â€œSomehow I got both wheels off the ground when I changed directions,â€ said Hayden. â€œWhen I landed, I guess the front wheel was cocked because it ripped the bars out of my hands. It was slapping the handlebars hard enough that it broke the frame. I couldnâ€™t get a hold of the bars and ran straight off the track. I was headed straight for the wall, so I jumped off. I still went into the tires hard.â€

:yikes Glad he's not that bad considering...... :thumbup

Ouch! Somehow I don't think his hand is going to heal enough in a week's time to ride again. That's too bad. Also doesn't sound like he had any good impressions of the track.

"I also found it strange that no one representing the AMA was there. I mean, it's right in their backyard (AMA's headquarters is in Pickerington, Ohio, about two hours away by car), new surface, the track wanted to talk to us and it was just us (riders and teams) and the track."

hmmmmmmmmmmm...... :headscratch
