BT was seen around here riding a KTM125 as well,

some 2007 replicas on 125's would be awesome,

Man, that was a sweet video...thanks for the link!

That's it - Time to go get a damn 125.

That vid made me feel good.

I saw the video and I did not like to see how dangerous it is the kids riding with the older ones.

He's likely practicing for the MTA 2-Stroke race at Glen Helen the end of this month.

Typical Pala. Open practice is not split by classes or age groups. I usually slow way down and ride cautiously around little kids or new riders, both for safety reasons and out of respect.

Yeah I had the same thought, if I had a young kid don't think I would want them out with the big bikes. Also wouldn't think RV would want to be riding at the same time they are out there.

The real reason he went to yamaha...
Makes me want to pick up another 125 to go with my 250

Where's Marvin and his 150 when you need him? Watching those two go at it would be awesome.

Still a beast! That 125 sounded nasty!
It'd be bad ass to get him, Dungey, Reed, Ronnie, Canard and maybe a few other past champs in for the Dream races.

WTF is he out there with a kid on a mini bike?

A lot of the pals bros tip around on that beginner track. I’m not sure why when they have two other tracks built for more experienced riders.

Cool video besides the mix of big kids (adults) and little kids. They cut that out in north and central Alabama after a youngster passed away from injuries when a big bike and rider hit him. We do 20 minutes little bikes, 20 minutes big bikes around here.

Yep, that's just stupid. How hard would it be to split juniors - up to 16 years old and seniors - over 16 years old into 2 groups. 20 minutes per session. I get nervous when my kids on 50's are with older kids on 125's and 250f's but at least they aren't going RV's speed

That aside, sick video and now we know why he ditched kawi and went to yami, for the 2 strokes

He’s riding the vet track at Pala. Split practice is nearly unheard of these days in Southern California. I haven’t seen any tracks around here so it in around ten years or so.

Kid on the XR cross jumped too. What a punk!

j/k

The death of a child was enough of a wake up call around here.

So you just go on the track and ride as long as you want whenever you want?

If so thats almost unheard of around here. Only one track does that and pretty much every other track has AB, C, Mini in 20 min increments with lots of B riders in C. In early spring C class will be broken up into C1 and C2 because there are so many C riders.

Yup, pretty much, we just ride. But out here, many of the facilities have multiple tracks for different skill levels.

Also, Pala has two kids tracks on the property that are much calmer and fitting for that bike the kid is on...ummm, parents?

I understand the safety aspect of split practices bjt if youre relegated to one practice group you get to ride for 20mins and sit for 40mins ... I wasnt a fan of this especially when a track is open for 5 hours. Theyre doing this at Club Moto in Livermore...which Saturday was the first time i had been there in 15 years and the track was AWESOME!!!!

The only split practice I ever see is at LACR where they let the kids ride the vet track alone for 20 minutes... And that happens typically twice the entire day. The rest of the time it's 100% open. Main track always open.

Sweet video! A thoroughly satisfying vicarious experience watching RV get that YZ lit up for a few laps.
