Why’s no one mentioning how ping was the one who broke the wsx drug test story and said it cost Roczen a KTM ride cause he failed it, and Roczen called him out on it that it was fake news. Feels like that could be a factor
Interesting perspective, Cooksey! I have to agree that I don't think Roczen's a narcissist; I never got that vibe from him in his interviews on the podium TBH. Pingree's a good interviewer, and he's known for funny stuff on Racer X until his departure.
I'm confused during straight Rhythm all I heard was it was a PC built later to find out it was pings bike? In this video you said ping wanted somebody write his bike and his video he said Ken was looking for a bike. Which ping says he went through a lot of work to top-notch for Kenny. Lastly ping was very careful on how he worded they both don't have a Supercross championship. That you brought up wsx Wayne is Ryder to not win the title better career more money. You could have just went with Kenny got a 250 SX Championship something ping lost I think he was tied in points the title but nonetheless he was careful and how he worded it just for that reason of course he nowhere near Kenny's level but it was a way to stick it to him This banter back and forth and everybody's to sense just makes it seem like miscommunication is what caused the rub
Ping such a chill dude .. and to even get him riled up a little bit to even be mad these days.. it says a lot! I've always been a fan of Ping.. I've always been a fan of Kenny, but I think Kenny is getting a little big for his pants if he can't turn around shake a man's hand and say thank you dude for putting all the hard work into a bike just for me to come and rail the hell out of it.. let me put the social media aside.. all he had to do at the end of the night was shake his hand and tell him thank you dude for letting me ride your bike.. and there wouldn't be any issues!! That tells you a lot about Kenny as a person that nobody sees, and it says a whole hell of a lot about Ping.. who is trying to get a business off the ground and raising a family and doing other things in life and decided to put his life on hold to help Ken out... And didn't even get a thank you!! 🤔
Whiskey Throttle is an awesome channel , the interviews with the stars both past and present are completely awesome. I haven't really keep up with any of this situation. They should both just chill and put it in the past.
Ping started it years ago when he called Roczen names over his backhanded comments about Aldon Baker, but I definitely agree that it would have been polite to thank him at least privately. Ping seemed butthurt he wouldn’t post about him tho. Idgaf about this situation it would be interesting if Kenny speaks on it at all. Also Kenny won 250 West SX in 2013 I’m pretty sure that counts.
In other words Ken can't handle constructive critisism, all ping said about KR and Aldon was the truth, he talked shit after he left and it backfired at him bad, he's been beaten by all Baker's riders ever since, specially by Coop, that duo just double-teamed his Ass over and over again, and it wasn't just because, KR had earned it
Ping is the man. Straight shooter and tells it how it is with zero sugar coating both on and off the bike. Super smart too. Had the pleasure of working with him many times during my 8 years of doing suspension @ PC. Don’t know Ken, but seems like the dude makes excuses about everything.
@@steven.9263 The problem with sugar coating is that it's a hiderance to ken's performance as he doesn't have anyone telling him how to improve properly
@@steven.9263 uhhhh dude won 4 Supercross’s LOL you know how many credited ppl in this industry never won a SX? A LOT. There’s a reason he was able to do a lot of the things he’s done in the industry after racing and he probably would have done more if he hadn’t made the ballsy and humble decision to become a Fireman.
@@Neopaintballofficial plenty of champs in this sport that take their L’s like a man and not make whiney excuses like a little child. He’s notorious for it lol
Cooksey, love ur work! Controversy golden! Sick bike. All top level pro bikes so sick and $$$$$$$ Still riding my 06 honda 450r. Million hrs. Million jumps. Love 2 wheels getting air! And love this sport that we all love. I have so many ideas and ? Text u soon! Cant wait to see ur studio.
I feel like ping also is a guy that really separates himself when someone calls him out on his views or actions so I think ping needs to stop thinking he is God
I like Ping and Kenny. Kenny knows exactly what he’s doing with the socials. That’s Kenny’s brand and it’s his right to post stuff it sucks but who really knows what happened.
I love ping he seems like that cool uncle, only issue is not a lot of people know him because his podcast and stuff doesn’t get viewed that much. He could have some serious big guys with him but his audience isn’t there which sucks. I wish he was still at vital
Remember that scrub Kenny was doing on that huge table at straight rhythm? So sick. Thanks for loaning him the bike ping. I think everyone should move on. I’m actually shocked I watched this whole video.
That scrub alone was thanks enough for everyone else 😂 I agree he should have thanked him but we don't know the whole story either. Shit like this always has more to it that one side or the other isn't saying so while I understand why you made the video about it I just don't have any shits to give about it
Wasn't the whole point in that Bob Hannah tribute design to promote the Whiskey Throttle podcast with Bob Hannah that came out a few weeks later? I guess if I'm Pingree and the main point in putting the bike in Straight Rhythm is to promote the podcast, and Roczen doesn't share anything on socials or even give me a "thank you", I'd be pretty annoyed too. That said, I guess you should get it in writing.
He had to round up a ton of parts on top of letting him borrow the bike. He bought some old school showa suspension off of Alessi that Alessi didn't even wanna sell cause Mike still races 2 strokes occasionally. It's unobtainable parts he rounded up. Ken should've at least shook the man's hand and told him thanks. I'm sure there's 2 sides to the story. Love to hear Kenny's side of this.
Ping with his cool glasses and mustache is just as much a narcissist as Roczen. seemed like a fan boy before helping KRoc. When he didn’t get acknowledgment from Roczen, he threw a fit and blasted his problems on social media. With everything that Ken had going on at the time. Who gives a shit 🤦🏻♂️
He didn't call him a Nazi he made a smart ass comment about the Germans/y losing WW2 and being losers. Bob Hannah took a dig at Ken for not winning Red Bull Straight Rhythm on a decked out bike "Surprised he didn't win he had all that stuff on there" to which Grant Langston replied "They don't build them like they used to...Riders that is" and then Ping replied "He's German ya know, practically a nazi, how's he gonna win". He didn't call Ken a nazi he was just referencing the Germans having a history of losing in smart ass and insulting way. This was also after Red Bull Straight Rhythm, the beef in question was before and during the event. BTW I thought the whole exchange with Hannah, Langston and Ping was hilarious.
@@Two-StrokeLife Yeah man 🤣🤣And its not surprising that Ping snipes like a little twat from the sidelines, after all his heritage is French, world renowned quitters and backstabbing whiners.🤣🤣.
@@Two-StrokeLife Yeah bro I mean but come on! You can't say that sh*t and then expect everyone to know exactly how you're implying it. Everything is up to interpretation, and while I can appreciate common sense, this stuff happens each and everyday in our relationships, at work, amongst strangers and how we are "conveying" things isn't always "received" how we were intending it. Sometimes you have to go back to the drawing board, or stop and take a look at it before you say something just to "CYA" (cover your ass) and maybe think about how you're going to delivery is going to sound to the average person. I hear ya, but saying some sh*t like that is bound to piss some people off homie!
I feel like there is more to this story that we don't know. It has to be deeper than this for ping to not just let it go. He didn't have to answer that question on his "ask ping" column, but he did and spouted off like a 14 year old girl like someone stole her boyfriend. The whole thing was weird to me for a grown man to make a whole ass post about another man. Should've probably been done in private and kept it professional. But, there has to be more to this story.
100% agreed , all over not being given credit when he legit tagged everyone else and the company ping was working with, but yeah.Lmfao. Seems Whiney as Fuck.
Just looking for attention ,. It's total immature . Who cares about " his issues ". That's between him and Ken only . Yes, theirs always two sides of a story .😅
@@baby-sharkgto4902 he should get his likes… dude got him set up to do a race with a bike he didn’t even have… kind of a douche move to not shout out who hooked you up to help get you a bike there to compete with.
@@iiiMember I’ll agree with you, it is shitty if Ken didn’t say thank you or if Ken was disrespectful, that is definitely wrong. Doesn’t change the fact the Ping cried about it and made a damn video about it. FYI I like ping and all of his videos but crying publicly and making videos putting Ken on blast just because Ken did not give him “likes” is kind of comical, which is probably why Ping took it down. Or maybe I’m just old… but I think I’m younger than Ping idk
Championships an race wins when racing an clean . What did you say about 94 who kick started him self to a win. Nothing but respect for Ken specially when you have waded up like him an get back on the bike an win. He ain’t no pussy
Ping seems like a solid dude. Im a big fan of Kenny but imo anyone who gets groomed as a prodigy like Ken was is going to be narcissistic even if they have a good heart. If that makes any sense
@@mxr248 I agree. My opinion has more to do with child prodigies in general than Kenny himself. I just don't see how it's possible to not get a few character flaws from being treated like you're more important than everyone else from a very young age
Saying thank you is just a have too.. don’t like him or not you say thank you. I’ve said it to a lot of ppl I don’t like.. they help in anyway.. you say thank you. Just the way it goes. Not reposting sucks but the thank you part is what really matters imo.
So David got his feelings hurt so he goes online and complains about it? Why not call him or go talk to him if it’s bugging you that much? In reality if you wanted those things like exposure and likes you should of had a contract.
Ken is a top guy honda didnt care they got talent oozing at suzuki hes the big dawg...i had pro bikes from the nationals....an its that 5 or 10 percent better that they work that lets u do so much..more...an if the team is not giving ur bike the extra dial in...its not there under u 100 percent it why i was behind Ken plight i had a bike that was that good...i know the difference...
Mustn't be much going on. I'm on the other side of the planet. It easy to see why Ping didn't win as many races as Ken, and why he joined the fire brigade wah wah. Front him like a man.
OK this is just my assessment, but it literally seems like Kenny just had other things going on and would have genuinely said thank you but probably too busy to think about it.. and Pingree is so butt hurt about it that he had to go out and post it 😂 I’m sorry, but I don’t see any problem other than David Pingree Being butt hurt here. Furthermore, Kenny is in two different championships in the WSX and the AMA. Needless to say that Dude is busy. David needs to get back to doing bike reviews and drinking beer.
Pingree did a lot for him. Spent a lot of money and time (which is also money). That was an olive branch of professionalism in the face of any previous friction. He got snubbed. That being said, he could have handled it better, which kind of neutralized the integrity he showed in getting the bike together for KR. KR used him and made an enemy. Bad move.
I cant believe after WSX kenny didnt stick with Firepower Honda i know he doesnt like the honda chassis...im a honda rider that what i love i raced built KX s but when i got back on Honda everyone instantly commented how i looked more comfortable...so i get a Ken prefference of suzuki....he came out an said it excactly...what it was he just never felt comfirtable with the honda chassis...6 years wasted....a bummer....i m guessing he was hoping they adjust the frame for his comfort but they never did...
Biker code thx for the ride Kenny is the FATTEST guy out there if he fells good and in a great mood as any riders, But flat out he’s the fast guy look how he teaches and now there in the top three ! Not Larry brooks / Let’s go Mike laRocco & Guy Cooper help Kenny be bulletproof 👍🏻
Ping came across as he let his feelings get in the way of his better decisions with his video, it was a bit bitchy. He'll regret that clip in the future. Ken absolutely is out of order but this all could be handled way better on both sides. Never the less it's entertaining. 🍿
Ping, being Kens sponsor for that race, should have been treated as Ken treats all his sponsors. I've heard Ping deleted his original post of the matter. If so, he should shamelessly repost it. Ken deserved everything he said, if in fact it happened. And if Ken didn't have enough respect for the opportunity Ping offered, he shouldn't have accepted it. Ken could probably afford to build a bike a lot easier than Ping. He knew the event was on the calendar. For that reason alone, at minimum, Ken should have privately thanked him. To do nothing at all is a world-class dick move.
If you want him to repost your social media and publicly thank you as payment for riding your bike then it sounds like more of a sponsorship than a gift. You should have had an agreement if you wanted something in exchange.
Larry Brooks is cool but hes stoked to have Ken on his team....who wouldnt be....pumped to have Roczen top guy on his team...but Ken is basically his own team anyway to end on a note...hes got the clout im sure hes calling his own shots...i gurantee thats how it is.....100 percent....
Ping has now lived on both sides of professional Motocross. [Street smart life skills] Ken is in neverland like Michael Jackson was. 😳 [Life in the lights and the minions always agree]
Ping may be making a mistake by making this public but Ken has burned many bridges over the years and act's like a little girl on his Instagram account. He can't take any negative comments and I've seen him cussing out people on his account. He's a straight up punk.
The rift between these guys from the past makes me wonder why he rode Ping's bike in the first place. Ping is awesome however here seems to have ruffled feathers beyond the thank you. The same number of premier SX titles struck a nerve I am imagining.
@@CookseyMedia 22 I believe. Also 12 des nations win for Germany. Dude is an amazing talent. They all are. We were talking to him at Red Bud in 14 I believe then he catapulted himself over a chain link fence up to his neck to get to the other side. Great channel.
Roczen Is the whiniest person in the sport. It's always something. He should have atleast said thank you. From pings story he did ALOT of work to that bike.
I wouldnt call him a narcissist..ok ok part time....narcasist...like my spelling...i like ping an ken both hope they get it worked out make them wrestle in jello...
Ping is a straight shooter and i have all the respect in the world for.
Get Ping back in the god damn booth!🔥
"Roczen and I have the same number of Supercross titles!" - David Pingree HAHAHA, one of the funniest comments I have heard!!!!!!
The irony of a grown ass man calling another man narcissistic for not liking his posts 😂😂😂
I like that you showed Phil when talking about people around Cooper keeping him grounded. No one keeps it realer than Philthy
Last few Whiskey Throttle interviews were 🔥
Why’s no one mentioning how ping was the one who broke the wsx drug test story and said it cost Roczen a KTM ride cause he failed it, and Roczen called him out on it that it was fake news. Feels like that could be a factor
Ping is really good interviews...
a simple thank you from Kenny and the problem is gone
Odd that this is coming out now beeing that even was 8 months ago lol
Like somebody else was saying there has to be more to the story
Smartest guy in the industry, you can see it in his eyes
I'm on pings side on this.not hard to simply say thank you
Agree
I see Ping's side of it.
A simple "I wanna thank Ping for...." would've gone miles.
I'd like to hear from Kroc as to why that hasn't happened.

I cant believe after WSX kenny didnt stick with Firepower Honda i know he doesnt like the honda chassis...im a honda rider that what i love i raced built KX s but when i got back on Honda everyone instantly commented how i looked more comfortable...so i get a Ken prefference of suzuki....he came out an said it excactly...what it was he just never felt comfirtable with the honda chassis...6 years wasted....a bummer....i m guessing he was hoping they adjust the frame for his comfort but they never did...
I have to side with Ping, I could see how this would be frustrating
Biker code thx for the ride
Kenny is the FATTEST guy out there if he fells good and in a great mood as any riders,
But flat out he’s the fast guy look how he teaches and now there in the top three !
Not Larry brooks / Let’s go Mike laRocco & Guy Cooper help Kenny be bulletproof 👍🏻
Ping came across as he let his feelings get in the way of his better decisions with his video, it was a bit bitchy. He'll regret that clip in the future.
Ken absolutely is out of order but this all could be handled way better on both sides.
Never the less it's entertaining. 🍿
Did Kenny ask to ride his bike or visa versa.. if he asked Kenny to ride it and he said yes then he should be thanking Ken . Just my 2 cents
Ping is solid. Roczen should have thanked him, simple as that, no more to say about it tbh.
Ping is King!😂
I just watched something yesterday about that
Ping, being Kens sponsor for that race, should have been treated as Ken treats all his sponsors. I've heard Ping deleted his original post of the matter. If so, he should shamelessly repost it. Ken deserved everything he said, if in fact it happened. And if Ken didn't have enough respect for the opportunity Ping offered, he shouldn't have accepted it. Ken could probably afford to build a bike a lot easier than Ping. He knew the event was on the calendar. For that reason alone, at minimum, Ken should have privately thanked him. To do nothing at all is a world-class dick move.
I understand why pings had his say I would be angry also let’s hope it all works out ping still does the best bike tests by far no one comes close
Man just let this shit die. Industry gossip doesn't help anybody.
As much as people don’t like steve, he definitely is the king of moto media.
Big up k roc .ping should than him fir ridding his bike 😂😂
im on pings side
Money and fame will make people change up. Kenny got a lot of money and fame, so it’s natural to have yes men around you.
Ken should’ve said thank you! Any time someone does that or anything for that matter! But that being said ping needs to put a sock in it geez!
At the end of the day Ken rides a dirt bike 99.9% of people would never have heard of him
Steve Mathis is a joke! Pin had beef with my boy Greg. Roczen my favorite rider
I'd way rather kick it (no pun intended) with Ping than KR. Easy choice if both were dangling off a cliff and needed a hand.
Ping 👍
✊🏼🤙🏼✌🏼🍻
Eh fuck it Roczen has earned the right to say and do as he pleases. Sounds like someone got butt hurt. Nobody died
This is moto news? This is girl stuff man
I actually have a narcissist playlist on my channel. It is a very deep subject and you better know what it is before throwing that term out there.
If you want him to repost your social media and publicly thank you as payment for riding your bike then it sounds like more of a sponsorship than a gift. You should have had an agreement if you wanted something in exchange.
Larry Brooks is cool but hes stoked to have Ken on his team....who wouldnt be....pumped to have Roczen top guy on his team...but Ken is basically his own team anyway to end on a note...hes got the clout im sure hes calling his own shots...i gurantee thats how it is.....100 percent....
Walty is tmz
Who the F... is Ping. Think Ping wanted to make use of Kenny's name.
Ping take it on the chin knowing ur right and give Kenny back his bike so he can ride whoops again pls
Ping has now lived on both sides of professional Motocross.
[Street smart life skills]
Ken is in neverland like Michael Jackson was. 😳
[Life in the lights and the minions always agree]
Ping may be making a mistake by making this public but Ken has burned many bridges over the years and act's like a little girl on his Instagram account. He can't take any negative comments and I've seen him cussing out people on his account. He's a straight up punk.
Didn't Ping leave RacerX because Steve called him a Republican?
No, I believe he left because he didn’t like being told a narrative, but not positive.
Hey Ken, concentrate on riding and not on social media.
Bob Hannah, O Show, Howerton, RC, McGratyh etc etc
Team PING 🤘
The rift between these guys from the past makes me wonder why he rode Ping's bike in the first place. Ping is awesome however here seems to have ruffled feathers beyond the thank you. The same number of premier SX titles struck a nerve I am imagining.
Ken does have a world SX title.
@@CookseyMedia 22 I believe. Also 12 des nations win for Germany. Dude is an amazing talent. They all are. We were talking to him at Red Bud in 14 I believe then he catapulted himself over a chain link fence up to his neck to get to the other side. Great channel.
Ken Roczen acted dishonorably.
I also have the same number of SX titles as Kenny 💪
😂😂😂
Roczen Is the whiniest person in the sport. It's always something. He should have atleast said thank you. From pings story he did ALOT of work to that bike.
I wouldnt call him a narcissist..ok ok part time....narcasist...like my spelling...i like ping an ken both hope they get it worked out make them wrestle in jello...
