Ive been waiting to see a young dude with poise, class and solid form..........who doesn't crash so freaking hard like everyone else trying to go so fast. I mean some of the crashes that ive seen all the other guys running that pace take. Except Levi and i he looks like the next guy to me right now. That could all change in a night and Ju Ju looks good but Levi looks like a badass 450 rider in the making. 

Kind of like Chase and Jett and everyone else in the 450 class basically. It looks like the Chef is emerging as the next guy. I realize he hasn't even won the 250 class crown yet. Im just saying he looks very very solid. Enjoy the race!!

Always loved his style on the Yamahas. He still doesn’t quite look 100% comfortable on the kawi yet to me. When that happens he will be a serious threat

He is fun to watch. I actually think he looks way better on the Kawi so far!

Agree! Tonight especially it looks like he’s on a bmx bike the way he’s flicking it around and downsiding everything really smooth.

When he’s outdoors with that PC rocket consistently getting top 5 starts, it’s gonna be tough for the rest of the field. 
 

This is Kitchen’s year.

He’s been the most consistent and has been making upward progress every race. RJ and Jordon are doing RJ and Jordon things.

Glad he found a team to be the number one guy. I also think he still looks a tad uncomfortable on the bike, but I think he is also faster still than on his Yamaha, so better watch out end of season.

Good rider fun to watch, I don't think anyone in the 250 West deserves the real deal label (at the moment)

If he keeps it rolling I can see him next year on the Kawi 450 alongside Anderson

Ever since he changed his name to Eli, he's looked a lot better on the bike.

he has a cool name, a cool look, and a cool style - it’s as if he was pulled right out of 1987. most SoCal style 80’s like rider since the 80’s just in terms of his vibe.

I’m a huge pro circuit kawi fanboy but I just can’t get past the thing about him that we’re not allowed to talk about.

He rode great. Something about the green goggles made his gear stand out.

His execution and confidence seems to have really improved this year. I like seeing this new generation of riders coming up. It looks like we’ll have some exciting racing with such a deep field of talent.

No. He’ll be on a 450 in 2026 at the absolute earliest, but even that would basically require him to win the sx title this year and point out in sx.

He looked cramped on the Yamaha, his body positioning and riding in general looks way better on the Kawi. I think his more laid back approach works better at PC than Star, where they seem to be racing each other all week. Always been a fan, great to see him thriving.

PC was a really good move for him, could see him at factory Kawi in a couple years

Levi has that creative vibe where he might start wheel tapping/manualing stuff on a 450. Will be cool to watch

Before the track took its beating, he was one of the few riders hitting that big triple in San Diego. The other guys hitting it were on 450s.

I’d say he’s pretty comfortable on it too.

Levi is one of the nicest and most down to earth guys out there. My kid found Levi's cell phone at Loretta's a few years ago after he had dropped it. Fortunately we knew where he was parked and brought it to him. Levi was awesome to my kid and genuinely thankful for him to return the phone. 

We saw Levi the following year back at Loretta's, this is after he went pro. Levi immediately recognized my kid and told Justin Cooper the story about him finding the phone. 

Seems like he's found a fitting home at Pro Circuit and he's looking great on that bike. Wish him nothing but the best and I believe he will be the one that brings PC their first championship in several years.

Why can’t you talk about it? The one dude on twitter mentions it on a weekly basis it seems

1 of the media guys said they don't want him to win the sx title this year. Coz he isn't ready for the 450s in 2 years time.

It's a bit of a weird take but I kinda agree. If majority of the top guys stick around for a few years I feel like he will have a hard time dealing with the men. But at the same time Couple hard years could put him at a massive advantage once the old guys move on and the younger guys take over.

Talk about it?

It is all over his insta and for all we know he has done nothing illegal.

Age of consent is 16 in Georgia. And in Florida 16 and 17 year olds is legal with someone under 24.

Up till the girl turned 16 we know they were friends but don't know there sexual situation.

And I know this isn't a legitimate excuse. But look at them 2gether they could be in a mall or anywhere and no1 would think anything of it coz she looks as old as him.
