Travis was so much better than most realize, he could've been one of the greats if he wasn't so high strung. Absolutely nothing wrong with the Travis we got instead though
If you want to know what perfect technique and fundamentals of riding motocross looks like, watch Travis Pastrana ride a motorcycle. Elbows up, no laboring in the corners, very minimal rear brake usage, standing up as much as possible, keeping his feet on the pegs as much as possible, keeping his head up. That track looks extremely difficult to flow like he was at the end.
Man he was using his body a lot ! And I love how he was often standing way over the front with his elbows up. I don't know if it's because of the 4 stroke, but you don't see that kind of riding a lot nowadays
hd339 do they even stand up much anymore? Haha I think riding as a whole has changed, went from the MC era of pushing through the jumps like on a BMX bike to sitting on the back of the seat and either seat bouncing everything or laying it over in the face to stay low.
@@davidhilton5414 I think you summed it up really well aha. Especially with the word " pushing " through the jumps. This is something we used to see a lot and it always impressed me. I still don't know how they could lean so much over the front on jumps faces and not go instantly over the bars haha. I never get tired of watching MC ride on old freeride or supercross footage ! But yeah, then we had riders like Villopoto who probably didn't even need a front wheel on his bike hahah
Riders tend to grip the motorcycle with their thighs better these days too. It used to be all about that gorilla upper body strength. Now it’s more about finesse and I think your right it’s partially due to 4 strokes. Not because they’re 4 strokes but because brute strength won’t work with the power the bikes produce these days. Sand tracks are still mostly about upper body though. Watch Jeffrey Herlings rip a sand track, looks just like this.
@@jdatwood7086 Did you see how Herlings was railing outside berms at this year MXDN, stretching his body over the rear fender to get more traction, like you would do on a 125....but on his factory 450 !!! hahah But I think he still uses his legs a lot, especially in rough sand tracks where he excels
Really like watching these old videos. Never forget going to your mx school at white Birch mx track in Stanton mi. Back in the 80s and you having us hit and land a jump with are hands on our waist. Thanks for the videos.
I need a titanium bolt kit for something but a ktm is 125 150 and 220cc it can go +4 64mm stroke there's a 212 and 220cc kit. From the actual 193cc's. Power valves in the wrong spot for big Boring to 240cc's you would need a TM or something.
Are you running maxima 927 thru it att all? I think you'll find when it's fast it will be faster its running pretty decant though, l really need to get to my ski to train out if l can?
I really like watching you ride! Although try to get your waist to touch the bars and scrub more! Another thing that I can help you with! Is a sling shot turn! When you are jumping into a turn. Try whipping your bike the opposite way of the turn! It will allow you to have better control and traction!
What about a conventional 16:1 breakin on that thing with castor 927. Might be some special piston ring setup like chris mcluggages "750"sxi ski was, wouldnt last that long.
The mechanics just put a new ring in it, run it for a minute in the pits, parade lap break-in then wfo the whole race. I asked a pro circuit mechanic this question back in 01
@@jasonjessup8078 Dude, this footage is from about 2002-2003 when he was racing for Factory Suzuki. He's had tracks at his house pretty much ever since he bought the place around this time too. Every pro rider has a track at their house. Nowadays he doesn't race but there is still tracks.
Nothing will ever beat the sound of a pro riding a 250 2 stroke. Makes it look so easy and fun

Man that rm sounds so good in those woods!!
Thats the sound of power!
That bike sounds so great
I watched all 30 minutes of this with 100% attention 👍🏻
So smooth. Certainly doesn’t hurt to be getting advice from the man Gary Bailey!!

Jeffrey is absolutely incredible. I can’t believe my eyes every time I watch him ride. He’s a pit bull.

Thank you Gary. These videos are gold
Braap, jump, brapbrap, land, braaap
This stuff is absolutely awesome! 👍 you have a new sub!
Monster dude a monster
The left foot off in the corner and then the double!!! Sick Fast!!!🇺🇸
The real GOAT!!!
Damn first supercross track and he rides like that, This guy will do really good. Good luck on 2020 season.
Ride Red he won't be doing super cross next year bro this video was way back in the days
@@Undalbays It was a joke, But damn I wish I could ride as smooth as that.
Very good job gary
Travis used to turn laps on his stock DRZ with similar lap times. I wonder if Gary could dig that up?
Thanks
hits 3 doubles in a rhythm section *yang yang* braaap *yang yang* braaap *yang yang* braaaaaaap
I'd so pay to watch this instead of monstercross ..
Why?
People talk about Travis in SX, but I think outdoor he would have really hurt some peoples records.
Was working on the other part of track, makes no since going through them very lap. Focus on the task at hand.
I wonder what that is now?

Why all of a sudden did pastrana put in a supercross track. He planning on doing some supercross races ?
He looks like he would do pretty good at it.
