KR is the man. He'll have some tough competition, but I expect him to surpass the JMB excellence. KR has the gift of gab for the American public and MX community. JMB always struggled with connecting with the US MX fans. It wasn't until after he left our sport that JMB was appreciated.

As and American, I hate to see a "foreigner" take our titles, but KR is a great guy. I really look forward to his attendance next year and hope we can hold our own.

PS.

Why do my "negative posts" about JS7 get deleted? I know they may not be popular, but isn't that what a message board is about? To share opinions?

Maybe not here... OC or Guy B? Which one of you pulled the trigger?

I have no problem with riders coming over and earning some of the spotlight. Helps when they have a good attitude though! Bummer that more of the "next big things" coming out of the amateur ranks here in the states don't get more support though.

Newman,
Based on my "outsider" observations, KR has been nothing but accomodating. He seems friendly, funny and very competative. I was fortunate to hang around this past weekend and I was impressed. I don't know when I'll be around again, but he set a very solid example so far for me.

I agree, I'd like to see US rider get the exposure, but KR shows a great talent for gaining positive attention. I hope he doesn't get hurt!

He'll be very tough to beat, but I hope we do...

KR ??? Nah, you'll have to find another name for Herman the German. KR IS Kenny Roberts (snr). Always was, allways will be....
