Can anyone confirm, Zacho runs a noticeably narrower bar cut than most? I've looked at it a few times and convinced myself that he runs the narrowest and maybe lowest bars in AMA.

Ken don’t budge for anyone, I liked it when he looked back at Barcia like “you dumb girl, is that all you got”

Actually, it's sort of a bar/grip combo. Smaller O.D. ends like they do with their Micro kids bars.

187lbs? Looks heavier than that, especially with how tall he is. Not that it really matters, I was just wondering.

Looks to me like they’re getting sand figured out just fine.

I'm no sand expert but JA is loosing major momentum trying to hammer and square berms. It looks cool but momentum is key and he is fish tailing all over the place. Anyone watching the fast Euro sand riders will notice they carry serious momentum, don't stick their legs out in turns too often and find small grooves to rail around corners with their feet on the pegs. You can't ride sand like you do dirt. I hope Zach is providing some helpful info. Becoming a sand expert takes time and that's not something we have a lot of. Just an observation...still super impressed with this teams attitude and effort

Well after some time on a sand track with Herlings, they're gonna have a better idea where they are speed-wise. Being on the track with someone faster than they are is gonna help them a lot more than riding with one another or those 250 guys. They have egos and don't want to look like squids, so they'll be on the gas and pushing themselves extra hard. It will be interesting to see how they look compared to Herlings.

If you observe closely in this latest video, you can see that Anderson is doing those things very well in the clips that were taken from that day of riding. The video is a combination of clips from each day of riding they have put in. In the clips from the most recent practice, Anderson is standing more and feet are on the pegs except for sharp, 180 degree turns where even the top sand riders will sit and take a foot off the peg briefly. Everything you're saying is correct as far as sand technique and what Anderson was doing early on, but in the latest riding clips he is clearly riding sand a lot better and with much better/proper technique. In those latest clips he's flowing and hauling major ass, and I think he's gonna be pretty friggin good at Assen. Not "Herlings" good, but....He's covering ground in a hurry in the latest clips. Or at least it looks like it to me.

Yes, and throttle, which from what Dave Feeney said made it too expensive for the anticipated number of sales. That’s a paraphrase, not a quote, but it was something to that effect. I wanted a set of those for a couple years.

Instead of being a dick you could comment on the content. I am impressed with Justin Cooper from what I saw in the video...full momentum and feet on the pegs. Perhaps some of our Euro friends could comment on the fastest way to ride the deep sand

bikes are looking better in the sand. slower shock speed, and maybe a little softer. way better than the first vid already.

While I agree with what you said with such short time I am thinking that he needs to focus on what works for him. I think the time to work on technique is when time is on your side and one can do it enough to make it translate to the stopwatch.

Best vid yet, especially with the Nas track over the riding.
100%!!
I'm not one to say that song choice can break an edit but it can definitely make an edit, and I've watched that last bit 3 times already..

I'm assuming it's Tom that chooses the songs.. Remember the Stank dog series? Every vid had it's own unique cool vibe thanks to the song choice

Sorry just getting tired of vitards giving riding/track advice when that actually have no clue, they’re not there and to expect everyone to ride exactly the same is out of they’re minds....again you said you’re not an expert but then you start to criticize how an expert rides...and you’re not even British....how about we all enjoy what these guys are doing and how they’re doing it and allowing us to see the prep they’re doing...good luck to the boys and thank you for allowing us in on the process!

With no Canadian team, I feel really good about throwing my support to team USA. The vids show that they are progressing and coming together and I enjoy the different personalities of the team fried group. It is starting to get good!
