    Re: Crashes ?

    4.7% crash rating! i think that is really good
    I think we made up a whole new way to compare against each other
    No doubt about the future, No regrets about the past!

    27 divided by 575 (not the other way around) = 4.69% & change.

    Re: Crashes ?

    mine is total crashes on the race bike, practice and races.Basicaly
    i crash 2.7 times a year.Crashing sucks but i hate it when people tell me i crash alot. Since my first full year i have finished in the top 5 in at least 1 class every year.I dont think i could continue to do that if i crashed as much as people think i do.They probably think that because i sometimes crash in a very big way
    The bottom line is crashing is the shitty part of racing.Some of us crash by making mistakes, others because they ride way above their skills.
    We just need to understand and learn from our crashes.

    Re: Crashes ?

    I wasn't going reply due to the possible jinx factor
    But the percentage thing got my interest up.
    1 really good street highside. bruises and a pressure contusion "popped" the skin open on the side of my elbow, 32 stitches.

    4 track, bruises and one real good concussion.
    New Racer=5 races
    Crash percentage = 80%

    Dirt bikes
    torn ACL left knee
    torn ACL and MCL right knee
    rode dirt for 33 years and can count only maybe a dozen times that I rode all day without some kind of a get off.
