Go for it man, given this quad from my dad and I loved it since the day I got it. They’re always super fun to ride and have loads of power.

@@HunterMX128 OKAY is $1300 an good deal for a clean one cuz i found one for $1300

No it is not

Over in eastern Washington, vantage area.

Yes, I only race one class which has toe motos for an overall finish when combined. If I did another class I would be racing 4 motos and so on.

Thank you! Doing my best that I can.

Thank you!

Schoolboy (12-16)

Yes.

that's awesome, what year is your cr?

That bike hates him. I swear he don't know how to shift.

I love riding both, I would say learning to ride a bike is harder but once you learn how ride it’s absolute blast.

Yeah, they are super fun especially in snow.

Definitely a fun track to ride but huge compared to a track like washougal.

@@HunterMX128 huge meaning?

Meant to say not huge huge instead of just huge.

Thanks the comment I appreciate it.

Thanks, will do brother

I would definitely get one if you can there a absolute blast to ride. I have nothing bad to say about my YZ.

Yeah, I’m definitely super lucky to be able to ride near my house.

Yeah I’m all good I was just messing around

3 and 2 but recently I’ve been focusing on being more speeding into the corners so now I’m normally in third through the corners and straights and not shifting as much.

Thanks I’ve been trying to do better with getting more speed into the corners.

Sounds good, all the things you mentioned complete sense. When I think about I feel like I’ve been slacking off on those around that you talk about so next time I go to the track I’ll do my way to implement the things that you stated. Thank you the advice when given it makes complete sense everytime and it definitely helps as good reminders as to what to do when riding form wise.

@HunterMX128 it's easy for me to point out I've been riding for 41 years. Everything I said should become stuff you just do without really thinking about it. Keep practicing what I mentioned to work on. Your ridding will improve stuff will become easier you'll crash less and the fun factor of ridding will go up. Btw I owned a 06 yz125/144 for 15 years I know how to make it rip. Not the fastest dude but I ride at an intermediate level. Maybe even consider a mx school. And I don't mean one for total beginners. One for guys like yourself who are trying to go from beginners to say at least a junior/novice level.

I was assuming that you had rode for awhile your tips made to much sense everytime. That’s also really cool you’ve been riding for 41 years. I definitely like the tips because I want to learn really good technique on my yz before I get moved up to a 250 possibly, so everytime that I gets now I try my best to implement as much as I can. Thank you for the tips that you give all the time they really Al good reminders for what i need to work on/ what I need to stop slacking on so much.

@@HunterMX128 I think some of his advise is good, but I don't agree with some of it. For example, the front end being high off the jumps is probably not from your body positioning as much as it is at the point where you get off the gas as your front wheel leaves the lip. The sooner you get off the gas, (2-stroke. I don't have any exp with 4-strokes), the more the front end will drop. Grabbing the bike with your knees as much as you can is good advise, and staying on your toes is also. From the shadow of you I see, your riding position does not look too bad. But in my day, the 125's would sound like they were either full on the gas, or off the throttle for braking. I see a lot of riders with slow corner speed today, and tall bikes with high handlebars don't help. If you want to learn good technique, look up a teacher named Gary Bailey, and ask him if he has any books he can sell you. But practice this for the ends of the straights and corners. Of course, all corners and angles are different, but basically, you want to brake with both brakes hard, but not scrub too much speed. A good way to force more corner speed and shave off a lot of time, is to fly into the corner, braking as late and as hard as you can when you are still strraigh up and down (Pump the front brake lever like anti lock brakes work, so if the wheel slips, it will most likely come back in line). As you lean the bike over, (especially on flat ground), you will be easing off the brakes. Dragging the front brake all the way to the turning point helps keep your forks compressed more for better cornering, but pay attention to the feel of the tire on the ground, (lower bars and high elbows help that feel). Now, when you are braking hard with both brakes while straight up, start down shifting with no clutch. That way you can hear the engine rpm rise as you hit each gear under braking. Try going into the corner a gear higher than you normally would, then as you turn, pull the clutch in and pin the throttle open, feeding out the power 9in the higher gear) with the clutch. Of course, being in a berm is best for the throttle pin, but with good balance, you can control the power well with the clutch even on flatter ground. Slippery flat ground probably can not use as much throttle. On flat ground, lean the bike and not the body much, and step hard on the outside peg when exiting the corner. In a berm, lean the body more with the bike. Your knees against the bike will help guide the lean and turn also. When you brake hard while downshifting and select one gear high, it will force you to enter the corner faster so you don't bot coming out of it. If you bog more than once, (pulling the clutch back in a bit to get the revs up again on the exit), you will start losing the momentum you gained. Get back on the bike for hard braking, and of course, grab the bike with your knees, (so you can keep your arms relaxed), then move forward at the end of your braking, sit down and pin it for the pivot and exit. When you get used to it, you won't be doing any coasting into the corner, and it will sound like you are either full on, or full off the throttle. I am a old man getting back into it again, and YTubers advise can take you down wrong tracks. I strong suggest you contact Gary Bailey, as he is/was the best teacher in the world. If you are under 5'11" tall also, I know the YZ 2-stroke are very tall. I lowered my 250 seat by 1", and my suspension by .75" on each end. Bright the bard back so your grip end are pointing down, and set your rear sag at 100mm. (or 95mm with the lowered suspension.). That is the old school set up, from up to the late 90's, when we were the best in the world and every amateur had pretty good corner speed. :) We were a lot faster in the corners in the 80's as amateurs. Hey, forget me. Just go get the Bailey information. :)

Bring the bars back so your grip enda are pointing down, and set your rear sag at 100mm.

That’s amazing, I was actually laughing on the way back after I fell 🤣

Almost four years now.

@@HunterMX128 Nice, I’m still fairly new to it. Haven’t even been riding a year, I have a 2014 yz250 2 stroke

Oh cool awesome bike. Those things have some much power to them.

@@HunterMX128 they really do! When I hit the power band, I’m trying my hardest to hang on to it 😂

That’s cool, takes a lot of strength to ride those things for sure.

I remember this next time I go. It was definitely different off a track so thank you for the advice. I was struggling the whole weekend to make it to the top.

The track was a absolute blast. Definitely wanna go back next year.

@@HunterMX128 watch the AMA coverage - you can visualize while you watch how they attack the same lines 👊🏻✊🏻❤️ sorry I haven’t been out to support you bud, mom knows my story here as of late been watching as much as I can though ;)

Thank you for even just the support in youtube and the videos and things you say to watch they make sense everytime that I watch them. I rally appreciate it.

Thank you. I always appreciate your tips when given them.

It wasn’t to bad. I was just laughing after it happened. Also it was cool to see you, it your ever at the track again you can come say hi.

It was actually the most fun ever.

@@HunterMX128 did you have a paddle?

No, the bike was a stock 110. It was one of the peoples bike that I was camping with, they let me ride it for a bit.

@@HunterMX128 that’s awesome bro🤣

It was definitely a cool experience. I want to get one now, but I gotta save up the money before I can get one.

Sent it to the moon
