HmmMMM, Video of Who? Doing What?
[attachment=4558:DSC01316.JPG][attachment=4559:DSC01319.JPG] Well, anyway, this is what I spent the afternoon doing. I spent the morning mowing grass and working on the jumps with the tractor. Tomorrow we have a couple of friends coming over, so we'll be riding most of the day. I guess I have to miss the Packer game. oh well.

Yeah.....Even if it wasn't intentional, the fact that he didn't even consider checking to see if John was alright is what makes me lose a bit of respect for Joe.
In the WORCS races, even the top level pros stop for another rider, no matter what the situation. I've seen top-10 pros give away a podium, or even a number one spot, due to stopping for a downed rider. Thats just the way it is. In my first expert class race, I stopped for a downed rider, when I was doing quite well. I stayed and helped the downed rider, and his brother who stopped(who was flat freaking out) for over 12 minutes. I could of gave away a great finish....but it doesn't matter.... your helping a fellow rider. No race should be serious enough that it comes to wrecking fellow riders on purpose, accidentaly wrecking a fellow rider, and not stopping....or even not stopping for a wreck you had nothing to do with, just to gain a position. It's not that serious.
It's obvious that John was alright, but Joe didn't know that, and should've at least clarified before continuing racing.
