Just proves again that Carson is ”instagram fast”. Lovley kid, but precision beats wfo.

As close as they are in speed on these bikes, I don't think DB's manual stopwatch timing is precise enough to say who is definitely faster. Not that it matters, these videos are a blast anyway. If they do the '83 RM500 (fingers crossed) I think Carson comes out on top.

If they decide to do a 250 video, I’d like to throw this out there…’89/‘90 RM250.

Did Kenny say he raced a 125 only once when he was wrapping up his GP championship? Interesting that he’d step down from the 250 4t in that case.

I'm still shocked that Kenny beat Carson on the 85.

That inside line on the flat corner by Kenny was the difference IMO, beautiful ear music listening to the 125 wide in the sand.

Cairoli was meant to ride a 250 2 but his dad passed so he pulled out of the GP.

It was his Mamma that passed away at that time.

His Papa died in 2014.

Same here, I figure the smaller/odder the bike, the better chance Carson has. I didn't think the 125 would go his way after losing on the 85

If they do a 250 video I'll let them use mine. I have a friend who knows Carson well

I finally watched this, and saw they were talking about going to a 500 next.

A 250 shootout seems more logical, Then the 500.

It would be neat if they do indeed use a RM500 . Or,  at least a RM500 engined AF bike. 

If said videos do appear, one would have to assume they are 'in the can', so to speak, already. A bit of a risk doing them right before / during the SX season. It's this sort of thing that a rider can axe themselves doing, even on a simple track such as that one.

I often wonder if Carson has acquired the Building and Making skills,  as his Dad and Uncle have. I've not seen anything in his numerous  rides, that has him saying he did any building / making himself. Though, I may have missed it. Heck, he may have no interest in doing what his family has done - I've seen it often enough with sons / daughters having no interest in what their family business / craft is.

Whatever he actually does, he's had a never ending supply of Ultra Trick bikes to ride, for his 24(?) years of life. Cripes, that cover showing the Aluminium Framed XR400, was 4 / 5 years before he was born.

If they do the 500 challenge, I really hope it’s like an 83 RM500, drum brakes and all, not an AF conversion. A modern framed bike would take the fun out of it in my opinion.
