- Is it possible for a 265 pound dirt bike rider to transform into a National motocross champion? We join former pro MX racer Glen Phillips as he embarks on an inspiring journey to loose 50lbs in order to fight and compete for an official ACU British motocross championship.
Glen joined forces with Tom from MotoFit in order to reach his goals and inspire the young riders that he his working with. In this video we'll watch Glen transform before our eyes as he gets ready for the ACU Vets British Motocross Championships at Toddington. We hope you enjoy watching! :-)
Thanks to Glen for being a savage and to Luton and District for having us at the races.

That dude is fast!! Respect for him,seems like a good guy👍🏻
Thanks for watching:)
Glen is an inspirational superstar. A championship well deserved.
Congratulations to Sean too, another fantastic rider and all-around great bloke.
Well done Max, another bloody amazing video.
I’m trying to get back my motivation to keep up with the young lads I ride with, I’m 46 5 ft 6 and weigh 16 stone,, Well done Glen
Cheers Docs, we loved making this. Its very inspirational to see what he has achieved.
@@999lazer I’m going to watch it all Tomorrow morning, can’t wait to watch it Max ,, I met Sean last week at 101 , Great guy , Keep up the good work 👊🏻👊🏻💯
I don't know what 16 stone is because I am from Arkansas.
What a rider even at his biggest weight was still faster than most.
Great footage as usual Max
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Tony :-)
Awesome. story
I m a 45yr old dad from Florida. last November I weighed 318lbs. im down to 270lbs and hope to get down to 220lbs by winter because I have always wanted to compete in MX but also be competitive, even if it is for old guys. But for me it is 2 stroke only. Have a YZ125 now but will be looking for a nice 250 on the used market.
That's awesome Robb, sounds like you've done a great job already. Keep at it! :-) Thanks for watching!
Been doing the same but not as drastic. It’s amazing how much better I feel riding.
Respect to that man right there and I hope doing that has made all aspects of his life benefit 😊
Thanks for watching, hopefully this video will inspire other in a similar situation too.
I was 286lbs 4 years ago when I found and bought back my step dads 1980yz125g's I couldn't even sit on them lol I'm down to 238lbs and with some suspension work even completed a vintage race on my 47th birthday!! Good Job this is awesome!!
Congrats to Glen & Shawn👍👏👏👊 what a great episode. Thnx to all for a very inspirational episode👍
So he’s went from about 19 stone to just over 15 well done glen
Glen was a hero of mine back in the schoolboys and to be fair he is still , top geezer and one amazing rider
He's an awesome bloke, and can still rip out there for sure! Thanks for watching James :-)
Form is temporary, class and talent are permanent. That was a delight to watch, such lines, such economy of form, a lesson in MX riding and a huge inspiration to all us old fat blokes out here scratching around our local MX tracks at the weekend. 🤘
Great story - bravo to him!
I am 48, dropped from 18stone to 13 stone in the autumn of 2022, I started in July after seeing a video of myself at a bbq (i wasn't happy) and by xmas i was done and sitting pretty, i rest now at 13 to 13.4 lb floating depending on how lazy i am with eating properly each week - dedication, exercise and diet ! be strict, it is possible
Massive respect. Although we all have two arms and legs, the soft science of skill is immeasurable and a virtue. Talent is talent and combined with the right attitude, it can be optimised. Kudos to Glen.
Wow, Glen is such a brilliant rider - in a category by himself out there! He seems to be thinking way ahead, and then executing flawlessly. Very inspirational video indeed!
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Glen is an awesome rider, it was a lot of fun to watch him race and a pleasure to tell his story in this video :-)
Loved this... I remember Glen in the 90's at the ACU Nationals, such a gritty rider and a great MX family!
Love it!! Great job Glen!
Thanks for watching dude!
Well done to Glen and Sean, another great vid Max!
Thanks for taking the time to watch Craig :-)
Good to watch mr Phillips he was unbelievable smooth he showed me some limes that weekend and agreed needed to be longer races
Fantastic video Max, great insight in to Glen's weight transition, flying round that track got some skills, thanks for showing old guys rule, good luck with you're fitness quest.
Thanks as always Kevin :-D
Absolutely inspirational video, I used to race enduro. I quickly realised that the few larger chaps that I was racing against were Absolutely amazing on a bike. Never judge someone by their size. I wish I could ride half as good. This has inspired me to get myself fit and riding again.
That's awesome! I think Glen will be over the moon knowing that his journey is inspiring other riders. Thanks for watching Thomas
@999lazer I look forward to every video. I would love to meet Glen he seems extremely humble and an amazing racer. Can't wait to see him win more titles. Hats off to him and you for proving to the world there is hope for all of us
glen has always been a big guy it must have been at least 24 years ago when he was racing top flight motocross. the welsh fans used to love him racing at cymthig hill wednesday evening events.
15 years since he raced a British championship, so yeah maybe 20 odd years since his heyday. Safe to say he's a British/Welsh MX legend! :-D Thanks for watching Dave
Well done Glen and Shaun! Awesome riding and congrats on your journey Glen! Keep at it bro! Another great video as usual!
Thanks for taking the time to watch dude :-)
Back in the mid-eighties, I would routinely watch a 250lbs + Jojo Keller absolutely whip the competition at Southwick on a 125. In case you were thinking that the competition was lame it wasn't. Up here in New England we have the NESC which is the most competitive organization in this area of the country and back then we had guys like Joe Waddington, Pat Barton, Jimmy Meenhan, David Rudnicki, Doug Henry, Todd Richotte and at least a half dozen more guys who were the second fastest guys in the country right behind the guys in the AMA motocross nationals. How Jojo could make that little bike go that fast I'll never know, but there he was, riding on the red line all the way around the track. Sure, he'd get beat once in a while by guys like John Dowd and Waddington, but for the most part, if Jojo showed up, most of the guys knew they were racing for second place. And if Jojo couldn't beat you with speed, he wouldn't hesitate to give guys a real good hard block pass or just go for their leg altogether. He was an absolute beast on that bike, and his level of aggression was unmatched. But yeah, Jojo made that little bike fly.
You can never judge a book by its cover i guess. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to watch :-)
Thought you might like this story. I helped work security at Unadilla last year and got to talk to Jojo & his wife while there. Great people and it was good to see him still kicking about the track.
Go gettem Glen!! Never too old or out of shape to give it a go.🔥🔥🔥
Exactly that! Thanks for watching Randy :-D
Well done Glenn. What a transformation and great ride.
And well done to Shaun. Still fast for an oldie. 😉👍
I’m 160kg. Love my riding. Poor health has lead me to creep up to this weight. It’s a good honest video like this that inspires and motivates. I’ll be looking at moto fit and their programs.
Thanks for taking the time to watch, even if Glen can inspire just one or two people i know he'll be absolutely over the moon with that! Thanks again :-)
As a 45 year old rider getting back into the sport after a 15 year break, what a motivation!! Well done Glen
I can remember when every bike had drum brakes including the best ones!! Ive just bought a 2015 Husky FE 250.
I'm 2 months away from 72, and im loving it. I wasnt ever any good, but it sure beats going down the gym😯✅
Right on Glenn congrats! That was an exciting video. God bless 👍
congrats dude yiu are fast gleen congrats for all your transformation and the brazil is cheering for you
MAX YOUR VIDEOS ARE THE BEST ,THIS ONE IS FROM ANOTHER ANGLE 📐 WELL DONE GLEN YOU ARE SUCH A STRONGER HAPPY CHARACTER THAT HAS REALLY TRAINED TO NOT ONLY LOSE WEIGHT BUT INCREASE THE FITNESS LEVEL TO SLICE THROUGH THE PACK LIKE A “LAZER” THROUGH BUTTER.FOR SURE MY FAVOURITE MOTIVATIONAL VIDEO ,LOVING ❤THE TRAINING WITH THAT WHEEL , JUST SHOWS YOU DONT NEED TO JOIN A GYM
999 LAZER KEEP UP YOUR TRULY EXCEPTIONAL VIDEOS , THE FILMING &COVERAGE ARE EXCELLENT
A big congratulations from us in Belgium. it was really fun to watch
Thanks for watching guys :-D
Awsome watch! GWan Glen 👊🏼 🏴
I remember practicing at the amca track at burton near Chippenham and Glen and his team turned up he was around 15 at the time , went past me like I was stood still, fantastic vlog max 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
He's riding quite good ! 41 years... still a lot years left. I'm 53 myself and still riding. Yeah you have to work a little harder to stay in shape but it's worth it. Plan is to keep riding to at least 70... Congrats to Glen.
that track is AWESOME : when can we come for an episode ??? I'm 47 !!
Ahaaa, the 'Wild Welshman' is back! Weighing 25kilos less, which is a great effort and brushing up the field like it's the most normal of things. Great, Glen, keep up the good work! I'd love to see you back on that wonderfully smooth running KX500: hoping that is to be realised soon! Max, did you hear that?? 😉 Regards from T🐻 in NL.
Fair play to him , I sold all mine then had liver problems. I miss riding so bad some of the best times of my life. I hope to get a new CRF450 if I get well enough and plod my local practice track. 🤞🏻
Most inspiring thing I've seen in years 😊
I know if Glen and Tom at Motofit can inspire just one or two people they will be absolutely over the moon! Thanks for watching Alex :-)
Every time i do something to get fit I end up injured and worse off.
Too many old MX and MTB injuries haunting me.
Well done Glen good Job!
Thanks for watching dude, hopefully you can stay injury free for a while! lol
Hi Max, Glen, thanks for sharing this story. Great interviews and video 👍🇦🇺
Congratulations and great job on and off the bike from the USA - very impressive in ever way 🏁 i am 6'4 and at my heaviest i was 230 also riding a kx500 and have trimmed down to 190 and feeling great !!! 500 feels much faster lol - great interview and video- thank you 999 for all you do
Another interesting episode Lazer. Great job 😎👍
Fantastic job, Glen and Sean!
Well done Glen
Jest goes to prove you cant keep a good welsh man down .😉 and fastest lap of the weekend that says it all .Nice one Glen 👍💥🏴
That’s awesome. I was exact same weight and did the exact same thing and I also ended up winning the 30+ vet and the 35 in the states…. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.
That's awesome. It's incredible what you can do when you put your mind to it. Thanks for taking the time to watch :-)
Glen is a legend
There was a program in the early 90s called 'The Lowdown' i think it was. They did a show at Knockhill in Scotland for a Youth Championship round, and featured Glen on a 60cc. Its crazy that that was over 30 years ago. Still the same no nonsense bloke as he was as a kid
I'm going to have to see if i can find any footage from that! Glen is awesome, I'm so glad he's part of the family on the channel. Thanks for taking the time to watch Stu
Brilliant , i hope your feeling much better about yourself, and getting much more out of the bikes you ride.
👍
Thanks for watching Colin :-)
Good for him! You get out, what you put in!! 👍
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Lucas :-)
Awesome video of a local rider by me, glens a ripper, UPPA GAP MOTORCYCLES 🔥
As fast as he was pushing he doesn't look at all tired. Well done! No idea what he was saying though 😆!
Awesome Glen Boy ✊️💪
A bit more than 1 yr ago I started a weight loss routine and to date I've lost 80 lbs. From my heaviest until now Ive lost 145 lbs. I had several healtg issues that helped me get that heavy. I'm feeling a lot better but still have a goal of 190-220lbs. I'll get there!!
Great job Glen, you've motivated me to try to lose some of my extra 25 + lb
Respect to Glenn I vaguely remember his name from years ago he has done fantastic great bit of work I know what it takes to loose weight back when I was 40 I weighed 20 stone and got down to 12 stone 12 pounds in 24 weeks by walking then jogging and getting faster and faster in the last month I was running 5 and half miles 6 nights a week after a 12 hour day at work you can do it if you put your mind to it great respect to Glen hope he can do another 3 half stone he’ll be winning those races best wishes to him great bloke 💪💪💪👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch Nicholas! Sounds like you transformed yourself big time, it's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. Thanks again dude
Go Glen I’m posting this before you race I’m hoping you win and show it’s possible.
I’m a bit of a lump myself so I’d like to say if I had a group of friends with the same motivation I would probably do the same thing.
59 here so it’s all good intentions and enthusiasm but will end up with a broken bone by the days end.
I think Glen has definitely shown us whats possible. Thanks for watching Chox :-)
Love this 👌🏼get in glen son sending the 450 to the moon 🏍️🌕
Good work! I am 46 and getting back into riding the past few years as my boys are now riding. I was 280. Now 260. Best condition I have ever been was 220 in college football. I have a ways to go. It is not as easy as it was in college football. 😂
Keep at it man, you've got to keep in front of those boys somehow! ;-D Thanks for taking the time to watch :-D
Conditioning matters more than actual weight if you are riding a big bike.
But if your conditioning is good, you weight is probably not an issue anyhow.
Edit: 6 laps is really short. Thats more like a warm-up..
I would've really liked to see what Glen could do in a full length race, i think a podium maybe even a win would be on the cards!
Grew up in clubs with glen im a bit younger and the kid was my hero on the cat honda lol
He's a legend! And still so fast and so fun to watch
What A Beast!
At farleigh world vets right now and he’s been flying this weekend
Great effort! 💪
Thanks for watching Chris!
if we expect the kids to put the effort in why can't we do it our selfs. Top man glen, I seen you at fatcats last year still very fast
He's a legend, I love the fact he's made this commitment to show the kids what hard work can do! Thanks for watching dude
Great rider ! Fast as can be ! Look out Kurt Nichol ! 😊
It really was a pleasure to watch Glen out there, just so smooth! Thanks for watching Raymond :-)

Have you a link for the O’Neil T Shirts you ware 👍🏼
www.oneal.eu/en/street-adventure/clothing You can find some O'Neal Tee's here dude :-)
Thanks buddy 🍻👍🏼
please test maico 700
Day two championship 15
👌🏻some boy and I heard that fruit pastels make you quicker
what was everyone saying about the kx being under powered
Why does he keep screaming at the riders in front of him if they aren't lappers? Like here 16:54 or 15:42
it works well to distract the other riders, its more common than you might think
I think most (if not all) of the riders that get the shout are Glens buddies in the pits
Whatever happened to the piglet yzf250 is still about??
We sold Piglet last week to make space for some new projects. The new owner hopes to get her running again
in 2011-2013 i lost 116 kg (255pounds) then i got married and blew out again, now im back on my weight loss journey, im going to do a motorbike trip of the Philippines from Davao to manila.
That's an insane transformation dude! You obviously know what it takes to get it done. I'd love to do that bike trip too! Thanks for watching buddy
@@999lazer Thankyou mate. I’ll keep losing weight and you keep making awesome videos hahahaha. This guy in the video you featured is also a champion and he should be proud.
I like burgers too much bruv so I will have to settle for wobbling around somewhere near the back enjoying an all you can eat mud buffet from the back tyre of a 450
