Beyond those chilling hours of trying to make sense of the news and horrific images it gets fuzzy.\nThis is a story about what the members of Team USA 2001 did on the morning of Sept. 11. How they reacted, where they went, what decisions they made. Or didn’t make.\nIt’s difficult to write a story about something that didn’t happen. Team USA didn’t go to Belgium for the 2001 Motocross of Nations. Heck, it’s hard to remember the story behind something that didn’t happen.\nAnd that’s why I wrote a story about a team that didn’t go, about bikes that didn’t get ridden, about memories difficult to unpack. Telling stories isn’t always easy, especially when it’s something nobody really wants to remember.\nThank you to the 21 people interviewed for this and those who helped with the photo assets. Want to read the print story and see more of the photos of the Team USA bikes? \nYou can find that at this link.\nHelp us continue to tell stories such as this one by checking out our apparel, hats and artwork at shop.wewentfast.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/we3rdEDl6EfcnhnO5wkzRwC14kmOYC8eVAkbzulwE_c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxOTI0LzE2ODU0/Njc1NDMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
