Scott - Yea -i guess if you look at it that way - you have a point - i mean if it was a place not designated for rc cars and they were driving there anyway - then - well they should not have been running there. However, put yourself in the bicyclists shoes - it appears to be a park like setting and even seems to be a track for bicycles. ( upon further inspection ) - i just watched the video for what it was - not for analyzation of who was right and who was wrong for using the track. The beginning of the taping and the rest of the taping that was edited and is not known to any of us. Its kind of hard to me to believe that this is the first time that rc-car had hit that jump - and it is also hard for me to grasp that the person on the bike was totally taken by surprise for a rc-car to be jumping that jump - Im not saying that the rc driver wasnt wrong for running in a public place, he was - but look - If it was me riding the bike and there were cars ripping back and forth on this track - I wouldnt have the * Well im supposed to ride here and they are not so im going to drive here regardless * attitude. I would have ridden 50 yards away with the other bicyclists until the cars were done. It may not have been fair to the biker but what is the other choice - well you saw what it was...( And we all know - since we all run these things that sometimes, when your looking at your car, especially when there is a jump or technical section coming, the reprocussions are sometimes overlooked. And sometimes people cant look 30 foot ahead for the possibility that something is in the way. Otherwise there would be no accidental " I hit that tree or ran into that pipe " ) accidents. There is another bike riding in the background and going over some nice size jumps and there do not seem to be any cars annoying or buzzing around him. Maybe the girl was going to hit the double - what do i know - but it seems that it was a huge track, and for her to be harrased at one end by a car and then say "the heck with it im going anyway" seems like a bad judgement call. She HAD the right to be on the track but did she do the right thing by refusing to stop tll the cars were done or broke? You tell me. Its like walking across the street at the crosswalk without looking to me. Do I hope she was hurt? - absolutely not - Im just the type of person who chose to see the humor in a situation and leave it at that. It is definately wrong for the rc- cars to be on the track, And i hope that the girl was not seriously hurt by the accident. Moderator or not - i still took it for what it was.. sorry if it offended you or any other person - im done for now " say goodbe to the bad guy....


Hows that "Hope and Change" working out for Ya???
