didn't he also just give a hull away to a junior rider? didnt he drive himself to every stop on the tour? didn't he do the announcing for amateurs? hasn't he helped countless riders in this sport (and many on this board, myself included?)
personally, i wouldnt have trashed my trophy, but then again, i do this as a hobby, on my spare time. jason devotes his day to day life to this sport. he does much more than just sit and type all day at a computer, he's out there involved, committed, and helping, putting his money where his mouth is. he's not the first pro guy ive seen have a temper breakdown. people are human.
he's busted his hump all year and i think he just felt that he was treated unfairly. i spoke to him this morning. i'm not defending his actions, but let's keep 'the big picture' in perspective. i dont know many people who devote as much time, effort, and their lives to the sport the way jason does.
everyone has their faults. this is one incident highlighted by a thread started by some coward hiding behind a keyboard in some hotel room somewhere, typical poser bs.
