chasineyes Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If anyone hasn't checked out the UTUBE video of his crash this past weekend, please do!! These guys are TRUE ATHLETES. The amazing part was when he got BACK ON and continued the race!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick500 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 incredible crash!motocross riders are some of the toughest athletes in the world and Reed has proven to be one of the toughest in the bunchDoes anyone here remember the magazine Crash & Burn which was on the newsstands from the the '70s thru the '90s? I was the editor during much of it's run and I raced back then too- I'd get so whipped sometimes I felt like puking in the pits afterwards!Much more to it than twisting a throttle and turning the bars....

pureinsanity Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Milleville is a huge track with big air. That crash could have been a lot worse like if he landed on his feet or hands! That jump is way bigger then it looks as well!Scary crash none the less. I remember the days of running around down on that track! Gotta route for the local guys though!

The last issue I think was 1994. I would love to do another with perhaps more car racing shots but it probably wouldn't sell these days. The problem with C&B was no one would advertise in it like they would in Dirt Bike or Dirt Wheels. Glad to see someone remembers the mag!!

metro 1 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I was at the Millville track to see Ricky Carmichaels last national race. We were standing at the bottom of the big hill with the hairpin turn at the top thinking I'm not sure if I would even try to run my bike up it (DR350 ) .At the end Ricky did a slow (Walking pace ) wheelie up the whole hill one handed waving at the crowd , I miss watching the Goat.
