Okay, so a friend of mine paid my way to go riding with him at milestone yesterday. While we were there, we went and watched the sx guys do what they do. No huge names there, but I did catch bruce rutherford, chris blose, and that new "SLATON" team there. I'm not confident on the other riders names. Oh, and I think I saw something like O'DRISCOLL. Not sure. Anyways, there were also two standout ktm guys there. One was just putting in lap after lap. And he was really movin too! I tried like hell to catch his name but never did. But I'm extremely confident that it was matt moss. Chris blose tried to run him down at one point (obviously, its just practice) and very very mildly closed the gap. But everytime blose had a bobble or mistake, he would quit on that lap and watch for a few minutes. Now, I'm not saying he needs to push his race pace, but he should keep going to help with his mental side of things. Like if he was to make a mistake in a race, he would be better prepared to brush it off and keep the arm pump at bay. At least, it works for me. Later on, more kawasaki guys were there but no big names still. Killy rusk showed up late in the day too. It was obvious that his bike wasn't pulling as hard as most the others, but I'll be dammed if he isn't one of the better brakers going into corners. At least from my view. I was impressed with his confidence entering corners. The whoops were insanely huge. Nobady had a clean run through them. Blose had a 450, and it wasn't even skimming towards the end. They were gnarly as hell. But anyways, it was a privateer day really, so no big news to report for you all. Hope this kinda helps guys.
Oh yea, the other ktm guy seemed to be european. Had number 14 and his last name was kinda weird. It wneded with 'ON'. Couldn't place him. Anyways, that's what I got.

Oh man that Bruce Rutherford is quick. He impressed me a few times last year on a dang near stock KX450f. All he needs is a little support and he will be in the mains. The guy can ride. I saw Gerith Swanapool face plant lawn dart in those whoops yesterday. Deep whoops.
Whos is next, only one more week of testing/preparing? It is safe to say, the east coast will be super stacked.
Trey Canard - Collarbone Micheal Byrne - C6 vertebrae Jimmy Decotis - feet (going east lites) Ken Roczen - wrist (going east lites) PJ Larson - hand? (going east lites) Jason Langford Jr. - ribs (going east lites)
