Crashes

Duncan riffle... Ok i hear..

Dean myers... dean broke a collar bone... He had full gear...

Dave mc cook... Ok but dented my tt helmet...

I thought the course was safe.... They added a lot of extra barriers, 6 foot fences, and hay bales...

if they had a series of these and i could make ok money i would quit road racing and do them all...

This was a great event to go to... The athletes were all super cool and the vibe was real chill... We treated great by jon mesko at giant and the redbull staff... And bcore did event productions and they were all cool too... If ever crit could be so much fun it would be nice...

They just need to come up with a better spectator format... Like using a street luge type course so you can see more action and do 2 up instead of 4... Like do a match sprint format...

yeah...

i talked to those guys at length about the race.. they are GREAT event planners... part of why that race is so good is that they want a lot of feedback on the format.. the idea is to develop it and make it a spectator event...

this year was a dry-run to see what it would be like and wht the riders would say about the format... having spectators would be just too much to control in the first year... they really were focused on event logistics and course safety...

in the future there will be more venue and street-luge type venues that are very spectator freindly... i am confident that this event will be something that gets bigger if the giant bikes and redbull stay with it...

I'm Tony, but you know that already. Erik, you should leave up the comments so that we can follow the drama. I enjoyed reading Staffers comments even though one could tell it was slightly staged (else the guy is a serious idiot), it really adds to the fun of your site.

Anyway, nice work at the the Red Bull Road Rage and on this site.

i thought of it for a while.. but its so distractng from the real point of the whole post that i deleted that comment and all the comments relating to it...

there was the one "staffer" comment and then a whole slew of comments telling him he was stupid... it was a bit much... i maybe would have let it stand if poeople wouldnt have taken it seriously and commented a bunch of harsh stuff back on him.. i just didnt dig on the vibe...

and it leads me to ask 2 things... 1) that folks tht know me let me defend myself.. stuff that sounds out of character for me probably is a hoax... 2) that people not take all this so seriously in the first place... and not to use 4 letter words in your posts...
