Roczen 2026 SX champ

So incredibly happy Kenny got the title. A career story arc worthy of a Hollywood script.

I was stressed out the entire week. Cant believe it really happened! Def one of the best stories in sx history. Hunter was pure class too and will have more chances. Doesnt this show that two good guys can fight for a championship and its still just as good or even better? You dont always need one good guy vs one bad guy or to be a fake heel. You dont need to stir up social media drama and all the bullcrap. A couple stand up guys can also fight for a title and it still be awesome.. Idk maybe I’m getting old. Anyways awesome year! 

Everyone had tears that has been in the sport long enough to know what Ken has gone through. A true testament to never give up. 

Seeing him stop and the camera just gonna panning around really put it all in perspective for that moment. 

Congrats Kenny and also congrats to Hunter. I know it wasn’t what we wanted but he will have his day. 

Almost like a Rocky movie. 
And to think that Roczens dad coached the Lawrence brothers back in Germany while Ken was in the states racing.  
And all the other riders that were/are capable of winning.  

I have been to 50+ races in my life. I lived in Vegas for 10 years and watched many titles won and lost at the finale. Now I’ve been going to salt lake for the last 5 years.. let me tell you. You guys thought the crowd following Tomac around in Denver was loud? It was nothing compared to what the crowd was doing for Ken. Especially after Hunter went down. Every lap. Every corner. From start to finish. He had the entire stadium chanting his name as he sat there on that jump after all the riders rode by and congratulated him and I’m not exaggerating. What an awesome moment to be present for 

I’m so stoked for Kenny, Fox and Suzuki almost a decade with not titles and tonight they get it done what a legendary night for him and two iconic brands and for this sport in general. 

Admittedly Eli is my guy, but man, so stoked for Kenny. Honestly long long overdue, but what a guy. Definitely a legendary moment in the sport.

Das boot! Das boot! Das boot!

Never doubt yourself,thanks for the lesson,congrats champion!

That was glorious! Well done Kenny!

The first 10 minutes of that main was one of the most intense pressure cookers I've ever seen, Kenny didn't buckle, he earned that championship all the way to the end.

The sportsmanship by Hunter was just as commendable. 

What a season. 

Some times we witness an experience were a person we don’t even know can be very inspiring. To witness Roczens journey to this can only influence our emotions in a positive manner. KR arrived in his chosen discipline with clear natural ability and work ethic that was going to take him to the very top either if he stayed in Europe or followed his dream to the US. 2017 changed all that and to witness what he has been through, the obstacles he has faced and all done with a very humbled and dignified demeanor makes last night very special. Well done to Ken Roczen, a great dirt bike rider and a even better human being.

Dammit Kenny, how the fuck is anyone going to top this, may as well quit watching sport now 😂

Man I'm so happy. Fan from the very beginning of his pro career and after 17 I wasn't sure we'd ever get to see this, but here we are. Justice is finally served! Unbelievable. Me and my gf were just bawling at the end lol 

I'm sure someone has probably already said this above me I haven't read all the comments, so I apologise if that's the case but I know OC Scottie would be looking down at this and smiling his ass off. 

Yes Kenny! Way to go dude and much deserved! 

i found the footage!

Happy for Ken, sad for Hunter. Great riders, both deserved to win the championship.

Congrats Roczen!!

Just finished watching (and crying). My heart rate hit 140 in the laps after hunter crashed. I have been a huge Kenny fan since his 85cc days. I have never been happier or more emotional watching a sporting event

After years of holding out hope for my man Kenny I've never yelled so loud at a screen. You da man 🤙🏻 

I thought his window of opportunity to win a super cross title had closed.  He proved everyone wrong. I too shed some tears over this.  Absolutely unbelievable comeback.  Congratulations!!!!

the whole mx world is a little bit happier today

Man, i will never forget this. The most emotional race i have witness. Congratulations Ken Roczen! At the same time i felt in my heart for Hunter too, i was cheering for Roczen but i have really start to like Hunter Lawrence. Go get them outdoors ! 

Congratulations Champ!! Well deserved!

I wish we could get a full outdoor season from Kenny. He’s riding so well right now.

Everyone who’s ever watched Kenny ride and seen the unbelievable speed he can unleash knew that he could be a champion.  So many of us have hoped it would happen, and every year you could see the spark was still in there.  Well, this year Kenny turned that spark into a fire!  

Congratulations to the Roczens and to all of the fans of moto. We all won last night! What a feeling!

What a morning the Roczen are having right now!

Perhaps the most compelling story in the history of our sport. A simple congrats seems so underwhelming considering the magnitude of this accomplishment. SX Champ 2026!!!

Congratz to KR94 !   What an inspiring story.  Hollywood should come knocking at the door. 
As an underdog all my life I can relate.  Truly amazing what hard work & dedication with never giving up can accomplish.  

I was just talking with my wife about this. The only problem with a Hollywood movie is that it is all very cliché on the surface. Old athlete past his prime? Coming back from a big crash that almost ended his career? All the ups and downs and mental/emotional adversity?

It sounds unrealistic. It's Cole Trickle and Rowdy Burns from Days of Thunder, in one man. Everyday people (who generally know nothing about this sport) would think most of it is made up.

Edit: A short Netflix Docu-series might work.

Was Ken Roczen his dad there? @ML512 @LewisPhillips 

I was throwing high fives and celebrating.
