I have been posting since the Moto Drive days and I am shocked that the idocy grows on this forum. Why would folks doubt Roczen's, Craig's and AC92's IG on KROC getting cleared? Why would they lie?

That was a small fraction of it. Fucking people talking while they are in the dark.

I was doubtful he would be back this fast not gonna lie. I've dealt with my share of elbow/arm/wrist injuries and my shits a mess. Good to see him ripping already!

Wait, did Roczen win a race or something? We never thought he wouldn't ride again...

I dont think anyone had any malicious doubt, more just doubt from a medical perspective. Im a huge fan of KRoc and I had my doubts, that was an INSANE injury.

That being said, thats AWESOME he is riding again!!!

Many people said he would never ride at a competitive level again. Top10 in MX is a competitive level for me.
And I'm sure that wouldn't be bothered to try and get ready as soon as possible if his arm really was that bad that it eliminates any chances of him returning to where he was.
Kenny and the people around him know the chances very well. I would even say better than any vital member Pinch

Wrong, many said on Vital (and funnily enough they havent the balls to post in this thread to admit they were wrong) that he would never ride again, thats not racing ...riding...he has proven those wrong already, and make no mistake he will race again.

I could easily name and shame but whats the point...their silence is enough Smile

Hopefully he doesn't hit the ground on his arm too quickly.

Be careful Kenny

Where there really people who said he would never be able to ride, in any way, at all? I mean, a person could simply "ride", even without an arm.

I seen people say he would not be racing until MX 2018, but never see people post he would never be competitive again.

I was right, you were wrong..I'm better than you...kinder garden stuff..
Many were worried, after seeing the extent of his injury, that it would be a hard battle to return to his previous level.
In many instances of people with the same injury and complications, have lost their arm.
Kenny's had the best doctors, and a great attitude to pull him through this, and hopefully now, he's past the worst of it.
I think there's still a way to go before he's competitive on the bike. I also believe that arm will never be quite the same, but at his age and the skilled doctors that surround him, it won't affect him so much until he gets a bit older.
He's coming back to race, there's no doubt about it, and he's hungry and determined. He will win races and perhaps championships. That's good for the sport.

Ricky Johnson had a bad wrist injury in his prime, not identical scenarios but a huge arm injury nonetheless. Ricky Johnson came back. I actually think he won his first race back. I know he won multiple races after his return. But RJ was never the same as he was before, he never dominated again. He retired when he decided he wasn't happy to be battling for 10th place.

I wish the best for Roczen, I like him a lot. I know he will race again but the odds of him being like before are low. That's just reality. I hope he proves me wrong.

The wheelies I believe but the rest looks like its maybe from the Honda ride day introducing the 17 CRF450R to the press.

He won't be the same IMHO. Although If anybody can eclipse the level he was at before he got injured it would be Roczen I'd say.
