Hands down the best on board camera I´ve ever seen! It really captures the intensity of racing a 2 stroke!
Check out the pass he makes around 4:30ish!!!
And the guy rode 5 motos on the Sunday!!! Give the man a medal! Woohoo

I can't believe how flat that Vid' made Canada Heights - it has some serious elevation changes.

Stuey is one tough Irish fella. He won the Irish championship a little while back, finnishing the last race with two fractured wrists. One of which he rode with (unknowingly) all season.

That is the MOST annoying intro I think I've ever sat through.

2 that, it was the most intense moto vid I have ever seen. Watch 6:13, I totally feel it when he does that. Damn, it doesn't get any better than that and I was moving my body while watching!

Dude is a damn fast rider.

AWSOME!!!

Such a sick vid! I saw it somewhere else, and was feeling like I was the rider. If only I could ride like that!!!

Yeah, I know what you mean. It should come with a warning for those susceptible to epileptic seizures. However, if you survive the intro...

Great video. Loved the outside line he took at 5:25...

... God I miss that sound. At least my waverunner is a 2-stroke.

EDIT: That outside line is even better at 6:52, nice pass!

i can't watch too much of these head cameras - I get kind of motion sickness just watching it for a couple of minutes.

Head cams don't do much for me, actually. Although they seem to be all the rage right now.

And Stuey Edmonds is on the Ireland Team again for the MXDN!

Like Pale Blue said he won the Irish Championship couple of years ago by riding the last race with 2 broken wrists! Tough lad for sure.

I think the main view was more of a gut cam

1st......That video was just simply awesome!

2nd......why is the 125cc class pretty much gone over here? We need that class so bad for the up and coming 85cc riders before they strap a leg over a 250F.

3rd....That video brought back so many memories of the old 125cc days for me. It makes me want to go out and pick one up. Still wanting a nice 250 2 stroke though.....

Overall thoughts.....Just LOVE that video. STU.....you da man!

It's like a totally hot chick with ugly clothes, who really cares ones they are off. If that mindset doesn't work, I don't know who should break the news about the fast forward button? Smile

I love my KX250F but vids like this remind me of how much intensity the 4 strokes have taken away from racing, yes they are quicker, but the intensity on a 2 stroke, and the quick moving and sharp shooting action of a 2 stroke race cannot be denied.

I've had many bikes over the years. And at the sweet age of 41 I am back on a 125 and loving it!Grinning

Keep the 450 for racing and buy a 125 for fun riding days.

i recommend having a ride on a ktm 200 2 stroke, the fun of a 125, with the power to pull something heavier than a 14 year old kid! Braap.

I hear ya! Damn, I need to try a 250 smoker before I decide, I remember how the 125 felt, but not the 250s...

Possible but probably not. He won 2 out of the 3 125 moto's and the guy who beat him in the one, was no. 24 -who I think I saw in white and blue riding gear. Not the black outfit I think you're refering to.

No, theres a guy in green that just comes in on the right at the finish line while he's pulling a tearing and idling through.
