Apparently he wasn't hurt. This was on some track in Hawaii (and I use the term track loosely).

Have you seen the scene in faster. The one with Gary McCoy?

You know, where he gets into a huge slapper and then saves it? As much as I hate him, that was cool.

The guy was alright I believe, like G said. But I think the new 600RR he was on was a goner.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Hahaha yeah there were a couple of good saves (and more crashes) in Faster.

Why you hate McCoy? He seems destined to crash with his mad d0r1ft0 slip angles :lol:

Now Maz Biaggi, there's a guy I don't like. And they put him on a Repsol Honda this year! :evil: I think this year Yamaha is going to have an excellent shot at taking the manufacturer's title from Honda with the Rossi/Edwards combo. However I'm glad the big H got Bayliss and now Tamada is on Michelins so who knows how that will turn out.

McCoy's personality just kind'a irks me. I told a friend of mine that I thought Gary never really grew up... he told me that he IS a motorcycle racer. So, well, he's got some serious drive and I can appreciate that. He and Hopkins were like, the Odd Couple.

Biaggi. Man, what a character. Some days I think I know how he feels. One of the folks in Faster said he's riding a ghost... that he's got something to prove. I'm sure we've all had a day like that. That said, though, I don't like him either Smile

My biggest complaint, though? That Rossi can't design a better looking helmet Wink Otherwise I'd have me a Rossi lid!

I'm with you - I think the Yamaha team should be awsome to watch this season. It's like we've got our own little Cinderella story - turned nightmare on Elm Street. Repsol really seems to be losing their touch without Rossi, you think?

Well Repsol lost Biaggi and Jeremy Burgess (crew chief) as well as some of the rest of the crew to Yamaha so it was a big blow to them. This seasons Erv Kanemoto from Honda (the legendary race engineer) will be working with Biaggi so it should be a good battle. I just don't think Biaggi has what it takes to beat Rossi. As Kevin Schwantz said it faster, "Rossi's got more than Biaggi's number. He's got his address, his social security number, his license plate..." Maybe this will be Max's year but this is Rossi's second year on the M1 and now he has Colin Edwards to back him up.

Honestly I hope Gibernau, Tamada, or Rossi steps up to beat Rossi, if indeed anyone can do it.
