RC and BMX dont mix

Post by rhino1 »

This is why RC cars and BMX tracks dont mix. But I still got a chuckle.

No, actually it's not funny. It's a bmx track for one and it was in use by cyclists. Plus she could have gotten seriously hurt. Not to mention it casts a negative light on rc enthusiasts.

Had it been my daughter and I was there, things would have turned out differently.

Doesn't look like she was much of a BMXer. Looks like a track rat just hanging around trying to turn a head. Still think it's funny. XXXMain has some cool videos, I'm sure they didn't just show up to take over that track.

It almost sounds like you were close to saying it was her fault, but surely not, right?

Yep, this vid has been around for a few years. The back-story as I recall is that yes, it was a bike track area, but that girl wasn't happy riding in the rest of the park, she had to be right there in that one spot where the group of RC guys were.

Looking at the track, it's a large complex, she could have and should have been somewhere else and left the RC guys alone. If anyone is at fault, it is her. betcha next time she rides elsewhere.

I don't know what's sadder--the girl getting hit by an RC car, or the fact that a bunch of RC guys weren't paying attention to an attractive chick... :lol:

No loss on either account, she was pretty whiny and beotchy about them being there. I say she got what was coming to her.

while it is old and marginally funny it makes us look bad, especially the way xxxmain portrays it.

Anyone with even the smallest amount of common sense would know there was a nitro truck being driven on that track. Actualy it looks a lot like there was some kind of get together of these enthusiasts at that complex judging by the amount of trucks seen at the start. That woman was plain stupid to try and stubbornly ride a bike on that track while that truck was being driven around there. Nobody likes to see a woman get injured like this but I reckon she could have waited it out till the person driving that truck was finished.
Atleast that's what I would have done if I wanted to ride there.
