[QUOTE="jboomer, post: 728859, member: 27524"] I did record it. I think you are right in assuming that Reed could have at least stayed up right without taking out KW. KW's foot looked to almost get caught up in Reeds front wheel, that's how close they came to each other. But, it appears that as Reed hit the last kicker coming into the turn, his back wheel kicked up, maybe preventing him from getting the braking he felt he needed to keep himself from nailing Windham. I think he either lost a little confidence (focus) there for a split second that he would have enough time to slow down to prevent hammering KW AND keep upright or was so hard on his brakes that the front end washed out. It's kinda tough to see....either way though he made an honest decision and I can respect that. I think the reasoning behind the rule is good. Maybe the penalty is a little harsh (or at least should be tailorable to the severity of the incident AND if it appeared to be intentional or not), but I think the riders will test the waters a bit in the next few races in order to determine just how far the AMA will let them go. Yes they're riding a bit timid now, but it's taking some adjustment for them. They'll get it sorted out. I doubt the AMA wants the rule to be taken as far as it is now, they just want to prevent the kind of riding that puts EVERYONE at risk. It'll be all good soon enough. [/QUOTE]
