Heard he had a nasty crash and was carted off. Anyone there see it? Hope he’s alright. Cool seeing Euros come over for some SX

Hey at least he gave it a shot!
Ballsy effort stepping out of his comfort zone that's for sure,

Any thoughts on why theres no SXdN
because there would only line up 3 nations USA Australia and France, on the plus side you could send the entire USA pack just divided under Puerto Rico, Hawaii etc so it would not make any difference as most nations are not able to send 3 riders that could actually compete

The main reason is that a man made sand track on a car racing circuit in Holland would deteriorate too much by first practice.

Interesting how Americans are considered to be so slow now days..... When the current world champ is putting in slower laps in Vegas than Jett Lawrence.....

Mainly formed in Europe riding EMX85, Dutch, French and German Championship 85 and then 250cc on European scene. But to go back on topic, Tixier is normally one of the few guys I would pick to send over for MEC events but also for Bercy, Genova, ... kind of events. I'm bumped for the kid he's one of the nice guys in the paddock. A nice memo fish between a lot of idiotic sharks.

They showed the crash on the stream. He tried the quad on the reverse track (or 2+table). Came up a little short, ejected and slammed the ground. Nasty. Hope he is fine apart from the concussion

^Wilson crashed in the same spot (the broadcast didn't catch it). He was taken off on a stretcher.

Jesus.....


His head hit incredibly hard.... that is not good in any way, shape, or form. Wow. You don't often see guys hit the backs of their heads like that.

Unfortunately I had one ski racing at about 50mph when I was 19, got turned and smashed like that... struggled for months with the recovery. Years ago now, before we knew what concussions do to you.
