If you've ever been passed by Jeff or Scott up there, you'll know the results are astonishing. most people are feathering the throttle from 6 all the way though 8. Not fast or consistent!

yea i know what you mean, i sit pretty forward in general (always drag the top half of my puck) I should probably work on sitting back farther. I haul through the back side, but I suppose its when i go from leaning left in 7 to leaning right in 8 i guess i hesitate on the gas or something, like roll it off and back on quick to settle the front end as i change direction.

never said I was better.

Anyway, any injury from that one? you roll all the way to the fence or stop? That's the bowl, right?

I walked away and pushed my bike to the pits. And raced again the next day. Bumps and bruises.


This crash among other reasons is why I refuse to deal with Quentin Mize as my bridgestone track support. Backwards tires, bad pressures advised and bad pressures set. Then the promise to look into the problem the following race weekend and never bothering to even show up to the track.

Slightly more than strikes and gutters, man... shit. That one shot looks like the bike was chasing you down. Way to land on your feet.

[hessogood]

That bike flung me off like a booger. I have video somewhere from Sampson's bike that was in 3rd place. You can catch a glimpse of my body flipping and spinning through the air.

[Paul_E_D]

That's a great sequence. You were taking a beating for sure.
I was never caught on film crashing, but I wish a was.

[akira700]

Nevermind Jay...
How was the bike, man?

[theothersean]

There must be something wrong with my computer, I can't see bob's pics of me laying all over the ground.

Before and after shots. Racing with your buddy is great until he takes you out. Buddy squares off into me, and takes me out while running 3rd at Southwick. 250lb riders hit hard, and don't even know it. Only crash pic I have. They're hard to come by.

Knobby, you never saw him coming cause you were lookin straight at your fender! Great pic of the bike crunching you

I once highsided and the bike landed on me...3 times! Glad it was a 125. I broke both my hands, but a 600 might have killed me.

No, I saw him. My eyes were looking ahead even though it doesn't look that way. Most of the time I have my head tilted down, and the eyes look up just under the visor. Just habit, but it works for me.
I just held my line, and didn't give him any ground. Probably should have, 'cause I knew he was going to hit me. Just didn't think it would be that hard.
