Yes willy106 Rok should win a title this year. But I believe the big news is that Dungy appearsto have the 450 tracking 90% straight in the bumps. But maybe he isn't pushing that hard yet! Keep working hard.

I think it sucks that they wouldn't let Malcolm on the KTM track bcoz Dungey was on. Also I wouldnt ride a bike with WP suspension after I found out what the meaning of WP was. Not hating just saying.Its gonna be weird watching malcolm ride that thing on WP's.

Without a doubt this is the biggest year for team pumpkin in the USA. Honestly can't wait to see Roczen entertain both indoors and out. If Dungey can pull off a championship this year than Roger Decoster should start manufactuing his own line of bikes. Everywhere he goes, championships follow. Imagine if Decoster was the team manager for Stewar

t. I wonder what Decoster earns annually? Does WP actually stand for "White Power"?

wow. these guys look solid. Roczen will be a title contender forsure, as long as he stays off the ground. Dungey, well he looks absolutely solid. I know this a test rack that he rides 5,6,7 times a week, but wow. Great improvement from that first video we saw a few months ago. Idk though, RV2 is a machine. Great season is store forsure.

Matty - great video but ruined by the "music".
I know you want to be artistic and all but the guys who watch moto also want to HEAR moto. We want to hear when and where they get on the gas. We want to hear as they go through the whoops. You can still put some music in the slow motion parts because the audio's not legit when it's slowed down, but otherwise - MOTOCROSS IS THE MUSIC!!!

Dungeys bike looks like its starting to work. It was hard to tell in this video. No good shots of whoops and the turns were bowled up so high and camera so low. I couldn't tell if Dungey got the front end push solved in the corners or not.

@DGizzy , you are an idiot. The "White Power" refers to the two guys who built the companies LAST NAME.. You are a moron. So Malcoln shouldnt have any trouble riding on it right?? And can you blame KTM for not letting Baby Stewie on the track with Dungey, they want to keep thier top rider healthy, not get him hurt before the season even starts.

@Retardcross--some guys just dont get it, they are the Stewtards.. But if I had a factory rider, there is no way ANY rider like that would be on a practice track with my rider, no matter what his last name is. You have to do everything you can to keep the top guys healthy.

@ the poster who turned a suspension tuners name into the race issue was DGIZZY, practicly everything he types has race involved.

What exactly is it that i don't get bd200?? HUH?? Ok, so let your star rider ride only by himself during preparation, how stupid and unproductive is that?? Ride alone and then get to the gate at A1 and oh shit, you mean there is going to be other guys on the track with me?? Stupid logic man.....and i am not a Stewart fan, or a Stew**** as you put it, it's just a fact that you always find a way to bust on the Stewarts and it gets old....so predictable with you. At least you have that retardcross guy in your corner, that should make you feel good......not!!

Right from the beginning, the springs that were used on WP shock absorbers were white, which became the typical WP colour. There’s a nice anecdote to the circumstances that led to the "choice" that was made for this colour. In the beginning the springs were coated by a company that produced hospital beds and white was the only possible colour for them (!). Although, nowadays the coating is done by special spring coating companies, the WP shock absorbers can still easily be recognised by the white springs. The white springs also introduced the original brand name of "White Power" which we are not using actively in the market anymore since 1991.

@Ref-man, my comment had nothing to do woth Malcoln or any Stewie for that matter, I wouldnt let any in-expeirienced guy on a small track like that with my star rider. If you would, great. I am sure you are more expierienced and know more than Roger Decoster, since he is new to the sport. I would say Roger knows what he is doing and he made that call, so you really should be questioning him. Since you are so bright. And your comment that said "Oh, sh!t, there are other guys on the track " was just ignorant on your part, we are talking about a former supercross and National champ, I think he knows whats going on. It seems Roger kinda may know what he is doing, in case he needs advice give him your numberREF-man.

@bd200, well once again you say something and then pretty much deny saying it. How in the hell can you say your comment had "nothing to do with Malcolm or any Stewie for that matter"?? Really?? So who exactly were you talking about when you said this....." And can you blame KTM for not letting Baby Stewie on the track with Dungey, they want to keep thier top rider healthy, not get him hurt before the season even starts." According to you that statement was not about Malcolm or any other Stewart........dude, you are an ignorant fool!! Get help!! @retard...........STFU......i'd rather have one Stew**** in my corner than an army of "you"........sweetie;)~

REF-man seems to have a real chip on his shoulder over nothing. No point in arguing with him...it's like arguing with a 5 year old. You can't win an argument with a 5 year old when there is no logic involved on their side and they just insist they are right with no thought involved, or logical rationale bringing them to their conclusion.

bd200's original comment seemed reasonable enough and not worthy of a rant and it certainly had nothing to do with race. Making the WP thing in to a race thing was just stupid on dgizzy1's part.

toocoolracing wrote: 11:24pm December 6, 2011

Actually dgizzy1 making it into a race thing was not necessarily stupid, just ignorant. And for those that don't seem to know the difference between those two words...ignorant does not mean stupid....it just means you didn't know or weren't aware of something.

P.S. Malcolm's not even on the KTM team. He's on a KTM support team. Probably had more to do with that than anything else.

You guys must not have listened to Nathan Ramsey talk about this during the PulpMx show back on November 21st. Ramsey said nobody is allowed on the track when Dungey is testing special parts or something like that (paraphrasing of course). That includes other guys from the factory team. So it has nothing to do with Stewart but the top guy gets some special treatment based on the testing is going on.

Jeez you guys make mountains out of mole hills at times.

Clearly Malcolm isn't allowed on the track because of the true meaning of WP suspension. I can't believe that many people didn't know/still don't know what WP meant.

I usually try to avoid stupid internet squabbles on this site but this is just too funny. Internet tough guy alert, better go hide under my blankets. And I'm not a racist to be honest, it fit the context it was being used in whether it was appropriate or not (not). You can blow me instead if it makes you feel any better.

Why use the stupid video filters, slow motion, and really lame music on the videos? Man, it just blows me away that RacerX will put up a video using top riders names to draw attention to some really lame BS indy music that was made by a 12 year old nephew or some other producer wanna be. Just show us the riders and the bikes and leave the video editing tricks to Spielberg and the crappy music to Justin Beiber. We come her for MOTO, not music and certainly not crappy video editing filters.

OK. Done ranting....Dungey looks much more comfortable on that bike now than he did at the MEC. It is gonna be a great season if we can keep Stewart from injuring the top riders.

But come A1 im cheering for RV

ok guys I worked at a KTM dealership for 3 years and now I work for KTM in Ohio, and WP stands for White Power Suspension. Nothing racist guys. And for obvious reasons they shortened it to WP so there would not be any kind of linking to them being racist.

And I also would like to know why Dungey is not wearing the Leatt brace. I have asked several people with the company that have ties to the race team and none of them have given me an answer. So if anybody has a logical and legit reason, or where to find, I would like to know. Thanks all!!!

The RD's already have this bike dialed in from that of a month ago. KTM will visit the top of the box many times in 2012.
