So much "he will never be the same after this injury, he will slow down like the rest if he ever comes back" bullshit going on. People forget Villopoto back in 2010 at St. Louis smashed his leg up pretty bad bailing on a triple. Comes back to win 4 straight 450sx titles. So many crystal ball readers here.
It's a serious injury. It will take time. Nobody knows what will happen.

I stated "I will be surprised if he races again".....I was saying that for the sake of those who didn't understand the severity of what he is going to go thru emotionally and physically. In order for them to have an understanding that they are running their mouths about a kid who's whole career is in jeopardy. The thing that a kid loves to do, his recreation, his hobby and his job could be taken away......and you choose to be happy because he wore a suit to a presser? Because you think he's cocky? Because you think now your guy can win easy? Because you hate Honda? Because you think his SHIFT gear is ugly? Yikes, those people should never throw a leg over a bike, just stay home!
KTM was never gonna do good in the US.
Dungey will never win another championship.
People making those bold claims just prove they know jack shit about the sport.
RV when he blew his leg apart , but came back stronger than ever. RD breaking a vertebrae in his neck , looks faster than ever. Tomac put on 5 moto's in a row of utter domination on that Honda a couple years ago ( Although he's lost something since then , not sure what? ) And now Kenny.....which will be fine I bet once he gets going again. These top athletes find ways to make things work again. And Kenny is one determined son of a bitch. I see him coming back and hauling ass just like he did before. Last years outdoors was a clinic if I've ever seen one.
Have some faith in these guys , they are freakin' animals.
For those saying he won't be the same, or won't race anymore, or blah blah blah might want to go look up Doug Henry. He broke his back one year, broke both his arms the next year and then the year after that came back and won 450MX title (1998 is was called 250MX still).
He will be back. The Dark Knight will rise again!

Hopefully he gets right back to where he left off. Not everybody can come back from an injury like that and win 4 championships like RV. Injuries slow some down more than others. We will see.
However...do you really think kr didn't provoke any backlash with his social media meltdowns of teenage proportion? Have you been on Facebook or YouTube lately? Concern for human safety is long gone...it's all agenda now...
i didn't read many of them...but I guess you are right that there is a difference between saying 'figured that might happen' and 'hahah told you so'
"the twigs we bend on the way to the top become the branches we hit on the way down..."
No one knows for sure though so we will have to wait and see. I don't see him being back this year though which sucks.
But, the gear I have from the 80's I believe may have prevented Ken from breaking his wrist/forearm. I've crashed in it and didn't feel a thing.
I'll see if I can find all the parts and post a picture later.
