saw it earlier today, he looks superfast. Do you think he will be up and competing on the podium this year?

He could have had two wins last year right?

Can never count him out.

I know you can never count him out of a win but on the vids it looks like he has stepped up his game. So what i woundered, do you think he will be up there every week and battle with the big 5?

If he rides like he did in Vegas every race, he could win the championship (imo).

He will always be there when the top 5 take each other out, you can count on that.

Realy smooth, but I don't know about superfast. Looks like he could crank out 100 of those laps & very controlled (except for the whoops). His height in the whoops really pays off though, he uses allot of body english & always seems to bring the bike back. Incredible rider.

Poetry in motion. Such a natural talent. I'll bet when he's 60 he'll still look great on a bike. He dosant strike me as a guy that will quit riding when he retires from racing.

Problem is for KW he can be one of the fastest on the track for the first 10 laps and then slow down the last 10, seen it so many times. I don't think it's ever been KW's fitness either, seems to be a mental thing throughout his career of tightening up in the second half of races

Does make it look so easy. Is fast for sure. I hope he does well. Seems like a cool dude. He is one guy that I would love to see ride a two stroke again. His bike skills are second to none.

Funny you mention that, I used to race at Swan mx in Tyler Tx & Kevin raced there all the time on 60's. Yes he looked great even then!

No. Kdub used to run factory suspension but they now run re-valved stock components!

Man, he makes it look fun, and easy. The track looks pretty tight and sort of small. Probably just the camera angle. You know, he's only in his early thirties. Is that really that old? Now, if he was 38+, then he may be getting on up there for MX/SX, but he still has a lot of ride in him.

What Sherwood said layinbody.

Kdub even mentioned it once or twice in podium interviews. Common knowledge Wink

Gotcha... well thanks for the info then Smile

It's been a while since he's been up on the podium so I probably haven't heard him mention it for a while Wink
