There is no doubt that the sport is dangerous but your comment is ridiculous.

You have obviously never watched or competed in a MX event if you have that view.
I have personally stuffed up hundreds of times on MX bikes and I'm still typing.

Andrew was a very talented rider and it is a tragedy that he was killed.

Unfortunately most motor sports carry the risk of serious injury or death but then again more people die driving to work than on the track.

i found this out while at another mx track that day, kinda made me think twice.

as for heavyduty comments, not every crash ends bad. iv fallen off more times than i can think of, most end in nothing, or a very monor scratch or bruies. iv only broken both my wrists, and poped both my knees in 12 year of racing motocross. i recon a football player would have more injurys!

Yeah heavy stuff, the tracks this year have been dangerous, they just really over water them, to them point where. . . well you get the point. There were some real dangerous parts on that track, even on the track walk you could hear Ando saying this section right here someone is gonna bin it. Same section, 2 corners after passing my mate, Andrew dies, heavy shit...

ride in peace sharky
