This "season" or both?
Pretty sure there weren't any bonuses from the manufacturers in WSX, maybe gear and goggles and if his start money from WSX was paid per race the amount was a lot less than he planned for...just like all the riders who expected more races....nobody got paid what they thought....
Whatever he made, it wasn't enough to tarnish his image "racing" this travesty of a series.

I don't understand why people are just dying for the WSX series to fail? I can understand apathy, but the genuine loathing is just weird.
Kenny has a reputation that going for a paycheck will never tarnish. The number one reason riders quit racing is because they're not making enough money for the risk involved. Kenny knows plenty about the "risk involved".
It would be a LOT different if they actually put on a better organization of racing. But its a complete joke, from the track designs, the astronomical purse that WSX can't afford, the tuff blocks that are made of empty cardboard boxes...
Yeah because one of the best Euro supercross riders wanting to ride supercross in front of fans that have probably never saw him race before totally tarnishes his legacy

Ok Karen.
Yeah definitely would have been better to chicken out of racing desnations and instead going to Cancun for weeks before coming back to practice behind closed doors
Fixed that for you: " Yeah because one of the best Euro supercross riders wanting to ride ARENAcross in front of fans that have probably never saw him SANDBAGGING before totally tarnishes his legacy".
The series is beneath Ken.
You think less of Kenny for racing WSX?
Maybe he should have raced a local hare scramble instead .
I'm gonna guess more than all the other riders combined.
A bit of competition between promoters brought 3 nice off season races so far, each with 3 main and with quite a few great calibers, and 3 more great races in the US also with multiple mains and a great point format. We also got to see riders that would have more difficulties to land semi factory rides, and got to see some redemption from some like Oldenburg and Nichols. So whatever Kenny made, it is a good move for any of us and now I am just bored as f... as there is nothing until A1. And I can't wait as the season will be epic.
You remember there's still a life and a whole world even without MX/SX races, don't you?
Pit Row
Cardboard Tuff Block isn't as bad as you think, and you should probably talk to riders about it. You can go offl-ine in a rhythm section, land on these tuff block and ride away. Try that with "conventional tuff blocks" . Yes, the cardboard doesn't provide any protection in the event of a crash but how often do you see a rider actually crash with their bodies on tuff blocks ? Yeah, not that often. That beeing said, Adam Bailey said he was looking for new options for 2024.
A.Bailey: "I think most people know that the cost to airfreight foam tough blocks around the world would be beyond insane ($500k plus per event), I’d love suggestions and even better, links, to any suggestions for suitable collapsible signage options?! GO! "
Honestly, who cares? I watched the Australia round, it was fun to me. But if it wasn't, I would've turned the channel. Why do so many have such a snit about this. Why hope for any new business to fail?
Yea the tuff block situation was one of the things they got right. Theres no liner on them so theres nothing to rip off and get caught in a wheel/rotor. Riders can land on them and they just fold flat vs a normal tuff block which causes a rider to crash. If you bump normal tough blocks they can bounce into the race lane and then riders hit them and crash, with the cardboard ones they can just ride right through it. Also on both sides of the whoops they used inflatable air bags the whole length of the whoops. This ended up saving hunter from serious injury when he endo’d his bike and landed on his head on the bag instead of the concrete. I actually applaud wsx for trying something different because the old tough blocks have had so many problems over the years and dont actually help anyone and do more harm than good. Theyre really just being used for advertising so since thats the case they shouldnt have liners that rip off or so much mass to them.
Hunter crashed in the whoops at Paris, not WSX.

What ever he was paid, I am thankful they paid it so he could race in Australia. Great to have the opportunity to see him race.
Same here with the UK last year, I rip on WSXs many shortcomings but moving to the off season and getting new partners I hope they sort it out... seeing Tomac, Roczen, etc in my home country when a trip to the US isn't on the cards was awesome.
I think it is great you got the chance. If this series does anything it encourages people's enthusiasm for the sport in areas where they otherwise wouldn't have that chance. How is that bad? Some people on here act like the WSX promoters owe them money.
He was very well protected from the Melbourne track, since he wasn't there.
I would be ashamed to wear a flocked World SX champion jersey after a 3 races series. He should learn some stuff from the lawrences not only about riding.
Kenny is playing the game right. He's making money racing his dirt bike. A lot of money. AND he seems to be having fun.
I'm totally shooting in the dark here, but I have to think that 2023 must have been one of Roczen's most lucrative to date.
He kept most of his personal sponsors when he switched to HEP, which comes with Progressive and Suzuki salary/support/bonuses. He had a successful first year on the new team with one win in SX, then add in SMX, Paris SX and WSX (which I would venture to guess he was paid handsomely for simply showing up, not to mention his 3-race championship crown... maybe $300k-$500k all told...?).
Sure he probably made more per year during his 450 early days, but his move to yellow bikes has turned out to be much more of a positive move for him than it seemed like it might be a year ago.
Because they are f'wits
