My uncle still has one of those old xr 600s! I remember riding with my cousins as a little kid and him trail riding that. That bike has a distinctive bark I’ll never forget

He doesn't have to rev at all, just cruising around. You could do the same thing with a Vintage bike, that track was pretty mild. Great riding no matter what, cool to see something different.

Ivan Tedesco is taking his shirt off too.

It wasn't mild enough to keep me from getting broken spokes and bent chain adjusters from the hard landings.

I’ve watched all of Jacob’s off-Road vids. He’s a great rider. Loves to self promote! 😂
I was speaking to This random guy describing this Florida footage I saw on a GoPro. So as I carry on I Said his last name “Gilliam” in the convo. The guy says “I’m from Florida, I know that guy and his brother!🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
Had some stories about the Gilliam brothers.
Thanks for sharing, great riding as usual.

I hope they were good stories.

The self promotion has paid off. The YouTube dollars have been paying for the racing. Like and sub , and click on the ads!

Cool video! Is it running stock suspension? Also what camera (I'm assuming a virb of some sort) and mounting do you run? It looked like a very realistic perspective with minimal "go pro" effect.

Great riding Jacob, looks fun as hell. Jumps on videos always look smaller. There was some Gilliam racers in Michigan in the 80s/90s.

I recently switched from the Virb ultra 30 to a 7 black because I wanted the hypersmooth. The Garmin camera is superior in every way other than that. They have a smooth setting but it narrows the FOV to achieve it.

I still use the Garmin software to upload because, as is widely known, the GoPro software is bottom of the barrel trash.

My fork springs were replaced with stiffer springs. I'm not sure that anything else was done.

I like racing, but I hate working on bikes. So for suspension I just let my suspension guy take it home and bring it to the next event. I don't ask many questions.

I'm a 2 stroke guy, but there is something so gratifying about the sound of those 600s. Great riding too.

Oh, and I'm not sure how you possibly passed all those guys on a heavier bike with a kickstarter. 🤷‍♂️

As someone who used to own an XR600R... wow. Impressive.

Good job. Now do the same thing on an XL600
If you check my channel and you'll see me doing even more racing on an XR650L.

I remember wanting to ride this bike when I was 13 and they would always tell me, “you can ride it if you can start it”.....well, that didn’t happen until I was 16.

I know this guy too and it really doesnt matter what bike he rides. He did a season riding a different kind of bike every race with no preparation. From 200-600, 2t -4t. He raced a gnarly technical harescramble on a street bike and beat alot of guys.

I used to race an XR600R in Canada and the US in the eighties. Was a great machine: don't remember doing any maintenance Wink

Good smooth riding. I had the XR350 and they turn great. Had the Al Baker progressive springs and it was plush.
