Nice video, thanks!

Kroc says "I really don't care what other people say, I just wanna have fun!"
Do you really think he even doesn't care what all the Vitards here say? NO WAY Wink

Vital has been surprisingly respectful of Roczen. We all now Bagget owns Hangtown. And Frrestone is too hot. But he should be a serious threat from Thunder Valley on, unless Freestone knocks him out

Kenny rules!! Cool

My best friend Craig got to take his son to his 1st pro race at Hangtown and even got to meet his heroes.

Roczen was two turns from winning, so I think he's already a serious threat. I'm predicting Roczen and Dungey win this weekend.

Barcia beat Roczen too though, so it's not just that Baggett owns Hangtown. Gotta give the other guys some credit. Wink

I see what you mean, I`m just saying that it is quite evident from last year and this year that Bagget owns Hangtown. And even though I`m a fan of Kroc, I don`t think he`ll start winning until after Freestone. It`s a weird track with gruelling heat. Thunder Valley was were he killed it in the MXDN`s, so I`m expecting him to do well there. Along with Steel City and Unadilla, as those tracks are quite similar to what he is used to from Germany and the GP`s.

Barcia definitely surprised me, I just don`t think he has the same speed as the other two Smile

Two things about this video, bench-racing...

Roczen was downright impressive at Hangtown. We do know Baggett hauls there, as he proved last year, but Kenny was game and rode hard and smart, just like Baggett and Barcia. Once he learns the system -- one-day format, different pace, different tracks (much rougher than he's probably been hearing) -- he will be as tough to beat as anyone.

Second, don't give up on Marvin, he had a cast on a week ago. When Musquin gets healthy and fit, he will be up there too.

(And I gotta say, in my biased opinion, Chad DeRosa had an epic day making this video and the Hangtown Remastered clip. Lots of great shots for one guy with one camera!)

I was really impressed with Marvin, gettin out there just a week or so after surgery, tuff as nails!

...and dont get me started on Kenny Cool though that 1st moto...damn Bagget about broke my heart!

Regardless we are in for an amazing season!

Any reason why I can't see the video on the rx page? Do I need to update something?

Ken's a great kid! He has a great attitude and a lot of heart! He is a hard worker! It was really great working with him on this vid.

I wouldn't quite say that Bagget OWNS Hangtown, its not like he won by a mile! Sure he won, but it was by the hair on his chin!
