It feels like Broc Tickle might be the only rider who could do better without PC, seems like his bikes brakes every weekend

I am trying to find out if it was a spectator who jumped the fence, or a flagman or a photographer (which has been a problem before). As far as the leader not being followed the whole time, they are 14 cameras to cover 40 riders on a mile-long track. I'm sorry, but it's impossible to stay on the leader the whole time. In SX it's possible, but not on a giant motocross track on the side of a mountain.

They have had a 450 class win. Mikes win was on a 350. Not sure why they've forgotten.

They are asking every photographer and now the track crew and flaggers in that area, man apparently had a yellow shirt on... Like the caution flaggers and infield crew are all wearing. We are also getting the GoPro footage from James himself to see what exactly happened.

Man, I hope he's okay.

He won a moto or 2 back in 2007 if I recall correctly?

BTW, I wonder if it was this guy who went across the track

it was a clean fucking track ahead of the leader so why cant the camera that the leader is passing be on the leader??????????????? Whats he doing waiting on someone to come by and NOT FILM THEM COMING BY??? I can see if there was a bunch of lappers or something but the camera guys only have a certain amount of feet of the track that their camera can film anyways. WHEN THE LEADER IS COMING BY ALL ALONE GET IT ON CAMERA FOR REPLAY SITUATIONS IF YOUR NOT GONNA SHOW IT ON TV. I mean damn if you dont have enough cameras to catch the leader coming by when he is BY HIMSELF then you need to hire more camera men. Can you not read? The last 2 rounds thats all we have been complaining about is the coverage of stupid shit... like 5 mins of a rider in 5th riding by himself while dungey and stew battling for the lead and theres... 1 min left. Damn man im pissed i want to know if stew is lien and if he isnt then i wanna see what this dip shit looks like and everyone should be able to know his name and address.... Smile
