What's the verdict, is he hurt?

He was so close to rolling out of that crash without incident if his shoulder would have cleared the apex of that whoop....😑

Probably too early to say, but see how sore it gets before deciding to race today or not?

Probably too early. RDL said he'll rest up. Didn't mention if he'll be out for the afternoon. I guess we'll see how it goes in the second qualifying session if he lines up. He had a good enough time that he could sit it out and line up for the first main. 

Might be better to skip the second session.

looks like a controlled bailout attempt. Positives: he didn't get launched over bars ahead of his bike, piledriven into ground head 1st, landed on, etc. Going to be sore for sure but hopefully won't keep him out of the main.

Yes, and this was probably his last opportunity to clinch another SX-title.

Would have guessed shoulder injury rather than hip. Still a bummer regardless, I hope he can be back at 100% for outdoors…

Oh no.  I hate to see this.  This means we’ll also inevitably hear “he didn’t have any competition” if 96 wins the title.

I'm cheering for Kenny now, Hunter will have time to get a title.

I wouldn’t blame him if he hung it up this year. It’s been a rough go the last few seasons. He’s a legend and I’m glad he’s still giving it a go but maybe family time is the way
