2011 Chad Reed Crash-Millville(Official Speed TV Feed) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC4f9TCg4zw#ws)
Holy crap he was lucky. :o
-
Wow that was ugly.
-
Personally i think james stewarts crash at daytona was worse because chad reed landed on the grassy downward slope and james stewart landed head first on the hard packed dirt going pretty fast.
-
that's an ugly crash, seeing him landing from that height. jeez!!
strewart crash was nasty, he was so dizzy running back to his bike.
-
Chad Reed's crash was just epic. So cool compared to Stewarts.
-
Man, this shows what kind of athletes these guys are... If I were in his situation, Im sure I would've broke my legs and I dont think I could have been able to keep my self in that position. Reed is sick, I'm so happy that he didn't get hurt in that! 2011 National Champion right here fellas ;)
-
Yeah, at least he didn't get hurt or at least pull any muscles. I know my back, legs, and everything else would be toast!
-
Can you imagine how sore he had to be the day after the moto.... I bet every muscle / joint in his body ached
-
That's unbelievable. I'll agree, he's probably quite sore this week.
-
Madness! Proof that pro motocrossers are the toughest athletes in the world. ;-)
-
because chad reed landed on the grassy downward slope
Thats why I said he was lucky. ;D
-
Pretty amazing to get a 5th overall after that!
I guess I am a bit behind on my lingo, what did "roll up the windows" pertain to? Erin Bates said he had a lot of time to "roll up the windows" during his post race interview.

Kids of today and their cars with electric windows. :p refers to chaddles flapping his arms round like, well, he is winding up the windows in a car.
-
If he would've been on a 2 stroke, it would've started by the second kick :P
-
I was thinking the same thing....
-
If the bike was a 2T it may not have done that strange little dance in the first place. :-X
-
Probably half the reason the 4pigs are EFI these days, if it had a carb he would still be kickin now

Gracias. It looked more like swimming upstream, but fitting none the less.

Maybe, only because the pace would have been off by about 10 mph :P haha just kidding. As fast as those guys go anybody can catch a lil swap.
To come back from a crash like that and salvage the points lead was awesome. He passed 26 riders and set the 5th fastest lap time of the moto in traffic with a bent up bike....22 is a beast.
-
The guy was riding the bike like a two stroke and it bit him in the ass, lol. 4 strokes steer with the front wheel and two strokes steer with the rear simple as that. Also maybe this is a sign that we're kinda pushing it speed wise as this could have resulted in serious injury.
-
I completely agree ^^
-
I don't know. I've watched it over a dozen times now from all televised angles. That could have happened to anyone on any bike. There is a bump just before the face that sends him sideways. The jump is big so it launches you high to clear the second half. He went off the side making it look even higher than it was.
It a swapper and it doesn't matter what you ride - you are along for the ride.

Everyone has their opinion... No need to throw insults. He is one of our top posters and he will probably come back, read that and reply. Lets not start anything.

Im glad you saw this first ACMX, because I probably would have said some regrettable things.
But, rbigair40, respect is due when deserved, and I have lost respect for you sir.
I have been on this forum a short time and I already know that Sachs, along with factoryx, ACMX, vintage, and quite a few others are all good guys that truly care about helping other people. There is no need to call someone names because you disagree. Theres a fine-line between criticism and being a dick.
-
I appoligize for bigair's comment, Ive known him personally for 15 yrs and he definetly calls it how he see's it. SachsGS was probably joking but some people on here and Vital will post something silly like that and be serious, posts like that are funny because anyone would know Chads crash had nothing to do with the number of strokes his engine had. He probably just assumed he was serious and was poking a little fun...
I respect the guy because he's 40 something years old and been a local A rider for 20 years, he still makes it to Lorettas in a couple classes almost every year, he's actually getting ready to go back in +35 & +40. He used to be the guy on our t-shirts and trophys at the local races...he has absolutly no style what so ever but still goes FAST in both moto and woods.
-
I should apologize as well, I was a lil fired up at the time because I just got back from football(hellweek). This is the main problem with forums, you can never get a read on someone and their intended sarcasm, anger, etc. Kind of like online poker vs. real-life poker. Bigair, I am sorry I got super defensive, I just overreacted. No need for a flame-war eh :-X
-
No worries man. I just don't want this forum becoming like some of the others out there...

Cool crash,one of those that looks worse than it is. I bet he got dinged up on the bike more,than landing in the spongy grass,that is soft sand. The midwest has been having severe weather for months, so the ground is soft. But lets talk about those awesome whoops,man made for sure, the 1st set. I raced millville am. day in 97,when they had over 1,300 riders, practice day was crazy,the track was rougher than the day after the pro race. I talked to John Martin the track owner, about helping out on monday, and if I could ride then. The track on mon. wasn,t as rough, and the lines had great momentum. I rode with John,s pal, Mike Dourty a vet a rider who borrowed John,s cr250. I was on my trick Pedro Gonsoulez NCY YZ 125, we burnt all our race gas up, had a awesome time. John,s boys where tiny kids, his oldest got 5th overall this year. Millville super series has a 125 2-st class,fyi.
