That's awesome. Can't wait to see the kid on the factory foo fiddy.. He's already running the top guys from the 450's pace on the 250 so it should be interesting. At San Fran he ran a 52.80 in the main and the only 450 to beat that time was RV with a 52.5 .. i don't think any other 450's even cracked 53 seconds that night. I know the 250 and 450 are two totally different animals but I'm sure he'll be at least close to his 250 pace on the 450.

This season gets more interesting every day. Can't wait.

Would one of those select events be St Louis by chance?

Sorry...I don't see that as a great move..... Crashitis on the 250F..what's gonna happen. on the 450's... could be worse. Needs to learn to control himself a bit before trying the beast.. IMO.

Quit hating and be happy for the kid. He works hard for everything hes ever done. Give the kid some credit.

I'm not being a dick, but I really hope he stays up...

He's been hitting the deck a fair bit the last few years...

Hope he does well!!!!

Very interesting. It should be fun to see where he ends up. I think he will do well.

Hating? funny...you kids have a strange understanding of the word.

I've liked Trey since LL's and still love the kid... but .. Sorry.. don't see this as a great move as everyone else may see it as. Sure..hope he goes out and does well...I suppose the experience is worth it if nothing else. Now watch.. he gonna go out and podium 1st time out.

Good news, I just hope he can harness his enthusiasm and stay upright, dont want to see him get injured before the Outdoors, he is a solid chance there.

Good idea i guess to just do a couple and get a bit of an idea of what he is in for next year when he moves up.

Good luck Trey.

Good for Trey to get some experience and take advantage of an opportunity. I predict he'll do really well. Remember 2 years ago, Trey jumped into the pro ranks with no expectations and won, and won, and won again... Oh, and won the title against a really strong Villopoto.

Since then it seems to me sitting on the sidelines with my popcorn that Trey has just been trying really, really hard and easily would get frustrated not being where he proved he belongs.

Now, Trey jumps into the 450s with no expectations. He'll give it 200%, but not 250% and try too hard. He'll probably rip some nasty good starts, I don't know, it's just a guess and I bet he does really, really well. I won't call a win, maybe a podium, but I'm betting atleast a top 5.

I've seen it so many times before, riders without expectations and pressure excel. Josh Grant at A1 last year (he was still in a podium spot when 7 and 22 went out), Dungey when he jumped onto a 450 a couple of years ago, Tommy Hahn when he did a couple of 450 races a couple of years ago, and don't leave out Josh Hill when he first jumped up to the 450.

I almost agree, a 450 is a totally different animal.Perhaps he has been riding one on the side anyway... Good Luck!

I'm sure it's going to be entertaining, but I'm a little worried about the kid.

Trey is struggling to control a serious MX2 (you sissies call them "Lites") bike. Let's hope he respects the raging-bull 450 and keeps his flesh off the floor.

You go, Trey!!...just color within the lines, dude.

Some people smooth out on the bigger bikes. I'm sure it will be tuned down a bit for Trey.
