Whoa what I would give to ride a trail like that. Best I could come up with in my area was a trail about 3.5 miles along a rivers edge. No ATV’s back then so it was only single path of 16-24” width. My brother and I would blast fearlessly down that path knowing every inch of the way. So much fun. 63 years old now, but still have the same desire as back then just a little more fragile now. Did Ok riding motocross, but I love riding trails so much more. Thanks for bringing back so many memories. 😎
He is amazing the way he picks his lines and straightens them as much as possible to keep up his speed.Checking on a rider that goes down shows the true champion he is also.Awesome ride brother.
Yes exactly, unbelievable that you asked that. Which isn’t good that all of can’t believe it, and you are probably like “really guys, what’s the big deal” but no one does that, and that is awesome sportsmanship, you gained a fan by that right there
LukeBrinkerhoff if you’re talking about the FPS, he does it so the battery last longer in the gopro. I believe he runs a session but my hero 5 last exactly an hour and a half at 1080p 60FPS. And that’s usually what most people watch TH-cam at. And the stabilization should cover the sickness but no matter what your settings are gopros make it hard to tell the real speed and roughness during races
Locking the GoPro to 30FPS and 1/60th shutter speed while using an ND filter will create the most realistic looking footage. And the battery will last longer.
Kailub, where is the wheelbarrow? I assume youre towing it along? Absolutely amazing ride. Not only do you exhibit exemplary sportsmanship, you remember to wipe the camera lens for us!
Great race between you and Thad and, oh yeah, you won. Amazing how fast you guys can make the best line selections so fast; must be able to slow things down with your mind. Was that Ricky who crashed in front of you?
Damn man, I ride a Yamaha and absolutely love it, but it's f@#%ing amazing what KTM has been able to do over the last 10 years or so. Ya gotta respect that regardless of whether you're a Katoom dude or not.
I think what goes underestimated too is the amount of split trail around a single tree. I know it's easy to say just go around it, but sooo many people would end up target fixating on it and clip it or worse...at a fraction of his speed. Takes a lot of solid technique and focus. I would end up in the crowd who maybe not always, but eventually fixated (esp if tired) and clipped one good.
These guys fly for sure, video doesn't give you the sense of speed. This course is awesome, LOVE woods riding. His bike looks so heavy and unwieldy around corners, makes me wander if they would be faster if bikes were a tad smaller and a lot lighter i.e. purpose built woods bikes. I know KR went back and forth between the 250 xc-f and the 350xc-f and he seems to prefer the 350. I'm not fast by any means but I enjoy smaller bikes and getting in the tight and technical stuff. Oh, well, forgive my dreaming for a minute. If anyone thinks these are purpose built for woods, LOL, save your breath.
A lot of all the talk here has not mentioned placement of the camera..On top of the helmet is the worst placement for realism..The perspective is completely skewed mounted high on top..Under the visor will get you closest to proper depth and speed as its what we perceive at eye level..Even chin mounts are more realistic.
Michael Steven it's been covered bud. Mounting it under the visor isn't going to show less/or more speed. I tried it under the visor, never got the right angle and had trouble finding the lens to wipe the camera.
William Barrett considering the race course is almost maxed out on Sunday's with riders, it can't handle to many more. I'm glad a little dust is keeping thousands away!
I thought that was nice of you to ask the rider if he was ok, your a great champion!
Jimmy Cone him and Ricky Russell are very good friends of course he’d stop
Man the way you pick your lines is amazing. It's like you can see into the future. I wish I could ride like that just for a day. Awesome
I couldn't go that fast if a tyrannosaurus rex was chasing me.

Your line selection is outstanding. Thanks for sharing the video Kailub.
Thank you for sharing your talent, skill, and effort with us mere mortals! Amazing!!!
That’s awesome you asked him if he was alright. Shows the type of person you are. 👍🏻
My God this looks fun! Just getting back into riding after 10yrs. I'm soo stoked.
How has it been going for you
Respect for slowing down and asking if that guy was ok. You'd think a pro wouldnt give a crap lol.
Yes exactly, unbelievable that you asked that. Which isn’t good that all of can’t believe it, and you are probably like “really guys, what’s the big deal” but no one does that, and that is awesome sportsmanship, you gained a fan by that right there
Video doesn't do the speed/terrain justice. 60FPS also makes footage look a lot slower than it actually is.
ZachAtk1 I guess people like it though, so they don't get sick watching. I've heard that multiple times.
LukeBrinkerhoff if you’re talking about the FPS, he does it so the battery last longer in the gopro. I believe he runs a session but my hero 5 last exactly an hour and a half at 1080p 60FPS.

Alex Lugar 60fps will reduce battery life. And that's what he is shooting at.
LukeBrinkerhoff i mean it’ll save more battery then if he ran a higher FPS, they can run up to like 120 I believe.
Love watching him guys. Line choices and such.
Heard that dude hit the tree from your GoPro!! Very respectful you asked him if he was ok though!
Damm, you literally have balls the size of coconuts; the way you were flying through them trees. Respect
we race single track up here (no atv's) - a lot tighter and slower - kudos to you GNCC riders you guys sure are on the gas in those woods
You've been my inspiration since I was 9, keep up the great work!!
Kailub, where is the wheelbarrow? I assume youre towing it along? Absolutely amazing ride. Not only do you exhibit exemplary sportsmanship, you remember to wipe the camera lens for us!

I always enjoy watching ya do your thing on 2 wheels. # 420 4x4 senior
Sick ride bro!! Coming all da way from HAWAI'I. Hats of to you for checking on your opponent..
Aloha!!
So Kailub actually slow down and ask the rider if he is OK? Wow Kailub you are amazing...
I know it has been said .. you are a class act for checking on RR212!
Great vid. Wish we could see the entire race from your perspective.
Awesome video, Good job
Thanks again for the Champagne bottle at the X factor!
Great sportsman you are Kailub👍
Holy shit this guy is fast , riding that hard for that long would be exhausting
Damn man, I ride a Yamaha and absolutely love it, but it's f@#%ing amazing what KTM has been able to do over the last 10 years or so. Ya gotta respect that regardless of whether you're a Katoom dude or not.
So smooth, doesn’t even look like you’re pushing
The "G-Out" Xfactor.. Looked like fun.
Ride along for A lap...... 25 minutes later and I'm smashing the thumbs up
😎👍

Thank you for sharing this with us.
Did you ever find out if the guy was ok. That was a pretty bad tree hit
Good video and good race
Nice riding!
Bring back the go pro for 2019. Thanks 🙏
Gnarly! Any chance we'll see uploads from Steele creek or camp coker?
Nick Plank camp Coker yes Steele Creek no
Kailub Russell why no Steele creek?
What rider was that who went down? Jordan Ashburn?
Kailub Russell, are you running a Hinson Back Torque Limiter Clutch?
AA class? My eyes don't work this good. A casual trail rider here.
Are you riding the 125cc at the national this year?...you'd crush it at mt Morris.
how the heck do you guys get your bikes to start so quickly?!
I SO HATE RIDING/RACING IN THE FREAKING DUST, ID RATHER IT BE POURING RAIN ANYDAY.
leader goes down at 10:06
How To For You he's hell of a rider, so far, so long for him to be reached
How hard is it to go pro in GNCC
Would you ever consider posting an entire race maybe in 3 1 hour segments
Pavestar1 no takes too long to upload and I only use the session so it won't last that long anyways
i enjoy when xc1 guys start lapping the slower riders it shows your skill level been fan gncc for years can you show that footage
I’m gonna miss watchingyou
Are you in the lead
Awesome!! Do you get to practice on the track before?
No you can only walk it, but considering they are usually no less than 10 miles most people don't.
Johhny Rye most people actually eMTB it
That man hit the tree soooo hard at 10:05
Dusty enough?
What the hell was chasing you?
Nice ride man! That guy that hit the tree he okay?
SkinnySkinch You mean ricky

Wow, that fresh section from 13:10 - 14:15 was a mess by the time row 10 got there...
10:08 nice advertising!
250 4 stroke ?
Johan G.Bruère-Dawson 350
thanks for the answer. Cheers from France
250 or 350?
flashdrz 250
Wow! Pretty awesome!
i liked the part where you kinda got on the gas a little
HA!
Sounds like he’s on the 250
matthew dickey he is
What gear do you usually ride in?
I just dont understand how you can go that fast.
You gotta be tired by 12 minutes, thats some choppy terrain.
Throw some water down
Its really strange from a riding a bike. Your up so high.
Four jokes
A lot of all the talk here has not mentioned placement of the camera..On top of the helmet is the worst placement for realism..The perspective is completely skewed mounted high on top..Under the visor will get you closest to proper depth and speed as its what we perceive at eye level..Even chin mounts are more realistic.

Just be happy with what he posts! He doesn't have to post anything if he doesn't want to. We're lucky we get anything from a top level rider like him.
Poop stain right when it gets good
they didn't even water the first part of the track. Super dangerous. that's why thousands of dirt bike riders don't race gncc.
William Barrett considering the race course is almost maxed out on Sunday's with riders, it can't handle to many more. I'm glad a little dust is keeping thousands away!
