For some though, a video of this nature (contest-wise) is about every aspect. The on screen action, the mix of riding and styles, the actual quality and construction of the shots, the color correction, the edit layout and even the music.

There was six people picked this year but Cody Webb got hurt at the last minute so they ended up with just five. Each entry is given 10k I believe to shoot their feature, color correct, edit, music etc...I think that’s the amount. There’s a judged vote ... more »

For me it’s: 1: Foster 2: Raha 3: Carmichael 4: McNeil 5: Durham Foster and Raha’s are completely on a different level in terms of range of skills show in the video in my opinion. The range of locations and stuff that Raha did was so awesome. The opening ... more »

It’s just a modular version of a traditional designed shock. Showa has made a few three piece body versions to play with the last few years and one must fit the CR250R. It’s not a BFRC.

I only saw one go bye bye and I asked them to remove it because it shared a little more then can be out there at the moment.

That was actually meant to state that he won’t be on a 450.

Why would he ride a 450 in Supercross?

“ml512” works.

I like to help people...

They moved Chad to Fox the year they moved Ken to Shift. Their vision was Chad had his legacy and they wanted to move him to the legacy brand and at the same time it opened up Shift, which had been focused almost solely on Chad, the opportunity to focus ... more »

They make them in house. The shocks are all assembled based off the spec and bike they're needed for. They're very modular in design so they can be customized for a ton of applications.

Ken’s long time mechanic before that quit the first year after they moved to RCH together so he could go back to KTM to be an engine guy. Better hours, more family time and way less travel. In Oscar’s case, as GuyB stated, less hours away from home and ... more »

Interesting view but I definitely disagree viewing it as a demotion. While Shift doesn’t have the long history of Fox, it has an edgier/cooler vibe most years and when they go big name it becomes a singular focus, which Ken really enjoyed when he went ... more »

Why is riding for Shift a demotion? And Kenny asked to be in Shift at that time, the brand image was based around him during that time. Kinda like when Reed went there.

You are missing something, that photo is from two years ago or so.

Hey my name got removed from the title of this thread

A rounded motor character will suit a larger range of riders and styles overall so they will typically do better in a Shootout. And the Yamaha isn’t exactly a top end screamer but came away with the win for the three published so far.

Langston was 8 last and Tedesco was 9.
