The feeling of winning the AUSX Open…

Yeah, it’s awesome being able to finally get it. It took some time, but we’re stoked. Now, we’re going to be happy for today and tomorrow, but then once we fly back to America, it’s back to the same old business of weekly training and getting ready for A1.

Highlight of the weekend…

I think the fans are always here. I think that’s probably one of the favorite things of coming to the AUSX Open is the fans. It’s unreal, so I think that’s probably my favorite part.

MXoN celebrations in front of home fans…

For sure, it was awesome. Like I said, the crowd here is always a great crowd. So yeah, it’s so hard to beat the feeling of the Aussie crowd, really, of coming, coming home.

Things to take away from the night…

A few things, more so like handling and stuff like that, learning with how some of the characteristics stick out, with certain textures of the dirt, of bumps and things like that. So more, more stuff like that. I would say a little more detailed things with handling and stuff like that.

Tight racing within Marvel Stadium…

I feel like it’s mostly the dirt when it is like, I feel it’s pretty, it’s pretty level, honestly, with the American Supercross tracks. A few little things are different, little mellower in the rhythm, stuff like that. But actual size wise of the track layout, I would say, it’s not as tight as you think, you know, but I think the dirt has a lot of, a lot to play with, because I think if we had a lot more traction, it would be a lot in and out, but it wouldn’t look that tight because we’re carrying a lot more speed. But this weekend we didn’t have a lot of traction for our front and rear end.

Thoughts on the track layout…

I liked the layout, honestly. It flowed nice for me and a lot of fun rhythms, a few quads, so I’m always happy when you can get a few quads in.

The chances of returning for AUSX 2026…

Yeah, we’ll see. As of right now, I don’t think we have it in plan, [we need] to just give ourselves a break and not burn ourselves out. You know, the past five years of being a professional athlete, we’ve had two weeks off max. This year we’ve only had a week and a half off. So obviously that’s in our control. You know, we don’t have to do these, we decided to do them because we have a lot of fun at them and stuff like that, but I think next year we most likely might just relax and take some time off and just kind of re-coop again.
