This Friday night, Nicky Hayden's reality movie "The Kentucky Kid" was premiered at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Cameras followed the 2006 MotoGP World Champ and two-time Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix winner from the end of the 2006 season and throughout his 2007 season.
"The Kentucky Kid" chronicles the life of pro motorcycle racer Nicky Hayden starting with the final two races of the 2006 season, where he is well on his way to becoming the new MotoGP World Champion. The chance of fulfilling his life long dream seemingly slips away when Nicky is dramatically crashed out of the race by another rider. With the odds against him, and a fractured collarbone, Nicky proves that dedication and perseverance can help overcome any obstacle as he claims the MotoGP World Championship in remarkable fashion. But as the new racing season starts, Nicky finds that the only thing harder than winning the Championship is defending it."
Racing since the age of 3, the series follows the 25-year old from Owensboro, Kentucky as he defends his championship on the back of a motorcycle at mind bending and heart pounding speeds, with his knee scraping the ground at every turn. Hayden's natural ability and good looks, coupled with the sports' sexy, fast paced atmosphere, has helped propel him as a sports icon, but in a league where the majority of the audience is European, the American Hayden constantly has to prove himself and his status as World Champion. Nicky's relationship with his close knit family of racers and the contrast between his rural life in Kentucky and his European cosmopolitan sport all form the backdrop to Hayden's 2007 season and his quest to win back to back World Championships.
