this bums me out seeing double d down.. seems like every rider that comes out of d5 or d6 ends up falling off the map or getting too hurt to keep racing. hope he can stay healthy all summer
Durham, what else is new.........You are almost as bad as Davalos, but he can actually get somewhat of a season in......
AH - I'm putting my faith in you to fix something that the the other RacerX doods never could......I think we may finally have the technology to match the correct rider photo with the text.
I'm going to St. Louis but I have the DVR set to record at 11 and 1:30, central time here. It's nice they planned the taped broadcast around me!
We all know if you ride, injuries are part of MX. (I've had my share of getting banged up, and you probably have too.).......but My God, reading this injury report makes me scratch my head and think about selling my bike and gear, but ..............nope! Roll the dice instead.
