[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 183695, member: 1650"] Well I go back to the time when the rider making the pass was responsible for the crash. I still think that way. The problem is that when that was the rule, we didnt have tracks where you can literally go from midair during a jump into a corner without touching down before the corner, and it is done frequently now, so more is on the lead rider now to avoid being hit. I can sure see why Reed would be mad, but when you have rules that are flagrantly broken right in front of the people responsible for enforcing them, then you have to expect "enforcement". What both of them did caused a crash that they were both lucky to walk away from. One of them was entirely on purpose and fully avoidable. It is harsher than it has been, but probably no harsher than it always should have been is the way that I feel. It has to really sting to lose that many points in a series like this. [/QUOTE]
