I don't get it. AMA/Feld had a talk with him earlier this year and told him that he needed to be closer to the group ahead of him if he wanted to continue being out there.

Now, since it's round one and he had all summer to improve they might of agreed to let him try and qualify to see if he had made any improvements. He might of improved a tad but clearly not enough for him to be out there with the rest of the guys.

After tonight if they allow him to continue showing up at the rest of the rounds, I'll just say that the AMA/Feld is a joke and that they only enforce the rules as they see fit.

Like Feld really needs that extra entree fee. Give me a break.

How did he even get his SX license?
Was it through AX like that Damon dude did a hand full of years back or so?

That was before the road to sx. He followed the rules and did all the amateur events to earn his pro card and I believe back then you got a regional sx endorsement at the same time. He may be the reason they made guys race ax first but I'm not totally sure of the details.

Is he still on the '14-15 Husky? Props to his balls, but i watched him a few times last year and he's downright sketchy.

He could maybe squeak into a night show or two on a 250f, I don't get it.

Going out to look like midpack B rider so the 2 stroke Taliban can give him high fives. I love 2 strokes, their day in SX has passed.

You honestly believe he would make a night show simply by jumping on a four stroke?

In that video he's rolling over a TRIPLE in the RACING LINE. he comes out of the corner before the whoops on the outside and coasts over to the opposite side through the first 4 whoops every time. All over the track at 1/4 the speed of these guys. And rolling jumps in the RACING LINE. Tell me that isn't a hazard. Don't ever tell me this guy deserves to be out there and have his shot.

Seriously though. I'm 30 and haven't raced in 5 years. I ride like 10 times a year and I guarantee I would go faster than him right now.

He wouldn't make the show with an 8 stroke. A hotshoe on a supermini could make the night show.

I find it amazing that nobody has done this.

Someone from Vital that goes to the next round has to do it and post it on Youtube.

I haven't seen him ride SX // is he jumping the rhythms and the triples? Is he rolling the whoops? The AMA should pull these guys off if that cant jump the obstacles.

I feel for this guy, seems like hes just trying to live his dream! But definitely a hazard to himself and others.

Ya, they why they have the CC advantage, cause cams, chains and valves are so much more superior than a motor that make more HP with 1/4 the moving parts.

Everyone commenting about the video does realize that that is not Ronnie Ford, right?
