Most photographers consider taking photos of someone when they are laying on the ground injured to be bad form. If the rider gets up and rides away that's one thing, but photos of Jennie on the ground really isn't cool. It also looks bad for the series, sponsors, the track, etc.

Who wants to see someone hurt? I like to see a good crash now and then, but I also want everyone to get back up and walk away... Ambulances are not a good motivator.

If you dident see the picture then you are commenting with no point of reference.The picture was the only one taken of the crash. Not sensationalized! Good on the track Crew and everyone involved. This is the last response I am giving. We are huge Jennie fans and for that mater fans of all action sports athletes and do not aim to exploit misfortune but we do report reality!!

Guys

Jennie is ok and that is the important thing.

I spoke to the photographer and he was actually trying to show props for Jennie in that she took a pretty nasty fall and thankfully is ok. The photo is literally as the crash happened. The post on his site is very respectful of how she is a tough lady who always wears a smile. We are all happy that one of our favorites is going to be ok.

So please, lets just end this post right here.

Thank you, sincerely.
