Hope he’s not sidelined by injury. Wouldn’t be surprised if he rests and gets ready for outdoors. Or comes back to salvage third place. I hope we see him back last two rounds at least, could be his last year for the local rounds. 

Dood its over.... why you wanna see him back?? So he can run around in 6-15th this summer?? He's given enough to this sport... he's more than earned retirement... he's an all time moto legend.. he's got nothing more to prove.. theres fence to tend to... kids to enjoy... glad we got to see him race as long as we did... anything past this will only diminish what he's done...

I don't think this will happen but with ET3 not being much of a social media guy, imagine he just rides off into the sunset like JS7 did leaving everyone wondering for years where he's at. Doubt it will happen, but you never know!

It IS steel.  When you say chromoly you are referring to high strength steel with chromium and molybdenum alloying elements.

You are right that it is an alloy, as is almost all aluminium.

Agree he’s given a lot, but I’ve learned to never count him out especially after winning several rounds this year. When cairolli came over and raced, I was excited just to watch him race.  Guess that’s the way I see it.

There is no “Cali”. There is NorCal, SoCal, and LoCal.  The OC folks will get it….and the SD county folks may not like it. 😂

I thought he would make to 60 by the end of the season… Just highlights how awesome McGrath’s record 72 is.

Tomac with 4 wins on the season. Kroc coming on late with 4 wins and many fans think he can win his first SX championship . . . 3 or 4 years ago peole were making threads just like this saying Kenny is done and needs to retire.

OMG. What a fucking retarded argument I am getting myself into. SURE DUDE. YOU ARE RIGHT! I AM STUPID, YOU ARE SMART, YOU ARE GOOD LOOKING, I AM NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE...

Everything is an alloy and all dirtbike frames are the same. Happy? Its wrong, but if it makes you content we can stick with that.

So to recap, steel =/= iron, but chromoly = steel. got it. should throw all my school, fabrication and industry experience in the garbage I guess.

Would be nice to have an up to speed Eli and Chase. As it sits now Hunter and Ken should be able to go 1-2 the rest of the way

I have no arguments here but remember when cycle mags did shootouts involving the Yamaha tiddlers (74,75 era) published data and spec sheets always showed the YZ having Chromoly and the MX having "mild steel". They mentioned it as part of reason for higher cost of YZ vs MX back then. My 2 cents.

colloquialisms on colloquialisms

iron = iron

steel = iron + carbon

chromoly = iron + carbon + chromium + molybdenum

btw, have you seen what they're doing with powdered metals now in the knife world? pretty insane.

I wondered if he was referring to coating some metal (knife blade perhaps) with an applied powdered paint process- hence the? in my reply. There's a local gunsmith here doing Cera and have seen multiple motorcycle hubs with the coating.

Apparently you cannot talk colloquially, because people here would just assume your stupid or something. 

So actually in reality steel =/= steel in most cases, chromoly =/= chromoly in most cases, but I guess we can agree that iron = iron .... unless you are talking colloquially... Then Iron may = iron or it could mean all of the above and so could steel.

Let's just make everything as complicated as possible, add unnecessary detail, and refuse to read between the lines in the context we are in!

Nah it's a production process of the metal alloy itself that makes for finer, more consistent grains in a forging. Hitachi, crucible (bought by erasteel), maybe sandvik.

Unless he's 100%, I honestly hope he just rests and heals up rather than come back for Denver or Salt Lake rounds. I want to see him healthy and ready to rip on that KTM outdoors!

I think in 2024 he came back for some Supercross and injured himself again. So he was out for motocross.  At this point he should rest and be 100% at Pala motocross round 1.   Someone’s not going to make that gate at Pala. Deegan is going to be coming in ready and rested.  Who knows with Chase or Prado.  Hunter will have Supercross championship hangover if he wins OR loses, and Ken Roczen doesn’t need to worry about this since he doesn’t race motocross anymore.  Jett Lawrence is just about to start riding for first time all year who knows if his recovery is going well.  Justin Cooper might come out on fire, he beat Tomac straight up in moto 1 at Pala.  AP is a question mark.  Webb and Anderson probably sit out
