It's bad enough to do something like that in front of perfect strangers on a road, but to do it in front of a crowd and on TV that took some courage to get patched up and get back on TV and finish the show. Cudos to the guy.

RE: Pinks crash
Couple things I noticed
1. While I bet there was a bit of grandstanding going on, it really does look liek he jsut screwed up and grabbed a fist full of throttle.
2. He has some nerves of steel to get back up in front of a crowd like that, walk over to the ambulance, hold out his hands to be bandaged and not be shaking like a leaf. He really was embarassed but man I woulda been vibrating right off the track after that.
3. Hes kinda an asshat. Did he buy the guy a new bike?

For the record, I'd bet everyone that's commenting on him being a loser for dumping has never dumped a bike before. I should know, I hadn't either until a few weeks ago.
Dumping a bike is a humbling experience, even for the cockiest A55holes out there. It's not fun. It will definitely take you down a notch or two.
