This week's guest in the Vital MX forum QNA is Kyle Partridge. Over the years we've seen the lanky Nevada rider on everything from bare-bones privateer gear to the best equipment available. He was lined up for a return to Supercross action with the CycleTrader.com/Rock River/Yamaha team, but a second round with a broken neck derailed those plans. So what would you like to know from KP?
Bring your best questions, and he'll be peeking in here this week to answer them. As always, keep it respectful, and ask questions that you would like in a face-to-face meeting.
What are your plans now that you've decided to hang it up racing and you're recovered? Try to stay in the industry or find something unrelated?
Also, anything else aside from your gofundme drive we can do to help you out as you recover? Get well bud.

Ever since I saw you race the Heber city arenacross in Utah and had you give me couple pointers on the track I have been a big fan.
What would you say your biggest achievement in racing is?
The Shop
What bike setups worked positively and negatively for you? It seems that some tall guys like tall bars while others like them low, etc.
Being 6'7 it feels like sometimes it takes a lot more strength to move around on the bike than it should, and I get tired quickly and it results in sitting way too much. But that could be because I'm fat and out of shape. Please discuss.
Sorry to hear about your latest injury, I wish you well in your retirement. You were hauling ass at Straight Rhythm and I was cheering for you.
Get healed up soon!
What is it that separates the top guys (ie anyone that makes a main!!!)
What was your favourite bike and why?
Wich season did you enjoy the most and why?
Thanks.
After that nasty crash, do you plan on doing any motosports again? Be it slow trail rides, to a new career in nascar.
Thanks again, and good luck with your next career endeavor

Tell us what was the best setup change or new part that made big difference to your riding. Something that made thinks work for you.
I crashed few days before you, hit my head hard and broke my wrist. When i was lying on on the ground i was scared to move my feet because i was not sure that they would move. I was at the hospital after my surgery when i heard about you. That was kinda the last thing that made my decision to stop riding. So let's find some other things we can enjoy in life. Get well soon!

Wish you the best of luck in the future with whatever you do. Wishing you a speedy recovery too.
If you don't want to go into this that is fine I completely understand. But I've always wanted to know the full story behind this crash with you and James.

Hey what ever happened to Red Seven Ride Co?
I was flagging at a race in Victorville in 03 and you crashed hard on a pretty big jump and got hauled off. My question is what injury did you get from that crash? And does your brother still ride?
My question centers around education. wjat are your thoughts and experiences regarding education and the schooling of motocross guys as they come up through the ranks. Are there any areas that you feel could be improved, and if so, how?
