He was on a Motoconcepts Yamaha 450

Btw, Austin Politelli has mad skills on a bike, he throws a 450 around like its a 85 and hes barely 16.

Wow, what a weird mixture of riders!

Where was Wilson?

Also, what do you mean "was riding well all day?" Thought it was lose once and you're out?

Nick Schmidt is all flash, yeah he hauls the mail but was nowwhere near the level of the top pros. He put in a really good effort though!

Dean Wilson didn't race. And I mean "was riding well all day" as in practice and qualifying. In qualifying Mitch Alcorn was right behind Kyle Cunningham for 6-7 laps (and trust me, Kyle was trying)

Mr. Davis,

Glad to see that you are such an Alcorn fan -- me, Cunningham all the way! I don't know Mitch Alcorn, but I do know Kyle. I bet what you don't know when you are talking about, "and believe me he was trying"...this is Kyle's first time on a race track on a bike since the Xgames where he left "broken". Just wanted to give you an FYI on this because it kind of sounded to me like you were "bashing" a bit. Thanks for listening -- momma "C"

I DO know you, Mr. Davis. I remember this day! Hope things are going well for you. Thank you for the kind words regarding his talent. Saturday was a "crap shoot" for Kyle. He was just supposed to go and see if he could get some range of motion in the wrist and put in some good laps. No pressure...then...well, he DID walk away unhurt. It's all good...he will get back up to speed in no time. Kyle had a good time and said that Kurt was going fast. Great day, just need some better luck for my boy! You take care and be safe out there riding.

He will get back up to speed in no time? I thought he was up to speed! He was flying! Ive always enjoyed watching Kyle ride, always exciting to watch and never gives up.

After his X-games get off, surgery, and sitting on his rear for months...we consider him a work in progress. He is working on it though and is determined to have a great year! Fingers crossed. Come by and see us next time we are in the same place. It would be great to talk with you again!

Kyle is a funny little guy.....well that's how I remember him. 5 or 6 years ago I had to taxi him and Bradley Graham all around Vegas during Supercross weekend. We were all staying at that pirate house that Ogio would get out by the lake and by Sunday those two turds had me pulling my hair out.....it was pretty funny though.

Ha! Ha! I remember his time at the "pirate house". He had a blast. Remember him coming home and telling me people were falling over the the place...don't remind him about your taxi skills, he is in California without a car right now ;o)
