He's endured plenty of crap over the years, from fans and the industry. Some of this you could argue has been brought on by himself or his family. But despite this he has always worked hard and tried to be the best motocross racer he can be.
And that impresses me.
What kind of diet do you try to stick to? Just lean foods in general or do you avoid certain food groups.

Did you get to see any trick stuff at the Öhlins factory?
Seems like you can run whatever you like on your bike, so why did you stop using Öhlins suspension?
Anyway, do you remember that happening & what did you think when you see Jeff helping you out??
Been a fan of yours ever since I saw you at Hawkstone. Whilst I think it's a shame you didn't win an AMA championship, everyone knows you've had championship winning ability/speed on multiple occasions.
My question is related to fun. Have you enjoyed racing so far? If so, what year(s) did you enjoy the most? From the outside looking in it kind of looked like there was an obscene amount of pressure and hype surrounding you at times.
Good luck in Canada this year, that #1 plate is yours.
The Suzuki that I was on for the past 4 years was a 2012. It was pretty out dated. I liked the feel of the 2016 Honda when I tested it because it felt like the 2012 Suzuki just new. It is very light and nimble.
Thanks. Being at Club MX this year has really helped me.
I use to stick to a very strict diet and it worked for me for a few years. Now I kind of eat what I want in a sense. I stay away from bad foods, well for the most part. I try to not eat a lot of bread and dairy. Mostly chicken and fish and red meat on occasion. Lots of veggies and protein seems to work the best for me.
I really liked Sweden. I'm sure you will see me back there again soon.
The Ohlins factory was badass. A lot of very interesting products there. I got a pretty cool Ohlins watch and I saw a lot of stuff that was pretty trick.
I stopped using Ohlins because the team decided to go in a different direction.

Hey I got a Question. When you had that Huge crash at Hangtown in 2008 did you have thoughts about retiring right after you were recovering from it and do you rate that as the worst crash you have had in your Career? And you and your holeshots are crazy bro do you practice your starts more than anything?
Keep up the good work and Wish you luck in Canada
That being said, my question is would you consider sticking around here and contributing with posts from time to time as your brother does? You seem to be able to articulate well whatever point you're trying to make. I think just seeing your responses here this week may have changed the sentiment towards you for more than one person here. I understand it's a small population here in the grand scheme of things, but any positive press is good press.
Good luck the rest of the year.
And you should buy mom that zero turn. One of the best lawn investments ever if you have a sizable yard.
No real question here. I just wanted to say it was cool to see you come do the off season races in NC the last few years.I hope you come back to the nationals soon.
Later man
Glad to see all the positive responses from you doing this QNA. We met at Thunder Valley a while back. You were definitely very cool that day and fast!
Good luck the rest of the season and up north.
Thanks for coming on vital and doing this. One memory I will always have was hanging out with you and Jeff eating lunchables and building tracks in between motos down at competition park back in 98 or 99 if i remember correctly. Fun times but with all the traveling, riding and racing you guys have done I'm sure you don't remember. Keep up the hard work and I'm sure many others will agree, I hope to see you win a championship this summer!
You've been known to try some rather unorthodox things looking any and all advantages.
From bike setup, training, metal preparation, physical health, etc.
Could you share something you tried that you didn't think would work, which ended up surprising you in it's effectiveness?
Boats, bikes, zero turns, hot wife. . ..
Geez, i need a job where you work.
Hook a brother up.
:-)
