Even with the supercross season plagued with injuries, the crew kept its spirits high and looked to the outdoors as the place to reunite as a team.

Forkner and Shimoda were able to close out the supercross season and have several races under their belts, while Hammaker and McAdoo will be looking for their first gate drop in a couple of months. The team has been hard at work to make sure the Kawasaki KX250 is ready for the start of Pro Motocross in 2022.

"Three weeks went by quickly with four of our riders up and going again," team manager Iain Southwell said.

"Jett [Reynolds] isn't too far away from being back on the bike either. Motocross testing went well with Ivan (Tedesco) helping out late in the supercross series, which got us to be able to plug the riders into a much-improved motocross setup."
