At this point why not make the tracks harder, and give the AMA and Feld Ent. they're pound of flesh. the last man still "alive" wins, just cut to the chase and go gladiator. Come on ! that will be much more fun to watch over hot dogs and beer. Imo

All rider error. Had nothing to do with the track.

plus the majority happened during practice not in race environments. spend enough time on a dirt bike and you will crash, crash enough times and sooner or later the injury will be severe.

What they said. On a far more important note...
When is the gear JS is wearing going to be available?

you say that tc and rm are rider error... i don't know how i feel about that?.?.?   tc made a mistake but wasn't it cause of the tough block?  and rm jumped the obstacle and landed on tc who wouldn't be there without the tough block.

It was a cluster from the begging. But a triple is a triple. To blame that on the track would be dumb.

agreed. but i also wouldn't blame either rider. it just happened!  this is like the 3rd or 4th dumb post about this. tracks evolve and they should with susp.  they are just as safe as they were before... ITS
