Flotrack's Ryan Crashes Bike Into Hurdle Nick Symmonds Saves the Day

I agree, Flotrack is getting a lot of heat for Flotrack Pro, and it might be a tad expensive but they are doing a good thing for the sport.

I agree. It's a business for goodness sakes! They have every right to market and sell their product. It is amazing to me the entitled, "How dare you take my t&f away" attitude of some of people.

What a bunch of whining, entitled babies those who cry about flotrack daring to charge for a service. Get over yourself and grow up. If you don't want to pay, or can't afford it-yes (educate yourself and get a good job and maybe you can afford the few dollars a month later in life :)

Tru dat! Flotrack WOW:s are better than anything published on letsrun ever! I still visit letsrun more for the news and stuff but WOWs are the bees knees!

I wish a speedy recovery for Ryan. I tend to like him the best out of the crew they usually present for the RunJunkie videos.

But honestly, if he didn't crash until Nick's 3rd rep of the workout, didn't he see the hurdle on the track long before he crashed into it? Just asking, no hating. The Xray image shows a nasty break (at least it is a clean one).

Props for Nick for trying to help out. Give both of those guys a beer (and then ask Nick to do another mile).

Flotrack is awesome. Fenton is the man!

glad he is alright.....Ryan....be more careful in the future

It's incredible what these doofuses will do in the name of self-promotion. Screw up a professional athlete's workout while injuring yourself just to get your company's name in the headlines.

That's just dumb to think he did it on purpose.

He's being shooting workouts like that for years, and obviously just messed up.

Anyway, Fenton and Ken Selby are the highlights of Flotrack, so I hope he recovers soon.

Kevin Selby. DK who Ken is.

EXACTLY IT'S A BUSINESS...good businesses cater to the population which they serve, which in this case is mostly high school/college runners and select other members of society(aka parents who want to watch their kids race-probably most of the revenue they are getting from flotrack pro). As consumers who support their business (watch their videos, increase their hits, see the ads they have on there etc.) we have a right to complain when we think it's overpriced. Do I think they have the RIGHT to raise their price to whatever they want? yes of course. Do I think it is smart business decision to hide content like driven behind a pay wall when a significant number of people who pay for flotrack pro probably don't even know it is there? no...therefore I complain about it. They are exerting their right to charge and I am doing likewise in saying that I refuse to pay their price to watch content (which I would watch if it was free).

Expressing my opinion is one of the few ways I can get them to respond to what I want...therefore I will continue to "whine" about flotrack pro pricing until they change it. Remember it's all about the customer

No. It is REALLY not all about the customer. Sorry you bought into that little gem. And once you figure that out life will go a bit smoother.

wrong, who do you think buys the service or product of the business? the customers are important, not saying i don't think its great and don't love flotrack, i do. the only thing i don't like is the price for flotrack pro, alittle too high imo, but completely wrong on this.

well I'll be doggone wrote:

Symmonds says Fenton was out cold for about 20-seconds and his body started shaking a little as the Olympian yelled Fenton's name.

I knew fenton in high school back in portland, kid was an absolute moron, no one wanted him around. can't wait til he "accidentally" rides into traffic

Wow. No one wanted to be around him? How sad for those shallow people. And I assume since "nobody" wanted to be around him you certainly didn't want to be friends with someone that wasn't with the cool kids.

How sad. Ryan seems like a great person with a lot going for him. Wonder how all the Portland classmates of yours are fairing?

Lol Ryan's 5'5

It looks like all the Staff at Flotrack decided to long on and post on this thread today...

No one ever brown noses that much on this board...

FENTOOOOOON!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GRSbr0EYYU

I've met ryan fenton and I found him dislikeable.

I doubt you met the guy.

and flopro prices will increase because of this.

medical bills are INSANE. hopefully his insurance, if he even has any, is good.
