Red Bud 06 La Rocco's Leap

[kalbi777]

why is it called larocco's leap actually ?

[br745]

@kalbi777 Because Mike La Rocco was the first one to jump the original jump on a 125

[LucMx23]

0:34 first i thought the guy on the left is holding a ps3 controller! :D

[hbdecree13]

85 not the F@ck

[murchlk]

I was there for this, ricky beat everyone on the track including james by almost 7 minutes



[MxRider721]

Stewart did it on a 125. Fucking beast.

[Bimmermpower4]

@MxRider721 yea that is a beastly jump for a 125 but could be done with mad skill and speed.

[civilengsi]

@MxRider721 So did Jeff Emig and Doug Henry.

[drboss731]

i wish my bike sounded like that

[piedawg12]

i live in buchanan. this is my local track. envy me.

[iluvmx1977]

that jump is awesome!!! want to hit it so bad but live in oz :(. no public tracks with jumps that big here.

[squantotheboywonder]

@iluvmx1977 i want to hit it so bad too. i live a few hours from it but that jump is sooo scarey haha

[iluvmx1977]

@squantotheboywonder yeah it looks like you have to carry maximum speed out of that corner and hit it absolutely flat out to clear it. too much wheelspin, a small erroer in shifting gear or even a banana peel on the track could send you to your early grave or wheelchair, it looks very big and needs absolute commitment to clear the gap. the rush these guys would get would be awesome.

[squantotheboywonder]

@iluvmx1977 oh man the rucs has got to be so crazy. like having sex for the first time lol. maybe even better haha. yeah you have to fly aroud the corner but i mean its a pretty mellow corner if you ask me. check out one of the helmet cam vids to see what i mean. type in laroccos leap helmet cam.

[MrJdowns96]

these guys are nuts 

[dontdriveforfree]

ha hahaahahahaha hear the guy....Bubbaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!­!!! lol crazy

[mxracermatt91]

whats sick is half that does it hits from inside lines hittin the berm 4th gear wide open catchin one gear half way up then there gone lol

[Enuroracer222]

Pshhh... I could do that... I just need: A 75 mile an hour wind from the back, some of the most bad ass fuel there is on the market, and some god damn balls! lol

[TurboBurban2]

@chilipeper hey dumbass it's a triple not a double... I live and hour away

[WillSinnProductions]

CArmichael's whip of loRocco's leap was the best whip i've ever seen him do!

[FinalQUEST990]

Ive done this jump once and it was sketch to say the least. Such a bad ass track. If I didnt have a factory serviced KTM and hit my line perfect I wouldnt have been close. 5th gear pinned on a 250f.

[Lindgren119]

Who's the first one? RC?

[chilipepperslooney]

holy shit thats a big double!! i dont think we have anything that big here in england, just as well really as i think my first attempt would likely see me coming up short and putting an end to my mx career!

[303HondaRider]

Dude laroccos leap isn't that hard it just takes balls i do it and im only 15 but i do it on a 450

[mudd450]

(303HondaRider) Lets see a vid of u doin it.

[hondacr125racer]

@303HondaRider bullshit!!!!

[metalmulishaskaters]

red bud is awesome too bad ricky quit and left to nascar

[mxkid49]

thats gotta easily be atleast 120ft?

[cody7445]

@mxkid49 try 150 :) 120 isn't that hard. but this is a huge step up, so idk lol

[wilsonrd2009]

how far away do u think u gotta hit that on a 85, lol probably if ur at the minitrack

[cademcnown25]

you cant do anything even close to that scale on a little 85 buddy

[dougie730]

yea u could if you had a longer run up. im talkn like double or more but you could defenetly hit it on an 85

[cademcnown25]

LOL. YEAH. sure ya could rookie

[Dylans503]

only the vary best can hit it on 250f's

[dougie730]

so then i guess my buddy is one of the very best who isnt even pro and he can hit it so..

[Dylans503]

guess so, because in the fucking nationals only half the riders in the lites series hit it. pastrana was teh first to hit it with a 125 and that was in 2000, so your tellin me your friend is as fast and ballzy as travis pastrana?

[dougie730]

well he races all the amateur national races so he must be pretty fuckin fasst..

[mx4life320]

I thought Mike Larocco was the first to hit it on a 125.... Thats why its called Laroccos leap!

[f2496]

only about 10 guys in the 250 class are hitting this.. the pros carry more speed coming out of the corners than any 85 could go even with a longer run up. 85 NO WAY even with a run up forever lol.

[xxbryan715xx]

@f2496 izzi did this on an 85 when it was 115 feet now it is 130. and the run up was about 30 yards longer. they changed it so almost no amature riders would hit it because a case on it could destroy you and your bike. it was done in 05 i think but i did see it in person.

ps. the jump face was also not as steep as it is in 2011

[bonspeeds]

nope you cant

[dougie730]

whatever.. r u an expert larocco's leap guy then? there probably doin like what 50-60 mph all u need is a run up to get that speed.. and a huge seat bounce the smaller bike is lighter.. anything is possibly..

[bonspeeds]

ya but an 85 would lose so much speed on that uphill

[dougie730]

thats y you would have to seat bounce it like the pro's are already doin a little

[bonspeeds]

You seat bounce for height not for distance. If anything on an 80 you would have to j-hop the thing lol

[dougie730]

you gotta get height to which will ad some distance to.. wtf is a j-hop?

[bonspeeds]

basically preload the hell out of it and then pull really hard on the front end and purposely go nose gigh, then at the last minute tap the back brake to level out.

[dougie730]

yeah seat bouncing..

[bonspeeds]

No seat bouncing you are sitting down, "j-hop" you are standing.

[SkeeboDa1]

It's right after I-hop.. you want some syrup with your pancakes?

[DuneRidr]

no chance on an 85. you might be able to hit the small double if your like eli tomac or someone of that calibur that knows how to jump.

[tylerscottn1]

Yeah no 85 would ever try it. i live in MI and race Red Bud a lot the double is like 50 feet

[keith7c]

gotta love ricky

[mikefity4]

bubba in his mind.......oh yea ill just pull a tear off no prob.

[zachfarmer44]

Hey "shan fleming" I think your full of shit!

[brewtonsucks]

dude i could hit that triple with a trycycle im the best motocross rider there is my name is shan fleming

[GUNTHECRF450R]

haha bro

[diderr01]

how fast would you have to hit that to clear?

[57vgh]

fuckin fast

[tylerscottn1]

I hit it 4th on my 450 last year

[FinalQUEST990]

Ive tried it and that thing is almost impossible to make. I dont get close to clearing it.

[drail150]

does anyone know how many feet this actully is?

[nickmx570]

130-150

i have heard in between

[tylerscottn1]

140 i think?

[JOHNNYGIX]

Snap, you better pray you get traction on that uphill. Commit or DIE!!!

[davidnizzari]

ya no doubt. I think it was last year Dungey was hitting on his 250. just barely squeezing by

[JOHNNYGIX]

he's the man

[dalboy06]

mallory park triples bigger serch that dudes

[MotocrossRacer4]

id shit myself if i had to do it? i forget do the lites riders do that cause i remember alessi really screwed up his bike the one year doin that

[ridemx73]

165 on pro day but you have to hit a huge hill which you almost need a factory bike for

[Alexmx126]

Its 125ft

[nick123456789000]

how big is that jump anyway?

looks like fun! :]

[jackavery123123]

i love larracos

[Vy10n1s]

yea i live 3 minutes from that track

[orenkieth]

I'm about 15 minutes away from there

[miamificus]

i have been at the corner of laracos leap for 9 yearsright before it so they turn next to us and go up it go there and ask for my youtube name and youll find me

[xsvfrontman690]

[Jon86432]

[flangmasterj]

[RCROCKS4]

[maverickairforceone]

[therockeronner]

[marek0086]

[kawasaki424]

Yeah blaine good luck w/ clearin larocco's leap

[yamaman488]

i was standing right next to whoever taped this. that was a pretty sweet race, but i miss the races when it was all two strokes out there.

[deegan463]

me too man, when i went to the vancouver SX in at the end of 2004, carmichael, reed, and stewart were all on 2 strokes, and almost everyone else too. i guess the days r truly over. sad...

[CodydaltonWomack]

hahaha ok blaine ok...

[CodydaltonWomack]

i bet u wont! maybe u will or just land right on your FACE!!!

[tos259]

[shanonator]
