Ah, the ol’ pinnacle of compliments for an MX racer, “he doesnt even look like he’s going fast”, but we know better.

Ken races 2 times last year and the second race couldn’t pass Dungey. Not sure why everyone uses him as the high bar of sx

He looks like a guy who’s riding practice by himself. His gear looks good I didn’t recognize him without some gay pink garbage

I have to say he looks pretty good, yes same old riding style/rev limiter bashing, but I think he may surprise a few!

Suspension looks stiff. Sprocket bolts look to be at an optimal torque though.

I'm impressed how well the bike handles In the whoops. The bike stays nice and straight, I see a lot of other riders bouncing all over the place. Not sure if that has to do with the rider or bike though. Either way I wish him the best of luck this weekend.

Well his dominance in the first race sort of spoke for itself I'd say. The heat and main. How many laps in was he before the crash in the second main? Was there still time to make it up? (Don't turn this into look who finished the race, we are talking speed at the moment). I don't know the answer to my questions, which is why I'm asking

I think he looks pretty solid. I also think its pretty rad of PC to let him use their track while being on a Honda.

One thing I always watch in videos like this is the head. Notice how steady his head stays? It doesn't move as he goes through the whoops. Seems like it's a good setup. I hope this works out well for him.

I remember and old video of Jerry Rice (NFL WR) where they talked about his head being stable as he ran his routes, which helped his eyes stay focused. Seems logical in motocross also.

Me thinks this is his last year for a chance at getting it right at the factory level.

Meh. Supercross. Pfffft.
These damn kids, nowadays.
Hippitty Hop Music.
Taking Knees and crap.
Silly little cars with wings and huge rims.
Always on their damn phones.
Kim-n-Kanye and Bruce is Caitlyn,? W T F!?!?
The Oilers are The Texans...WTF?
If ya wanna know something ask the Google guy...?
Pick-ups with turbo charged 6 cylinders instead of the V8 that God had intended!?!?!?
Ya gotta add a bottle of Urine to your Diesel? W T F? Why do ya need to piss in your diesel tank?
Apparently they got a Psych-Ward on the Compoooter and it's called "Facebook"?

And, now, get this...I go to get on this kids 125 the other day; but, NO! It's a 150.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CUBIC-COMMUNIST-UNITS-OF-MEASURE!
Yup. These punk-ass-kids.Shiiiiiit.
I remember when a "125" was enough for Johnny O'Mara to Kick Ass on all them Commies!!!
But, NOOOOOOOOOO! Pfffft.
Oh, and...it get's WORSE! Would you believe this damn thing had ELECTRIC START!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (Well, that was kinda nice, actually. I didn't even have to set my beer down to start it!)

Suuuuuupercross. Shiiiiit.
It's just a Circus.

Where's my Aspercreme (With Lidocrain!)?

I like these two riding the Glen Helen SX track at the same time.
Villo in plain wrap is way cool too.

Let's say that he does really good at MEC. What factory teams are still looking for a rider?
