Bernard Kerr on Instagram: "I hate to say it but unfortunately I will not be rolling out into the stadium today to try and qualify at Anaheim 1. I’ve been told a bunch of different reasons why by the AMA and the FIM but all I really know is that even though I do have an FIM license they won’t let me. So THANK YOU so much for all the support it’s been unreal! I will do a full video after the event explaining as much as I can and thanking everyone that has supported this! It’s been one hell of a journey and experience so thank you again! #prAy1"

This guys attitude stinks, sooner he leaves mtb for road the better.not that anyone here cares, but Sam Gaze is now teammates with Van der Poel

With regards to Kerr at A1, I don't think he would have qualified (guess it depends how many guys showed up) but I was interested to see how he went. Shame he was told he could race then wasn't allowed.

Vdp or gaze?
Gaze
No doubt there are some legitimate concerns about letting him try to qualify. That said, I'd say most of it is political/ideological as evidenced by the level of butthurt on the Vital MX thread... This sums it up nicely (and shamelessly stolen from said thread):SH1TE

So what’s the reason Kerr couldn’t race?
His POV – that any non-US person with an FIM license could enter without any regional or national points – seemed a bit far fetched to me. Or did I misunderstand?
If that was the case, it seems like there’d be thousands of wealthy brit, dutch, Italian and spanish kids lined up for every SX quali. They’d need an extra 4 days for the qualies.
I’d assumed his industry contacts had confirmed it. Kerr looks pretty stupid now, but perhaps he was hoodwinked.
I’m not being a dick — it was a cool story/idea/social media campaign.

I am not certain of the points required to enter a SX event on local and national races but I assume he didn't have enough races under his belt. Hell I can't even find his name online over the past with race results or anything. I have friends that haven't raced Pro in close to 10 years and their random results show up fine. I didn't see anything in those videos that would indicate he is more than say an Intermediate level rider. Maybe they didn't show him going hard who knows. Was good publicity I guess....that is a shot of my buddies bike. Yes its an RMZ converted to a 500 smoker.

Kerr was interviewed on the downtime podcast which dropped just before xmas...... apparently this was the result of a bet with some moto dudes from his time living in NZ. don't think he has any actual moto race experience.
Gotta give him credit for having the balls to want to try, anytime there is a crossover athlete people will wanna hate.
I think its was a cool idea and a shame he didn't get a shot, if he was able to qualify it would have given WC downhillers some shine for sure.
A few years ago I would have said no chance he qualifies, but if Conor can go the distance with Floyd? Anything is possible.

I really hope he can get it together this season, he has talent but has been broken a lot recently.
The fact that he posts clips of him absolutely shredding at the hill I can see from my house helps me be a fan.
brannigan rides like a fucking goon. i love it. his run at windham from a few years back with like 4 wrecks is so amazing. there it is:
Its hilarious in a 'head injurys aren't actually all that funny' sort if a way.

Yeah, he definitely has a lot of speed in him and I like his riding too. I just doubt that he will have a good time on the propain team. But maybe I'm wrong and he will have the season he deserves.
I also have my doubts, he's gone from Trek to Commencal to GT and now Propain, not really moving forward.....
No that's a yamaha.
Moir to reflective insulation and two by four framing......now that's a scoop.

While i see your point, there are more than a few examples of good riders whose career took a dive after changing to a
