I haven't watched a BMX race since I was about 7 years old. The course was technical to say the least with a huge gap jump after the start and another huge double later on the track. These guys are amazing how fast they go and the distance they jump. Derek Betcher landed sideways during a semi and got some medical attention. Luckily he walked off the track a few minutes later under his own power. Robbie Miranda crashed in his semi also and missed the cut as did 56 of the other racers who had qualified for the Supercross earlier on. 
The main looked like this: Randy Stumpfhauser (USA), Donny Robinson (USA), Brandon Meadows (USA), Mike Day (USA), Aaron Johnson (USA), Michal Prokop (CZE), Jason Rogers (USA), and Arnaud Dubois (BEL). Mikey Day took the lead but came short on a jump which gave Czech Republic's Prokop the lead for the remainder of the exciting race. 2006 #1 pro Donny Robinson and Arnaud Dubois from Belgium complemented the podium in San Jose.Lloyd Ramsay.
