Didn't have it in the first race ( which he won)
Had it in the secound race and crash hard.
Its a omen

Thats exactly what I told him before he went out, but he would not listen me.
Evey time someone puts it on they come back with good crash footage!

What happened in his first race? couple of guys got caught up in the start gates and they restarted the race.
Then at the end when he won, and they interviewed him. He was bad mouthing people and talking about bad sportmanship.
Sounded to me, like he was a real bad sport. I couldn't believe what he was saying.
Good rider though.
Had tears in his eyes when he rolled past our seats, just wanting to finish the secound race, after the big crash.

i restarted that race so i will tell you,

Hamish dobbin hit the gate but instead of backing off we kept it pinned and pulled the whole gate forward trapping Cameron Dillan as well, thats why the race was restarted,

Ethan was commenting on the first start,

and thanks for the pics, someone forgot to put gas in the generator, bugger,

I was gutted when the Red Bull balloon broke, finally I could add some decent colour into my shots, even setup test spots so I could move in during race time, consequently I ended up with about 4 shots with bikes and the balloon.

Ethan did not have cast on prior to that event, it was KTM rider Chase Smith, and from what I have been told he has another back on.

It was Brock, Ethans younger brother who had the mean crash at harrissvile - both good riders!

i was gutted when it broke to, it looked really good and added something to the track,

Should I make mention, I wasn't gutted when it broke ?

I felt sorry for Ethan when he crashed, that guy can ride. I think he may have been leading the points for his class at the time. He also put a lot of effort int the track during the week aswell.
