Pre-warning, I'm a jack of all trades for my job but a master of none...so I apologize for the video ahead of time but I think it's still a decent piece to watch.
I got to chat with Kenny about his crash, breaking down what happened and if it compares to his Monster Cup crash. We talk about the bike and what he's changed with his setup to counteract this...along with the change from KYB to Showa. The recovery and what he's had to adapt to on the bike also came up, and how his off-season prep has been...click the link for the whole thing!

Ken touched on the fact he previously used softer suspension and, although he holds his hands up to the fault of the crash, he makes a point that the soft sussy didn't help in the outcome. Now he's on Showa he's riding much stiffer.
The skeptic in me overthinks things sometimes..... maybe, just maybe Ken feels KYB led him down a path of going soft assuring him it was ok... Now Ken realises KYB could have or more so should have known better. Hence the lack of trust and move to Showa?
Like I say, just me overthinking.

The real question is how many races he will need to get over the bars.
He has been unlucky a few times in Supercross but it's not like he's known for riding over his head and crashing out.
When he missed Daytona in 2015 after his injured ankle, that was the first pro race that he had ever missed since turning pro at age 15 in Europe.
Before his crash at A2 last season I'm sure he's one of the guys with the least missed races over the last years among the top guys. Maybe second only to Dungey
Well, that's debatable.

this is the longhorn sign.....im not even a horns fan and i new that...
I cant wait for him to race, whether thats 1st place or worse, I dont care. His story should be inspiring to all racers (and couch racers) out there...a fan or not.
