I took a nasty crash on the big uphill double today.....Somehow I missed a gear going off the face of it and got slammed to the ground. Same buddy that found the go pro was right there to help me off the track lol.

I believe it was my buddy..... He is a good dude . Still plenty of good people in this world !

Just a thought from an outsider: These guys like Reynard raced for a living. They took in large sums of money to do so. In any other sport, once a pro always a pro. Never to have "amateur" status again. I have always wondered why LL's/AMA are different. Several earlier posts have it right...

No Husabergs?

Let me chime in as a 30 some year old that just got back into riding a couple years ago: I rode BC at their last practice day. There were several jumps that I did not hit including the finish line jump, the uphill double (even though I should have) and I doubled the downhill triple instead of...

Just outside the Portsmouth area.

I know plenty of riders who would bring the equipment and let you expand to southern Ohio!! On second thought, it's probably cheaper to just make the 2.5 hour drive. Looking forward to the next trip already!

First time at BC this weekend and well worth the drive from southern Ohio. The track was excellent and I was amazed how much seat time we got in. Tracks down here have open practice and rarely can we get 2 hours riding in if we are there most of the day. We loved being able to ride till we were...

Wouldnt homeowners coverage take care of a bike that was stolen from the residence or burnt up in a fire??? I think it would, so what would be the difference in buying a separate policy for a bike? I would also think that if it was stolen out of the back of the pickup truck at a store it would...

Correct. Sometimes my brain goes faster than my fingers!

I dont see what the fuss was about. The track worker holding the red cross flag was standing on the last jump. RV passed him on the last jump. They cant pass under a red cross. The end. You could argue that Stewie should have held an inside line down that section of the track so RV couldnt get...

I have to agree with others that I lost all respect for RV. I also dont agree with the rule. If it is a 3 position penalty at the end of the race for doing it, thats what it should be. The restart shouldnt allow him to make those places up. The entire rule needs overhauled. This isnt even the...

We are driving the 4 hours to Indy Saturday morning and then driving back directly after the race is over. It makes for a long day, but there is a big group that goes so its not that bad.

When pro golfers started hitting the ball 325 yards off the tee due to better equipment, Augusta National and others decided to make their courses longer/harder to offset it. The tracks from the 80's arent going to be hard for 450's today, but look at how hard they were for the pro riders then...

I agree. I watched a race from 1996 (I think) when Emig denied McGrath of running the table at round 14. The track was completely different from what they run now. The whoops seemed to be an entire length of the stadium track. They had multiple lines to make passes. In nearly all sections it...
