looks like they tried to take the same line! Seen worse done by RC to Bubba in a race on speed he did a block pass and took out his front wheel and you dont hear everyone complaing about that. None of us pros and most of us could not even come close to riding with them not taking up for anyone but it is not or problem what they do and we should stay out of there business. tongue.gif rolleyes.gif wink.gif

No, we should not stay out of their business. They are pros making money off of us common folk. The best thing for these guys is if we all actually care and get in heated discussions about them. This is what all sports fans do. We get all riled up about our favorites.
Now, about that 'pass'. That would earn him a knuckle sandwich at a local race. Not really, but I imagine some heated words should at least be exchanged.

I just thought it captured the essence of why Joe Byrd is call Dirty Bird. Thats the kind of move my wife uses when faster women are trying to pass. Then its like,"Ooops, sorry". I'm sure Natalie has done just as bad. With the money and sponsorships these guys are fighting for, it is almost understandable.
I say that move was dirty and intentional.....my opinion. You are free to disagree. God bless America!

Yeah, there was a big heated discussion on ATVScene last year when that happened. My call is dirty and intentional. It's one thing to stuff a guy into a corner, but another to do it just before he is going to hit a jump. With the experience these guys have, you know the only result is going to be a crash if you tap someone in that situation. Look at the speed Dirty Bird has at that point. He rolls the jump and when they first come out of the corner they are basically even and if Dirty Bird kept his line and was focused on the obstacle and not running Natalie off the track he probably would have came out a head anyway. Nope, easier to ease up on the gas and ........ooooooopppppppppssssssss Sorry John I drifted into you.
