Welcome everybody to another edition of the FXR one-on-one podcast. Thanks for listening, man. I appreciate it. Looking forward to this one. It should be really informative and pretty funny all at the same time. Thank you to FXR racing for coming on board this show. Malcolm Stewart, some guy named Phil, ClubMX, using FXR racing out there. Stuff looks really, really good this year. They've done a great job. They've got multiple lines of gear to choose from some really good styles and colors. And a Pupomx 30 code is the code to save with FXR racing. And we had Malcolm Stewart on the Pulp Show talking about fishing. And he's partnered up with the FXR guys to help his fishing line. It's all on FXR Racing.com. And yeah, thank you to those guys for coming on board.

0:38.9

And use that code to save. Fishing, snowmobile, mountain bike stuff, Moto, all of it. Pulpemex 30 code at FXRRRacing.com. Maxis, tires, and Firepower will tell you more about later on on this show. but I thought this would be really interesting and very, very topical right now as we saw

0:55.1

Ken Roxon just rip off his second win of the year, get 14 points back of the title chase on the Pipe's Motorsports Suzuki. And the man has been with Kenny for a long time during the week, helped him at the races as well, practice bike life. He's tied into the industry as much as maybe anybody around. Payton Stevenson,

1:13.3

what's up, man? How are you? Hey, Steve. How are you? Thanks for doing this. Now, you came in a studio

1:17.4

two years ago? Yeah, I think it was two years ago. Yeah. It was a while ago. But yeah, so you've

1:23.5

been in studio before. Appreciate that always. Nice to catch up with you. Thanks for doing this. Thanks for having me. Dude, the win was great, man. He was on it. It was a great track for him because it was sort of technical, big whoops. He got the lead early. Ken Roxen, of course, we're talking about. And really, really cool story here. He's led the most laps, Peyton, in five years. He's won the most

1:45.3

second win is the most wins in his season, I think, in four years. A really cool season for

1:51.7

your guy, Kenny. Yeah, yeah. Honestly, right now, I think this might be some of the best

2:00.2

I've ever seen him ride.

2:02.7

Let's see, we're going on 10 years.

2:05.4

I've been with him this year.

2:07.4

The off season of 2016 was unbelievable.

2:12.3

That was actually my first year with him.

2:13.7

So going into 2017, I didn't think he was going to lose a race. He didn't think he was going to lose a race. It was really, really good. But, man, honestly, right now, it's some of the best writing I've seen out of him. Oh, yeah. It's absolutely. Do you have any reason why? Any sort of thoughts about it? I mean, when you talk to Kenny, and he's pretty good interview and he's pretty honest. He really just said, I mean, he said this to me a bunch and I don't think he's full of shit, but in other hand, he also is a racer who's, you know, not going to say everything. But his basic theme has been one race at a time. I'm really happy. I'm stoked to be doing here. I'm not thinking of the championship. I just want to do the best I can. Like all this sort of standard stuff. But in a way, Peyton, I kind of believe him. Yeah, yeah. I think, I mean, I don't know. I don't really see anything different from him. He's really happy. He loves where he's at.

3:08.6

He loves the team.

3:09.7

He loves everybody there.

3:11.5

I think, honestly, he just kind of, the only thing I can see is he's kind of slowed down on some things.

3:19.4

Like just training or?

3:21.0

Yeah, not really.

3:22.0

Like, he, a little bit less kind of training, but maybe like a little bit less writing.

3:28.0
