Really surprised RV didn't just drop mic... Maybe some of his displeasures were exaggerated. Really cool that he still rides/does interviews/etc.

That video is sick! Flat Track Racing is some of the most fun I have had on a motorcycle, you can get really really close to other riders and it still be safe(ish).

Big bikes are gnarly to just jump on and try, but if anyone wants to get a feel for it with a less intimidating bike, check this place out...

If you wanna ride with the Tornado you better bring your checkbook. No better thing than riding with Colin Edwards though.

I grew up racing with Colin in MX, until he quit and took up RR. Super cool family!

ya, as the story goes...He was at Ponca under the factory rig, literally mid-week and told his dad "I dont think I wanna do this anymore."

I believe he won his first road race championship 2 years later...

Actually if you do the racer camp its well worth it. The racing events (Dirt Wars, MadDog Nats) you get to ride and attempt to race with him at the same price as a normal race... I have had some days when I feel solid, until he short shifts and passes me on the outside...guys just a freak of nature, and cool as hell to drink some brews with.

For anyone that doesn't normally do mad dog minis or dirttrack at all the Tornado camp would be a hoot. I have thrown a few down with Colin before, Always a good time.

I have always told my moto guys how fortunate we are for our riding abilities, and the advantages we have over motorcycle riders of other disciplines.

The Boot Camp teaches me something every time I ride out there. If you dont have a pitbike, dont worry they have everything you need. Plus bring your Moto bike and 3 palms is 20 minutes away.

Hey RPM: Who are the instructors at the boot camp now. I know Scherb moved on but was wondering who's left? Joe Prussiano still around? etc...

Was just asking who was left at the boot camp? Wasn't stirring the soup. Didn't realize it was you that I asked.

Actually grew up racing with Scott Scherb, Lil to old to bother with the youngsters anymore but I'll still mix it up in dirttrack.

Thanks RPM. Spent many laps racing against Joe P. and Cory West. Didn't mean to get MOFO all worked up.

Really love the way these guys and Kawasaki are promoting the brand. For a very large portion of the moto community, this is what it's all about. having fun! It's also very cool in that we still get to watch these guys ride like the legends they are, and still try to emulate their style. Kudos.

p,s. would have loved to see some real speed footage without the music also. watching these guys dice and jockey for position in a fun way with your buds is one of the all time best feelings.
