I agree with this completely but am trying to figure out why the double standard of airing the accident at LV but not this one. Wish they would not have shown LV again on WindTunnel.

Its part of racing, real life, I think it should be available to anyone who wants to watch it. Sugar coat the whole world and lets never show what happens when it's not good. I sat the entire family down to watch it, Sometimes my son thinks he's bullet proof, it's accidents like Marco's that shows there is a price, sometimes the ultimate price to be paid at times.

It was out of respect that DD didnt show it on wind tunnel. I dont sugar coat anything and dont like it when people do. I dont think if it was your kid you would have wanted to see it again! It was a little diffrent wreck then the Cart one was(the helmet rolling down the track).

Its a jungle out there. I'm from NY city so I seen a head or two roll with no helmet at all. I think my son watched it ten or twelve times and moved on with his life, the better for it. If it was my kid who perished I would watch it once, but not worry abt other people seeing it. A life can be saved if the right kid see's that video. All it takes is one kid to see that and say $@#% that **** I aint riding like that no more. If I was the parent of the killed child I would know people are watching it for morbid reasons but wouldnt care. I promise at least one young kid will be saved by seeing a video like that. I watched the Shane video a thousand times and the Marco crash dozens, I'm far from a morbid person but this is a brave new world of electronics and everyone going in knows it can make you a hero, or possible have a video of one of your own losing his life, BFD.

Well when it comes to racing I have NY state championships in mx and speedway and I'm a winning Supercross Racer. have probley been in the pits at more car races then you ever even attended. Lets hop on a couple speedwaybikes and see who the wanna be is. I have the feeling you wouldnt even get sideways the first day, if ever. Thats being if you could ball up enuff to even try it. My guess is if you do race its something my granny would run. I'm also 100% sure its got four wheels so you wouldnt tip over and what not. I've lived my live as a racer and paid for it with a broken neck, back and closed head injuries, so yeah, I might be riding the couch now but when it comes to being a racer, i'm the raciest you can be ******* sure of that. If you'd like to attack me personally I'd appreciate you do it by pm.

I will say that untill you have hit the oh **** buttin and ejected from your ride at about halfway through a big tripple you aint seen ****. I have dumped sprint cars at winchester, and other places but winchester was the hardest hit. And ill take the sprint car hit anytime over bikes. I went to 4 wheels after I blew my left feamer through my hip socket,broke both shoulders twice , coller bones three times,and a plate where part of my skull should be. And when I had the chance to ride a motogp bike I said no way them boys are flat out nuts they got balls to big to haul in a dump trk. And I will bet when st pete met him at the pearly gates he said welcome and what a ride marco your life was short but u lived it wide open. Just how it should be.
