Roczen is the only name I could put to a face in that photo, since I pretty much ignore all other sports! Edit- except for Bryant, who I didn't actually recognize at first.

Not knowing who Kobe Bryant is, is just ignorant and further proves how clueless you are about the real world around you. I knew you were stuck in the 80s.

I wonder if the other Athletes were asking,"Who's the blonde haired little dude with the crazy Scars on his arms"??

Yes, what they also don't know is he is the toughest SOB in the photo and also the best athlete of the bunch. Probably one of the lowest paid, and that my friends sucks.

I have to disagree on the best athlete of the bunch,
the rest I definitely agree.

Wow- sounds like you carried over a fight with Jeffro from another thread.
I wonder what the ratio is of Americans who recognize Kobe Bryant versus those who could recognize and name say, the Secretary of State. I imagine it would be a huge difference. Woohoo

I honestly see Ken Roczen expanding this sport and bring in sponsors in the future. He is the face of the MOTO industry at the moment. guys got a huge fan base. he has that peoples attitude and says what he thinks.
almost like how Mcgrath, RC,Reed and JS7 all where many years ago.. and that personality left. ( except reed)

KRoc will be the reason Moto Guys end up with individual luxury sponsors like Rolex and stuff.
I seen his apart of the Breitling crew, which is huge!!!!

I honestly think this kind of publicity is needed... You look back in the early 2000's when riders like Reed wore full Versace suits to awards nights, top 3 guys would Arrive to races in privet jets and helicopters,
Where on late night shows and people out side the moto industry still knew who they where.
Its needed now more then ever. Need to get the money back into the sport and bring across a new looks, new company and sponsors. The more these SX athletes are shown... the more people see and become interested involved.

That all sounds arrogant.. I just miss the days where supercross had a personality to it and people who didn't follow the sport, still knew who the top guys where .

any pro in any sport is solid. Other sports aren’t hitting a rut at 40 mph on a jump face,35 minutes no breaks at high hr twice. Respect to all but mx pros are bad azz overall strength endurance skills.

yeah agree but he NEEDS titles to acomplish that level of recognition, the morning show (or what ever) arent going to have him on for finishing 3rd no matter how cool his suit is..

.and imo eli is about a charismatic as a tree stump.

and yanks hate frenchies so marv wont be much chop...

barcia, anderson webb etc are hillbillies.

Endurance? Maybe. Strength? Absolutely not. Any football player has Ken beat times ten when it comes to strength.

Even though he isn't in this conversation but has anyone seen a Floyd Mayweather training video or seen Floyd Mayweather go 12 rounds? Boxing is a brutal sport regardless of what you may think of the sport, getting in a boxing ring to get your ass kicked isnt easy and takes some serious conditioning

Fantastic example of just how important personality is for your overall success in anything, sports included.

Obviously it’s important to back it wth performance also, but you’ll do so much better in this world if you’re someone people can connect with.

Such a polar opposite to this years outdoor 450 champ.
