    My first Race start. I am third from the right of the screen.

    Mine is funny. (scary as hell when it happened but funny now.)

    Its not that hard and a lot of people on the track actually aren't that good at it. Practicing on a MX bike really helps.

    I remember you teaching me how to do it on the starting grid right before the race.

    Nice one Doc. That's you waving your hands up in the air like there is no tomorrow, right? Good job making sure the other riders see you.

    I thought you were asking for a hall pass to go to the loo....

    All bullshit aside, I assume that's how it's supposed to be done? At least the guys behind you knew what was going on. Someone should teach boos that move :

    I did. I'm just busting on Eric because he & I almost had an incident a few weeks back when he stalled. In all fairness I'm not sure if he even had time to signal, we were same wave. I'm just being a dick

    If you look at my latest stall (nice that both are on video huh?) I did not wave. I should have but was to busy trying to start the bike.

    If a anyone cares to keep up on Tristan Lentink and his condition, here you go.

    Still alive and had surgery on his legs today. He got really messed up.. busted up his lower half from pelvis, legs, knee, numerous musles and badly lacerated bladder and internal injuries.

    You'll need translate enabled as it's in dutch.

    No time to wave at all. I had some forward motion, then the bike cut out and then restarted. That was the race that I later had to retire from because I melted my cam position sensor.

    Slammp.... honest mistake. People laugh at other people getting hurt all the time. Sure the video is horrible and hits home for a lot of people but I can see where the comment came from. That doesn't mean I find it funny, just sayin you didn't offend me or anything.
    to this. If it was a car crash im sure the opinions would differ.
