this song is used more than ur mom!

[Gcorme]

In Soviet Russia Dirt bikes ride you!

[TheMotoBros]

I think that that as great racing, i just hate that song! it is so annoying and all the guy is doing in the song is screaming!!!(I think, no offence to the people who like the song)

[13031886]

im 5 foot 9" and i was wondering, i aint a pro at racing but i know my stuff, and i was just wondering what bike would be suitable for my size, or the power of a bike for my size

[249HondaRider]

@13031886 Depends,size would probly put you at a 125cc ( 0r a 250 4 stroke) but you could ride a big wheel 150 or 85,just have to stiffen the suspension

[trace12345678900]

nice track

[dbrider797]

cool video

[LeapingZebra504]

@alexwerasd its not only the seat height too depends how long u have been ridin. it could just be to much bike. if its too big for you tho try a 65 2 stroke

[alexwerasd]

im 4 foot7 and i was wondering if this bike was to big for me would it plz answer...

[jeffster11]

@alexwerasd So which is it? 4'7" or 5'7"? I see you asked it both ways. Anyways, your height is only part of the equation. The YZ85 has one the lowest stock seat height of the 85cc bikes. Will you be able to lift it up when it tips over and restart it yourself? Go to a dealership and sit on one and see if your tippy toes can reach. If they reach, it's not too big. But, I've seen very small experienced racers use starting blocks almost a foot tall, so it's not all about your height.

[BrooklynAirsoft007]

@alexwerasd u should get the kx85 i use that and in 4 6 the yz is very high seat

[kickedinthegonads201]

My dad used to own this track. it started out as a place for me and him 2 ride, but a friend told him that he could make money if he went public, and he did call (txt) me 9728329202

[BradyBunch139]

Id say, not bad of a rider for a begginer :)

[gasf231]

:45 lol :P

[fasst0385]

i swear if i hear this freekin song one more time!

[motocross223Tanner]

I'm like him on almost every jump like at :46. Is there anyway to help that?

[jeffster11]

@motocross223Tanner Did you mean the first jump? Are you commenting on him not clearing the double? He just didn't jump that one. This is an older video and today he might be jumping it. The approach is very short and it's hard to get these 2-strokes up to speed in that short space. You gotta hit the corner perfect, be in the right gear for accelleration and "seat bounce" to make sure it's cleared. It may not look like much but it's a tough jump. We've only seen a few 85 riders clear it.

[motocross223Tanner]

@jeffster11 I mean front end high

[bizzatch926]

@motocross223Tanner just go faster man. dump the clutch out of the corner and just go for it

[jeffster11]

This was at Badlands Motocross Park near Celeste Texas. Just google for badlandsmx for more info on the track.

[cwg1998]

can you ride a crf150r in a beginner class

[jeffster11]

@cwg1998 Depends on where you race. Some tracks will allow small wheel 150r's to race in the beginner class and the regular age group brackets. AMA rules only allow the 150r in the supermini class.

[motocross2711]

@jeffster11 where is this



[motocroos4life]

great riding great video great stuff great race = AMAZING RIDER!!!! good job keep it up

[kawikid107]

i bet the kid right next to u crashed at the start when the honda clipped him that sucks hahaha nice race

[kawikid107]

hey just wondering u might respond to me in time but i have a race coming up this friday and are you suppose to have at least numbers on your chestportector and im going to be in this same class but different place

[17150r]

so ethan is on a comletely stock yz85?????/

[jeffster11]

@17150r Well, the bike is not completely stock. But the motor is stock specs still. When we do a top end we use wiseco pistons but it's stock specs. We had to replace the clutch and we didn't use yamaha parts cause they were so expensive. When we had to replace the bottom end (crank) we used a Wiseco kit. Ethan's wrecked at his first race series and bent his handlebars and top triple clamp, so we bought a ProTaper top triple clamp and bars. But the engine is stock power still.

[17150r]

hey if you would reply or if anybody replys it would be greatly appreciated...i want to get v force for my 2003 yz 85 but i dont know how much it will help for low end??do you know if it will help??

[jeffster11]

@17150r Reeds may help but you really need to get an appropriate pipe and get the bike rejetted to benefit. Google is your friend. YZ85's are not known for there bottom end and are made to scream. If bottom end is that important you got the wrong bike. Suzooks and Kawis have a power valve which helps the down low power but at the expense of peak horsepower.

[17150r]

@jeffster11 yea im gunna get them anywayi think ive done research and we just figured out today that the psi in my piston was under 100 so we are going to go get brand new top end and i hope that helps it as welll beacause my bike will not idle and its a pain in the ass to start!thank you for replying!!!17150r

[ethanrocks26]

@17150r i know a kid who has vforce reeds and i have an 03 yz 85 and i think he said the ones he has will work

[riedog77]

what class do u ride in now?

[jeffster11]

@riedog77 Ethan rides in the 85cc 7-11 class and in the supermini class.

[logangilliam17]

[logangilliam17]

[jeffster11]

[JuniorPros118]

[MultiAnthony96]

@JuniorPros118 its beginners class so wont be as fast as intermediate 85cc

[kawitwofiddy]

[998Kawasaki]

Nice riding kid especially for a begginer class rider!! Over all its a nice video!!

[jeffster11]

@998Kawasaki That was Ethan's last race before we started him in the age group brackets.

[maxboyrm85]

heyyyyy can you check out my vid and comment to see what im doing wrong?? PS: nice riding id like to race u one day :D

[TeamyellowRM85]

is racing easy?

[jeffster11]

naw... if it was easy everyone would be doing it. But it is fun and competitive.

[bzhfbz]

racing is easy... winnin or even placing vell is very hard

[villaricakid728]

@TeamyellowRM85 just like bzhfbc sed it is easy, but its hard to win or place sometimes. but its fun as hell

[casnick1]

@TeamyellowRM85 - If you know how to ride, racing is easy. If you are already riding at a track with your mates, throw in a start gate, some close quarter riding, a bit of adrenalin and you're there. It is easy and it is great fun. If you're not having fun – don’t bother racing.

[pinkandbig777]

nice man!! great riding

[Dawgman5500]

sorry i meant to say *good* riding

[Dawgman5500]
