If you are a Kenny fan you won't have a problem with his reply. If you find Kenny excessively annoying this just adds confirming fuel to the fire.

Kenny needs more Andrew Short in his life

Professional athletes typically don’t manage their own social media, and this is why.  They spend way too much of their life being objectified by the public at work.  Social media allows people to mouth off anonymously to people.  There is no way that goon would ever say something like that to Kenny face to face in an autograph line.  Kenny needs to get with the program and hire someone to manage his social media so he can clear his head of negativity and concentrate on getting better.

Good on him, if some moron commented that on any of your post you would blow up right?

He is a human, stop thinking these riders are robots and can't do human things.

There's definitely something to be said about being above comments like this and not letting them affect you. Ken has paper thin skin though so he'll likely never get to that point. 

What if it’s not affecting him? 
 

The man said his piece, and Ken told him to STFU. 
what’s the matter with that?

Name one time Tomac or Dungey or Webb (list goes on) responded to an ignorant, but relatively benevolent, comment the way Ken did (and does). His reactions to things are not ordinary

I disagree, I think it is very ordinary. 
most of us would do the same and snap back at someone, I know I would. 
 

what you mean is, it’s not typical of a pro rider to do this. 
 

but that doesn’t matter- there aren’t ‘rules’ Ken has to follow, unless his sponsors say so.

Good for Ken IMO, nobody has the right to talk down to him.

Consistency will be very important for the SMX championship. He should play that card and I think he does. Smart approach considering a lot of things.

Who here is defending the troll? No one that I've seen. Replying to trolls is cringe; especially for a professional athlete. Ken seems like he has better things to do.

This is what the modern social media lifestyle is all about. I see no reason Kickstart can't snap back when someone is acting a fool. It may be childish but it's the new normal.

"I see no reason Kickstart can't snap back" Pun intended? LaughingLaughingLaughing

Sarcastic? Calling someone an idiot when you're actually calling them an idiot isn't sarcasm. Calling him a genius in this situation would be sarcastic.  A sarcastic comment would probably have looked better.

Two things going on here. One is a fragile ego and the other is not knowing the basic rule of don't feed the trolls.

I think Kenny Kick Start Kicked him where it hurts, a recoile back to the shin.  Tongue. Kick Start Kenny is brilliant.  

All puns aside, Kenny is riding good...and smart for sure.   He has proven its 90% rider 10% bike (on a factory team at least).

Im thinking Ken shouldve said you can ride for me  at Anaheim. I’ll watch and learn. 🤪honestly ,don’t suffer a fool. No response is sometimes the best response. I think K roc is riding great so far and will only get better.

Kenye.  How did this nickname just now come out? 😆🤣 dead on 

I can't take credit for that....I saw it in another Kenye thread a while back.

 

Bottom line...I am a fan of Ken.  Respect for what he's been thru (injuries, health issues).  The guy is an incredible talent.

....but holy shit man, he has a problem with "runofthemouthidis".     

Why respond at all to some idiot on the internet.   It just makes you look small.

Same can be said here on Vital...why get into a pissing match with someone when they attack you.      (Not that I haven't taken a few shots back in my day)

Thank you! 

Think about the irony of all of this. 

The VERY SAME people that have bitched & whined & moaned that…

”Motocross has gone corporate!” or “Riders are to too serious and should remember that racing is fun!” or “Riders don’t communicate with the fans!” …those SAME people are saying…

Kenny shouldn’t be posting on HIS OWN SOCIAL MEDIA…?! Are you serious? I, for one, LOVE KR’s “pissed off”/“Fuck you!” moments. I also loved El Hombrè’s “Barcia is a Bitch” tweet. How about The Chiz posting on Vital? AWESOME! RC’s passive Tweets that shut down the idiots? PRICELESS! The various podcasts…from James awesome “Neck-Burn!”to the ALL Designer Moto Kardasihianesque wannabes & The King of Moto Media that’s literally called me a “Cock Holster” a guy known as Matthes the Hockey Fan that DOES NOT DRIVE A REAL TRUCK …even Jody and his Orange Helmet Assassins…Davey and the Racer X Mafia…that Stoner Down Under…SUPER HUNKY reposts in my texts shared with other old dudes…all of it…all of that INSANITY…and the rest  the Fast & Loose World that is…The Moto Media…even those uptight corporate types at Dirt Rider (just pulling Allan Brown’s chain)…

I love ALL OF IT. 

The one thing I’d change? There are corporate sponsors, sanctioning bodies, agents, promoters and other entities that need to completely STFU and let these people be…human. That’s the thing I like about Kenny…NO ONE is shutting him down and he’s allowed to be…

Human. 

Some of you that are bitching should try it.

Oh…and…Sorry, not sorry.

They are all "allowed" to do these kinds of things. Most of them are just mature enough and have enough self-control to not have a mini meltdown because some random poked at them on Instagram.

It's small and weak in my opinion. Which doesn't mean anything other than this is why I'm not a fan of Kenny anymore. 

He's lost the wholesome in it for the love of the game persona he had up until a few years ago.

The fact he lashes out like this and then deletes the posts or comments is all you need to know....either he regrets it or there is a voice of reason behind him encouraging him to delete them. Either way, after a few of them you'd THINK he'd learn from all the other times...and just not do it in the first place.

The post and then delete thing reminds me of someone; have Kenny and J Sloan ever been seen in the same room together?
