In the video, Stewart was aiming to the right side of the track and had to go left because the guy was running across there, got cross rutted and that was that. Damn. And I'll bet money his wrist is broken. When he got off the bike, he had the "something's broken" walk.
I see it about the same and it is much easier to be critical in slow motion from the couch.

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

What a bunch of morons - He obviously was aiming for the right side of the track but had to go left into all the deep ruts, got cross rutted and crashed. If the jackass wasn't running across the track, he'd be sitting in the truck with 25 more points right now. I swear, VitalMX shouldn't let people post if they've never raced. Or at least make a CouchMoto forum for them.

The James GoPro Video - They need to show that at race speed, not slow motion.

Just got off the phone with a friend who is pitting for Kevin Rookstool. He got the whole crash on video and said all the media guys are trying to buy it from him. I told him to sell it to GuyB.

He said Stewart lost his balance in that section, held the throttle on, and it catapulted him over the bars. Said the track worker had nothing to do with it.
oohh snap..

I guess we'll never know for sure whether it 100% caused the crash but it certainly must have been a distraction - so at the very least one can't help but think it contributed. Either way the guy shouldn't have been there.

Damn, I hope we still have a race. Wind is going to be pretty sketchy over some of those jumps. Also hope the best for JS.

Which one of you goons has ridden that speed and can comment on whether that was enough of a distraction/adjustment to cause a crash in ruts about a foot and a half deep?

I'll wait.

so because I have never been a National Pro I cant see that he was no where near the flagger, never even changed his line, didnt even glance over at him, and then he crashes more than 100 feet past the guy..... and im clueless? Really?

Maybe you are clueless because you cant see that the FMOTP made mistake and crashed all by him self.... again!

I'm sure James has never gone past a downed rider safely before either Whistling

I'm excited he's been racing the outdoors, and saddened that this has happened but c'mon, this is not the first time in his life as a racer he's seen something like that.

when james lands, the guy is totally off the track and no where near him. if you pause it at that point, james lands then goes by a big gap where where eqiupment goes in an out of the track, goes by a lucas oil banner, red bull banner, racer x banner, alpinestar banner, fmf banner, a banner i couldn't read, and crashed at about the etnies banner. probably a good 100 ft or more.

But, this is not to say his concentration wasn't jacked up and he had a brain fade and crashed...

I don`t even bother anymore. Only time some on here would say that it was a cause of the crash is if Stewart would smear that guy`s` brains on a numberplate. Pathetic.

I think the complete opposite.

I think if you have raced you will know that that guy had nothing to do with James binning it all by himself in the rut. It happened about 20-30 yards further down the track and James still had numerous lines to choose from.

He crashed all by himself.

This.

But I'd also like to point out that Reed was correct when he questioned why they would create a mud bog on a fast straight. I don't understand having a track watered so much.

I can definitely see how that was the main contributing factor at those speeds, frame by frame is pointless when evaluating this one. Also who put that mud there; God or the track crew because that seems a bit excessive on the water unless it was caused by rain.

I think James knows what caused the crash a bit better than you
