That's about what the last qualifier for the night show is.
He's showing some decent skills (but not even that sort of speed) on a track that he's been riding all day and has dozens of attempts at the obstacles, that's not even close to what he would be facing at Anaheim.
7 seconds separates 1st from 40th at the average SX event. No way he gets within that.
But he'll have some great content for his LSD videos and he's created a lot of buzz!!!!!!!

Hopefully he is still trying to get someone to approve it from the stadium tomorrow, that'd make for some better drama.
"All the while, the Instagram analytics will be melting and they will have numbers to show sponsors."
In this day and age, so much is just about your social media presence / footprint.
Well, that's a pretty good observation / question!
Will Kerr do the SX Futures race the next day? I daresay they change the track , but, if he's serious about this whole SX thing, you'd think he'd have a go at at least getting a ride / race in a Stadium. Unless that would preclude him from doing a fully fledged SX - I sure as hell don't know the rules on that - and he is still intent pushing this 'project' of his / his sponsors, further.
You were the first voice of dissent and look where its ended up.
All the people who think he shouldn't be able to compete can go eat a bag of dicks.
(P.S: Speaking of "loop holes" - stop sending AMA riders to compete for Puerto Rico at the MXdN - that actually impacts smaller countries and is highly offensive - unlike a good natured Brit trying to make the night show for lols)
EDIT: If Feld wanted to "grow the sport" what better way than some cross pollination ?? Instead they will probably just cosy up to Maxxis and steal another sponsor. Im so dusty about this.

Me, I would have liked to see how his speed compared on the track
Bummer.. was stoked to see how he would go
I know Aaron was a nobody in the moto world, but his transition to DH was almost embarrassing. Go watch guys like Russel Bobbitt ride a mountain bike, you'll see the same almost 6th sense level bike handling. He would be a formidable contender at the national level in Enduro if he chose to do so.
The issue with the top guys is by the time they hop on a mountain bike they are...
1) 100% dedicated to their moto training program (and risk tolerance)
2) They generally end up on a road bike with knobby tires (why do they all ride XC bikes?!)
3) They have next to nothing to gain by charging.
I am yet to see a mountain bike guy this side of Kerr do anything remotely amazing on a moto. Can you name any?
As a guy who transitioned myself, I can tell you I think its a lot easier to go to no throttle, no clutch, and a stupid easy to use transmission than it is to go from a 35 pound bike to a 230 pound bike that has a LOT more going on with a lot higher risk tolerance. Oddly my time on a mountain sled really helped the jump. Throttle is nice, but its also incredibly difficult to "just learn".
Either way, I really hope Kerr gets a crack. Such a talented dude!
while still crushing it on a snowboard, downhill mountain biking and owning a snowboard company.
"Doing something amazing" on a motorcycle is not at all the same as being an experienced racer, but this is the 30 second Instagram world we live in now.
If Bernard Kerr wants to do something amazing, he should try to qualify for Loretta's or show up to Mammoth and race the pros.
I think a better example would be Doug Henry. He rocked up at Mount Snow in ~2002 when those NORBA races were basically World Cup fields, and did respectably. The best part was that he was wearing hiking boots and running toe clips. Hahaha
