So

I went to a knee pad, and I taped it just as gnarly as I could tape it.

And so I went into Tampa, did the tape, did the knee pads.

I couldn't grip, like, with the knee braces anymore, like, the way it was, like, torn or whatever it was.

I just didn't have any feeling of it.

So I didn't ride during the week.

Just showed up on the races for that whole year, actually.

I want to say, um, talk a little bit about how it's been at pro circuit so far.

How was the day?

It was good.

First moto, I was running second there, and teammate run me pretty high and ended up, I wouldn't say getting cleaned out, but...

Pretty aggressive and ended up having to go across the ruts.

And when you get up there, my front end was kind of out of one, in one, and I ended up going down.

So that was a bummer.

I feel like 3-4 was, you know, pretty, I wouldn't say easy, but it was definitely on the cards today.

The

uh nate frasher branson final race of the year final race of smx give me just a recap of your 2026 where you stand on it i'd imagine you didn't quite hit your goals but you're happy with like the feeling the speed and whatnot

I'd say it's a little up and down.

It's been a little bit of a struggle in some points of the season for sure.

I feel like the beginning of Supercross was pretty bad.

I was dealing with some stuff and then towards the end of Supercross, I felt like I really hit my stride and felt like we were in a good spot, able to win some races.

compete for winning races, won a race.

And then in outdoors, I was just steady this year.

uh finally if anything do you maybe regret not making the change sooner now that you have like made the jump are you like maybe i could have done this two years ago and reinvigorated things
