Dude's quick and having fun, more power to him.

I appreciate the jokes and it sounds like he does too, but fair play to him for getting out and doing what he loves.

Tbh if Dave says the guy can ride, he can ride.

Cool video, awesome attitude! Good style, good flow, really good rider. Good roll model too. Bigger than the average moto dude yes, but not -that- big. Props to him!

Good for him to get out there and shred.

Dirt looked amazing at that track as well..

Good on him, poor man's traction control.

Reminds me of a Hare Scramble at Honeylake. I'm on my off-road-dialed, 327 KX 2-stroke, on my game, look over to my left and there's a rider w/his KTM 200 and bald rear tire. I made the fatal assumption "I've got this guy covered". He got out on the start and never saw him for 2 plus hours.

The JoJo Keller mystique is alive and well!

I was there that day, the guy is twice as fast as he looks on that video. Jaw dropping stuff.
When he went out with all the pros I genuinely thought he’d gone out in the wrong class, nope!

Looks like my older brothers size. I’d race with him at the vintage races and he had a good 100ibs on me. He never stood up but he could ride fast and he’d consistently beat my skinny ass

If he also smoked a couple cigarettes after the moto, I've been beaten by him before. Laughing

I grew up racing with Ben throughout the 90's.
His sister raced too and they are genuinely a seriously nice Moto family. His sister is still a key member of the local motocross club volunteer committee.

Ben's corner speed is still insane! Early 2000s he was ripping it up in the points of the British 450 MX championship. No doubt I'll be watching him race this Sunday.

Nice fella, good attitude.

I bet he freaking OWNS the first turn! Even Bam Bam might think twice about going in hard on him! Wink

Fast for sure. Cool to see.

The dude rips for sure. I ride with a guy similar in stature and he absolutely just hammers it out of every corner and roosts the livin crap out of me. I could never pin it like he does and think anything positive is going to happen.

HELL to the YEA!!!
I love seeing guys like this Big Dawg doing himself and showing the world that not every kick-ass athlete is built like a jockey!
One of my very best moto buddies of all time is built like a rugged middle linebacker with broad shoulders that go straight to the floor (with a little bit of “table ballast” thrown in too!) BUT he was one HELL of a motocrosser and could flat lay it down, he was well respected and a clean racer but NO ONE messed with him or wanted to lean on him because he could literally elbow guys off the track! When he had to hang up the MX boots following his second thoracic vertebrae fusion (failed discs/unrelated to moto!) he took up cycling and I love hitting the road with him in a group rides, only to see all the rail thin racer boys scoff at my buddy when we roll out, until their scrawny asses are struggling to stay on his wheel! Once he gets rolling and turns the absurd wattage loose that he is capable of producing/sustaining, its like a turbo diesel on race fuel and everyone jumps on his wheel and hang on for the ride!

Kuddos to Ben for not letting the naysayers keep him down! Its awesome to see riders of every size and skill set enjoying this awesome sport of moto!
Keep grabbin’ gears and passin’ queers Big Guy!
Double thumbs up from here in the land of the redneck!
👍😎👍

Big guy here also around 285. It's always funny when people come up to me saying I rip for a big guy.
