He looked good and there was actually some decent whoops and technical sections on that track.


The real supercross bitches of vitalmx will be here any moment though to tell you that was not a real sx track! Lol

I don't think he looked all that good. Thought his corner speed was lacking

I'm sure I read somewhere that he sucks at supercross, there's even a video that proves it. Yep, he sucks for sure!

I thought the Euro's hated SX and none of them cared about racing or riding it....

Saw it and heard the same! DV had a stop watch mind and he was on par with Musquin!

I'm with you though and prefer the armchair experts analysis of a sub minute video from back then!

Lets face it...the dude has enough talent to be VERY good at supercross-a champion even-if he wanted to put the time into learning it.

Are you serious?
He looks good.
Corner speed isn't great BECAUSE the track is tight, hard as a rock, slippery and marbley.
Going better than many privateers just in this video.

Cool to see.
Love to see him do a few rounds over here.

Agreed and i'm actually happy someone said the obvious this kid has Talent and can do very good in whatever he chooses to do. I for one hope he's going to give USA a shot in the future but the chances are slim i know that too but i sure can hope he does

I'm pretty sure for the SMX MANUFACTURERS Cup KTM aren't going to send him because he's so terrible at an SX-type event. Probably some pretty good preparation.

I couldn't care less though, outdoors is where it's at.

People say he wouldnt make a single main. Nick Schmidt would beat him.
Cool story

KTM wont really have much competition in that race I guess. Dungey and Musquin will probably go 1-2

Don't they have actual practice tracks in Europe? Every video I see that isn't at an existing track looks like the tracks every 15 year old novice with property here has in his backyard.

Right? People always act like he's just some novice rider trying to learn SX. It's interesting people always reference the one old video where he crashes in the whoops like none of the SX champions ever crash in the whoops. He has to be within the top 10 fastest riders in the world outdoors, I'm sure he could be pretty good at supercross.

Nope, zero public SX tracks in Europe. At least what I know about.


Edit: Nvm, there's a couple in France, Spain and Italy. Just checked MXBrothers.

Well, as a Herlings fan I've learned something from that video: he's gonna do well at AX.
