Last year he was supposedly in a spot to qualify for the night event before his mishap, making the main I doubt though.

I saw the video of him riding he needs to greatly pick up his cornering speed before he has a chance of maybe even making night show, but I guess it was just practcice.

I think if he can get a decent start he has a shot at qualifying.

He has a long shot of making the night show. I just hope his bike holds up better then Cowboy Kenny's did when he tried to qualify a few years back. I think Travis was his wrench though. Best of luck Nate.

What happened to Kenny's bike? What race was that and how did he do? Just curious.

Kenny made it (I believe) into a heat race and his bike basically broke in half. I think he cased a jump and the bike basically came apart. It was several years ago though so someone might remember better.

Well dont put Nate down, he is a freestyle rider but he is a professional of the sport as a whole, give him a chance. Id like to see him mix it up

With Ryno training him I think he will be ready and don't doubt he won't be ready. Im sure Ryno would let him know if he is ready or not. I do think he will make the night show and the main if he gets a good start which would put him in a very small club of fmx riders to ride in a SX main.

He missed a shift before the triple or didn't shift and was in the wrong gear which caused him to short it.

I'm sure Nate will do just fine. Who knows if he'll make the main gate or not , but i'm sure he'll try like hell. Kenny Bartram on the other hand , is an extremely talented racer and has been for a long time. If he was to actually train for racing again , he would get on the main gate no problem. He is such a friggin' goof ball though......little crazy to boot.

Pastranas reason for not making it werent due to lack of experience or skill though. He didnt make it due to a bad start and... well who really knows. You cant really compare the two though. I mean TP IS a supercross and outdoor champ.

Yes IMHO I believe he has a decent shot a qualifying. I also think that he needs to pick up his corner speed and it looked like he could have a little more aggression everywhere, especially concerning the jumps. I'm saying all of this full well knowing that I could not even come close to doing any of that 10% as good as what he just did in that video. I'm sure though with Ryno being in his corner that aggression will not be an issue!

I used to fly over his compound in Glendale, AZ all the time. Didn't know it was his at the time though!

And his GLOVES WERE SICK!

I like Nate, but he's not making the main. Dont get me wrong the guy is bad ass on a bike. Just dont under estimate the quality of riders trying to make the mains..........
