Kenny is what the sport needs...picking up where MC left it years ago.

Flash, style and speed is a deadly combo. Now if they can get the guy on a late night show...

That was awesome. I like how they recreated the same jumps and style of MC.

Can't believe people give this kid shit ( in other threads). Kids doing a gteat job and having fun . The whole reason he said he wore the suit was to bring the sport to higher level , I commend him for that. Thinking out of the box is how progress is made.

Great video, best one in years. Kenny on a Honda is exactly what we needed.

Not sure if I like the red or white fender better. McGraths gear was deff better though.

Thanks to this video, I just started a mid-life crisis.

I also had to explain to my 12 year old what a collect call was.

They should make a run of them jerseys. They would bring good money with KR94 and McGrath signature on them. I have my cash in hand

This pumped me up so much that I stopped lurking and actually joined the forum just to say how badass these videos are. Loved the segment from Terrifirma 2 when I was younger and although Kenny didn't reenact it 100%, it's still very cool that it happened and what they went through to make it happen makes it that much better.

My friends and I would watch these again and again. VHS days! They definitely make me want to ride and still do.

When I started rehab I would have my girlfriend put these videos on during my therapy sessions as motivation.

On a sidenote anyone notice how strikingly similar the forks on the actual MC bike are to production 47mm Showa Twin Chamber forks? I always wondered whmen we the general public received the trickle down of factory level suspension from thos days amd it appears to be about 3-5 years.

That was an incredible video and if Hart watched it he may have gotten back at least 4:25 of his 13 minutes he and many of us would like back for the atrocity that was Doonies 3 haha

Maybe I'll have to finally scratch the itch of building a 95' CR250 like I raced when I was 16 . Now I know I'm getting old.

God MC just ooozed cool. And not California cool either.....the type of cool where a guy isn't even trying and is the coolest guy in the crowd. Kenny plays part pretty well.

I'm sure we all remember where we were and who was there the first time we saw that video. I know I do.

And be honest, who else just cruised craigslist looking for a 95-96 Cr250? Cool

The tracking lines in the video were a nice touch....anyone born after the original was made probably don't know what that is.

Seriously though, how fired would have all of team hrc honda been if something bad had a happened before the season?

this is pretty unprecedented for the times and situation kenny and hrc are in, I think that's what makes this so spectacular.

People don't do this normally with no pressure or risk, yet alone with the #1 title contender weeks before the start of Anaheim 1 and with millions of dollars invested in the program on the line.

But this is the type of thing our sport NEEDS!

brilliant. F-you to anyone who puts down this video. Ken is a god of this sport now and for him to pay homage to someone like MC in this way is fantastic.

Man I love the sound of a 2 stroke hitting the whoops. I'm so burnt out on the 4 stroke fart sounds.

Watching a bunch of old clips from that era now, I can't believe how much slower the bikes were and how much harder they seemed to be to ride, yet the racing was better for it.

Eli's bike looked pretty good compared to last year! I don't think his issue was fading from fighting the bike or setup the whole race, something else is going on... He had some serious work done to his shoulders, he might just never be the same or it might be mental from stress or expectation...

Roczen is a dream for our industry --- he's going to open NEW big doors. Honda was smart ---- look at all the cross marketing.
