It's always hard to comprehend as fast as this guy is going that he would likely get smoked badly by J Martin..

I have never taken speed but if I ever took it and watched a GoPro then this my friend is what I imagine what it would be like.

My videos look like they were filmed in slo-mo.

Wasn't Blake Green like a prodigy about 3 years ago? He went to Mini O's on a team green ride and beat most evyone on 80's and superminis then disappeared??...

That and how much of a highway that track was compared to race day at a national. Still impressive though!

If my go pro filmed (in a digital age, why do we still "film" video?) that choppy, I'd take it back or ask for the real time version.

Knowing how gnarly glen helen can and does get with braking bumps and acceleration bumps, my wrists are falling off watching this.

The GoPro is either not tight in the casing and bouncing inside (I usually pack a lil piece of a paper towel or something to seal it tighter in the case) or the mount isn't glued down to the helmet very well.

He would have lapped me in time that was "filmed" here.

And what place would he finish in a National?

Thing is I am slow as hell.

Thats him. The kid was a little rocket on minis and I guess he is on big bikes to.

He's had a ton of injuries since then. He was on Team Green up until this year, but the lack of racing the past few seasons due to injury may have cost him his spot, if I had to take a guess.

Not only an Martin but he'd probly get beaten by 15 to 20 other US national pros and 10 to 15 euros if they were to show up.

Not taking anything away from this kid because he's unbelievable but it just puts it into perspective when they go pro and struggle to score points.

I see my fast local mates smoke me at club days and I think they're unbelievable, they then get crushed at state titles, state champions get smoked at the nationals by mossy who then heads to the states and doesn't make main events, really puts my skills into perspective.

Blake has always been fast, but haven't heard much of him past few years. I had some battles with him at Glen Helen before on 85s, granted I was 15 and he was 11, it still counts, right? Unsure Whistling

The track itself is ridiculously fast. But he is hauling, fair play

I find it weird that it's a race & the track isn't marked out? No tape / markers / fencing, Is that normal in USA?

I shot a video on my gopro while it was mounted with a clamp to a large piece of machinery that was vibrating. I sped up the film to make a time lapse, but I had to find the sweet spot in terms of just how much I could speed up playback without distortion from the vibrations. If I had the video playing back too quickly, this is what it looked like, especially the couple of times where it almost looks like the image is rippled or wavy. This is a fake, sped up video!




Just kidding, dude is fast. Wow

He has some serious confidence in his bike's handling to charge down those hills WFO like that.
