That boy needs to have a discussion with his boot provider.

It'd help if he stopped the Flying Wallenda auditions, but he's just not getting the protection he needs.

Damn!  That sucks.

Least its only his foot.  Dude landed on his noggin after that low Earth orbit attempt.

i'm not sure how much more protection you can get and still be able to use your foot..  the '100mph, 12ft fall' rating on those things is probably pretty limited

crap...I like watch'n Jorge ride fly.

Fixed! 

I watched it yesterday night and halfway thru i was gonna come on here and tell all you Stoner haters to go make the beast with two backs yourselves.

But then he fell off. 

Up to then It was a great race! 

I think that with the Jorges hang time.... ride'n for Jordan would be a given. Nike's have great ankle support.


See'n Casey lay it down in the dirt made me feel better about my lowside 

Rossi Quotes:

Quote'On the podium he told me that he'd lost respect for me because he's been racing for many years and he doesn't remember ever having a race like that,' said the Italian.

'Well if he's been racing for many years, I've been racing for a lifetime and I don't know who he's been racing against but I remember all my races being like that and my rivals always fought that way.'

Quote'He's used to the mentality of racing at the front with a four second advantage over the field but racing shoulder-to-shoulder brings other factors into play,' said Rossi.

ok, enough whining (quotes) from both sides.  getting old. 

" least I pay tax's " - C Stoner

" I'm taller" -V Rossi

" least Greg can pronounce my name" -C Stoner

" least I didnt kiss him to make sure he pronounces it right" -V Rossi

" your mama " -C stoner

" no... your mama " -V Rossi

etc etc etc

i don't think any boots lorenzo uses is going to help...

almost nothing is going to help when you are being launched off the bike into low orbit providing a prime example on youtube of what a really, really, really, bad high side looks like on both ocassions...when you see him go flying in both accidents it looks like he was shot out of a circus cannon.

i'd say if nothing else he is lucky he wasn't injured even worse.. but he should maybe say, "guys make my boots out of solid titanium next time, i need it"

Rossi Quotes:

It's not like Rossi's move there is unprecedented -- Zanardi's will always be simply "The Pass"

we were joking around sunday night about rossi taking zanardi's line through the 'screw. 

I thought "the pass" was a Joe Montana thing
