    I did that first one once from the exit of 4 till the crest of 5. I don't think it was quite as bad as that though but I had to check my pants afterwards. Sometimes you just don't wanna let go. or its over so fast you just think, what the fuck just happened and keep on riding.

    I learned the hard way going off T1 at Loudon what Knapp and most experienced track riders/racers know...if you go off, don't look down. Keep looking out ahead of your bike. That was an insane save.

    Nice luck.

    This also gives me the opportunity to say how much I hate when people take video of a fucking tv and post it online. Get tech savy or delete your youtube.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Holy crap! That Knapp save was INSANE!!!
    Anyone got video of Stefano Mesa's crash in Supersport Race 2? That was gnarly too. (he did crash though)
