This is absolutely ridiculous. The rider was not be rude or arrogant in any way yet the marshall still attacks him. Also why did the marshal care if he was recording the conversation? Was he not comfortable with what he was going to say? It obviously did not cause any issues with the timing system so why not just have an adult conversation with him and a warning? Can't believe they screwed this guy out of a National Championship. I would be losing my sh!t

He was probably late because the line to the porta-potty he was in was longer than expected. You know, since you can't just piss in the woods without getting fined.

Bizutch, Um...no one likes you, or your opinion. Sh*t happens, and you are a prime example of this.

But okay for enduro to be late! Your a fucking lame that is a squid that barely rides wasn't there! Actually I want to hear more of your stupid thoughts. Mr I'm so fuckingn perfect!

Is that official your daddy or something? Your ass is way too red over it. Stay classy.

Man your funny! Put it this way the rules state I got 2 fucking min to make it there! Your some troll that sits online i would smash your damn face in! I've never once had a problem with any official always yes sir no ma'am thank you sir thank you ma'am! When you run a practice close to a race shot is bound to happen! Does Ryan vilapoto have practice 20 min before his race! Does rv have to ride a bike almost a mile to make some fucking tire changes? Does rv have to fucking wait till dinner...

He was late and couldn't get in the right way what was he supposed to do? Just not race? Fuck that, dude was there to race and win. Not to mention no one stopped him at the gate so where are the officials up top? They obviously didn't care or couldn't be bothered to even be there. Im sure dude has been on time for alot of races one mistake doesn't mean you should talk shit to his fam and be a complete ass hole but thats just kind of dude you are I guess.

I would expect a warning or reprimand from someone at the start hut. If there was a problem, they apparently got over it and let him take his run. Why does the guy at the bottom have to nearly come unglued? You put up good money to race at National Champs and shouldn't have to walk on egg shells everywhere and get treated like this. Imagine the roller coaster Finn Jr. just went on; he has an awesome run, (unofficially) wins, then immediately chewed out by an official...and DQ'd. Unreal. I'd be pretty sour on paying another dime to USAC.

Wow such an unnecessary demeanor. F that guy! What's his name anyone know?

I have dealt with this official out in Arizona before. He's a real A**hole to deal with @ local races also. USAC needs to do something about his attitude towards the riders. I guarantee this isn't the first time he's done this

Lmfao! If I broke a rule why was I counted down? Hmmm no rules stating I can be there I time. I still had time on my clock. I hope you get stuck on a lift

BIZUTCH I don't care how old my son is I will have his back or anyone elses back when they are screwed over. Sorry if you don't like the fact I'm a MOM and post on mtb sites. Last time I checked I have EVERY RIGHT to post here as you do! Trust me my son can wipe his own a** and fight his own battles. Yes, you are right racers should be at the start gate on time. After the lift up the mountain he cut it close.There is a reason why a grace period is granted ... shit...

My son ran a great race and put everything he had into this season! The way he was treated pissed me off. They told him ok and started his countdown. He didn't screw up anything...may be the USAC officials should pull their heads out of their a**es. There should have been room for him at the start gate or better yet don't run practice so close to their start time. He was there to win and to have this a**hole treat him this way is uncalled for. Thank you Vital for your kind words. There is a problem that needs...

Hey man I'll begging back east. Says you live in Nc. I'll be going threw that area. Like to meet up?

If they were doing there job and didn't allow the rider behind me in the gate I could of. I was headed there. Realized I couldn't do went threw the front. That's how much time I had and how late I wansnt! Your a troll and have nothing better to do. Get a life you lame. Go out side and do something. You sound like a cop

Unbelievable! Can't this be appealed? Struggle to believe that mistake gives legit grounds for a DQ especially under the circumstances. If this happened in the UK, the entire MTB community would be in uproar and putting some serious pressure on the organisers.

its also safe to assume your a complete douche haha but really if you dont actually know the facts then shut up

i have also designed/tested course, marshaled and worked timing at races up to the NAET & EWS level. its not a big deal at all, if you know what you are doing. thats what manual backup timing is for. and if working a race is so stressful for you that you end up acting in this manner towards hard-working and big $$$-paying racers you need to find a new job. librarian maybe? this is supposed to be fun. blows my mind people even bother with USAC anymore, just a stream of nonstop drama!

please just stop...races are about the riders not the organizers. no one wants to hear about some horse pucky stress you endure as a promoter.
