I quit posting on here because I have been really busy, and I don't think the negativity is good for my physical well being. I'm to a point in my life where if something causes me too much stress; I'm cutting it out. In this case it seems like the negativity is following me like a train robber, and I'm the train. I have people sending me snapshots of the posts that Mr. Bickley has been written. I guess a defense is required in this matter. #1 We do see a large amount of riders, 125 on Saturday and 218 Sunday. When you have more riders the chances for an incident do go up. It works that way with automobile accidents as well. #2 Our safety team and first responders have a policy that if you break a femur or they suspect that you have broken a femur, then you fly. Its considered a trauma because it is the largest bone in your body. They will also fly you for be unconscious for more than 5 minutes; possible head trauma. These flights aren't always a definite necessity, but a good precautionary measure to insure that riders have the best possible chances of making to the hospital where they can receive the care that they need. My point to #2 is that not all areas around the state do the broken femur, then you fly protocol. At least from what I've heard, we were one the first to start that in 2008. And that's not my call, the paramedics make that call. I ride the track myself, its as safe as you can make motocross, which is an inherently dangerous sport. And yes flaggers should be in place when you have over 200 even 150, 100 etc, I get that, its tough to predict your turnout, at some point we will need them every time. However in both incidents this past weekend, a flagger would not have prevented either crash. They were the crash. They were both just bad timing situations. I do want to start including flaggers at practices, at least on the bigger blind jumps. Anyone can volunteer to flag, but I have never had one person in 11 years offer, not one.
I'm not back on this board, I will only post when I feel I absolutely have to do so.
Furthermore, I have learned a new word today, and it is "LIBEL", which I feel is what is occurring here and on Vital Mx. I have warned Mr. Bickley that I feel what he is postings are slanderous. However after some quick internet research, I think it actually tends to be more of a Libel issue. My lawyer will advise me soon, like today. By the way Mr. Bickley you are not welcome on the property, if you should chose to grace us with your presence you will be escorted off the property by law enforcement. Do search on the difference between free speech and libel on the internet everyone, its a hoot.
Thanks to everyone that supports the Cliff!
