0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to Ask Ping. |
0:07.0 | We're back for another week of it. |
0:09.0 | And our first question is actually a video submission, so let's take a listen. |
0:13.0 | Hey, Ping. I've been a fan for a long time. |
0:18.0 | Got into Supercross, motorcross around 93, 94. I remember everybody talking about Robbie |
0:24.8 | Rainer, how great his technique was. I remember in all the photos you see, elbows high, |
0:30.5 | great corner speed. Then you fast forward through the years. Obviously, James Stewart changed |
0:36.2 | technique with the scrub and elbows down a little bit. |
0:40.6 | Can you give us, from your perspective, a fast rider for a number of years now, what are like |

1:33.0 | kind of an effortless look and he was carrying so much more speed than anybody it was it was |
1:40.1 | frightening so to answer your questions kind of then versus versus now, the difference is. And I would say |
1:46.8 | if I'm picking three people whose style, I would emulate as much as I possibly could, it would be |
1:52.6 | Chase Sexton, Jet Lawrence, and probably Ken Roxon. I think those three guys just have a fundamental foundation, like a foundation of those |
2:04.8 | fundamental skills that are so good and their body positioning their technique that it allows |
2:09.7 | them to go faster without taking as many risks and staying in more control. And so what are those |
