KX125 Showdown! Carson Brown vs. Adam Cianciarulo

Not going to spoil it for the Vital bros.

Great video! Love these Carson Brown challenges.

Great video!!  Carson Brown is the perfect rider to rep Redbull.  Similarly, Axel Hodges is the perfect rider to rep Monster.  Two completely different riders, but cool in their own way.

oooh just made a post and didnt see this

They both ripped.

That track was Sandberm approved. A fella could rail the outside or cut inside, wide open. No front end push on that track.

I can't get enough of Carson Brown riding vids.

He will go to whatever track they want. That track sets up well for the show concept but it was also the closest track to where AC grew up. We could have gone to Glen Helen, but do you think that would have been as entertaining? 

Yes, we agree... He is the only one doing this type of stuff and we have a blast working with him 

He’s unreal on the bike. And everything I hear from people who work with them is they love him! Win Win. 

Yeah, he comes across as a humble and cool person. 

Sucks they had carb issues. POS two strokes!

Track looked fun, too

It honestly felt like Adam was asking just a little too much out of it and either wasn't clutching or downshifting in a few places that he needed to. He's also heavier than Carson. He definitely needed a little more time to work on the technique.

The 250 challenge will certainly be closer! Love these videos.

Always down for a Carson Brown throw down. Both guys almost crashed hanging it all out and apparently Carson did.

Great Job!

There absolutely is a technique to it you are right! Coming off an FI four stroke you think you can just mash the throttle and get instant power 

I know this type of work is now his full time gig, but Carson is becoming so well rounded with his technique and ability, would be a bit of a bummer to not see him at a few rounds again in the future. Maybe endurance will be his achilles heel, but damn is he riding so well these days. He looks so incredibly comfortable absolutely sending it. 

Also.. that AC case was rough! Thanks goodness PC went through that suspension.. could have been ugly. 

Totally agree. How cool would it be to see him at a few of the Nats in '25

pure 2-stroke 125 music.....

Another not-to-miss CB video.   Thanks for sharing. 

Pretty wild to hear someone like AC say he was scared....

Just goes to show that most racers are supremely talented and it lies between the ears.  If I recall correctly Pastrana once said "I used to fear going to local tracks because privateers you have never heard of would smoke me". He later went on to add that something about pressure brings the best out of him. Awesome video and I love how they put these together and it makes it super fun for the boys.  

That was good. Excited for the 250 rematch! 
 

Also according to the comments on the vid, it’s sounds like we’re getting a Brown Vs. Decotis at The ‘Wick next year!

EDIT: Mx207, not Southwick. I misread it!

Reminds me how old I am when an increasing number of retired pro racers say that they’ve never ridden a 250 two stroke

Haha, I know. I think even Blair looked at him like “WTH, never?”

Ooo dang, that would be a showdown 👍

Will be wicked ahh-some. 

You’d never get Stewart on one of these because he has retired leaving the world wanting more. But just imagine, if you could get a kx125 prepared how his bikes were and see what he still has. 

Yep & he also said he’d lap those same guys at a national & in his helmet he’d be like that guy should be up here with me not a lap down. 

It’s always 15-20 lap mains & 35 min outdoor motos. 1 lap doesn’t get you much. & when it’s 1 on 1 that 2-3 seconds doesn’t look like much but 3 seconds a lap at budds creek qualifying puts you 11th

Love that content, great stuff.

Guys, go watch the Kenny vs Carson Brown series from last year aswell if you didn't yet.

You're right, Kenny beat him on the RM125 if I remember correctly.

"I'm not losing another paying gig to you." 😂

He's got the best content for "fantasy riding" - things I wish I would or could do. Roczen, Cianciarulo, hard enduro, old bikes, new bikes. I really like the attempt at hard enduro - cool to see guys challenge themselves in other disciplines. One of the few items I seem to always like coming across my instagram feed. 

Brown is a f'n Alien. It's only a matter of time before he breaks a bike in half. 

Brown chooses high IQ lines...
