The photog's use to help pull bikes down from the hillside, they had tow ropes and would get people back on the road before anyone even knew there was an accident. The problem is that if they do that, riders can flee the scene of an accident and the photog can get in trouble for assisting. They stopped doing it because they are trying to operate legitimate businesses. They let the cops and tow trucks do the work now. They continue running their business like they should. They have no issue helping with someone injured til medical services arrive, but bike recovery is not part of their services and it shouldn't be because of the legal rammifications that can come from it.

Other locals stopped to help this guy out to guide his bike back up the hill with the tow truck people so they wouldn't fuck up his bike. There was more than this photog at this turn when it happened. The guy had assistance and was very thankful to the people that helped him out. A local even followed this man to wheeler's because he had no rear brake and a partially stuck throttle, but that probably isn't helpful enough to you.

some of that is helpful; thanks for providing info. had you done it from the beginning, i would have shut up. but no, you came running back with your unnecessary name-calling. pretty douchey of yourself.

Naw I still gotta disagree with you, its not the photogs job. I'm sure he would have helped if the guy was dying on the road but the guy needs to make a living, and the only way they make money is by taking photos, plus how many asshats do you think wreck right in front of them? If they tried to help recover every bike they would never take any pictures.

I've never seen a NASCAR camera man run onto the track after a crash to make sure the driver was ok...

Just sayin'
