Racer X Films: Ken Roczen Back on the Bike
Ken Roczen has been back on the bike for about two months now since his horrific crash in January. He has been slowly getting back into the swing of riding and training. Ken's coming back into form and is still adjusting to his new limitations, but is on track for his return to racing. We sat down with Ken last week and he gave us an update on his progress since being back on the bike and when we can expect to see him line up to race again.

Glad to see the kid back rippin in less then a year ✊✊👍
Awesome, Glad to see you back on your bike again God Bless You !
Glad you are back Ken !!
So stoked to see Kenny back on the bike and hope 2018 goes good for him. It's gonna be an amazing year and can't wait till that first gate drop in Anaheim
Super good thing this injury was not on the throttle arm. ; ) His riding looks to be more calculated and smooth in this video (probably only going 70% of his natural speed, understandably) - I think he will come back smoother and more consistent. Guy is a Champion, he'll be back and win many more Titles.
Love how Ken pauses to watch the bikes go by, dude cant help himself.
To come back after a crash that horrific, I will be pulling 100% for Roczen to win it all this year.
Where's the team for my rehab? Love you ken. Keep up the hard work. Great inspiration
It's absolutely amazing the KRock is riding a dirt bike. I hope he maintains his trajectory to be racing at A1.
Welcome back Ken!
Really good interview, some really good incite. Nice video
Wow that's funny. His recooperating laps are faster than any local pro you'll see out there at his best . Amazing these guys.
Great to see KR back in his office.Stay safe and good luck in 2018.
wow nice can't wait
This guy is the next champ , hands down
Good lad. I'm so impressed
Respect!
Einfach immer wieder geil 😎
Awesome, I broke my tibia and fibula, almost a compound, at Indian Dunes, International track, LA area, and was in a cast/brace for 1 year. It took over a year to get full motion back in my ankle and knee since they were locked up for so long. It is never going to break there again with all the calcium build up. Hope your motion comes back too Ken.
Hopefully when he comes back he's competitive because this sport needs him right now. With that being said when you get upwards of 8 surgeries done on your arm it must of been straight up mangled and there is a very good chance we've seen the best of Ken Roczen.
Well good luck Marvin

Let's see this season
That bike is awesome
His 'struggling' looks pretty good to me! :D
Cannot wait to see him battle it out with Tomac, Musquin, and Baggett. Will be interesting for sure.
I think if it wasn’t for his crash he would’ve won the 450 championship
Yessss
Miss you #94 Ken Roczen
Go Kenny... go champ!!!
Good luck of the way back
The real G.O.A.T!!! So sad he aint got a 450 sx title for now...expected 2 for him on that age
It's nice to see you working so hard and maybe you pull an RV2... : ) You can do it... let it come to you!
THE BEST
Big Roczen fan long before he came to the US, worries me he's riding a 450 so soon and doing multiple days, just seems like he's pushing hard, I hope he's getting the right advice, he's too young to have an injury like this ruin his career, I still remember RJs wrist never being the same and he pushed it hard! It got worse the longer he rode a Moto! I'm really surprised with his mobility that he's not starting back on a 250f first and building up, but what do I know, have had multiple injuries and that's what I learnt from my experiences, you have to train but work up! Just my 2c, I hope he doesn't get rektd by pressure from outside and inside forces eg Honda and other people is all. Hope he does make a full recovery and stays healthy till he's ready to race again, good luck KR🤙

He hasn't raced 250s in over 3 years. It is only natural for him to hop back on the bikes he is most used to. Honda pays him to increase their 450 sales too. I think the pressure to get back to racing is coming from within... the drive that only champions have.
2:38 was some really cool camera work.
Xtreme rider mate
Tomac had a serious crash, double shoulder surgery and now Kenny has (obviously Kens was a bit more serious) so in my mind Tomac had to fight back and get where he is and Kenny will do the same. Should make things interesting at the very least. They are both badass dudes that the sport is lucky to have. Best of luck KR this yeah in SX.

Supercross is most demanding and after many years watching the wrist injury can be a set back.He may or may not be a title contender this season.I do hope so.
I'm going to say that at 6:10 when a 2 stroke went by it was Ryder Difrancessco.
0:14 what is the name of the song?
at 6:20 man those guys are going ham on that bike
It's been less than a year since the crash. Amazing!
I'd love to see Ken challenge for a 450 win at A1, next weekend.
The interveiwer was on Ken'Z lAsT nerve there at tHe eNd , me thinkZ?? Rock 0n Roczen!!!
I'm amazed at all of the naysayers stating that KR is done, career ending injury blah blah blah... People said that about ET3 also. And Trey Canard. And Doug Henry. Those people have no idea what they're talking about, and obviously do not race. Those kind of people will never be winners or champions. KR looks pretty fast to me, and I fully expect him to be back up to speed sometime during the Supercross season. Maybe sooner. He will win races this year. Just Watch, all you negative Nancies, and learn a thing or two about winners.

i watch this video to remind myself how my 2018 crf450 should be ridden
Man, that color (in)correction puts KR on a KTM.
A lot of orange for a Honda team...
With muscles overcompensating for others, his body will adapt with time. May be painful for the rest of his riding days, but the improvements are not done.
O melhor ta d vouta #94
Everyone saying Kenny won’t be the same are obviously forgetting the fact that Doug Henry broke his back in ‘95 and was already winning motos again in ‘96. And correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he won the 1998 250 Motocross Championship. It’s been done before and trust me...it’ll happen again. Just don’t hop on the Roczen band wagon when he starts winning again.
Monster Energy hat and red blue hat?
He's not the same
That crf looks pretty orange to me 🤔
That could of been edited together so much better to cut out some of the interviewer talking, and the repeated answers.
hey ken du bist der beste fahrer und du holst dir den Pokal wir Deutschen stehen hinter dir du packst das. GERMAN POWER
Bike already looks so good. Looks like he's riding on a pillow.
I hope hes back for this season of supercross. I like tomac but id rather see roczen win lol

I suppose he could be wearing FOX til he signs a new deal (if that's even the case), but he can certainly get a goggle deal done separate from his apparel deal. He's too big of a star to not have one at this point.

Just might be right. I guess we'll wait and see. Read somewhere that FOX is launching a new goggle.... maybe they upped his contract to get him to wear it? Either way I just can't wait to see him back racing and hope he can return to form come A1!
BACK FOR A1??? I was thinking more like 2018 motocross or even 2019 supercross.
He doesn't have a chance anymore. Career ending injury. His slow pace would leave me in the dust but he's never going to recover 100%. Good luck Ken!!

Didn't know he had a signature goggle. I know that Gajser in the GPs is a Fox athlete too but he chose to ride with a Progrip goggle because he has problems with the FOX goggle. On FOX advertisements you see him wearing a FOX goggle though, so he doesn't seem to have a contract with Progrip. Figured it was the same for Ken (as he wears FOX for everything else), not sure though.

Croost Polo thanks for the insight! He had a signature air break that was grey white and red. But maybe he's in negotiations now to change to Fox

He won't compete at supercross this season, he'll race into shape and maybe , just maybe compete in the outdoors next year..
