Well done. ARay is fun to watch ride on something like that; on the pegs, rev to the moon, just wicking it.

My guess was: matthes 7-8 seconds from Keefer, and Keefer 3-4 from Aray. Wasn't far off

If Matthes was only 7-8 seconds off Keefa then no wonder he didn't qualify for a national #toosoon?

If they would have just came another hour south to Gopher Gulch MX in Kingman it would have been off the hook.
Oh well it's a flat track Moto world these days.

Let's add and some bumps and ruts and reshoot this program. My mom could hang with Keefer on that track!

He was over ten seconds off Keefer right ?? On a track with short lap times that’s a big ass gap !!!

Exactly, and it looked like a super easy track, prepped to perfection

To you guys saying the track needs bumps and ruts and it’s prepped to perfection .... it’s the high desert of AZ between Kingman and the Hoover dam, it’s decomposed granite over a hard base and will never be like washougal or red bud.... but they do a good job and provide a great track for those of us in Las Vegas and Kingman with limited riding options other than a 4 hour drive to SoCal or Phoenix.

And you’re a lowlife. He’s lost more weight than you probably would and he’s at least riding.

That was cool, video was great, track looked fun too. No one could ever accuse A-Ray of not trying haha.

Obviously the track is smooth and short, which probably didn't help Keefer or A-Ray, you'd imagine it'd be better for them the rougher and longer it was but that's not the point I guess. The bet was always at Western.

12 seconds on a 1:20 laptime is an eternity really – be interesting to see them do it again at Glen Helen or something rough/long and see if Matthes can stay within the same 10%.

I did the same thing, but more 170 to 280'ish to 185 and I would never make that comment about someone. It's especially disturbing coming from someone who claims to have been there and knows the struggle.

I was going to say this is some inside joke, but no, you were just being a dick.

That's an easy section to get wrong when you're big man haha.

I found when I grew, anything that involves fore/aft weight distribution and balance, like waves and angles in that section etc, where traction is moving depending on bike/body position, it's all worse and gets worse again when you're tall and/or heavy! He looked like a pro!

Edit. Big unit – who's seen the jurassic park meme?

That was awesome! All 3 of those guys were looking good. It's insane how badass ARay is on a bike and still struggles to make mains, just shows how fast those guys are! I remember seeing one of the fastest local guys in my area try to qualify for a national this year, an absolute ripper. He was 14 seconds off of Tomac's qualifying heater....

These guys are all so awesome and it's cool to see them just having a good time on a bike!

That was pretty cool! Hopefully they decide to do more of these.

ARay was sending it!!! Flat landing all the jumps and almost never let off. Crazy the gap between him and the top guys.

Matthes was awesome to watch. I'd like to see more riding videos of him. Smooth and not revving the bike to the moon.
