Interview: Edward Heather of Cult Moto

Recently crowned 250SMX champion Levi Kitchen endured his first taste of European racing at the 79th edition of the Motocross of Nations in Ernée last weekend with Team USA. Not only was it his first trip overseas, but it was also his first time representing his nation at the event.

Team USA’s road to this year’s MXoN was well documented for the hurdles they had to overcome, however Kitchen was penned in for selection since its announcement in late August. A strong qualifying heat, coming from outside the top ten to third, showed flashes of Kitchen’s instant comfortability on the track. However, when we caught up with the 25 year old Washougal native post race, he admitted the track was the most challenging circuit he has raced to date.

“I had a lot of fun and I mean I learned more than ever like these tracks they shit on the American tracks like it is I’ve never ridden something so difficult in my life” he told Cult Moto. “If you took a lot of people from America and brought them here they would be like what the hell is going on.”
