I think he's going to move up a level with his results this year.

I think he'll get a win this year, but wont be consistent enough for championship, probably due to starts.

I think the dudes awesome.. He's doing his own thing still, and not living off of James' accomplishments. He's got amazing style (as you can see) and just has fun on his bike.. That worked for Deano this year.. Give him a bit of time, he'll be winning. Go Mookie!

What exactly do you mean by that?

I think I saw a Joe Gibbs video where Mookie was there riding with his brother and some other riders. How could you not want to take some tips from one of the fastest to ever ride a motocross bike?

Be serious man

Either way he will be fast and was fast last year but needed some consistency which will help a bunch in his finishing positions. He sure got his brothers jumping ability and isn't scared to link some crazy rhythm sections together. Cant wait to see how he has progressed so far.

If he ups his corner speed, he will do some damage. That's just MHO.

I can't help but wonder if he is more of a Josh Hill kinda guy- He's big and I think would shine on a 450...granted thats a tough class but at least his size would be an advantage-

I do agree that at that level races are won in the corners....But, have you watched the kid ride? I dont think his corner speed is lacking that bad. I think he needs more endurance, better starts, and to stay off the ground. Pretty good rookie season if you ask this me.

His endurance does need to improve, but if he could ride all day the guys that were beating him last year still will this coming year if he doesn't work on his corner speed. That's just MHO.

I think he went through the usual first year stuff last season and will do much better this season.
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him on the podium.

I've heard numerous interviews from JAMES complimenting Malcolm's corner speed. Sounds like the problem is fixed.
