i remember many years ago While in Florida practicing on a small track during a winter series race. While practicing alone a large truck with Husqvarna graphics pulls up and out comes a full race team of guys with Kent Howerton as their rider. He approaches me an asks if I'd mine if he rode with me, "of course it would just fine with me" I responded. I was riding a 400 Maico While Kent was riding a GP 360 full factory rocket. Not to be intimidated I rode as hard as I ever have. Conclusion, He lapped me in two laps. He also convinced me to dump the Maico and buy a GP Husky like his. I took his advise and experienced my best season ever. Great memories
So crazy how you got all the regular guys all paying out of packet just riding after work , then you have one of the best and most successful rider in the world who has accomplish everything their is in this sport side by side
98moto He still pays. maybe not out of his pocket (the teams) but he still pays. And if you go to ride supercross its actually $65 so its more for the pros now
Barely1931 how do you know. I used to work at a local MotoX track here in AZ and the pro's would ride all the time for free. I was told by management that they didn't have to pay. I'm talking Ryan Dungey, Blake Bagget and Blake Worten. never paid bro. I still had to pay and I worked there. WTF
The trouble comes when the 'GP' tracks are all twice as rough as any AMA track.!! So training at Milestone seems kind of pointless.!! The 'Euro' boys will be in DEEP sand all winter..,!!
grippotti Of all time? =S I think Stefan Everts and Ricky Carmichael got a word to say about that mate ;) But yeah it will be awsome! RV & Cairoli are two very very good riders in their prime right now.
***** Really!? Thats badass. I've ran the magura on my kawi and loved it..never knew brembo made one. Is this widely known/ accessible to regular human riders or just paranormal freaks like RV? How do you know its brembo? Thanks!
MotoHolicJack Nah not really. I've been to supercross and seen a lot of famous mx riders at different tracks. They're normal human beings to me considering we do the same sport and have the same issues.

Villipoto is racing in Europe next year? If so, that will be awesome. Put him, Showtime as a manager and Kawi together and dominate the series. Team USA baby!!
