1:45 thats where my RM 125 engine blew at my first race first lap in 1985......i was so excited to hit that jump and all i got was a blaaaaaah and walked my bike back to the van
i was just think that there's no more awful sound than one lone thumper making its way around a track. it sounds like it's clipping out and misfiring in every straight/jump.
Max seems like a racer who would perform on any bike. Max and Dean-0 were always w/ the Star guys training so he fits in well. He was kitted with Fly for SX 23 & 24, this ride he has Thor kit on.
I first got to go to south wick in '79' I was 15 I saw bob Hannah in person and thought he was god..lol..wow long ago when things were so very different I miss the good ol' days horribly. 11 years later im riding in the national there i think I rode 89, 90,and 91 I know Hanna was in one of them I remember him blowing by me lol so fun to say and to have rode with the big boys hell yaaa!!!!
Good stuff, I just personally hit the vintage class 40🤦♂️ I've rode with a bunch of pros and freestyle guys, but when I met Rodger, I had a star-struck moment for sure. 😂🏁
Use to race at Southwick years ago. I still go there to watch the local races and will be there on 6/29. 🙃 I understand that it's Deegan's least liked track.
Great move by Max, hope he can stack some wins on this bike. I know he was supposed to be racing WSX with Firepower which is why he was SX only, I haven’t seen any official updates about WSX but this move makes it seem like it’s dead. Strange as they’ve made some new hires to run it, does anyone think they will do any rounds this year or are they gearing up for next year? Or just hiring to shut down 😂
max didn't want to race mx tbf. it wasn't that FPH didn't want him doing it. it was mutual. I'm super curious about his 2025 contract as well. star does do SX-only deals (e.g., lorezo lopes). so it could be one of those. (he's supposedly racing mx now for smx seeding).
really? it sounds like a discordant frog to me. every single straight/jump it sounds like it's struggling with a rev limiter and choking on bad fuel. (i know that's not specific to the bike. it's a 4-stroke thing, but fuck me! it's a lonely, awful sound).
Are all the teams practicing at southwich b4 the race or is it only star? Anstie gonna open some eyes At southwich he was one of the very very few who could ride sand close to herlings.
you might want to adjust your expectations. they sound like expecting ty masterpool to win pala after 1 day on his new pc bike. but at least you didn't say he was gonna win. so there's that. :)
@@TheBullet51 i vaguely remember something like that, but the national track is always different from the one you can ride on other weekends anyway. I'm pretty sure they were practicing at Pala the week before as well. so something has changed (i think pala had open practice?).
Has been the last couple years, it's not deep sand anymore just loose on top. I've heard that they've been bringing in sand trying to make it deep again but that takes a lot of time and sand lol
I thought there was a rule they couldn't ride the track 10 days prior to the race?? also.....don't they have to run production swingarm?? looks lengthy in the back to me.....
@@georgelynch6139 because its a public track. anyone can pay and go ride there on the weekends. plus this track will be nothing like this come race day
@MrIke303 i have adhd and don’t remember a lot, so i’m not sure but there was a moto where jason anderson was pushing jett as wide as possible, i would just watch both motos
he has stated that he prefers sx at this point in his career. it's also worth pointing out that deano (former teammate) has bad knees, and mx is much more brutal than sx, where he can hide his weakness behind skill/finess. sx is definitely easier on the body. as stated above, it is more popular and generally pays more. /2cents
I'm really happy for Max, strange to see 👀 him on a Yamaha! I really hope all goes well for him, he deserves this opportunity! I hope the toxicity that, that, punk Deegan and his old man, doesn't affect him!
Well because it not “just” a beginner’s class” any longer, if someone older is riding well it can be used as a way to get or keep a rider on a team when there isn’t currently room in the premier class.
@MrIke303 they should share more media rights money with riders who make the main show or something like the NBA did.I like what your saying tho. But I mean I like it how it is now it kinda evens itself out. Anstie hasnt really done much over here in usa. Motocross is not a career of longevity that's for sure. Surprised Mr Jason Anderson still chugging along at 31. I like watching the bryton Carroll and carsten stuff on TH-cam. I support privateers who charge hard but it's a brutal sport
Indeed I am fully aware of his history. But he will be inconsistent and is viewed maybe with one eye on the WSX. He can win races and in a short run series like WSX figure, but week in week out in normal outdoor or SX will not be in the mix over an extended period. That is his history. He can win but will follow this up with a crash or a average finish.
Max hates MX so screaming it in 3 probably blows up in race ! Has a excuses then everyone fast riding on their own! I guess we going to find out if he’s got the minerals! Next weekend
So weird to see a 30 year old man wanting to race 16 year olds on a 250…. Bro you’re a 450 rider buddy. You’re never gonna beat Deegan. That star bike ain’t the problem. It’s a skill issue bud
Apparently you don't watch Motocross first off there's nobody racing at 16 there's plenty of guys in the 250 class Jordan Smith and others that are older in their career The AMA should
FACTORS: First, it is a bike that's new to him and he needs riding time to set it up for his riding style AND for the sandiness of the track. Second, Europe has PLENTY of DEEP sand tracks that makes Southwick seem rather mediocre so Anstie should not become exhausted. All things being equal, he might get the better of Deegan on this track due to Deegs COMPARATIVE lack of sand racing. The hidden factor is that, right now, Deegs is in ULTIMATE physical condition for racing, completely - and justifiably - confident about his racing ability. However, we cannot ignore the fact that Deegs got tired and dogged this race last year. That is, a medium-tough sand track like Southwick might just be Deeg's Achilles heel. We...shall...see....
Funny how everybody on this is a motor sound specialist I'm sure they took some clapped out piece of s*** to let Max ride Plus you're hearing the bike from a long ways away over a microphone

from a crf 250 to this rocket..im happy for you Max
Looks great!!!!! This guy looks like he will be more competitive on this bike! I hope we see some great battles

Love to see it. Them star bikes bark different 😅
Oh brother! Max looks really comfy on the Yamahoe
Dose'nt get any better than that base bike for Factory fast , Max well done
i was just think that there's no more awful sound than one lone thumper making its way around a track. it sounds like it's clipping out and misfiring in every straight/jump.
I'll bet he's like, DAAAAMN! No wonder those Star boyz are killing it! This thing is a rocket ship!

He rode for them years back aswell I think 🤔
Enjoyed watching this, gave me a new perspective on the size of the hills at this place, can’t wait to watch him!
I appreciate that! Glad you liked the video. Saturday can’t come quick enough!! Lol
Nice audio thats what these bikes actually sound like in person.
they sound insane 😂 especially there at southwick when nobody was there the echo is wildd
I first got to go to south wick in '79' I was 15 I saw bob Hannah in person and thought he was god..lol..wow long ago when things were so very different I miss the good ol' days horribly. 11 years later im riding in the national there i think I rode 89, 90,and 91 I know Hanna was in one of them I remember him blowing by me lol so fun to say and to have rode with the big boys hell yaaa!!!!

Max is looking comfy already ✊🏻😎
The Star Yamaha bikes are so freaking loud compared to all the other bikes on the field. They sound crazy.

They are all in for a shock!. Have you seen Max ride Lommel
This isn't a patch on lommel tho
Gosh, that bike makes some sound! Great riding!

Are all the teams practicing at southwich b4 the race or is it only star? Anstie gonna open some eyes At southwich he was one of the very very few who could ride sand close to herlings.
So far it’s only been star Yamaha I don’t think anyone else will show up till the national

For all the people saying it sounds different, go ride sand and ride hard it changes the way the bike sounds, much harder on the motor
Hardly call this sand.

@@Kdawg14 come on now, look at it, yeah it’s sand but it’s more like a perfect loam track
Now get Henry dowd, and Silva to give him some local secrets..😜😇
Max on rails!)
Max will be a force at The Wick.
that yamaha 250 sounds like shes gonna blow up at any moment
I can see the 6 second difference just look at the technical wide open riding he does and remember he came from a 450 in mxgp
Great move by star, Haiden struggled in the sand last year, why not learn a few things from Max.
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Great Max
Parabéns max
Is it me or does it look more hard-packed than before?
Has been the last couple years, it's not deep sand anymore just loose on top. I've heard that they've been bringing in sand trying to make it deep again but that takes a lot of time and sand lol
Sand washing away over the years. Also not 80+ bikes on the track, plus it’s not near as ripped and watered as a national prep.
I thought there was a rule they couldn't ride the track 10 days prior to the race?? also.....don't they have to run production swingarm?? looks lengthy in the back to me.....
5 days
And ama has the production rule. All the info is in the rulebook
The general has a right hand man now....
Rear swing arm looks long
lol.....i was thinking the same thing......like it was a hillclimber or something
Where's Kenny Kaplan and Jr? :-}
Why didnt max do outdoors good season supercross on 250 but hes an outdoor specialist so why didnt honda carry on outdoors with him?
He had a SX only contract plus he was contracted to race the World Supercross Championship Series and he had to get out of that contract.
Why southwick? Closer flight from England?
Its for the next round of pro motocross. Maybe he races it with Star
Its for the next round of pro motocross. Maybe he races it with Star
Why are the Mericans allowed to test on the track before the next National?
@@georgelynch6139 because its a public track. anyone can pay and go ride there on the weekends. plus this track will be nothing like this come race day
@@georgelynch6139Because it’s not moto GP, it’s an American national.
I think he should make the 250 class even more interesting than it already is! The 450 class is boring AF. Good luck to him and the team!
@MrIke303that was my plan going in but i’m glad i watched hangtown, 450 moto 2 was something special, i’ve watched all races this year so far
@MrIke303 i have adhd and don’t remember a lot, so i’m not sure but there was a moto where jason anderson was pushing jett as wide as possible, i would just watch both motos
Why Anstie ride AMA Sx but not MX?
More money in sx
he has stated that he prefers sx at this point in his career. it's also worth pointing out that deano (former teammate) has bad knees, and mx is much more brutal than sx, where he can hide his weakness behind skill/finess. sx is definitely easier on the body. as stated above, it is more popular and generally pays more. /2cents
@@daneg thanks mate
35 minute motos he would fade terribly!!!!!!@@daneg
I’m curious whose spot he took.
Jordan Smith
Smith and romano are done after this season. Ansti and sounds like Pierce Brown are taking those spots.
Romano too? Where are they going?
@@jdavishornet smith signed with triumph and idk about Nick.
Styles Robinson gone too
Trans and how much that thing keeps pulling I’m sure he loves that compared to a Honda even a built Honda
It does sound weird.
I'm really happy for Max, strange to see 👀 him on a Yamaha! I really hope all goes well for him, he deserves this opportunity! I hope the toxicity that, that, punk Deegan and his old man, doesn't affect him!
Antsie 1 year older and 1 second slower.
Anstie run 450 or 250?
250
He is fasssst.
Well, he'd be riding in yamaha at the next race
It’s hard to beat a Yamaha
he should be on 450
Is it just Me ? Or does the bike look to small for him ?? Just looks to Me , that the bike doesn't fit him well at all...
Is the jetting off? It seems to be gurgling.
Bring back 2 strokes! Braaap!!
every 4 stroke has been fuel injected for at least a decade now
it sounds great
Jetting on FI engine? lol
@@Marleysdad808 Yes its called Vortex.
@@Fox250R What size main & pilot? LMFAO...Fuel injection...
Anstie go to 450 already….
Hello!!!
Why is this old guy still riding in the beginners class
Well because it not “just” a beginner’s class” any longer, if someone older is riding well it can be used as a way to get or keep a rider on a team when there isn’t currently room in the premier class.
This is where u go when you cant beat jet.
This guy gunna be racing kids till he's 40 or what? Cmon with these old dude racing 250 already kick um up to a 450
Lmao
@MrIke303 seriously though age shouldn't matter. Should be the best man on the 250 and the best man on a 450 age should not matter

If you think he's fast just think when he had to race Prime Herling's in sand, Anstie didn't stand a chance
Hard to believe that the noise restrictions are not exceeded. AMA needs to crack down.
The star Yamaha bikes were twice as loud as the other bikes in when I saw them in supercross. Except for a couple privateers with blown out mufflers.
He'll never do as well as on the Honda... Stamp it.
Sounds like a cheater yz270 like all the other star bikes. lol. 😝. Jk. Sounds exactly like rung out rental equipment. Those Yamahas are loud.
What a waste of a seat if true.
Do you know who this is?
Indeed I am fully aware of his history. But he will be inconsistent and is viewed maybe with one eye on the WSX. He can win races and in a short run series like WSX figure, but week in week out in normal outdoor or SX will not be in the mix over an extended period. That is his history.

Bike doesn’t sound like a start Yamaha 250.. doesn’t sound a thing like Haiden.
Max is ripping tho
yeah thats not a full factory bike. probably just suspension and stuff to get his measurements
Max hates MX so screaming it in 3 probably blows up in race ! Has a excuses then everyone fast riding on their own! I guess we going to find out if he’s got the minerals! Next weekend
