Kid's just good for the sport period. With DeCoster doing the grooming, he's gonna be dangerous.

just LOVE that guy. U can see he feels sh*t for getting passed on the last lap, but still he laughs and shakes baggett's hand like they're best buddies.

Just wait till he starts riding like he did in Europe, he's capable of much, much more than we saw at hangtown.

After watching the GP's for the last few years and having seen how close Kenny missed the championship in 2010 and then seeing him attain that goal last year in 2011 during the German GP, and to see the emotional release when he finally realized his dream, was an epic day in a 17 year old's young career, and was something pretty damn memorable just to witness. I have come to appreciate not only his talent on a bike, but his overall package as a complete person. Having just turned 18 this month, his maturity as a well rounded and adjusted individual is something to witness and damn impresive. This German born and raised individual is more acclimated to the States than people his own age who were born, and lived here all their lives.
I have said this before but, and I"ll say it again, his parents should be (and are I'm sure) so proud of the way Ken has turned out. I say that like he is through maturing or something. To see him this season on and off the track and how he presents himself today as opposed to just last year seems like, dog years in evolution equivalency (7 for 1).
He is coming to the States at exactly the right time, I feel, for maximum effect and efficiency to enhance his career decision to ride with, and become the best. And riders like Tomac, Wilson, Baggett, Barcia and the rest of the cream of the 250 crop will be more than pleased to share their own knowledge with him, one moto at a time.
I am thinking he wouldn't dare be late for class...

People gave KR a lot of flack for excuses or whatever but I think he is a great kid and an outstanding rider. I think we are all pretty quick to forget that he's only 18 and this goes for basically everyone in the 250 class and even some in the 450 class. Like when we were 17 - 21 we weren't waking up everyday to go train or ride or sign autographs, we were waking up past noon, and staying out all night. We weren't making thousands to millions of dollars and that has to ad a lot of pressure and and could really get to these kids.

RacerX, is it just me or did you seriously UP your game on the films?! What a fantastic interview/vid with Kenny! This flick was so smooth and captivating - great edits and style Chad! You made that kid look pimp. I hope we're going to see more of these kinds of interviews??

KROC is a GREAT addition to Amercian MX / SX, both as a rider and individual. I do wish him and his competitor to stay stay healthy....then WE will have an AWESOME 250cc season, MUCH better than 450cc IMO

The clip is very cool. But please Racer X you need a better player. Ever though about having a youtube channel. If isnt possible please update your player for a traceable continuous stream player. The way is right now is a want to replay the vid or roll back you need to redownload the data again. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

@MX-Roots; I also have no problems with the media player on RacerX either. But maybe you are just trying to peddle a traceable continuous stream player. Then I don't think these boards is the time or place.

By the way, cudos to Chad DeRosa on his great videography and audio clips. Hope to see more of your work here on RacerX.
PS Nice Bug...
