  • PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: Horrible crash on a dangerous part of the track. WORCS at Glen Helen January 2012. I started on the 450B line, where the pile up started, and all the lines behind us got involved too. Just to top it off, once I had made up most of the positions I lost, I got a flat tire and lost all the spots again. Glen Helen, please never run the ridge that direction again.***I see a lot of comments wondering why I or other riders didnt run back up the hill to warn those still coming. First off, we're wearing heavy motocross boots...not exactly the best for quick mobility. Secondly, we wouldve had to run back to before where the dust started (visibility was about 15 at best in the dust) which was about 500 yards back, all uphill in loose silt. I figure it would take at least 3 to four minutes to cover that ground (leaving my bike behind as another obstacle) and another few minutes to get back. You can see how bad the terrain was when I tried to climb back up to the track. There was a guy standing on the track up there the next lap telling everyone to slow down, and I nearly hit him cruising along at a slower pace than I was riding at at the beginning of this video.

    If I was involved with that crash and was able to see what number the guy had on his bike that yelled "Get out of the way!" Better I hope I don't find you in the pits after the shit these guys were involved in....

    I hope this spreads out and a lot of people in the industry see it. People need to see this and think about it. I do not want to blame anyone here but I know the ridge cannot be watered and I know people will race through blind conditions. Glad everyone that was safe was safe, and I pray that everyone that was hurt heals up. Lots of views for 2 days old

    Wow, what a smash! I can believe everyone rode away from that! What actually caused that, did someone come off up there somewhere?

  • @bakhirun
    @bakhirun 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are you guys wearing dust filters? I can't imagine breathing that stuff non-stop all the way up the ridge. Nice video though - thanks for sharing it. These things happen.

  • @PhatArtz
    @PhatArtz 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, that sucks! Looks like it could have been a lot worse though, did you ride away from it?

    Jesus, one of those bikes skimmed your head. Fair play in getting out of there, some of those riders were hitting that fast. Have never seen anything that bad before

  • @52foreman52
    @52foreman52 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any word on the two guys you were talking too? Seen one was holding his wrist and the other guy I think said he broke his rib cage, but when you took off I didn't see their bikes or them on the side. So did they take off and finish?

  • @joethomas5004
    @joethomas5004 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Right.. I feel like an idiot asking, but why could he not have been in first? Couldn't he have just lost the back end or something, then another guy hits him or his bike, then another...and another until this pileup happened?

    @hondaredrider  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @LOVESooMOTERCYCLES fyi, the wreck started with the top three, and the guys yelling to move were on the line behind us, and therefore not even battling us for position. if we couldve moved and taken off that easily, we would have.

    even if you're the master of X- BOX 360 you still know nothing about motocross

    this is up on the ridge...if ur racing mx, you wont have to worry about running this ridge, but even if you did, they recently installed a water tower up there to avoid incidents like this in the future

  • @hondaredrider
    @hondaredrider  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @sikracing633 no my bike was fine except for cosmetic damage. it was just at the bottom of the pile as you obviously saw. when i went to take off, my rear wheel was caught on something, and i knew i had to lift the back of my bike over in order to go, but i didnt want to risk getting clipped when i hopped off and start the whole pile up again. i got a flat a couple laps later but still finished

  • @hondaredrider
    @hondaredrider  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    heres the difference dude: bomb runs are hundreds of feet wide. this was no more than 12 feet wide at best. also, I knew where my bike was...under 2 other bikes. idk about you, but im not strong enough to deadlift 250 lbs dirt bikes. and, because of the lack of visibility, i had no choice but to wait there until the crashing had stopped

    @twag0735 me yelling "stop" was really just an impulse thing. i know he didnt have nearly enough distance and he probably didnt even hear me. and there were people at the top trying to slow people down but they we bascially invisible with all the dust

  • @hondaredrider
    @hondaredrider  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @twag0735 heres just a few reasons why that was improbable... 1) i raced with a sprained ankle and therefore cant run very well, 2) its hard to run in motocross boots, 3) that hill is silty and a heck of a lot steeper than the video makes it look, 4) there were people at the peak trying to slow people down already, but to no avail, 5) since dirt bikes can't stop in 10 ft and that was the maximum visibility, it wouldve been pointless, 6) hindsight is 20/20, so quit trying to act tough
