• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

The Wil Hahn Crash - Anaheim 1 - 2015

Did anyone read what happened here? It may just be the camera angle but it looks like he got no lift at all from the forks on the take off ramp...

Did he make the mistake of chopping the throttle too much (like you or I might do) or did his bike under-perform at that time ... He could have lost traction maybe but I just can't tell what caused his bike to nose-dive so badly from this viewing angle.

That's your Husqvarna rider there in front of Wil ... Without Husqvarna at this show, it was a little on the slow side to watch.


Heal up Wil and we'll see you in the MX season ...
 
No clue how it happened but did you ever see his crash last sx season? Broke his collarbone, fractured skull, and some other stuff. I'm really surprised he came back from the fractured skull part.

Did you get to watch the heat races? They were better then the mains, especially 250's
 
Looks to me like he missed a shift, roost in the corner, then nothing and looks like there was no power to the ground on takeoff. sucks

Hope he is alright. Sounds like an arm injury so far? TBH, that is about how I jump...:o

you can add a bunch more stuff onto that injury list....he will be out for a while.
Glad he's basically ok, those pile driver hits are super bad.

SX just seems a little too much for me.... But Super Enduro is cool!

Wil's hospital pic should come with a warning statement: View at your own risk till you have the morning coffee ...

The rider feels as if he missed a shift? How you explain that 'as if' combo of words? Next, he did not case it really, as in actually getting his front wheel over the receiver ramp that would allowed the rear wheel to maybe absorb the impact and possibly give the rider a chance to make it ... Wil nose dived like a b52 bommber in ww2 movies ...

Rhythm sections can be tricky but jumping-into AND jumping-out-of these sections is not that big a deal as its just a single \ DBL jump ... That was mine and other old guys' winning formula here when we could not do the entire section. Jump-in and jump-out and roll the stuff in the middle ... If you get a lead, roll the entire section. That's the old guy racing here and it helps make it safe for the rider.

What ever happened, happened ...at best that statement above is poor writing and paints a ~different picture from the actual crash ...

those danged air forks......

We have griped on here about how these 4cs and air forks suck and A Mart goes out in his heat with "blown out forks" , riding 4-5 inches lower than normal and thinking the hole shot device was stuck and qualified 4th in his heat. Totally amazing rider to cope with that and not pull off like most riders would.
