He got taken to hospital a few years back coughing up blood after the Yamabog incident and turned up and got 12th in the final.

Hes a tough SOB! Hopefully nothing broken and he will be soon.

Get well soon.
I was trying to remember when that was Minneapolis 2008? Yes he certainly is a tough SOB!

Coughing up blood usually means either a rib into a lung, or vey baddly bruised lung.

To me it looked like he was going to go all crazy balls and shoot past Roczen but dropped his front wheel, got bucked high and then made the contact with 94. All Reed there I think. Sucks too. He is my guy.

Not all Chads fault

@twmxdotcom: Roczen: "Chad caught my rear wheel when I got squirrely in the whoops. I hope he is alright."

Looked like Kroc got squirrely in the whoops trying to avoid Wey, unfortunately he moved across into Chads line, Chad had no where to go and that was all she wrote. Shift happens, it's racing, I'm gutted for Chad.

Roczen said something more along the line of "I hope Chad didn't catch my wheel" he didn't confirm he did.
I think when they all watch the replay it will sink in that it wasn't the kids fault just a racing incident where Chad got out of shape and clipped his tire in the process.

Because he had lapped up to 12th.

It looked like KRoc tried to change lines to avoid Wey and then Reedy balked got squirly and clipped Kennys wheel.

No ones fault just racing.

For sure what I saw.... Reed's lost his footing and was pretty outta control. 50/50 if he could have saved it without hitting Roczen's wheel. Definitely don't blame Roczen for doing anything wrong. Bad deal for Chad and the series. I want RV to 4pete but I wanted to see a battle down to Vegas! Praying Chad is ok....

Put me on the list of folks thinking it's a collarbone, that looked pretty painful.

Good luck Chad, hope it's not that serious

No one will say it cos it's wey, but the lappers are fucking this up every week. Roczen has slowed down to avoid the lapper and Reed clips Rocket's wheel.

Seriously bring out a flag that makes you get completely out of the fucking way or you get penalized. Lappers should have no place in deciding outcomes of front runners, this includes Roczens run for Reed in the last lap last weekend.

BS. Watch the replay. Chad carried the front over the 3rd whoop...then the rear kicked and stepped out. After that..he just started getting bucked more and more. He was already out of position and control when he got near KRoc. Two whoops before he gets to KR...he is done. He does that elbow high low high low thing when you are out of control in the whoops. The only thing Wey did...was impact HOW CR crashed. CR was going down on his own.

Wey stayed on the right side all the way through and moved over more to the right.

The rider who changed his line in front of Reed was Rokstar.

Look at the replay Wey has sfa to do with Rokstar changing in front of Reed trying to block his line and pass.

He will learn from this and obv didn't try and take Reed out intentionally but never the less his mistake caused the crash.

maybe if he watches how Wey holds his line and does not get involved in it.

??? Sorry..but it was Reed moving to his right because his rear stepped left when he carried the front over the whoop. He did not do it on purpose. When his rear stepped out and hit...it pushed him right...and started the huck a buck. 0:04 in that vid. He is done. A full 1.5 whoops before he goes down...his elbows are vertically over the bars and his hips are no longer back. You don't recover from that....

MC is a dick with his lapper comment...he should know better.

Damn....he is done for a while. Wow...can you imagine the roller coaster for Reed. That brutal 2012 crash.... Horrible 2013. Stays true to himself...changes bikes...charges back into the mix...right back at the top of the game...now this. What a brutal sport.

Nup I don't buy it, roczen has slowed down because the lapped is there, not because he got in the way, but he's taken caution because the bloody lapper is still riding his own race and COULD jeopardize the front runners. So roczen has slowed down, reed's panicked and has begun going down before actually hitting roczens wheel, the core reason still comes back to the lapper.

That was a good, quick reaction by Dungey to avoid plowing into Reed.

Really...here is the side view 10 feet before his touches KRocs tire... Show me a vid of someone hammering SX whoops at speed in a position like this.



I will give you that hitting KRocs tire made it a lot worse...but he was jacked up already....and his contact with KR was not because KR moves over to protect a line...or because of Wey...it was because Reed was out of shape.

agree 100% roczen said he had to avoid Wey...
I'm not blaming anyone though.. I think it was a racing deal and shit like this happens in a split second

I was thinking maybe Reed broke the upper arm just cause he was so bummed and he's ridden after dislocating his shoulder before so he'd know that he could but that was before the whole spitting blood thing

If you want to blame anybody blame RV.

Here me out....

Reed wanted to get past KR and get third to keep the points close to RV. In my opinion Reed was not riding good enough for him to push it like this. He should have settled for 4th and just held off Dungey.

He saw an opportunity and tried to make it happen.

His feet (or left foot at least) actually came off the pegs..sorry but...this was on Reed. Roczen did come over...he was also out of shape...these guys were charging hard. But Reed was way more out of shape...

Go watch how Reed's bike got taken out from under him at the point of contact hitting the top of Roczen's rear wheel, Reed's front wheel clearly gets pushed up and out to the left side from contact. Was not the cleanest run through the whoops but I can tell you right now Reed would have made it through without contact.

And BTW, my post has nothing to do with blaming it on any rider.
