Ping knocking Kenny's cats... all right, THE GLOVES ARE OFF NOW!
I think that ping’s ‘straight’ interviews are probably the best moto entertainment made (away from the racing itself, obviously!). I remember the Nazi quip and cringed a little bit but chalked it up to him playing up to Hannah’s now tiresome image.
If I ran into ping I’d make it a point to thank him for the vast majority of his WTS content. I don’t view any of his personal social media so none of that would even come up. Unless it was straight up hateful rage, it probably wouldn’t matter anyway as I consider myself an adult and don’t get bent out of shape if someone doesn’t agree with everything that I think.
On the Roczen thing, it’s too bad that it has progressed this far without him going straight to Ken and addressing it. Ping has talked about going to bible study often and it may be a good idea to apply some of the teachings to his anger/resentment towards Roczen.
Either way, look forward to many more great interviews on WTS and I hope that Roczen is able to get some podiums and maybe even a couple wins in the Nationals.
I just want to throw Kenny a shout out. I've had the pleasure to meet and talk to him 2 times outside of race events - both times were in the airport when we were both traveling (yes, I travel a ton for work). He's one of the nicest and coolest people I've ever met. Never met Ping. Enjoy his podcast and dig listening to him on AX races. Can't we all just get along??
Ping's mistake was to state his political views and question the establishment. For that's he's being punished, and his political views will always color how his non-political views are interpreted. Even if Ping has a good point, he will still get crapped on which I would imagine in the only motivation the opening post had in mind when hitting the submit button. Unfortunately it worked as anyone reading this thread can see.

I can’t be the only one imagining Ping fuming at his screen while reading this thread and mumbling some Tucker Carlson mumbo jumbo.
Yea I quit listening to WTS because politics were creeping in.
I noticed Matthes doing it too so Im out on all things Pulp as well.
Both of these guys on Twitter? oooof
I don't care which way you lean, leave it at home. I just want to hear the motocross stuff.
This is the way. I never do anything for anyone expecting something in return. I do it because I decided I wanted to help. The end.
If I was Ken. I would thank this dude if I got a podium or heat win tonight.
How many 450 MX championships does Ping have? Or 450 Supercross wins?
I'm not impressed
Pingree a middle of the pack racer. Over his career he averages 16th place....
Ping scored 9pts in the 250/450 SX class.
Ken is over the 2100pts mark.
Spot on.
It's the cancel culture mentality. Don't agree with someones views, they get burned at the stake.
I recall very little "P" content in his shows/etc. People offended to the point of hatred...pretty pathetic.
Sadly, this is the world we live in now.
“Ping is lame for talking trash about someone on the internet” as you all (anonymously) talk trash about Ping on the internet.
It’s called accountability not cancel culture. It’s pretty simple, if you do or say stupid shit then you can and will get called out for it. You can choose to learn from it or repeat the same mistakes and confirm what people have said about you.
Mxb2, check your private messages please
"stupid shit" according to who? Nevermind....I already know the answer.
I'm not going to engage in forbidden topics here.
Influencers, sheesh. Maybe MTV could revive its Celebrity Death match bit for the moto community.
Pit Row
Watch the video that this thread is about.
You nailed it. I am a fan of both guys professionally. Politics do not belong on a moto podcast and that is Pings problem. That aside, his moto knowledge and his insight is phenomenal. Spoken with David a couple of times and he is a legit good who has helped many guys who have needed l. As for Kenny, he should have thanked Ping and I truly believe someone at Kenny’s level shouldn’t have a problem finding a bike and if he couldn’t the 6k will not break the bank. Aftermarket parts will be given no problem. But, all In all, none of this is a large deal and Ping could easily have reached out to Kenny and spoken his mind like a man and not on social media.
If this is true, it tells you everything thing you need to know about the hypocrite drama queen that Ping really is.
Gotta be more to the story aside from missing out on a handshake... I'm so glad social media wasnt around when I was kid, hate to think my dad launched a rant bc someone didnt shake his hand and it be all over the internet.
I said in a thread many weeks ago that it’s embarrassing how much a like on Instagram means from these riders to these media guys lol.
Is it?
Could have fooled me.
We all know what this is about if you're honest with yourself.
I will say, I would not have gone on social media over this (lol, I'm not even on soical media). Someone burns me like that, you're just done in my book.
Everyone is free to speak their opinions. Ping can say whatever he wants but everyone else is also free to react to what he says, especially when it’s said in a public space. Nobody is trying to cancel or deplatform him.
I’m pretty sure 95% of the moto community leans right so that’s not the case. I posted it cause I thought it was funny he tried to compare his career to Ken’s. Granted the majority of us would do anything to have the skill and success Ping has had but to allude to him being on the same level as Ken is crazy…and then to find out Ping has used others products with no social mention just shows how much a hypocrite he is
If that was the case...pretty much every Vital member here would be continuously called out for the rest of our lives.
“The so called ‘tolerant vital mx’ wants to deplatform ANYONE who opposes their extremist agenda!”
From outside the US, this lefty/righty division shit confuses the fuck out of me.
Anyway, if Ping can't thank a dude who handed over parts for his build, yet gets emotional about not being thanked himself, it's time to pipe down and look in the mirror.
The guy comes across like a tool a lot of the time nowadays.
Dude it sucks so bad. The news cycle and political influencers on social media have so many people whipped into an absolute frenzy constantly. They try to politicize EVERYTHING here.
