I hope Craig does well at Red Bud. I think he is going to turn a lot of heads at Millville.

Really bummed me out that he stepped away from it full time.

Over the years....I've seen guys come through the ranks , where you can just watch them ride and say " Man.....that kid has some serious talent "

There were a few races where he got a good start and he set some incredible lap times. He fit the 450 really well ( better than the 250 any day ).

If he could of only stayed healthy,......who knows how far that kid could of gone? It's my own opinion......but I seriously think he has more talent on a bike than some of the guys swapping around inside the top 5-7th place in some of the outdoors.

The kid is amazing to watch.

Makes sense. If he does good...great, but I have to imagine he doesn't want the pressure of having trick stuff and expected to perform. Though I have to think there are a few good parts hiding in that baby huh Gibby?

From what I was told, pipe and ignition. I'd guess Factory Connection did the suspension, and there are Pro Taper bars.

I agree. I watched him at Mini Os on a Yamaha and thought the same thing.
His last year racing I asked him to sign my old Sinisalo (remember those?) jersey and I asked him to sign it right next to that other goon with the same last name as him.Smile As soon as he saw his dads signature he was excited and asked "when did my dad sign this?" I told him long before you were born and then he asked me if he could show everybody and took it in the trailer and showed all the TLD guys.
I think its pretty cool that I got both him and his dads signature on the same jersey over 20 years apart along with Hannah,and Doug Henry.
