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.

Anyone know what happened to Hahn?
Even Weege seemed surprised he dropped back so far, but timing showed him "out"

I was out working at High Point -- can only mow with a bad knee -- and came home to watch.

Kongols, Cigaro, where are those crash photos coming from?! Are they anymore?

I feel like a damn virtual detective.

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
For cripes sake, take a Valium and chill out bro!

I'm liking the track, I think it may suit the MM and KR now.

Disgusting if true what happened with James.

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.

so we see all 40 riders on camera do we? i call bullshit

Hey DC,

You should have a talk with the track crew and medics. Last week at freestone one of the medics actually drove up the backside of a jump while dungey was coming up the other side in practice, lucky dungey had enough time to go around him but that is pretty unexceptionable, they shouldnt cross the track unless it is absolutely clear.

Sounds like a track worker. I doubt anyone has to go find him and beat him up, I imagine he feels bad enough already. Nobody does something like that just for the hell of it, obviously he didn't know Stewart was that close.

If Stewie has a broken wrist, that'll sure make the weirdest series killer in moto history.

If I was that track worker, I would just quietly leave the track, maybe even knock out a fan and steal his clothes...Smile

My brother once broke his wrist on a jump, he thought the throttle cable snapped because the bike wouldn´t go even though he tried. Then he looked and saw his hand in 90 degree angle...
