Terrible vid

Yo kj it me mike gagnons son reo, love watching your videos and hope to see even more awesomeness in the future

Reo and I enjoyed your Video just keep at it.. I'm 55 and just finished my 1st year with my son. Stay active and healthy. I tell my competitors If I cross the finish line it's a win.. Time with your son Is definitely winning !

ok that was not helpful 👎

He’s a doll, what a great first experience at grands!!😊

Mate, what would not failing be? Winning? You were there with you lad and in the gate which is what matters. Were you being a deadbeat, sitting on the sofa watching TV and working though a 6 pack? No, you bloody weren't. You've been in the game long enough mate, and know the score.

You both are awesome! Ride safe Boys! See you both trackside!

❤ love the story !

Kj may not of met your own expectations, but keep in mind you just had it broke off earlier this year. so that took you out of training,etc. so don’t be so hard on yourself. Look on bright side and look how much fun you guys had and your son had.

That was such an awesome video. I hope he had a blast!! And dad the track just wasn’t right ain’t worth getting hurt over

I am Proud of you Brother - Much Love and keep it going!!!

Thank God someone shared my sentiments about the track. I thought I was just being a puss 😂

Making the main is cool and all but I still think you pretty much won anyway.

I watched Spencer Cole race his entire life! His parents are wonderful people!❤ God Bless you all!!!

Ya aint gonna beat The Alabama Slamma!! Barry Nobles!! Nice track once it gets packed!!! Louisville and South Park and Rock hill are my Favorite Nationals!! Got 2nd at Southpark Nationals then got extremely sick when my appendix ruptured at Waterford Oaks Nationals in Michigan!! And I have Crohn's!!! 5 stomach surgeries and had to retire from racing!!! Sucks!! Bmx was my entire life and I'm 56!!!

Great job!!! I raced Bmx from 1978 to 2016!! My entire family raced Bmx! Sister won the World's in Amsterdam for Factory ZERONINE! I raced for Factory GT in the 80s when Bmx was Huge!!! ABSOLUTELY Greatest Sport on Earth!!!!

Dude, I will second the comments below that you definitely did not fail as either a dad or a racer. You made moves where you could for both yourself and him, and you kept the attitude positive throughout. I strived to do that with my son the whole weekend while we were down there and it was NOT EASY. Being a positive force while keeping equipment in check for us both during 14 hour days for 5 days wasn't easy. And we even started with him having a MASSIVE crash on day 1 during ROC. But we did what we could as a family, and I see that same attitude of fun and positivity through this. We all sometimes don't snap the way we want, and some tracks jsut aren't our flow, but in the end we had fun and spent time with our kids; I'd argue that's a success in every measure. Keep the rubber down, dude, and maybe we'll get to ride if you hit up Land O' Lakes next year!

Great video KJ, so awesome to see you doing it with your little guy.

Heck ya! What a great season of life for you and the family. So much more than performance on the track, and you get to share all that time with Jax. That is WINNING!

You just flooded me with memories from my kids 5&u run. Awesome shit man. Keep it up

Good job KJ you’re awesome! My kids and I still cheer for you. And congrats on your little man getting out there racing.

You seem like a pretty good athlete to me. Can't win em all. And I met you there We talked for a little bit about our boys. My 6-year-old novice still won't stand up either we're working on that as well. It cracked me up when I pointed you out by our team pit (reject racing) and he went straingt up and told you you were his favorite racer or something like that I believe

Dad goals right here!!! this is not a failure ... is just another stage in life.. now becoming a Factory Dad, Coach and Vet Pro... lets goo.!!

Winning.

Athlete 'fail' but a 'dad win' so keep the faith KJ. I have no doubt a lot of riders struggled on that track, says more about the state of US tracks than anything.

What’s your local track? You ever envied with helping at clinics with the younger generation of racers? You’re a positive light on the sport!!

I love it bro! Keep em coming!

You are very blessed.

Yessir great fails..Im failing all the way,,lol..stay rad and keep up the gRaditude

Brother, you didn't fail as an athlete. You gave it all you had. You were off a while with injury. Let's focus on what is truly important. I saw how happy your boy was. I heard you say the magic words when you left him in the gate. HAVE FUN. Thank you for not being that factory dad I want to throat punch. Keep it fun. Hopefully I'll see you at a national or two this year!

This was my first Grands after a 14 year break. Grands is so much BIGGER now! OMG! I really enjoyed myself this first time back. KJ….you did great! Hey, we’re only human and, yes, we do have to face some of those fears head-on and tackle them as best we can. “Failure” is NOT getting out there on that track and trying! You got out there and you faced those fears as best you can in the situation you were in. Awesome job! And, you made some great racing memories with your son! That’s what’s MORE important, brother! 👍 God bless you! 🙏

This is a great video!!! With you being pro, kids will see it’s not always perfect/comfortable for professional riders. Yall always make it look so easy and natural. This is needed.

Dude, this is what its all about. Good job, KJ.

Dude your awesome great dad great rider. Work a full time job and still run vet pro. Keep it up your son is doing great.

Thank you for sharing!!!! ❤ new memories made, many more special ones to come. God Bless! Your “2025”

I skipped grands this year but next year me and my will be 4 year old will be there and ready to rip I’m more excited for him these days then myself

Great video KJ!

It happens Brother, Sometimes you're just not feeling the track And it sucks because we're trying to kik butt.

Great vid & great seeing you out there! Your feelings about the track echoed so many others. Track was overly technical & didn’t have a good flow. Awesome seeing your son out there having a blast. You’re definitely anything but a failure as a racer or a dad. Look forward to seeing you out there more next season. Not being on the track much dulls your speed & reaction time & a track like this exposes that. I suspect they’ll dial things way back next year following so many complaints & injuries. I sure hope so too because I’ll be attending & this track definitely wouldn’t have been friendly to me lol

This is so cool man it's all about the memories

Took my two daughters to grands for the first time. 4 balance bike and 6 inner. Had been 20+ years for me. The sport never leaves us! Great job dad!!

You didn’t fail as an athlete and you are sure as hell winning as a dad! Yall be safe!

I totally agree with you on how tracks are made today, they make the damn rollers so steep and lippy that you have to work so hard to make a good lap, and that takes so much of the fun out of racing. It’s something I’ve bitched about for sometime. The tracks are always built for the top 5% of the racers who can get enough speed up to get the most out of the track. I feel that at all these cookie cutter tracks that 30% of rollers need to be taken out and have different obstacles than just rollers, they may bunch 2-3 together and call them doubles and triples but they’re still made from rollers. Track makers have no imagination anymore, it’s all the same no matter where ya race. Tracks are simply not fun like they used to be…and I love BMX so much, I’ve actually adapted pretty well and do pretty good at nationals, still doesn’t make me like todays tracks at all…nice video KJ…

Yet you succeeded as a dad 👏👏

Thank you for making and for sharing the video. More please. Much more.

We did our first grands last year. My Son Collin’s fondest memory of that trip was meeting you. He has been a huge fan for a number of years, and he got pretty excited to see this video. You did the thing, you inspired someone to always do their best and to never give up. That’s not a failure where I come from. You are still recovering from a pretty substantial injury and that is something I know all too well myself. Hang in there. And congratulations to Jax.

Great Job, Jax!

Looking forward to seeing you come back strong next season! Rooting for ya! 🤘🏻💀

I was thinking a few weeks ago what happend to Kj???? Watched the grands and seen you... Never give up brother!! You are something special...

There was a point in my life where I just felt empty inside and I just could not find motivation to push myself forward. Found myself in a very dark place and almost took my life. But through this dark time, I put everything aside and looked up to my Creator and over time and with support from friends and family, I put God first back in my life. Life didn't get better immediately, but I knew God would have to fill that emptiness in my heart. Over time, I found that motivation to, not only live life, but the motivation to set goals and work toward them. Now, for me, the key is continuing to grow my personal relationship with Christ - everyday. Not everyone likes to hear that, but I'm just sharing what worked for me. I hope and pray that you can find what works for you to spark that motivation in your life. Yeah, I'm an old bmx racer, too, at 56 years young and love racing my class & cruiser anytime I get the chance. God bless you brother. - Pastor Phil (Job 23:10)
