Because he told me about 5 min after it happened irl and I remember
Tbh I did not take any crashes during warm ups or hit anyone, might have been a different rider that hit you and you assumed it was me 
Not many riders on stooges back then
Don’t know what to tell you man, sorry if I did. But I feel like I would remember a crash in warm ups. Next time just bring it up in person. Hope there’s no hard feelings
Fell from rear-ending someone
Nah all good, I was uninjured. Just pointing out that a lot of safety comes down to decisions made in the moment. Free practice is there for a reason, but people last year (and this year) were following me way too close when it should’ve been immediately clear that I’m seconds slower than them, and will be taking a different line.

who’s that in the brown?
Oh yeah that’s right, I didn’t even see him. Tbh I didn’t watch much of the video recap.
But yeah I’m just stating there should be rules.
Yeah, just wanted to defend my son’s honor
Me, didn’t see that guy on right. He had a weird style of getting super low and grabbing both sides of the board.
In my defense I was in front of him from starting positions. But that line up got messed up real fast out of the straight.
Me rux and Mario all stayed in our positions, I think that guy just got just wanted to take a pass on turn one.
gotcha, yeah one of the racers in my heat was doing that and taking up the whole track. took me forever to get past and by then, didn’t have enough time to race the leaders
It’s to look cool in photos, which is 50% of the reasons many racers entered lmao
Lots of fake / forced steeze
Sometimes the issue is that not giving space happens because people ride opposite way and just dont see each other. From what I saw on the video I believe that was the main issue in the crash you were involved in. Everyone going a bit different speed, different line and not knowing how close to each other they are. Especially if one board is too silent 
Happened this year at least once.
Otherwise on the start I agree most of the time is just not being used of how close is too close but combined with how tight the whole straight with the turn was. There were just too many people at one spot in the time. So anything nonstandard happened there was little time to react. Then some boards took faster, some slower but gained speed and all the take off was kinda unpredictable. Sometimes like with Jeff you can even try to step to side a bit but then if someone on the other side takes a little bit more space than they should you have an instant sandwich. I really think just the design of the start can change things a lot, because people learn. Of course if we had the bumpers to prevent wheel locks, that would be awesome

Yeah stooge boards being loud is really good for racing, there’s no way you don’t know they are next to you lol.
And @davidpilny yeah that totally makes sense, goofy and regular riders vision naturally being opposite.
Need a big ass version of these

If everyone’s loud no one’s loud

It makes a big difference once the pack spreads out. I only knew a dude was chasing me in the last lap of a race because I could hear his gear drives getting closer.

There you go with that finish line crash

If anyone is interested in seeing more footage of the heat 2 races and finals I’ve got a youtube video up of my perspective. Got a good angle of the crash in the Pro Heat 2 involving Morgan Brady, certainly a heavy hit 
but they both continued to race which was awesome to see.
