Specifically mentioning motocross makes me not too worried about a full retirement from sx but we already know he's done with moto.... Hoping they're just building up hype for a 1 off race announcement

Done with MX. Will do SX and SMX only to defend. Then scale back down to WSX most likely after 2027.

No, team germany has already been announced weeks ago. No Kenny (also no Simon) for MXON.

Team USA, he is a US citizen.

dual citizenship. still german

Does that make him ineligible to race for USA?

That video was shot at Ironman. Is that a hint he will race this weekend?

I was not sure of the location until the covered bridge gave it away.

Video description:

Dear Motocross, you gave him everything. He's not done saying thank you. No gate, points, or cameras to stage an interview for. Just Ironman, wide open, and the champ doing whatever he felt like doing. Go figure what he felt like doing was the same thing he's felt like doing since he was a kid, and his true reason: 

FUN in true Kenny flair and raw talent. Kenny’s way isn’t what we as fans have been trained on the last decade, where it is pure commitment, sacrifice and the joy follows the results. For Kenny it’s finding the fun first. Results follow. Nobody believes it because it sounds too easy. It’s been far from easy, but it’s the truth. The fun isn't what you get for winning. The fun is the reason for it. ​See you all at SMX.

Attitude is Everything.​

DREAM ON.​

The fox IG post says see you all at SMX, not ironman, so I wouldn't get too excited...

I don't know. He was here in town around the end of June start of July, I think that is when this video was shot. My local dealer, Spykes KTM posted on their Instagram that they hooked Kens boy up with a SX-e5 while he was here. delivered it to em and all. I wouldn't count on him lining up on the gate but I could be wrong. The video description sure does hint at it though, or it could simply be a video shoot for FOX.

Kenny was right. Slow motion with a heavy song was so sick!

What if he did line up at Ironman this weekend and he got in the middle of the Jett/Hunter battle for the title? I wouldn't want any part of that. It would be different if he had raced the whole series.

That track is absolutely prime in this video, Kenny is carrying so much speed, and is smooth as butter.  This is a phenomenal video, and it really highlights how fast outdoors has gotten.
