Ken Roczen Shredding Outdoors | High Point Maybe?

6/12/2023 6:34pm

We need him to spice things up desperately in a season like this, I would put money on him being able to lead at least a lap at some point in the day. If you watch that video from last season with every pass for the lead there's an awful lot of Kenny...

That EZ podium money is ready and waiting. I think Jett is the only factory 450 rider that isn't coming back from some sort of ailment isn't he? Kenny could roll around top 5 and put gas in the boat the rest of the summer.

The 450 class this summer is very shallow compared to the 250 class.  Yes Roczen should doa couple rounds.  An what about Herlings?   Money to be made!

Suzuki has to realize that they are missing out on many opportunities to have their "out-dated" kick-start dinosaur of a bike on the podium in Pro Motocross...I can't believe they aren't writing a check to get him to do it.  And for selfish reasons, the 450 class is a snoozer this year and we need more talent.

I’m sure I can look it up somehow but How much was it? 

It's been speculated on here a few times as between $1mil - $3mil. No idea if that's even remotely close, but whatever it was, the amount of money compared to the amount of work made sense to Kenny.

Jett will squash him like a house fly.

That isn't the point though, is it?

Take gate drops, mix it up for fun, put a Zook on the podium, SMX points? Lots of reasons for anyone to race

This attitude that you failed unless you win is tired.  If the actual riders took this view point we’d have 1 person on the gate.

Thats cause you can't argue against fact. Even soggy admitted it in a round about way. 1 rider gate, everyone else is there hoping to inherit a win from a Jett crash. Pretty sure I saw riders clutching their lucky rabbits foot at thunder valley when the 30 second board came out.

So why even bother running the 450 class at all this summer? Just give Jett the title. He'll squash every dude on the gate like a house fly

Riders meeting prior to thunder Valley. If you look closely you can see the lock of Jetts hair they cut off for their voodoo doll. I feel bad for the chicken they're gonna sacrifice at high point.

It’s not that the Outdoors needs more talent (which it does) but Jett is just running off and leaving everyone.

It would be cool to have KR94 out there but he’s gonna get a wake up call. Jett’s been about 30+ secs ahead of everyone.

Does anyone have the video of Kenny jumping over a braking bump or something, directly into a rut and railing past Webb? I seem to remember it being a right hander, but could be off on that. I want to say it happened at high point a few years back?

 

One of the sickest things I've ever seen but I can't seem to find a clip of it. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?

If we're talking about the same pass, I'm pretty sure it was Unadilla. I can't remember the year, though (maybe 2020?). 

The one i think he is thinking of was at highpoint and he was passing Webb. 2019 season. In this video at 2:55.

Hopefully it’s true, good for Kenny!

That's actually the one I was thinking of too, but for some reason I had Unadilla on the brain. Epic pass no matter the track, though.

Kenny was on rails that moto and I remember watching that live and just having a wtf moment. Such a good rider when he is on.

Is there anyway Kenny could race and go out on his boat?  I feel like Emig and MC could have made that happen. Gas ain’t cheap on the water and podium bonuses are pretty good from what I hear.

I thought no money at all comes from Suzuki, its from team sponsors isnt it???
