Thought this was so cool to see. Troy Dungey tending to his son's front wheel while Carlos tends to the rear.

Agreed. Love seeing dads continue to be a respectful part of their sons career.

Some of the best times in my life, just going racing with my son and forgetting the bs going on in the rest of the world

Weird question. If a bike part failed that his father worked on, would there be any liability or someone get fired?

Troy (Ryan's dad ) was his practice bike mechanic as far as I know he still is . My guess is he has turned a few wrenches on his sons bikes over the years . Ryan's brother Jade is also a factory KTM mechanic I think for Marvin now ?

The coolest thing about Dungey is his dad.Laughing

Badass construction dude with tattoos and shit, in contrast to a sickeningly perfect race boy.
Have to love Dungey though. One of the fastest class-acts ever.
And we need that.

Troy was wiping the front wheel off not performing any mechanical work.

Another cool Troy Dungey story: A friend of mine is good friend with the Dungeys and last year Troy went down to the line with my friend's son both motos at a local race in MN.

Man I love this sport.
