Unfortunately some of these media outlets are like the mainstream media, just looking for a way to get likes or followers. Instead of Trump Derangement Syndrome, they have MX Sports derangement syndrome.

So Mitchell Harrison is running 10th on a non factory Kawi. Beating 30 other riders, many not on a green bike. Maybe the KX isn't so bad? Over 30 seconds behind the leader halfway thru the moto, wtf? Maybe it's as simple as, he just can't handle the pace of the top guys on our tracks. I question his fitness as well. The bike set up may not be perfect but he should be faster, no question.

I'm all for everyone being nice to everybody but sometimes the burning desire to prove someone wrong is the strongest motivator. I've worked for people like that, key word "worked" in the past tense, but it's made me better at my job for more laid back employers and taught me not to sweat the small stuff people complain about all around me.

I think I see the problem here 90% of people in this thread are in California. I live in NC and have family in Ohio and I've met more rednecks visiting Ohio than here in NC you go to any Ohio or NC off-road race and 80% of the dudes there are just like AP. I don't think he claims to be an actual cowboy but that's certainly more marketable than wearing a wife beater and camo hat and being the Supercross Redneck, I know tons of rednecks that yell yee-haw and talk about Dale Earnhardt.
