I used to me into scrambling but stopped due to the costs never done weston though have seen it a few times but imo its to dangerous letting so many bikes out at once all it takes is for one to fall and thats it there all down

Not good at all. RIP

Doesn't look like the best weather for this. Expect there will be an investigation and the typical knee jerk reaction to cease doing it.

RIP for the lad that died

just from looking at that video you can see an accident was going to happen; hardly any visability!

the track looked really narrow too

RIP

That race should never have ran in those conditions, surely the stewards could see what was going to happen with the lack of visibility.
