I see his name on the pre-entry list for the 250 class. I know he rode very well at the end of the 450 nats...anybody seen him ride the lites bike on an sx track lately?

Is he a darkhorse or an outright threat to podium?

Kyle is like Reardon, Hahn and Hansen. The 450 just suits them better if you ask me.

Eastern bound but has been frikkin haulin at the Yamaha test track, ask Izzi, Hahn or any of the boys and they'll tell you. Jumping doubles from the inside when nobody else even on 450s are doing them. Gotta wait for Indy but he'll be ready

I've been watching the '09 nationals again from start to finish and towards the end he just comes out of nowhere and starts posting top finishes. I'm guessing he's quite a young guy? If the reason he hasn't won anything major to date is because he doesn't suit the smaller bike that must be seriously frustrating...

I wish the young man all the best wishes but if what you posted is true then he needs to back it down a bit or he will be on the sidelines watching the races instead of participating in them.

He had some real start troubles on the 250 in the few races he ran, mostly because he was self funded and it's really hard to get a private 250F competitive. His first pro race at Texas he came from off the ground and dead last in turn 1 into the top 15, I think he ended up 12th? He has won many amateur championships, unless you just don't pay any attention to amateur racing he hasn't really flown under the radar. Just had that breakout moto at Millville and steamrolled from there.

The kid is rock solid and all work ethic for sure, watching him pound out motos at Underground MX makes me sore from the lawn chair. While he never dominated as an amateur I'd really pick him to make the next step over the other incoming rookies.

Nope, he is gonna stick with Lites East, and 450 Outdoor.... the plan is not to race the 450 indoors anymore....

Theres more talent from 5th on up in the Lites class than there is in the big bike class. Thats why Regal did what he did last summer.
