I can't believe he got back on. I would have gone to the nearest boobie bar to feel better.

Ha I know i sure would.
It's been over a month but I think he finished 14th, the problem, he hasn't been the same, has been slower and keeps making mastakes after that crash. Justin Barcia was really good for the first time racing the 450s at Unadilla. Hopefully Reed will be back on his game at Southwick.
ya that was pretty crazy!
i think the only part of it that really would have hurt was when he slid down the edge of the landing and slammed off the dirt lip into the flat.. other then that he got insanely lucky and kinda landed down it nicely.
You guys don't know what the nearest boobie bar is....it ain't pretty.
If you notice he got saved by that little slope. 5 more feet into the flats and that would have been a different story.
I was there and it was something to here an entire track collectively go "oh chit". And it was another thing to hear the cheers erupt around the track as he got back up and rode playing catch up. Was really something to see even if you don't like Chad.
Yeah he admitted last week that he was running scared ever since that crash. Mentally he isn't on his game since then.
lucky is right. That crash could have been much much worse.
I can't stand Chad Reed, but after watching that, I gave him serious props. Anybody who can get up after that, and finish, and still score some points gets my respect. That was crazy.
that is a tuff guy right there...
