Ryan asked me to come out today and shoot him testing at the Kawi track. They were changing parts all day.

Very awsome vid.! That 450 sounds as mean as it ever has. And it seems every year he's on it he gets more and more comfortable.

Cool, but such a tiny track. Clearly the real settings are done on a much larger venue.

But the whoops part is still awesome!

Thank you Mr Cudby. By the way, did Ryan happen to mention what time his Qantas flight down under was?

RV looks good for October and looks like he dropped a bunch of weight even compare to when he won 5 SXs in a row in 2010...

Maybe somewhere in all the Reed stuff, I heard it was "official" that he was not coming down.

Getting a bit older will do that to ya...

I hope he's ready to kick ass. I want to see the dude that I personally witnessed assassinate the entire field at the MXdN at Budd's Creek.

Don't think I'll ever forget it. I hope that's who's coming back.

Yes, he looks ready and he has something to finish this year - the last two rounds of the Australasian Supercross Championship. Until I see something to the contrary (something official, that is) I am expecting to see Ryan compete in Sydney (Parramatta) and Brisbane.

had to bring it up again.... okay i'll bite. Smile

he would wait 2.8 minutes, pass and gap 10 seconds over the next 14 minutes.

Then RD would pass KW and start making about a second a lap on him, at which time he would up the pace and well, we know how that one usually plays out.

Not to be too harsh but don't they always look ready this time of year. And I want him to be ready too by the way.

Not trying to be a dick, but why does it take that much testing to figure out a bike that hasn't really changed from last season?

good eye and great point- (on a side note congrats on the new gig and welcome back to the states really enjoyed your interview I hope those guys use all that you have to offer!)

I was thinking the same thingon weight andn fitness- hope the leg is 100% and I hope he does some races before A1..hes one of those guys that may not be fastest at or in practice but you get him racing and he picks it up more and more until he's just an animal...like watching seabiscuit or something-

and by the way I saw him in 07 MXDN and that season opener at GH he had the same fire on that 450- I doubt he's lost the ability to get back there but we will see-
