Keep a positive attitude, try to find something that he's passionate about. Always believe that things will get better, and as far as being picked on that's a pussy move. Send them my way.

I remember the club with Dave Davidson and Mike Dice and some other people. I was really young. I had more fun I think probably in those days because I was not a very good rider, and didn't care if I was and just had a blast riding motorcycles.

Honda was actually OK with it in the beginning, and it was probably one of the best things to happen to the sport to bring in an outside sponsor. But they had kind of just started this new thing called Ride Red, and it really didn't go so well with that they had a decision to make at the end...

No, I didn't think I would ever be in the position I am now. I am very lucky, and have worked really hard to be here and I would say the biggest challenge was when we were young to get the manufacturers to try our products.

Probably in the US I've got to work with almost everybody that I wanted to. Kevin Windham was one that I wished I could've worked with, and maybe Chad Reed when he first came to the US should I got him.

I think, mate, maybe Nathan Ramsey. He proved that my way wasn't always the best way. I backed off, he won, and we're friends still today.

The Fox thing came about by Beeker and Pete Fox talking to me at Loretta's, and it's a dream come true for for our riders for sure.

1993 KX 125 wasn't the best bike in the world by any means, and I think one of our best bikes is this year's 2016 250 F. It has awesome good power, it's lightweight and handling is been fantastic.

They stay with Kawasaki over the years because they have been good to us. There's really not a great reason to leave and it shows loyalty. The next guy coming up to our program that I think is going to be a huge success is going to be Austin Forkner.
