The dude has the heart of a lion and the speed of a cheetah! I'm so damn impressed with him. So inspiring. That's all! lol

Oh wait, one more thing. I bet his dad would be the proudest father ever at how his son has turned out.

Well said. Always thought he was brought up well, and hope his mum reads this.

I am not a huge fan of the whole god thing, but he comes across as a decent and genuine person.

Trey's doing just what he needs to do - not worry about anything but a solid season MX and then SX. Awesome rides.

I think your confused about that whole "God thing", what Trey is "a decent and genuine person" is what that whole "God thing" is all about, what you see in Trey is a living example of what God wants Christian people to be like, if every person claiming to be a Christian acted like Trey does, perhaps you would be a fan of the whole "God thing". I'm not trying to start anything, I just truly believe that the reason people are drawn to Trey is because of his faith, even if they don't see it.

The last thing I like about Trey is his faith. I don't care about it one way or another. There are plenty of great people out there who are not of faith. What I do love about him is how hard he rides; he fights the whole time. I've definitely become a fan of his. Plus all that he's come back from is pretty damn amazing too.

He's a true fighter on the track. Always seems to be pushing it as much as he can, and haven't seem him make a dirty move while doing so. Off the track he's indeed an example of how people can & should be, regardless of his beliefs.

He's definitely not afraid to push people wide; we've seen it a bit this season. Wouldn't call it dirty though, he doesn't divebomb like Barcia does

I have a lot of respect for the guy. Awesome racer and he has come through a lot of bad injuries. But yeah I don't follow him on any social media because of the constant preaching. It's ok to believe in fairy tales just don't expect me to aswell.

Yeah, for fans of him who don't share the same beliefs it's a little off putting when almost every tweet is a passage.

With that said, it's his twitter and his belief and he can say whatever the fuck he wants. Still a bad-ass on a bike and a very likeable person too.

Would love to see him get a win this year!

Huge canard fan here! Really enjoy watching him ride, great style! Soooooo good to see him healthy! I have to admit, i have been impressed with his consistency in the outdoors so far. He was off the pace at muddy creek and you could tell he was disappointed, but at most of the races this year he has been in the mix at the front. Really thought he was going to go 2-2 yesterday, nobody had anything for kenny, but the way he was handling pressure from dungey and tomac was pretty dang impressive!

Can't wait to see him get a w!!!

A quick little story about what kind of guy he is....

A few years back I rented Copper Land to have the first annual "Huckfest" (little did we know it would be the last too, but that's another story).

I had put the word out on vital and a few other spots, and let trey's mom know as well. When we got to Stillwater, I figured I needed somebody at the gate collecting money, so the night before I asked the bartender at outback if her and her friend wanted to make some cash. They showed up bright and early the next morning and I gave them a list of "comps". I had told everybody that if you have a national number, you got in for free.....

Well, a shit-ton of people ended up coming and after about an hour or so, my gate girl had been charging everybody that came through the gate....including Robbie Reynard, Justin Boggle (who was still an amateur), and Trey. Word got back to me that RR's girlfriend/wife was making a bit if a scene telling the girl that "he's Robbie Reynard, he shouldn't have to pay!" My girl stuck to her guns and made them pay.

So I got get $40 out of my wallet and plan on giving trey and Robbie their money back. I first go to Robbie's van and introduce myself and explain what happened and that I was giving him his money back. His only reply was "just put it on that bag". Now he may be the nicest guy in the world, but he seemed very short and rude.

Then I head over to trey's van. This was the year he was fighting for his national championship. I introduce myself and he comes over to shake my hand and thank me for renting the track and allowing everybody to come out and ride. I explain to him about the gate and that he was supposed to be a comp. He asked "did everybody else pay, and did you have to pay to rent the track?" I told him yes and he said "then you keep my $20. If everybody else paid, then so should I". I told him that I appreciated that, but it was worth $20 to me to see him ride." He thanked me again, shook my hand and continued to get geared up.

Halfway through the day, I was chatting with his mom and shooting the breeze. He pulled back into their pits and his mom introduced us...he told her that he already meet me, then thanked me again for letting everybody ride.

A little later on the track, I was jumping a jump and heard him coming. I was on the far left side of a jump and he passed me completely sideways....and extremely close to me!!!! I rode another lap and pulled off, thinking I just about took him out while he's trying to get a national championship. Him and Justin were doing a moto, so at the end he rode up to my pit to apologize for getting so close. I told him I thought it was my fault. He said "you kept your line, I'm the goon that go cross rutted and almost hit you, sorry!!!"

After that trip, I knew I'd always be a Trey Canard fan!!!!

You may not like his religious beliefs, but it's hard to not admire his conviction....in all he does. To me, there's no better embassitor for our sport!!!!

That was such a great weekend. Never forget it.

I've been a big TC fan since he was in the amateurs. I knew he'd go far. Plus the fact of how he's come back from injury has been nothing short of amazing.

I've always dug Trey and cheer for that guy every weekend. But it has nothing to do with his faith. I don't cheer for him because he believes in God. And I know quite a few people on this planet that are just " Good people " because they choose to be that way......and to them God doesn't have anything to do with it.

Yep.. Someone in this thread crossed the line, and it isn't hard to figure out who. I won't miss him.

It should be reasonable to most reasonable people. There aren't national championship points being handed out for douchebaggery
