How can you not like that kid! Huge difference from that video before. I think he is going to be up front right away!

Super nice kid with great attitude. Hard to not root for him, but I don't see him beating Barcia of the PC guys in SX. He looked super great in this video, but without a comparison to the other riders, it's too hard to say.

Yep!! And considering they're the 2 best starters on the line at a ama race if they can't get a start on the 350's nobody can.

Ken looks great on that KTM. I hope he can improve on his starts because in the GP series in 2010 that was really a problem. I think he lost the world championship because Musquin always was up front, and Ken always had to fight his way up through the pack. By the time he came to the front Marvin was long gone.

If his starts are good he will have some good finishes.

He is alot of fun to watch ride. Im expecting big things from him this year. But I feel like he looks just a hair off in Supercross.

Just like Pourcell, I expect this kid to kick a lot of ass this season.

Friends of mine were at the MX Des Nations in Colorado and said the guy was insane.

Isn´t it great to hear a guy who speaks a second language, yet he gives better interviews and more of his persona than the English speaking guys?

Yes it is... Seems like a very cool kid, almost looks like Barcias half brother or something off the bike, maybe a younger Grant Langston on it

Ha! You mean some of the English speaking guys... Smile

Windham and Shorty do great interviews.

Either way, I hope the kid does great. He's certainly fast enough and has a great attitude. His ride at the mxdn was ridiculous! Almost a Villopoto ride.

Wow. Cool vid. Maybe I might start getting wacked up on sugar and see if I start going real fast. I would have thought dieticians and the like they have these days would make sure that energy drinks and soft drinks were going no where near these guys' bodies while they are training and racing. Very surprising to me anyway.

I did not say that you stupid, it was another poster. I said that I don't believe he will be top five at the end of the season. Don't make crap up.

Like I said,,. you don't get hurt practicing for SX in the corners it's always in the jumps. He seems to have the hard rhythm sections down. Corner speed is natural. Most of us have seen it come race time.

His timming, rythem and balance are so good, those jumps half way through the stutters were perfect and blew me away a bit, his seat bouncers [lol] put him exactly where he wanted to be.He seems to overuse the back brake a little[just an opinion] for supercross corner speed and he might have to work on that a little after A1,but hey it was only a photo day.

...He's learning in supercross,but is able to scrub like the best guys, is on top physically... Hard to guess he won't be on the podium at Anaheim...

Man.....I'm so jealous of that kid! It would be awesome to be 17 again , be one of the fastest riders in the world and travel around the world doing what you love.

He seems like a really cool kid man.....i hope he does well here , has a lot of fun and we can see him do the full two series next year.
