I was working right near my local track today and heard some bikes fire up and start riding the track. I told my boss I was going to use the toilets at the club and went to have a look. It was a few pro riders one of which was dean Ferris.
Holy shit I have never seen someone ride a dirt bike so fast in person. I love watching the AMA supercross and motocross series so I know what fast looks like on tv but I haven’t seen many fast riders live here in QLD. Maybe because it was on the same track that I race on but I have a new found massive amount of respect for the. Guys at the top. Absolutely mind blowing and made my day

It's absolutely insane how fast they blow by you on a track. Making defying the laws of physics look easy. Its incredible.
TV does not do it justice at all.
Their speed is so beyond anything a “regular” rider can imagine
Holy shit balls he was flying ... my son said gee dad it looks wayy faster then TV ,even my misus who hates moto came and watched him and left super impressed and said she would go watch a round of the mx nationals or SX
And the ones that have never ridden Just don't care at all.
I Had a 12 year old boy at my house during the last race ST Louis. Wife's sister's kid. That's never ridden. Perfect example. But if you doubt it. Try it for yourself
Here is what I saw when I looked his way.
Shortly after the 450 main gate drop.
And it's not just him either. I've seen lots of others male and female walk through room with it on and keep walking right through to the next room.

Even we slow guys take a beating at the track, but the pros are just a whole different level of speed and physicality.
edit: I have to throw JMB onto my list. You never really realized how damn fast that guy was until he made the rare mistake and crashed. Then you realized that he made the near impossible look relatively easy.
