Right now, it's Vince Friese.             Why?  Because I love they way he spools Vitards up.

Adam Cianciurulo because he is fast, articulate and smart! Of the many riders I've seen interviewed (or read in magazines for the earlier ones) since the late 1970's, he's the one I would most want to see a young person grow up to be like. A true, well-rounded, role model for many reasons. He's an amazing rider, he's tenacious in the face of setbacks, he speaks well of others (but can be honest about them, as well), he's well spoken and quite articulate, appears to have a broad interest in human performance, appears to be well-read, and seems like just a nice young man.

Jason Anderson...  Just love the loose and aggressive style.  Droppin' a wheel tap with the jersey untucked.

Pick just one ?   Tomac.  I like how he's business like and humble, doesn't seek attention and seemingly has a dry sense of humor.  Plus when he gets in Beast mode there's nothing more exciting to watch. His corner speed when he's on is amazing.

Tomac.  People need to fear the quiet ones.   Honestly, we have a huge talent pool in the 450"s before some retirements....I just want to enjoy the sx show this year. Stat healthy everyone!

Jett since i like poetry in motion on the bike.

before him it was Ken, but with Kens Karen-tantrums on social media, it has been a struggle being a Roczen fan.

Deeg's. Simply because I am from his dad's generation and got to see all the evolution since about 5-6 years, from the 65 to now. 

I like the Lawrence story too. Been a fan since the mxdn in england where Hunter proved he was a real deal. 

Overall I am a fan of most pro's, most bring their personalities and are quite open in interviews, so it is easier to be just a fan and cheer for them whatever the story is. And just for the kid's sake, I prefer riders showing they get the full gear on.

Freddie Noren. Always seems pretty happy go lucky. Ridden privateer and factory teams, doesnt have a chip on his shoulder from the shuffling. Looks like Woody Harrelson

Dean Wilson. Great ambassador for the sport and one of the last guys from his generation still racing pro.

I don't really have a favorite rider, but I'd like to see Kenny win a SX championship before he retires. 

Dude almost had his arm amputated. To come back and win it all, that would be a great storyline.

Tomac easily. The man took Baggett's "El Chupacabra" moto runaways and put it on steroids for his own "Beast Mode". When he's on, no one can touch him. And Tomac was the first person we really saw go Beast Mode on a Supercross track: Salt Lake City 2017. Stewart has had his fast days, but never did you see a guy just punish the track for a whole Main Event.

I haven't had an official favorite since Pastrana.

 450 class too hard to pick.

250 class I really have a lot of respect for Shimoda.He seems to really appreciate the opportunity to be in our country, and at High Point this year, him and AC were signing autographs through the fence for fans long after the pits closed.

El hombre, just quietly does his thing and has the best “send it” style. For bench racing with some adult sodas I’d have to go with Philthy.

AC. I almost forgot about him. But for personality, I'd go with AC.

Riding styles, Jett, Sexton, and Kenny. I like the smooth guys.
