[QUOTE="yamadogyz, post: 109564, member: 377"] Here's what I can tell you. I have rode and raced with guys who will walk again, and aren't even 20 yet. If you chose to join the life of motocross racing, at such a high and competitive level, you have to accept the fact that your life can change in a half of second, and in the end, it might not even still be there. I have learned to accept this fact racing at the level I do now, along with every other competitor lined up on either side of me. Every rider, and competitor deserves only the utter most respect to line up to the gate to do what they have dedicated their lives for. Competitive motocross is a very, very dangerous sport, as why you should always ride within what you can handle and remain fully protected and covered. I am also a very religious person, and say a long prayer before my motorcycle ever runs for the day. Pete has made the decision to accept the dangers and compete like the rest of us, as nobody is to blame for the accident. His life though, will never be the same. It is really sad to see this kinda stuff, as I look at everyone in the sport a huge family. I'll say my prayers for him, in great hopes he makes a recovery to the fullest the accident will permit. I'm sure he is a really, really great guy. The one thing I do leave up to question, is what in the hell were the flaggers doing. They should have placed someone at the front of the jump, as I could see a lot of riders hitting the jump unaware. I would have been seriously pissed to the point I would stop on the jump face to guard the guy. That was pure negligence on behalf of the track personnel. [/QUOTE]
