I love that he's running his old stuff cause he loves it
Man that bike took me back immediately to the old Metcalf/JLaw days
I had that bike in 04 and it was my Absolute Favorite!
I took 8 years off from 16-24, rode for several months and kept getting arm pump. Saw AJ's and Ryan Hughes' videos about keeping the hips separate from the upper body and it got rid of 90% of my armpump! I think the remaining is just from squeezing the grips too tight but hip position made a huge difference!
OMGOSH!!! I had this bike in 2004 the YZ125 and it was by far my favorite! We have a 1/2 mile long straightaway that we would drag race on, I beat everything I raced against with this bike, except the 350 Banshee slowly walked past me in 6th gear when I was pinned out, but he’s literally the only one,
And that bike would go from 1st to 6th just as fast as you could shift it, this just brought back so many memories! My mother actually bought her it for me on a deal I wouldn’t leave the state for college but after I got it we signed me up for UNO College in Ohio, when I got back I got my girl pregnant and sold the bike to buy our first apartment and that was the last I rode
😭 but now in 2022 our son is 12 next week he races now like I always wanted to, and his first year last season he got 3rd and 4th in the point Championship in 2 States, we’re very proud of him so we bought him his new 2022 KX85 for this season, he just did 2 weeks of Jammin Jimmy Weinerts Moto school and he is pumped for this season to start any day now! TEAM GREEN!
Shout-out to Mike!!! He represents 1000s of riders. Run your own race and get back to it when you can... Applies to all facets of life!!!
I’m 24 brand new feel like I’m 10 years behind experience on 14 year olds ugh unfortunate lol
@@adamnjethro4080 hell yeah man you better than me haha I'm 39 in whats my first full season. I am lucky to have multiple tracks within 5min-60mins of my house so plenty of riding opportunities. Today was my first day back... And got a full body pump haha.
@@PinkuStyle oh no I don’t track I’d like to try but too nervous I’m new to riding dirt bikes had street bikes before this a different breed I have to travel 20 mins to 4 hours for the few places we have and they are filled to the brim with ppl
This is so special. I love how this guy looks straight up out of the 2000’s. Im so glad this guy got his bike running and everything makes me so happy
Good on ya mike/AJ 👍🏼👍🏼. This would be very inspirational to a lot of people who think it’s been too long it’s too dangerous etc .if you have good technique and don’t ride over head it’s not that dangerous on intermediate tracks
I’ve been working on my 2006 KTMs I have. 525 and a 250f. Can’t wait to get them back going. But damn 10+ years of a bike sitting had to tear them both all the way down. Still gotta get new suspension for both
Humble and smart dude to take that on...props to him!!!
Dude wearing peak 2004 gear. Can’t get any better than that
I have a 05 yz450 that still rips and I still got some of my old gear. dont fit but I still have it hahah
I wish they made reproductions of that gear. Some of the best looking stuff
Inspiring cause I'm getting back on a bike after 6 years off
Bro give it hell
Aj your going to be a awesome parent if u ever build a family lots of kids look up to you! Keep up the good work
This fired me up. Just got a bike also after 15 years away from racing and I’m still wearing my old kit too 😅. Totally obsessed with these videos. Thank you!
I was just admiring my buddy’s 2005 YZ250F today actually. Made me miss the one I had back then.
Can say, dont miss my old 400 or 426 tho.
@@zeropointmx2552 me either man, me either.
That guys story is alot like mine. I took about a 10 year hiatus off my bike. My hiatus was due to having a couple kids though.
I still had my 04 CRF 450 that I bought new in 04. I bought a 2020 kx85 that was set up like a kx100. Rode that around trying to be fundamentally sound on the machine.
I got my 04 back up and running and have rode about as much as I have time for. I tried to ride fundamentally sound and fast as I was learning on the 85.
I ended up having a blast. I lined up on a starting gate last year for the very first time in my life at 45 years old.
Id love to have AJ pick my riding apart. Corners are my biggest weakness. I can go fast and I can jump but the corners make me slow.
Retro kit was the best looking one out there 🤙
This one makes sense to me good job !!
Same here, had an 04 yz450f and traded for a rzr! Sons are getting into riding bikes and got myself a new kx250f. Oldest has done some classes with Scotty Wennerstrom. I’m learning along with my son what to do and what not to do!
Love your videos AJ! Keep up the excellent work!
that looks so badass. Really love that old thor gear too
I didn't come back with a class, but I spent three months watching your videos before I started back after 13 years off the bike, and signed up for the Moto Academy as soon as it was available. While not as effective as hitting your class my first day back, it has changed my riding experience exponentially for the better.
Love to hear that! Smart of you to go about it that way 👍🏼😁😁
@@AjCatanzaro I really have you to thank for making my entire experience this time so much better than it could have been. I have had more fun learning and progressing in the correct techniques than I ever did being a mx "scene kid" in my 20's.
Gon be back inna minute been off for 6 months due to acl injury. Already been gone for 6 years prior but ay love dem vids ❤️
Congrats at making the "Show" at St Louis, glad I was there to see it. Thanks for the Pic with you. Got back on a dirt bike last year for the first time in almost 40 years, Having a blast. Enjoying your videos.
I just got back into motocross after a 8ish year hiatus. First track day back was rough, muddy 8” ruts on the straightaways. Certainly wasn’t a cakewalk but got back up to speed and comfortable quickly
Awesome! I did a build on an 03 yz250f. Got it with a rod through the crank :) they are great bikes! Feel great to this day!
Good for him! What a great way to start back.
Awesome, wish I was there just found it and in close to Spyder MX .. get the next
I think number 60 was our local broc hepler
It’s been so long sense I’ve seen the bike, and man still in 2022 it looks better than most out there today, wish I still had my Thor Yamaha pants and Jersey but I still have the cheap ARC Corona boots, no clue where my gear went though
Well TMA didn't exist when I came back after 35 years off, but I WAS one of your first 4K subscribers. In addition to attack position, the biggest thing is to not absorb every jump which you had to do on vintage bikes.
Very inspiring video
If you're talking Yamaha of Troy (the 125 satellite team) in 2004 -- Broc Sellards and and Danny Smith.
I had the 125 exactly like this and it was by far my favorite bike ever!
Chad reed was the east lites champ in 2002 on a yz250f and the 450f/250 champ in 2004 if that was who you were asking about who else was on the team.
david villimen was the other yamaha guy. chad was on a yz250 2 stoke still in 04
Nothing wrong with retro. Chest protectors were awesome especially with a sick name plate 🤘🤙💪
Hey AJ I am an old tomahawk rider that rode pretty fast 10 years ago Chad should remember me Nick Delcher 181 I am getting back into riding looking to take one of your classes,much respect.
Nobody talking about the guy in the back at 3:54 casually dying lol
Awesome video! The pandemic seems like it put the sport on another level, and reawakened a passion (for dirt bikes) in so many of us! Would love to see Moto Academy in The Pacific North West of B.C Canada!
Legend 🙌✊️
Been feeling the itch for 25 yrs A.J. I'd want to go hit the old tracks and trails first, and honestly...prob would lol sry but hopefully I'll be hitting you up soon. Thx
6.9 great score that 😁😂
Nobody’s mentioning how impressive it is that after 14 years that man’s gear still fits. You’d need a gallon of grease and a shoe horn to get me into gear from 14 years ago lol.
Lmao I didn't give him a mental good job for that haha hell look a little loose on him
Love that old pant and jersey combo better than today's stuff. Especially the Thor jerseys, they're terrible these days.
looks like my reflex rider
He HAS to do a jlaw tribute 🤙 sweet bike
Jett having a bad influence on you 😂
I take analogy of Armed combat. We dont send war fighters to war without extensive training and even a build up before deployment. Motocross is arguably more dangerous yet people don't think they need training yet they are almost 💯 guaranteed to get injured at some point.
Almost to 100K subs 😁
That’s going to be me here soon 🤦🏾♂️. Hope I don’t get roasted when I get back out there.
The fact he sed 6.9
U wouldnt know what 12 hrs of sleep was like with all that vlogging to do. Gotta stay in them toes love the new Honda btw
Omg cute kids
THANKS AJ ..............................JRHESS 76..............
AJ, camera man cams channel? Like to follow him to.
That was Jason Lawrence’s uncle.. he just didn’t want people to know what’s to come.
Chad Reed...
CHAD REED !!!! 2004 YZ 250 JUST WATCHED HIM RIDE IT TODAY ON HIS CHANNEL......BRRRAAAAAPPPPPP!
Chad seems very arrogant when just watching him, and listening to him talk, and his interview about Tomac surpassing his record, he was like well he will beat RC to!
Dude no one asked you who else he would beat, obviously stew and RC are next if he can catch them, but I’m not sure what it is about his demeanor, but to me he seems arrogant.
@@leadhead7338 BETA MALES DO GET A LITTLE NERVOUS AND INTIMIDATED BY ALPHAS ....ITS NORMAL YOUR OK!!
SAYING TOMAC WILL BEAT EVERYONE ISN'T ARROGANT....LOL THATS HUMBLE WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
@@crashalexander7232 What? I really hope you look smarter than you sound!
@@leadhead7338 i was gonna say the same to you ...but didnt want you to have a crying sesion in your safe space.
Are you losing weight Albert?
bro all you gotta say is, "I got my pro card for a reason" me, you, (aj) y'all (the people reading this, shoot even freaking tom Brady still goes to practice, why not practice with a pro? ---// I'm a business marketer in real life so, nvm my 3.5% a TH-cam s/o will work lol
