Anyone else hope he landed a ride in the USA?
I'm really curious what he will do is he doesn't.
With the shut down of Blackfoot it leaves Klatt and Facciotti without rides.
I think the only 'Factory' team in Canada now is KTM.
I am curious on Dusty's plans as well.

EDIT* Just heard Leading Edge Kawi will be around next season.

Count me in! Hope he can get a ride down there full time. I would say he has the speed, maybe Troy Lee can find room for him full time on a 450.

I asked Matthes on Twitter and he mentioned that he thought there had been talks between Facciotti and Moto Concepts. Hopefully he gets something worked because he could be a consistent top 10 guy.

Fairly certain it would work out better than the LAST guy they tried to hire. As in show up and LIVE UP to his commitment. Jus' sayin. (This message NOT approved by WonderWarthog. Or whatever the fuck he calls himself now.)

I hope he lands on a ride in Europe ... I like a stacked field ... But guys like him deserves good rides but if you look at Reed, Alessi, Chisholm and others ...

Outdoors only maybe? fill in? teams Like SX skills and not saying hes not a good rider but has yet to prove them in sx, in the US. I'd like to see him contend a full series, especially outdoors.

I don't think he'll be back in Canada since their motocross scene seems to be going downhill and fast. I would guess that he'll be here in the US this upcoming season, but the GPs would be a good choice also both great series with great riders

Colton walked into Supercross in the lites back in 06' If I remember he had some great heat race rides and was top 15.
As a rider Colten is much much faster then he was then and skilled.

With Blackfoot out,hopefully that will be the nudge he needs to head to the states and stay there.I'd hate to see him get another ride here and stay to collect the Canadian title.

If Motoconcepts stays on Yamahas, Colton would be an awesome fit as he has ample seat time on the not always rider friendly Yamaha. He must have the bike somewhat dialed in to do so well in Canada.

I sure hope he finds something because he's wasting his time in Canada.

I wonder how much faster he can go? It doesn't seem as if anybody has pushed him in a few years, so I'm thinking he might find another gear once he's pushed a little by the competition.

Colt's a Red Bull rider, he just proved he can jump on a different brand and be fast outdoors.

indoors he woudn't be my first pick, but with the injury rate in SX I think we'll see him in some mains this winter for someone.
