Might need some help with my memory. Maybe Bobby and some of you other old timers can help.

Fighting for the title in the last round of a mx series. Might have been the battle of new orleans, but not absolutely sure. Memory ain't what it used to be.

Pants buckle breaks and pants fall down. Grossi continues on trying to earn points. Ends up crashing into a fence and breaking leg.

If memory serves, after he crashed into the fence at New Orleans, he was yelling at spectators to not help him, for fear of DQ for outside assistance. He picked it out of the fence, and continued on to finish, albeit losing the championship.

I think he broke his leg prior to that in a local race (Watsonville ?). Not sure if the britches had anything to do with it.

Like I said, memory isn't what it used to be.

Just remembered reading an interview with him where I could swear he crashed and broke his leg because his pants kept falling down.

Hard to believe even the sugar bear would put in that much effort at a local race when he was showing his ass, literally.

In 2001 I believe Jeremy also complained about his pants falling down (No Fear gear) mid race during some of the earlier rds apparently. Bit of a stretch to say it hurt his title hopes but I'm sure it was a distraction.

Is Billy a piece of shit too because his pants broke, or is it just Eli?

Simple question, really. Didn't you read any of the other threads? Eli is a joke, because he crashed and his pants broke.
