"At that point, it was just
regroup; when I got up, I don't
know, it just took me off my
game a little bit, plus Ryan was
riding great, too. We had an
identical pace, I think. That was
it when I dumped it over. We
were just pushing each other, I

for us, I just made a mistake. In

Red Bull KTM's Justin Hill sat out
the East/West Shootout after crash-
ing during his 250 West heat race.
Hill hit his head in the fall and, even
though he passed the required con-
cussion test, he chose to skip the
Shootout and start planning for the
outdoors.
