Big fan of Roczen, but this is unnecessary. Hope he stays in it all Summer!

No need to post on social media saying you don't care what people think, if you really don't care what people think...

I’m glad he’s not done racing. He’s a joy to watch.
I think by the comments and votes in here you can see the kind of "haters" he's addressing.

Hopefully he kills it outdoors this year and proves them wrong

I'm a fan of Ken. I've complained that he shares too much and gets a bit whiney in the past. I truly hope he has gotten his health issues settled.

That said.....

This post by him.....it just makes him look bad....again. It isn't a classy move at all. Like someone else mentioned...who is he trying to convince?

Don't talk shit....just come out and show everyone.

He's 1 of the more popular riders. He has no more "haters" than Jason, Webb, Eli etc. The difference is, they don't constantly cry about it on social media, tv, podium etc. It's instant eye-roll every time this guy talks (or types.) Great rider though.

I've unfollowed a lot of people over the years, and Ken is one.

No one cares about my whining about my job, so just shut up and ride Ken.

“I almost thought that I was done!”

So when people speculate on whether or not KR will ever return to where we’ve seen him before after bowing out of a series or having weird results and no answers from Ken himself other than “I don’t know what’s wrong with my body but I’m trying” they are instantly HaTeRz? Dude, you literally just said yourself that you thought you may be done in the same breath. Is he a hater of himself? Grinning

So he can contemplate on retiring but if anyone else wonders or thinks he might be calling it quits based on his results, actions and messages he puts out to the public it’s “FUCK YOU HATERS! Sorry, not sorry!” Okay dude, whatever you say… 👌

Him and Christian Craig both love to create their own little world where everyone is out to get them it seems.

This is professional. I like what someone said earlier, come in under the radar and kick butt and show people you aren't done.

I've always liked, and admired Roczen.
Even before his injuries.

But after that post ??
That, fuck you, can work both ways, boy.
No need to go full stank dog on the people who ultimately pay your salary.

I truly wish him well. I hope this post doesn't come back to haunt him...

A video would be better, where he calls out exact vital members.. 😁 Maybe somebody would start to feel special 😁

Kroc need to STFU and let his riding do the talking, this kind of stuff is what you would expect from a 8th grader.
I really wanted to see him win a SX championship but doubt he ever will now. Sad

If he was really serious he would go back to Aldon.

That would signal to the world (and his own subconscious mind) that he is a winner who can last the distance, and a stoic man who doesn't let emotions & past get in the way of future success.

Sometimes you need an asshole south african in your corner

Finally watched all of Monday's pulp show.
It's obvious that Cooper reads, but couldn't give a flying rat's ass about critics on social media.
And even if he did, you can be damn sure he wouldn't be bitching and moaning about it publicly.
That shows you're weak minded.
Something he's not.
Even said he'd rather run around in 2nd place then pass for the lead at the end, than holeshot and lead wire to wire.
The same thing Rossi used to do to gibernau.
Totally destroyed the guy mentally.

Kenny on the other hand.....
It's one cringe interview after another.
Culminating in this.

Holy crap !!!.
Nothing like broadcasting to your competitors that you're a bit of a head case.

If you really knew what you were talking about you would know that Aldon has a deal with the Austrian manufacturers, so even if Ken wanted to go back....the fact he rides a Honda keeps him out.

But hey, don't let little things like facts get in the way of your rant. Tongue

Haha, I think most people hold no animosity towards Ken. He seems to have let his insecurities and those of his critics live rent free in his head.
Hopefully he performs well this summer, awesome to watch. When, feeling good and on it, he has speed like no other. Watch some of his opening laps at times, incredible.
Good luck Ken, Wish you the best.

Gay. Drama queen. These guys are the most badass humans on the planet but it's funny to see how many insecurities they have. The social media takes away a lot of the mystery behind the eyes of these guys and breaks them down to regular humans. Back in the day.....RJ would just show up and let the riding do the talking.

BTW...i'm just being a cynical old man. I still can't believe that he's still racing after the arm injury.

Since you had likely as bad or worse injury all at one time, you understand the second thoughts and what a rider has to do to make himself take these risks all the time knowing only a few have your back and the rest rather see you replaced.

He is also of a nationality that is very stubborn and don't give up easy. I can relate.

LOL having two basically bionic arms has to suck totally 3/4 through moto.

People act like his injury wasn't severe. People should go back and do research before they make comments like that. They literaly almost had to amputate his arm but were just able to save it.

There it is...."BuT tHe iNjuRy!!!"

NOBODY is saying it's not miraculous he came back from those injuries. Nobody. It is, period. End of story. But that chapter is over....

This new chapter Kenny is writing is alienating even some of those die hard fans of his. This isn't about recovering from those injuries. This is about...wait, we don't KNOW what this is about. Was it the sickness after San Diego? Was it/is it EBV?

Kenny is yelling from the rooftops at all the "haters"...all while the haters are mostly just saying dude we don't know what's really going on. If he wants to communicate on social media, how about ACTUALLY communicating useful info instead of yelling at the sky.

He's acting like if he wins Pala he's going to be boo'd. He won't. He'll be celebrated by almost everyone. But then we'll all wonder when he's going to leave the series, then we'll wonder exactly why. It's going downhill fast....

How embarrassing of a post. Sure hope this doesn’t end the same as James Stewart’s I’m not done post on instagram.

Ken goes silent for a few months.

Vital - “Ken isn’t telling us what’s wrong, he must be done. Why won’t he tell us if he’s gonna retire?”

Ken - “Fuck everyone, I’m not done yet.”

Vital - “OMG so unprofessional, don’t share so much information!!”

Weird that he has an angry teenage girl writing his Instagram posts for him....hopefully that means he's busy riding.
