Sad Day

:( Sending out my Prayers..
Rick

They'll be in my prayers too.

These tragic incidents are happening too often. Regardless of how the riders were injured today, I'd like to see tracks putting more effort into safety. Limit the # of bikes on the track, stagger practice sessions by ability, more flaggers, etc....... Our sport needs a greater focus on safety at tracks.

I've ridden at Hungry Valley 3 times in the past two years. Each time I felt the safety issues were not taken seriously enough. The place is a zoo on weekends. After my last visit (9 months ago), I decided never to ride their again.

unfortunately, i heard that the incident was fatal.:(

damn, i have a 12 year-old daughter that races.

My 10 year old son didn't think people could die racing dirtbikes. I talked to him about it but I could tell it still bothered him, as it did eveyone.

i live in diamond bar,ca.
i have close friends who chose not to ride after an incident riding my xr-50....actually an accident that had them rushing to a emergency room to get stiched up...4 in the morning.
i sometimes go to hungry valley by myself and ride my yz250 alone.
this worries my friends...
what's the worst thing that could happen??....break a leg?
obviouly a lesson in this tragedy...u could die..

sadly the sport i grew love for, not only takes tremendous time.effort and money,
but a high risk of my well being.
is it all worth it?
i don't know..but i know this accident will be erased in my little heads by the time i twist that throttle.
i personally switched from street bikes to dirt bikes,safety was the factor.
i really dont like riding around 3000lb wrecking balls guided by who knows?

my prayer goes out to her and her family.
