I don't understand the thought process in having these
(Darian Sanayei Mitchell Harrison Mark Worth Cody Chisholm)
top amateur riders on Team Green and not moving any of them
up to Pro Circuit, isn't this the whole reason to sign these kids
to someday race for Team Kawasaki....?
I remember back in the day Team Green would bring all their riders
in their semi to the outdoor nationals.
I understand that all the riders are not going to make it to the next step
of their careers, but if any of these riders, Darian Sanayei sure deserves
a shot.
But next year.....
I know Pro Circuit is adding two riders for the 2016 Outdoor Nationals
from Team Green (Austin Forkner and Joey Crown) but their B riders...?
All four of those riders would be great pickups for the Canadian Kawi team,
if anything, just like Villopoto and Dean Wilson did before starting their pro
careers in the US.

I don't know as much about Crown except he's fast too...
These B riders don't need to run the Pro/Am's to get their outdoor card with their resume...

Negative, much?
Forkner got the ride.
He tested really, really well when he came out to Cali and held his own in fast company at Glen Helen.
VERY FAST COMPANY.
Mitch chose him.
Personally.
Your Ignorance.
Your Bliss.
Also, WhoTF are to point fingers and make accusations when you're clearly just a Butt-Hurt-Hater?!
Btw, sorry about your dick.
That might be my first ever signature line. With your permission, of course.
Its funny how Bobby397 screenshots the best case scenario for his arguement that Forkner didnt get smoked against the kids he's supposed to be competing with. How about the other super mini class that Mitchel went 1-2-1 to Forkner's 5-1-6? So yea he got smoked in that class that year.
Next, you have 3 top A riders under the Kawasaki Team Green that didn't get a test with PC for what would be a possible job in 2016. Someone mentioned that Darian got a test but that was for the current year set up, same as Mitchell. In what should've been a transition year for Worth, Sanayei, and Harrison they got overlooked by someone who only really had 1 competitor all year in Chase Sexton. I'm not faulting Forkner, just stating a fact. He took the easier route. Why race a half of a dozen guys when you only have to worry about 1!?!
It was widely known at LL that Kawasaki was worried they were going to lose an 4 year investment and a lot of money if the didn't do something BIG to keep him for the next year. Forkner had the ace up his sleeve when Sexton signed with Geico. He had beaten all year so why didn't he deserve the same type of ride in their minds???
I know it sucks for Worth and Sanayei. Both are really good kids and deserve to be on a team. This was completely out of their control.
I truly think PC missed the mark on these 3 kids.
I'm just beyond stoked for my guy though! I am super pumped that someone took notice of what he has to offer and he will have the resources to achieve the things I know he's capable of. And it just happens to be the best 250 team out there right now!

They have quite a bit invested into supporting a lot of these kids (not just this year but historically) for years as amateurs and a lot of them just get dumped when they go pro because Mitch's team is full. Seems like it'd be worth it to give them a shot for a year or 2 as pros. Hell, let them shop out gear deals etc. to help them make money to keep your expenses lower.
They could also bump them up for fill in rides on the "A" team if needed.
