Hes been killing it lately. 2nd in points in SX. Goes out and does 6 nationals and gets a win. Gets a win at Aussie SX. Gets a win at Genova.

This dude is 32, an age where 99% of riders have retired before reaching. You can deffenetly never count him out. Hes like the unrecognized legend.

I think Kdub will be top 5 alot next year.

Which will be good, with Canard - Dungey - Reed - Grant - Villopoto - Weimer - Stewart - Millsaps - Short - etc.

It's amazing, but this late in his career Kevin has really figured out how to bring his a-game to every race.

I see good things in store for 2011.

K Dub is proving all over again just how on a whole 'nother level his main competitor actually was.

And how he was on that other level for a very long time.

4 years later the #2 guy hasn't even slipped out of "race winner" status

I think Kevins biggest plus is ( even at his age ).....he just plain and simple loves to race! He has fun doing it and it keeps him interested.

I know one thing.....us fans are the ones that are lucky by having him still out there. I could watch that dude ride all day....poetry in motion.

Only in moto is 32 old. Hockey, football depending on position, baseball, MMA, 32 mean you have at least 5 years left.

I'm 28 and the 21 yr old me couldn't hold a candle to the current me in the weight room, the football field, or the off road course. ( Given up moto.)

He has NEVER started this well. I know he got that win at A1 in the mud, but if he carries this momentum into the 2011 SX season it will awesome to watch!

He did good against reed for the 08 SX championship, 09 was on a new bike and was not comfortable... Looks like they dialed that new Honda chassis in...????

Maybe so. Reed is a great mud rider as well.

Way cool for KW, but let's be serious. The level of SX in Europe is nowhere near what it is in the states. This is the same as KW showing up and winning a national AX. Quite an accomplishment in itself, but in my mind not a true gauge of how he will do in SX.
I was actually more impressed by his win in Australia.

I don't know about K-Dub, he's cool and all, but if you are a closet homo and want to come out of the closet, post a YouTube video about "man friends". Anyone brave enough to admit to the world that they are gay?

K-Dub would have been good had it not been for Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed, and James Stewart. When these were basically out of the picture last year, he shined.

When you train right, eat right, have a great relationship with your team, bike, sponsors, things fall in to the right place. K-Dub has seen all the pieces to his puzzle and knows how to put it together.

Aside from the femur break (which was probably the best thing that ever happened to him) he has stayed healthy. He knows when he is strong and when he is not. On his not so strong days, he doesn't push it. He rides as strong as he feels comfortable and gets points. Doesn't push the envelope and crash out!! He is naturally gifted and very smart on the track! A lot of the young guys should pick his brain more than they do!

Remember, no matter how hard you push the envelope, it will still be stationary!!

He had some pretty big get-off's the first time back at supercross battling with reed, but since then he's been extremely healthy.
