Seeing a Pro Circuit bike with a red plate just seems so familiar. Octopi Media

And here's two of them! At the rate we're going, there's a good chance there'll be two of them on track come Nashville. Octopi Media

Kitchen or McAdoo could be the first rider to add a number one plate to the doors of the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rig since 2019. Octopi Media

Two-time Canadian Motocross champion, Ryder McNabb, made his Supercross debut in the SX Futures class with the AEO KTM squad. He'll be racing the remaining Futures rounds before racing the entire AMA Pro Motocross outdoor championship in the 250 class. He's also signed with the team through 2025. Octopi Media

The AEO team gets quite a bit of support from KTM, including support on engines. The suspension program is in-house though through REP.` Octopi Media

More and more Austrian-machines popping up with Akrapovic these days. Octopi Media

Star Racing's 250 rig has been around for a day or two. It originally belonged to JGR which took delivery of it back in 2007 for the 2008 season. Octopi Media

Yes, there is a Triple Crown Champion and in 2024 it's Cooper Webb. Octopi Media

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing has truly turned around Yamaha's fortunes in the 450 class. Octopi Media

Should every round allow teams to tech two bikes like MXGP does? Octopi Media

Congrats to Justin Shantie (center) wrenched his last race for Adam Cianciarulo this weekend, before moving onto a new gig in NASCAR for Joe Gibbs Racing. J-Shan has been a fun and familiar face in the Pro Circuit and Kawasaki pits for nearly a decade now, good luck sir! Octopi Media

The Honda wings in the ribcage area are a nice touch. All in the details with this custom Fox kit for Jo Shimoda. Octopi Media

Team Green Kawasaki had their own pit area with race bikes for Drew Adams (300) and Landen Gordon (18). At a glance they look like Pro Circuit-Lite bikes with a similar overall look and lots of PC goodies. Some main differences are items such as stock hubs and triple clamps, KYB suspension instead of Showa A-Kit, and more. Octopi Media

Drew Adams took his second Futures victory of 2024. Octopi Media

Ken Roczen had to take advantage of the back-up bike that you're allowed to take through tech at Triple Crowns only. Octopi Media

Plus a full Twisted engine package. Octopi Media

Kelana is one of the debut riders for the relaunched One Industries. We checked out their new gear last week while riding with Kelana in the hills. Head over to OneIndustries.com to see more. Octopi Media

Beta or Beeta? Octopi Media
Place holder
Beta Racing has an in-house technician for their suspension program but has been receiving setup help from Ross Maeda of Enzo Racing as of late. Octopi Media
Place holder
Stretch it out. Octopi Media
Place holder
Cole Davies has been impressing in Futures this year and if the rumormill is true, we will likely see him in Futures again next year but as a more official part of the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GasGas Factory team. Octopi Media
Place holder
RJ is full send, always. Octopi Media
Place holder
Drew Adams (left) is a full-fledge member of Team Green, while Reven Gordon receives some lower-end support from Team Green. There are tiers to the support Kawasaki offers in the amateur ranks. Octopi Media
Place holder
Talon Hawkins had his best performance of the season with a tenth overall, a swing in the right direction the young Californian needed as there are some doubts about his future support. Octopi Media
Place holder
Long hair, don't care. See you all in Foxborough! Octopi Media

Drew was joking his way around the amateurs and is still at it winning as a fan favorite.

The A-Star gear by J-COOP and I believe Sexton has worn a set as well look like 1 pieces.

The best riders in SX futures are Drew A - 16, Cole D - 16 and Landon G - 15. Crazy talent coming through. 

Highly likely to never have Cole race one of our club events in New Zealand again for a long time. So good to have Colin getting the chance with TLD.
