    I just saw this and my mouth is still wide open .... There was so much wrong happening and totally at the wrong spot on the track.

    Watch that KX rider in front of Herlings ...


    I guess he's ok ...He ran back over to the bike ...

    Picked it up and went on to grab 7th - Not to shabby seeing how bad his bike was bent up.

    those mx/sx/mxgp guys are just tough, when you read about their training regimens you realize they are in incredible shape; I don't think the general public has a clue how fit these guys really are

    When I first watched that back end swap, I thought of Reed when he launched

    Yep looked like CR22 ... When he launched, I thought he was going deep deep into the crowd or something worst ... He was actually back on the seat pretty good when he was going over the lip ... Did you see the official there? He was buzzed .... PROs seem to ride it out unless they see that they are gonna come up short and then might bail ...

    When he went behind the sign, I thought it was over for him ...

    YEP, he got up and rode to 7th place ... His points lead is huge already... He did have to do that ... Is he reported as hurt today?

    When I saw that crash I was totally amazed he not only got right up, but ran after his bike. Then just a quick goggle adjustment and back after it. Will be interesting how he does on a 450, because he currently owns MX2 class.

    Pretty sure he signed on for another season on a 250

    Yeah, makes sense. KTM doesn't want him eating TC's lunch ;)

    I think after next season on the 250 he's gonna drop back down to the super mini class to try and rack up a few more titles. :lol:
