These are intimidating doors to pass through. Octopi Media

The butt patch is a nice touch. Octopi Media

With the defending champion being out of the class (Hunter Lawrence), things were okay'd for Deegan to run the number one for the finally. We'll see this number all next summer on Deegan's machine...along with the upcoming SMX series. Octopi Media

MXoN? We hope so. Octopi Media

Ken Roczen's Suzuki RM-Z250 was a collaboration between BarX and HEP. It was a BarX bike with Kenny's bars and a PC pipe. Octopi Media

The suspension for the BarX is done by REP, which is owned Mark Johnson. Who last worked with Kenny at Red Bull KTM when he won a title in 2014 on a 450 in Pro Motocross. Octopi Media

Raise your hand if you'd like to see Roczen race a 250 at another race next year. Octopi Media

The Suzuki RM-Z250 is better than many think, but a 10 out of 10 rider like Kenny can pill miracles as well. Octopi Media
pitbitsironman-42.jpg?VersionId=lUob1sl4tgjElr6sx3u6zSH
5,095 days since Kenny last raced a 250... Octopi Media
