Steve Rapp

thats what happens when you forget to safety wire the steering head. somebody shoulda got fired over that.

really?? so the bike just spontaniously combusted?

(runs out and saftey wires steering head while thinking to myself "how did it last 53,000 miles without exploding?????????)

 

[EC70]

AMA race late 90's Road america?

I remeber watching that one

He grazed another bike on the right side and clipped his front brake causing what you see above

 

[h2v7]

ok so it wasnt mechanical failure he hit someone-ish

 

[totalknee999]

Yep. It was an incident on the race start. Rapp tagged a bike in front of him with his brake lever. His Duc did a couple frontward cartwheels before shedding the front end in spectacular fashion as shown in the photo. Rapp made the restart on his backup bike.

Scott Russell. Career ender.Did anyone else see the pics on Supe of his leg? Nasty! He suffered from compartmentalization(?) and the docs kept his leg wound open for a couple of weeks while the swelling went down.

IIRC, Kocinski actually slowed unexpectedly and that was what caused Rapp to clip him, but I could be mixing races.

Yes, but the pic above is not Russell's crash. Russell got asspacked right on the starting grid when his bike stalled. I saw it live and it was awful. The pics were awful as well.

And Russell rode for Hansen, not V&H.

If you're saying the photo above is the Scott Russell crash you are incorrect. In that crash Russell had difficulty getting off the line and got hit from behind. The fall was not too terrible, but he then got hit by another bike while on the ground.
