A friend of mine filmed this earlier this summer figured it's worth a good laugh.

"He's pickin up speed!" uhhhh, no he's actually LOSING speed.

"NICE RIDE!" uhhhh, not hardly announcer dude.

Seriously, that announcer is trying a little too hard to be positive.

Heh heh, the only time a 4-stroke wins at our hill climb is in the 4-stroke only classes. Smile The fastest time of the day is usually either by a CR500 or a Kawi triple. You would think someone could have built a competitive four stroke by now. Smile

There's a couple bigbore KTM 4's in MN that haul ass but the weapon of choice is still mainly the CR500.

I watch these on a channel called Mav T.V and they are hilarious. But what is even more enertaining is the AMA reps that sanction these things. Makes you wonder where outdoor mx was headed if mx sports never got involved.

If the 500cc two strokes can find traction they are tough to beat. The 500s usually have the fastest times, at least in Minnesota/Wisconsin where I race.

Here's some 500cc two stroke music for ya:


And here's one of the big bore KTM's you're talking about. It's a KTM 640:
