Even though the posts are a couple years old....i think it happened after the accident since one of the boys lost a foot.
The one boy Scott looks to be a pretty good INT rider >>>> The 250 Intermediate race was an all-out war between Bryce Vallee, Scott Agostini, Elia Zinetti and Michael Leib. Vallee went 1-1 with Agostini getting second with a 2-3. Michael Leib went 6-2, after a fall in moto one, but couldn't handle Vallee in moto two. Bryce Vallee would come back to win the 450 Intermediates later in the day. Link here >>>> http://www.motocrossactionmag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=news&mod…
WTF we're they doing riding in an area where there might be cars or trucks....sounds like teenage stupidity to me.

a simple mistake can change your life in a second.... doesnt mean your stupid
With all of that, they think they have a leg to stand on in court because of shrubbery?
To me, this is such a prevalent probelm in our society today. Nothing is my fault and if something happens, then I'll just sue.
This is like the Raleigh bicycle case that went to court because some dumbass rode the bike at night and hit a car. Raleigh was at fault beacuse they didn't put a sticker on the bike warning you that riding at night is dangerous. They ended up settling out of court for a big wad of cash.
I'm sympathetic for the person that suffered the injury, but they were completely at fault.
You brought up Raleigh bicycle's lawsuit.....I remember hearing the one about RV'S. If you own one, look in your manual and you'll most likely see a warning that if you use the cruise control option, you CAN NOT get up and leave the driver's seat.
Apperently there was an idot that set the "auto cruise" and then decided to go back and get a pop out of the fridge. After the Rv crashed, he sued the maker for not warning him that this was not ok.
Sometimes it is just nature weeding out the stupid.
Pit Row
I hope the city wins this one.
But, it's very sad that it happened. Such is life.
If they were there and knew the kids were out there, then yeah, a good part of responsibility lies with them. But if they were not at home and didn't know the two were out riding around on the street, then I can't see puting any blame on them.
You can teach your kids right from wrong til' your blue in the face, but when your not there for a minute, it is up to them to make the decision and take the responsibility of their actions.
Bad accident indeed, but the bottem line is...they should not have been out on the road.
the worst part is when I broke my leg in november of 07 my mom was asking me if I called a lawyer about it. the 1st thing I asked is "why? it was my fault" and she goes "well the boots shouldnt have flexed like that and let your leg break" I hate to say it, but half of my family would do the same thing this family is trying to pull off.
I was basing my comment on the article. It says that the kids regularly rode their bikes around the neighborhood.
If you are a parent of a 13 year old, you should know where you kid is and what he/she is doing to a large extent. Especially when it comes to riding a motorcycle.
Then there is the basis for the lawsuit...the city should have made the intersection safe for the kids to do what they did. That implies that they feel it is expected and acceptable for the kids to be riding where they were. Thus, the parents are at fault.
So I agree they also are partly to blame.
I also think they, the parents, should pay any and all court fees for such a lame suit!
The only lawsuit I think could hold ground would be that of the passenger suing the driver(of the bike), even though I'm sure he was not forced to hop on the back.
Have you forgot where this took place? You live in Orange fucking County! Where is it even remotely legal to ride over there by San Juan Creek?
I don't care if it's a green, red, or f n purple sticker, you can't do it! I am assuming you have participated in this judicial nonsense already, so maybe you can take some of that motivation and focus on what you can do to change the LAWS. You give OC finest way too much credit, they are nothing more then pawns in the system.
Someone fucked up, it's sad, but take some god damn accountability for fucks sake!
I feel better now...carry on
And, for the sake of argument, say it wasn't illegal for them to cross the street. Still does not give them the right of way. The right of way belongs to those already in the normal flow of traffic. If they stopped and looked for cars prior to entering the traffic, it would not have happened.
Sad, but true. The specific incident is 100% the fault of the rider.
