The injury list is much bigger than the NFL injury list. WTF is going on???
Wow!!! There is enough riders out to fill the whole line on the gate. These dudes are gnarly man!!!!!
Just don't wanna see and title contenders go down with an injury
I think this is the first I heard that Canard is out for the nationals, or least most of them this year. Man, he's been sidelined a lot. Reminds me a bit of Reynard's career.
I saw in an interview that he thought his injuries would be much worse if he didn't have the neck brace on. That may not be scientific, but just one guy's opinion, one guy who has had a bike land on his back.
I feel real bad to see both of the Hahn brothers out for injury 2 years in a row! I hope that Wil can get a win this year in Supercross in the Main Event. Heal up soon boys! :)
I'm wondering if fuel injection has changed the dynamics of the bike's or made the riders overconfident. No doubt the bikes are faster than ever. I do like motocross, but not Roman Gladiators.
How come Dungey isn't ever on here?
