Pretty neat how the mechanics can see how their riding rides and how the riders control their bikes. Absolutely amazing.

[angeloghidini]

Man I hit them whoops flat out on my KTM... The air ambulance is surprisingly comfortable when the morphine kicks in.

[Hazer]

I also hit wide open. Different result though lol

[twangoldenbass]

Awesome to hear from a mechanic’s perspective!!

[ZmannR]

Haiden hits that rev limiter before every landing it’s wild

[bradshaw]

Met duff at a bar in Indy last year really cool guy, chatted with me for a bit and didn’t have to at all

[DieselWorkz]

I can’t wait until Deegan is on a 450.

I raced in new england 97 to 2006. After all that i bought a 2020 fc450. Went to our local pit and for some stupid reason i charged into sand dunes like i was bubba stewart. All confidence and let fckin see how it goes. Ive never in my life skimmed whoops, mid amateur when i was young. I somehow skimmed sand dunes that day and rode out a near yardsale catastrophe

[MediocreRacing]

Hitting whoops those size, wide open on a new 450 is insane.

Ask Tomac that’s the improper way because using the clutch is key!

[michaelwallace]

It’s a part of transitioning from supermini to big bike imo

[MikeJanssens-pn]

Wet clutch 6 disks 12 surface plates slip it full revs along time. In my limetted experience.

[jakeowens]

Cc whoops skills will never be seen again bc the new rules 😢

[JakeB_MTB]

Bro knows an engine better than john wick knows a gun.

Guaranteed the riders who push the bikes to the limit have a bloke who can swap the engine before you make a pb&j sandwich.

[kelliebrooks]
