It was an impressive 2nd moto for sure , no doubt about it. He's one tough friggin' kid. Not sure why you need to take a stab at everyone else on the gate though.

did nt mean it like that , just mean that he must of been in a lot of pain and shows how great a rider he is . imo anyone who whos in the to 40 is an unreal rider to me . just think KROC been getting a hard time around here lately . and that ride was more impressive to me than tomac s

Impressive and gritty for sure. He's still in this championship? I didn't think broken backs healed that fast. Not like a guy racing into shape. His back is tucked he's done

Lots of guys have raced injured, just part of moto.

example; This year, the Arlington round of Supercross RJ Hampshire finished 7th, after the race RJ went to the hospital and found out he was racing with broken ribs, a bruised lung with some small punctures and some internal bleeding.

I could not believe he hit that FLY150 in the beginning of the second moto. He also came up a bit short and did not downside it properly. Seemed foolish to me after watching him struggle with pain in the first moto.

Better living through chemistry. I hope he is not trading present day glory for long term health.

If you hit it perfect it is less stress to your back.
But if you not hit it perfect I don't want to be on that bike!

So if you are brake baggett, one of the fastest 250 riders on the planet a couple years ago, and cant get past kroc in the second moto, who has a broken back and is riding the same brand of bike, what the heck do you do?

Keep your head down and your chin up. Push push push. Go Brake Brackett.

Amazing what a cortizone shot will do. He shouldn't be out there, he may do long term damage to himself. It's admirable, but...

purely guessing, but maybe he thought he could go, or tried to go without one the first moto and realized that didn't work so well.
