2006 ATVA MX Nationals Round #6 – Birch Creek - Preview & Live Coverage

Wow....that surprises me.......that Pro's would do that.....that's another peeve of mine - riders who still race through a yellow flag. If you have ever been the one down on the flag, with riders still flying by you....you'd think you'd have more respect for that flag.....plus, I have been in several races where I have slowed down for the flag, and the riders behind me don't........and they make up all that ground just because I am doing what I am supposed to do, and they choose not to.....

I guess Pat Browns mom got it on tape. When I was getting my plaque, Brown, Wimmer, and Natalie were watching it.

Maybe the rider was off the track and Byrd saw that and figured the flag was going to go down just after he rolled the triple or something, who knows.

There was no rider down on the track and the Pro's do no better. There is way more to this than jumping on a yellow.

Cindi, I am not gonna argue the fact that you have most, if not all of the information on this topic...would you care to fill the rest of us in?

From what I understand the yellow flag that was out was for Lawson that was pulled OFF the track all the way at the end of the holeshot right before you make the left. It was about 300 yards away from the flag. There was no rider down on the track.
