Jorge Prado has found ClubMX in South Carolina a great place to learn more about his new Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450. Jason Weigandt chatted with Prado after his second day riding Club's "OG sand track."
Prado, the four-time World Motocross Champion, missed most of Monster Energy AMA Supercross due to shoulder surgery, and will have about four weeks of riding to be ready for round one of Pro Motocross at Fox Raceway. Is that enough? Is he confident? Let's find out.

The Jorge Prado interview was arranged by Mips. Mips is a leading developer of helmet protection technology, with more than two decades of continuous research to mitigate the dangers of rotational motion that often cause traumatic brain injuries, like concussions, in accidents. More than 150 manufacturers have partnered with Mips to integrate its patented technology into helmets, including the most popular and highly regarded motocross brands like Alpinestars, Bell, Fox, Thor, and Troy Lee Designs, among others. As a result, many of the world fastest racers are protected by Mips.
The newest innovation from Mips is Integra Split, the first ever technology from the Swedish company built into the helmet liner. This groundbreaking combination of energy absorption and reduced friction breaks the liner into three separate parts and adds a low-friction surface between the movable layers, which will reduce rotational motion to the head in certain angled impacts. The Integra Split system is currently found in the Fox V3 RS helmet worn by new Team Mips athlete Jorge Prado, as well as Fox athletes like Ken Roczen, Jo Shimoda, and Christian Craig.
