The Kitchen 2003 KX250 is badass - who owns that do we know? Looks like it's an in-house jobby with an '03 A kit shock and some modern forks/wheels off the '24 race bikes. Upcoming feature video?

That picture of Hunter mid berm is fantastic.  

If a plod like me was in that position, I'd be taking a trip over the bars and to the ER!
