Flag man taken out at MX event.

And he is down for the count! I gotta say, that is some pro flag waving by the yellow flag guy, and some mint communication to say "Oh shi' maybe we should actually stop the race".

HOLY SHIT - and the rider who whacked him just gets himself sorted and keeps blardy racing!!!

That was mason phillips from nz who landed on him, he was racing in canada and it fucked up his race. The flag marshal had been told several times to not stand there....

What a douche bag then!

I have no clue on the facts.. so this is a pretty un-educated opinion.

But I wouldn't imagine the flag man would defy the organisors and stand there just so he can wave a flag..

If the riders tol the organisers and they ignored it, then the organisers are at fault.

All in all that looked like a nasty knock to the head.. and I suppose the rider kept on riding because him putting his bike in the way of other riders, and having no medical experiance would only get in the way of the paramedics.

Was cool to the see him rag doll down the side though..
