I am not sure exactly how it happened but he snaped his seat completely in two pieces when the chain broke, he was pinning into a big and very akward duoble and he slammed into his rear wheel. He managed to stay upright and he looked a bit stunned. He eventually shook it off and actually fininshed his run. Great kid, big effort. It must have really hurt.
Make sure to get TMX. She angry.

But she does leave nice rep, and I like that in people.
I am sort of the kick of SFW, the kid got a second run. Everyone, especially me, has had many a minute where the rules didn't apply to them as strongly as it did to others. Besides, we're all in this for the fun kids. The minute my riding bikes becomes too much about the rules, I am going to knock out another race official, take off my shorts, strap on a tutu and a 12" strap on rubber cock, and I am going all in for a 5150 trip.
Yup, the dancing nana has spoken.
i wasn't trying to slam ya TMX,
i just want people to know that Logan is a stand up kid, he spent a week here in my home town and i did some gym work outs with him and i was impressed with his overall personality.
i have seen more then enough talented jr racers from America screw up a ride and/or a career on being idiots and thinking they were rock stars, good to see a young rider dedicated.
TMX, i would have completely agreed with you back in the day when i was more worried about my results then having fun, i would have been saying "thats bad luck but thats the way it goes", i guess its just different peoples perspectives.
but i think sportsmanship won out in this case, he clearly didn't have a bad run going and then use a mechanical to get a re run...sounds like his first crank out of the gate his chain came off and the other riders saw it all and pushed for a re run not Logan himself?

give him a break its pre-season.
a-rod is thinking the same thing
He got bucked a bit on the roller before the slight uphill and his right foot was off the pedal just after he got into the air. He landed with just his left foot on a pedal. His chain snapped when his bike hit the ground. It didn't look pretty, but he took the hit well. I think the bottom out must have snapped the chain because he wasn't pedalling immediately before the bottom out.

Logan never asked for anything - he was just looking at his chain and trying to figure out what happened.
We all (the remaining pros) saw what happened and I suggested he get a mullligan - half jokingly. Everyone seemed to agree it was sh*t luck and no one voiced any disagreement. How the official came to the conclusion that it was acceptable to grant him a re-start, I have no idea. I'm glad he did though.
It's crappy to come a long way to a race, have no idea how your off-season training is going, not get an accurate time, and leave knowing less than before you came. Besides, I don't think he took any money out of anyone's pocket by getting a re-start. And there's no national series points on the line or anything. Who wants to beat Logan (or anyone else for that matter) by way of a freak occurrence. Every competitor I know wants to beat his adversaries straight up - it means more.

i bet most who were there would say the same thing (at the dh). i have no comment for dual.
Neko explained that his chain broke just before coming into this section, he went for the gas and with nothing there he got all front on his bike and sort of crashed into the above described roller. His boy's broke his seat which might explain the stunned look.
Anyone have any idea where I can look up the Cat 2 times? I know I didn't do well, but I need to rub it in for motivational reasons.
Results have not been posted anywhere that I can find, very unprofessional IMHO. I got tired of waiting when it started to get dark out.
I think there might have been some goof ups with the timing after expert women. There was some confusion with their results and after that nothing seemed to get posted up that made sense.
After about an hour I asked Mike for my T-shirt and put the truck in drive, it was time get back to Tahoe.
I know I didn't do very well. Went down hard enough to shake my brain a bit, so I was off pace enough that I got passed a couple times. That means dead last as far as I am concerned, but I would still like to know.

I waited til dark for results and nothing, I ride in the sport class.... the times that were given to the experts are messed up too....a buddy of mine caught the guy in front of him but somehow that guy beat him by 11 seconds...... the timing was a joke....
I left when it got dark as well. I want to know how I did with half a practice run. 
What age group was your buddy in? So you realy think those times are F'd up aswell? I was in cat 1, 40 to 49 and those times were printed out. I assume they were correct???? it seems like lately the times at Boot have been meesed up for last couple of races IMO.
Eh, its not that big of a deal to me. Mind you I wasn't all together high on the idea of an $85 entry fee, but I have come to accept that bike races are a bit of a circus no matter what you do.
Would love it though just for training to have

I'm not sure on cat 1 mens as I didn't get to race due to injury and my teammate's time seemed sort of legit, but I know the cat 1 women's times were printed out but probably not right. At least they didn't seem right after talking to some people about them.
I was in cat 2 30-39.... my buddy was in cat 1 19-29 or something like that.....as far as your times go, I really don't know....
I appreciate any promoter that works hard to put on a race,no one is claiming it's easy, but when you charge premium prices ($170 for 3 events and having to use their shuttle on Friday's practice day), you ought to be able to deliver a quality product. There were organizational issues as well as timing issues for both the DS and DH, not aware of any for the SD.

Wow, the time I saw of mine at the races was so far off of what those results say. Man, I suck!
That's Ok you're doing better than me, I've watched the video of me coming across the finish line, and my official time.....DNF
I watched you come across. Very suspicious results 
I just wonder how I got beat by Landon Petruzzi and Landen Petruzzi in the chainless. I also have a faster time in the chainless, which is certainly encouraging but doesn't seem accurate.

I'm very curious as to what is going on with times. The times I saw were more than 10 seconds off. Very odd.
If the times are right, I did okay... well in the dh.
Dirtmcgirk didn't get last.

If so, I beat you! Freaking crack head.
Only because you rode the course more than halfway.
Excuses are like assholes.Only because you rode the course more than halfway.
Rad, I beat people.
That made an already kick ass Thursday even more better.
