LOL that song seems a little ironic for a guy wearing makeup.

marketing, appeal, wider audience etc etc etc.

I have no idea what "maybe its cool in Europe" means though - retarded comment there JTclan, go put your head in ice and think.

You talk like Europe is a country lol

You realise the UK is totally different to Germany in the same way the US is totally different to Germany.. what is cool in one country does not mean it is the same in another even if it is on the same continent - why try to group countries together in a stereotype?

Maybe they just did it for a laugh... I thought the video was pretty cool and something different... the make up stuff was a bit weird but it was just a bit of fun to make a cool unique video.

I don't know what that photo shoot was for, but it seemed like some kind of pop culture mag or website. Like a rolling stone or something of that nature. For a kid that races Moto to get that kind of exposure is huge. If that kid stays in Europe he will be a full blown celebrity especially in Germany within a few years.

If it's the video I saw, it was released by KTM itself on their youtube site.

As to the makeup, maybe it's inspired by this?

I thought it was an awesome video, you don't see any of the other riders doing anything like that anymore.

Everyone complaining about the make up, it's not what he turned up in, they even showed it being put on him, and i'm pretty sure that wasn't solely his decision.

Hmmm not really!
That was his only appearance in a main stream tv show. Besides that he had just some short clips on a couple of kids tv channels.

He is not really a celebrity here in Germany, there aren't a lot of people outside the "industry" that know who he is!
Maybe this will change in a few years with some titles won...

Come on guys...the tattoos and eye makeup were solely for the photo shoot. It was to give him a "Rockstar" appeal. Not sure what publication it was for...maybe MOTO. They seem to push the creative envelope as far as shoots go.

I like Roczen so far but with these promo vids...enough is enough. Bubba wasn't even as hyped up as Roczen. I remember Travis Preston said he didn't like how they were "kind of shoving it down your throat" in regards to the Bubba hype. KTM and Roczen are doing it waaay worse.

What other promo vids are you speaking of other than one's of him just riding?

...the only hype he's getting is from people in the industry and fans who have seen him ride and/or seen how he presents himself in interviews. Nothing wrong about that, IMO.

I think Roczen is trying too hard to be cool. Now im not surprised he wore that pathetic stick on Mohawk. Is he gonna show up with a grill next?

He's having fun, kids tend to do that. Why does it bother you so much?

Yeah you guys are right. I want to see Roczen with a Michael Jackson glove, Flava Flav clock, binky in his mouth, tribal tattoo, LBZ's, and he already rides a KTM...

I think he`s a really cool guy! Some (or most) of the other pro guys are just so "sponsor friendly" and boring and Ken brings us the smiles... i just hope all the hype and fame don`t gets over his head!

You sound bitter. He's just a kid, having fun and getting told what to do. He's just going with the flow.

If you were 16 and KTM said hey, come do a stupid photo shoot, we're gonna dress you up as a punk for a laugh, would you honestly refuse?

Is a lighthearted video.
