Here is one more video leading up to Glen Helen 2008. For those of you who were not fortunate enough to have met Jed, you can get a sense of just how easygoing and generally awesome of a person he was. Classic Jed. http://www.youtube.com/...feature=channel_page Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts. All the best, Ryan Clark

Follow this link to a video that Jason Tublewicz shot about Jed at the Glen Helen National last season. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzD6nCrAa4s Ryan Clark

Jed lived his life to the fullest, on his terms. He was one of the most easygoing, kindhearted people I have ever met. There was nothing Jed wouldn't do to help out, from last minute plane flights to bail us out and drive our truck to literally coaching me down a 6% grade in Gretchen (the name of our new...

Normally I will race a stock bike with some LS Motors’ bits on it: the Showa suspension, Doma pipe and Renthal handlebars. It’s not super trick compared to some of the factory stuff, but if you have a bike that works well and is dialled in for you, it’s possible to get good results that’s what I’ve proven in GP’s...

Thanks to everyone for your posting and contribution to this topic. Jesse and I both stand by the fact that we put every effort into making Clement as comfortable as we could given our lead time and resources. We had just over one week to put this effort together and Jesse, Jim Fiolek, Luke Frye, Scott Gilly (Factory FX), Kevin...

Ha Ha, Figures! Send me those pics from Washougal!

Hey Nerd, I believe to "Spamalot" I would have to write more than my first post. I suppose you are right about two things. . . my plural typo and that you are in fact a nerd.

Well, guys to clear up speculation Clement requested a stock based engine ( as he rides in the GP's) So he had a freshly rebuilt motor with his requested parts, not a clapped out practice bike. And by quite a lot of trouble setting up the bike I think you will find that Clement means building the bike Friday before...

PGM-FI re mapping helps out with this issue.

Engine wise, the earlier CRF's have valve and seat issues... you could update the cylinder head to a 08 or 09 as well as the stock cam out of these years with a CP high compression piston, and a Yoshimura exhaust, I think you would be pretty happy with the Engine performance.

Looks like he had a good bike...

It was a real pleasure to work with Clement DeSalle and provide him a race bike for Washougal. I think his results in practice and the 1st moto were nothing short of amazing. The kid is very humble and driven to succeed. It was not a fluke that he landed on the podium the 1st moto, it was just unfortunate...
