If anyone wants a peek a his speed, here he is blowing by guys in the deep sand. This is from a year ago so I imagine he's even quicker now.

Throw a parts list together and list what you need still and post it on here..

I would like to help out if i can, and im sure there are other guys who are willing to send parts to help out with the build and race.

It would be great to edit the thread title, as many forum members may have missed what is going on here Smile

Good luck !

Okay so here’s another one who completly missed how this thread turned out. This is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen around here. Brent, you’re an absolute legend for making this happen.

Rick’s race Bike is in the garage, tear down to the frame starts tomorrow, I’ll make a vid for those interested in what we do to try and make it competitive for AMA pro MX

We will see how “ ready to race” KTM 250s really are…



Brent.... you might want to check with MX Sports or AMA if that 2022 KTM250SXF is allowed to be used for the national since it is next year's model. Here's a list of the approved bikes from the MX Sports website:

btw... good job in getting this organized in such a short time.

i think if theres a certain amount of those bikes in usa then he should be allowed to race it i think there has to be 200 units or something like that

Awesome job Brent!!!

A top 10 is maybe a bit much to ask considering the terrain and the heat. But theoretically he should be quite a bit faster than Swiss Xylian Ramella who has already scored 8 points this season with a season best of 17th place. I don't think Ramella has managed to score a single point in EMX last year and Elzinga is currently 3rd in points despite a DNF.

+1 to this idea, or start a go fund me for the race effort and a bunch of Vitards will pitch in. Takes a village!

Wow, no words and respect. I'll be following closely qualifying and cheering for him during the motos! How cool it'd be if he does so well that gets offers for a full time ride here.

Edit: this thread has to be Hall of Fame!!!

..Let's wait until the kid actually qualifies and survives the heat at Pala before we start talking HOF.

Until then, it's just me speaking loudly with my wallet...

UPDATE - So, now alll we have to do is get these parts ( and the rider and mechanic) from the other side of the world...




...to Temecula, CA, and put them on this awesome (but stock) bike...



...and hope we can make a competitive 250F to compete against the Factory Yamaha's and built out privateer bikes.

No problem Right? Tongue

What the hell did we get ourselves into here?

Rick is bringing his KTM Powersports split clamps. I really dig his carbon fork protectors in the picture, I will get some up close photos when they are installed on the bike

If you need an HGS exhaust system, I know someone who is selling their full system. I think it has approximately 8-10 (maybe less) hrs on the pipe. I can get you in touch with them..... DM me if interested.

sure that would be great, we are set with our canopy from AEO, but we need table covers and a back wall with Ricks name and number on it.

Can you hit my e mail? itzbrent@hotmail.com
