Just saw this on YouTube, came straight here haha 😂

Awesome video, good to see Kenny having fun and on a two stroke (even if it's a little 'un) and always good to see Carson Brown ride anything.

Also a reminder how badly I'll miss DB next year throughout Supercross... Such a dude.

Not sure how it would work with some of the drink and current bike sponsorships, but I'd like to see him go up against the following: Reed on 04 Yz250's, Cianciarulo on Kx supermini's, Stewart on 04 Kx125's, Pastrana on a 2000 RM125, and Emig on some late 90's Kx250's. All these guys have prior 2 stroke success in those respective eras.

Did they have 2-RM85's? That bike needed a piston after Kenny was done with it

That was fun. Thought CB had him for sure tbh. Funny to see how even riding an 85 kens riding style translates to speed even though he doesn't look faster.

Goes to show, even on an 85 riding in the meat of the power is always faster than revving to the moon. Looking forward to the 125 vid.

That was really cool. I wish adult classes on 85s were a thing.

I'd like to see a challenge between a top rider (Ken?) and Carson at CB's backyard track.Laughing

I would think going first before the track got deeper would be an advantage especially on a small wheel bike but their lap times did improve as they rode more laps so maybe not. Think Carson tried too hard if he would’ve smoothed out (and greased the wall) he would’ve had a faster lap

While watching Ken's laps, I said out loud "I'd huck that wall to beat Kenny for sure!"
While watching Carson's laps, I said out loud "Oooh, I'd have regretted sending that wall for sure!"

This was the best off-season video I've seen in a long long time.

Didn’t Ken’s original bike have twin radiators? Super trick apparently.

Thanks for all the excitement for the series. Carson is really the only guy who can weave in and out of different bikes with different riders because he is brand agnostic, which makes it fun. As you saw we have another Roczen episode on deck on 125's as well as another battle with one of the fastest supermini riders in the world with a 70lb weight difference between the two riders. Looking forward to putting out some more episodes and getting riders to to join us in riding odd bikes you don't normally see them on.

That was one of the best videos of the year so far, had me smiling all the way. Tbh I didn't expect Roczen to win it, shows how talented he really is with such a limited time on the small bike. I remember pro's doing minibike races at Everts & Friends a decade ago. All fun and games, until Herlings broke his leg riding one. Made him miss the world title. 

Cannot wait to see them riding 125's! And damn, those sand rollers through the corner are really fun to watch. Hopefully this series are something we can keep watching in the future

That was great. Awesome to see the riders having fun like that. Get the lawrence brothers head to head enduro on xr 80s/100s...nostalgia kicked in and was looking at mid 80s mini xrs and came across this, not sure what it is, I know my bikes never had that much travel hahbikepics-2308270-full

RE: Herlings breaking his leg goofing around.

I'm surprised it's not in their contracts to keep out of the "silly" stuff. like this.     Don't get me wrong, I love it....but I can see where teams and sponsors are relying on you to be there for the real racing days and wouldn't want you risking injury clowning around.
