CENTERVILLE, Miss. — GEICO Honda rider Kevin Windham will miss the rest of the Supercross season after suffering several injuries during a crash Saturday in Houston. Attempting to qualify for the ,ain event, Windham was in a pitched battle with James Stewart during a heat race when he came off his CRF450 at a high rate of speed. As a result of the accident, Windham dislocated his right shoulder and sustained damage to his left wrist, left thumb and right hip. Full PR here.
This is a tough pill to swallow. What’s even worse is that I knew this was coming, like when the bully in school tells you in the morning he is going to beat you up at lunch, so you just get to sit there all day and wait in terror, but not without the glimmer of hope that he may forget. That’s what makes it the worst, the hope and the inevitable crushing of that hope.
Usually I would just make a joke like “Windham was simply hitting the ground to rattle the Earth just enough to divert water into a famished wasteland village in Uganda”, but I don’t think I could even think of such a scenario right now. Fact is that now even Windham is out for the last four races. No transfers, no more “Your Love” making the whole crowd stand up at attention more than any race the entire night, and all the more fucks given by the clowns who need not even look that which is Windham in the face.
The good thing is that we know that K-Dub will be back. He showed this season that he is easily as valuable a rider to any sponsor as a Villopoto or a Dungey. Dude is a PR person’s wet dream; the art of swag indeed. So here’s to you, K-Dub, and everyone had better be bumping this song all day at NOLA.
NO!!!! Goddamnit Ken, you fucking fucker. Do you see how many exclamation points that is? Four, that is much more than I am comfortable using, which should communicate the magnitude of my discontent right now. Broken arm? Who does that? What the fuck were you thinking? Seriously, it is so fucking eazy to not get hurt – all you have to do is not fucking fall and not be a fucking Joe and you could not even handle that. Just don’t fucking fall, this close to the season, that is your mission. And you failed. For fuck’s sake, I am legitimately upset right now. Like, I honestly do not even understand why, but I guess I was really looking forward to seeing what he would bring to the table at A1. So many people are claiming that he is the best 250 rider in the world, which he arguably may be, but he got totally housed in SX last year other than Vegas but he got the rookie handicap (and he was like 4 years old or something). This was going to be the real test – had he performed well at A1, I probably would have started inching my way on to that bandwagon. But now he fucked everything up like a goddamn idiot. Cali can definitely be a distraction for a 17 year old superstar, and I guess that endless stream of slut magic got the best of Kenny.
P.S. When I asked how many exclamation points that was, how many of you actually went back and looked. Dance for me, puppets.
From Racer X – We have received word from a source close to the situation that Trey Canard did break his collarbone. We will continue to update the story as we find out more.
It hit the Twitter feeds late last night, and it has since been confirmed. People might expect me to make fun of Trey here, but I am not going to. Trey is probably my favorite ginger. That may seem a little like saying someone is my favorite neo-Nazi, but it is true that Trey can hold a conversation past “Um yeah, um, wait, no.” I think Trey’s gingerness is what really holds him back for fans; throw Dungey’s looks in with Trey’s demeanor and you will have a Justin Bieber of moto type thing going on (although Roczen already owns that title). Anyway, I am hearing some people say that he will be back for A1, which is exactly what Villopoto did a few years ago when he broke his collarbone in December, so there is still hope. I am struggling to remember a rider who has been hurt as many times as Canard that is still competitive every time he comes back. Anyone? Trey has some of the Windham-style to him, which probably contributes to his ability to get wrecked and spend 6 months in rehab and comeback with podium speed. He is also one of those Jesus types, and that dude pretty much just passes out good vibes everywhere he goes from what I hear.
I got several e-mails and tweets and shit about Durham breaking his wrist. Here is the first thing that everyone needs to understand: I obviously already knew about that. This is BROtocross, I knew about that shit before it even happened. Not that I don’t love it when people send me stories, but come one folks, let’s use a touch of judgment here.
Second, Durham is going to be fine. People are sending me shit like “There goes the PC ride” and all this nonsense. Please, it’s a fractured wrist. I fractured my wrist this morning on purpose because I was bored. DD is looking pristine for supercross. Race east coast like a boss and just run shit, that’s the plan. And if you think he will not get back up to pace, I remind you that Durham got hurt like five times last year and came back fast every race. And that was when he pitted out of a box van and went through 101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles so much he got to the weird part at the end where you aren’t even eating them anymore.
