatever. I can understand that. But what gives GuyB the right to post this pic , is because he shot the pic and runs this site. Maybe a little embarrassment on your end? I'm sure your kid is a good kid , that just had a bad day.

BUT....what GuyB and others have posted about it " Not being cool , or safe since he left his damn bike in the middle of a whoop section "....seems to be 100% correct on what most people would think.

Maybe take a step back and realize your kid did something completely stupid? And NOT cool as far as that goes.

Jeffro, I don't think it was his parent. More likely one of our old repeat customers from Santee who has a love/hate relationship with Vital.

...drop it in the middle of the track.
...run to the side, and start beating on the Tuf-Blox with your fists.
...then stomp away like a spoiled child, leaving the bike in the middle of the track for other riders to hit, and for someone else to pick up.

Lame.

Bit like calling Peick "lame" and "spoilt" for kicking his bike off the stand that time he got knocked out of the LCQ at Daytona a few years ago, no? You don't know the story behind this kid, maybe he borrowed the bike and it was a pile of shit hence why he didn't want it back.
