2 Stroke VS 4 Stroke Desert Battle | On Board with Josh Knight Knolls Knockout 2022 

That was an awesome watch! Can’t wait for the riders breakdown video to come out!

Ok now pay attention My name is Larry Pestes and I’m almost bawling my head off. In 1982 I held the #5 plate in the state of Oregon in the 250 cc 1:14:10 desert division I unloaded hard and ended up in a wheelchair T-5 Para. Then recently broke my neck in a car accident and am lying here and found your video. I’VE BEEN RIDING YOUR BIKE FOR OVER AN HOUR!!! Thank you I haven’t been that happy and genuinely excited in forty two years Thank you man One huge problem. Please show the finishes. What a letdown I miss riding pinned on my Husky so badly. The comradry with the other riders will never be replaced. I miss those days dearly. Treasure every moment P.S.Be more careful on those high speed passes. I know all about the mess that ensues

Race conditions were epic that day! Thankyou for sharing Josh. You are definitely quick! Seems like you have your suspension dialed for those fast whoops! You passed my buddy at 1hr and 35 seconds #161 nov. That is Tim the young man with an artificial leg from the knee down. Just want to give him a shout out. Riding with an artificial limb (left leg) gives extra meaning to whoops and shifting on a dirt bike!

First, I am astonished at how fast you are yet there were still a couple guys that passed you. So impressive to watch and got arm pump just from watching. I watched your 10 secrets to getting better at riding and thought it was excellent. You seem like a natural teacher. I got into riding for the first time about 5 years ago at the ripe age of 45. I fortunately have somebody way way better than me who has taught me a ton. Still, there a couple of factors that I believe will limit me from getting competitive fast. First, you talk about the act of processing the terrain ahead of you (90/10), but I find I can't process it fast enough to react in time to dangerous situations. Secondly, I think there is a fear factor that is different for someone like me getting into the sport this late in the game vs someone that came out of the womb and onto a PW50. As a kid/teen, you feel invincible and typically lack the same awareness of your own mortality as an adult does. Therefore, you can push boundaries and train your brain to be comfortable with speed, blind turns/hills, etc. Appreciate you taking the time to share your content and love that you Thank the checkpoint folks. Godspeed...👊

Best desert race video on the youtube.. really shows the speeds you guys are doing

I could watch the opening of this video 100 times it never get boring and see something different each time . Excellent excellent desert racing videos ! Thanks for making them.

Helluva race! Edge of my seat holding my breath as you squared off against that 4-stroke in the beginning! Great stuff! Almost closed my eyes as you launched into that cut at 5:40!

This was really fun to watch! Just did my first ever desert race, the desert 100 in Odessa wa… thought I was fast but man dudes in the desert are different than dudes in the woods. Talk about balls of steel!

That was super impressive and the day couldn’t have been prettier! Perfect blue skies with painted clouds. 53:05 is a scary moment, could have a been a real nasty pile up there.

My heart jumped a bit right at 11:18... That was a good move to avoid the collision.

fantastic race especially at the beginning with lightning accelerations (hhhh) I like to watch all your videos .....from north africa

Wow just wow you and McQuinn are really going at it. This is Tukker and Ben the people you met at the firebirds can’t wait for the vid on Monday🤪🤪😜😋🥳🥳 may 7th 2023 I met you on the 6th

Haulin ass!!! Just bought a 2003 WR450f. I live in Fallon Nevada now and will be doing some desert riding. Freaking epic man. Thanks so much for sharing.

I watched about the first 8 minutes before I took a breath, man that was fast!

SO Ben lapped me on my third lap at the hill you are going over @18:00 and is was super impressive to just watch him jump half way down the thing, and over all the rocks and ledges - really cool experience to watch. Thank you for sharing your videos!

Checkers need to raise their markers!

I am amazed at the conditioning ,off bike training to allow you to anticipate and keep that 300 under you at those speeds ! Super athlete, Amazing

SICK video.... i race GNCC and VA singletrack this is way different. You're SHREDDING

I love watching this Young man ride. I only wish I could do the same thing. Such creative line choices.

Nice ride mate 👌 That bike that got the hole shot was an evil handling mess 😳 Great to see the Sherco pinned out in the desert. Mine is always in the first 3 gears in creeks and gullies. Nice to know that they can be held wide like that 👌

That's the best riding I've ever seen and I'm 60, rode most of my life, man you are at one with that bike, fast and smooth while being courteous, respectful and damn whatever other great words there is in the English language, it was a pleasure to watch, and I was on the edge of my seat riding every bump and corner along the way, so much so my hands hurt and I wore my teeth down a few m/m. Subbed and I'll be watching every race you do. Keep it upright man and keep it singing. Cheers from Aus.

What a rad time m, this race was a blast being able to all switch positions so many times with you and Kade ! Good ride Josh

Best race I ever seen

Hands down the best desert racing on youtube. Beep beep! 🤣🤙

Its awesome to see fast guys ride.

It's my opinion that this is one of the best riders out not just because of his speed he also races clean unlike some of the people that almost knocked them over in races. I'm not a spokesperson for ride with the knights but I do recommend watching their videos for fun for excitement and for seeing what it's like to ride along with a champion.

Love the way you battle the 4 Strokes like a boss🔥🔥 if you put a Honda 2 smoker with vforce reeds and a pro pipe your choice gap them... I think people forgot how fast a the 2 smoker is 💯💯great video you are a Great rider you know you're way around a track that's for sure

This is the best footage I’ve ever watched of an off road battle, just brilliant 👌

Damn this was nuts. I think this was the baddest ass race I have ever witnessed.

Woah..Is right...My pulse is racing just watching this. Just amazing!

I kept waiting for your engine to seize since you were absolutely tapped out for such long stretches of time in many sections but then I remembered that all new two strokes are fuel and oil injected so the fuel/air ratio is perfect all the time. My last two stroke was a 1992 RMX that I raced in the desert many times back in the day. Thank you for the awesome POV video. It’s just like I’m flying through the desert again. Absolutely incredible video!!!

Soooo Gnarly 🤘🏻 Ballz to the BRRRAAP

4:10 that was a nice little hit there

I dont know how they find their lines so fast! I'd be lost in Canada by now, still looking for those pink trail markers...

Damn that a 250f at the beggining, 250f are crazy fast righ now

Straight smashin through the dessert!!! Y’all something else lol! Good content!

Might be the best video I've seen showcasing both engine types.

That made my workout on my indoor trainer fly by!!

Been doing this for 20 years but haven’t seen a course like that it’s epic where is this?

I am going to watch this video everyday until I sell my house and move out west and do this race. Then I could ride like this every weekend

That looks so fun. No limits, and a full throttle.

I am totally blown away that was pure insanity!

Wow you were flying man. Any idea on your speed? I love 2 strikes and I'm glad to see you giving those 4 strikes hell. I know Go Pro videos don't do justice sometimes. I'll film my rides and l then be let down when I watch them. But I'm not a pro and don't want to risk life and limb but that vid was fun to watch. I was like leaning into the turns with you. Pretty close quarters sometimes riding wide open bar to bar with another racer.

Looks sooo fun! Wish we had that type of landscape in Sweden

That was so exciting to watch. You lot were doing some speed. Me i probably of went the wrong way around that track 😅

that was such a badass race. kept it tight with that ktm rider the whole way!!!!

Two stroke rules, four stroke blows

Awesome! I've never riden anywhere where I could just pen it in 5th. Looks like a blast!

Holy SHIT that was awesome.

No dust is nice! I don’t understand how you guys walk around with balls so big

Wow, stunning footage. Action cameras are getting insane.

That was insane

Super sweet course!! Epic race footage man!!!

Sendin it !! What are those rookies doin in this? Not safe, I love those guys but ……

Feels like flying awesome 👍

Wow. Crazy footage. Thats some skilled riding

Race a kx or cr 500

Awesome video!!

So damn fast...right on!

The handling is so awesome🍻🍻😎😎😎

Great rider on an awesome course!

All out on a 2 stroke for this type of race … ouch top end service required!!!

Great video. Very Hi Def and right angle. That sure isn't District 37 desert. We have over used whooped out tracks here in so cal.

pretty big rim bangers out there bad ass ride moto friend

Where is this race at? You only have wester battle? Man you guys are wild asses. I watching on my ps4 so I had to get on pc to say what a ^*$@ing . I'm at 8:49 minutes and blown away. Thanks for the ass kind g video

I wish that I could find a map of this course. I'm heading out to The Knolls this weekend.

Great wild track his bike tracks bigger than all England lol 😊

GOod gravy man, awesome riding by you guys.

I didn’t die that race fun fun stuff

Those 2 dudes on 4 strokes ever get returned by the Aliens? After second lap started they both went around a turn and never saw them again.

Crazy fast. I'd like to see the desert king racing (kx500) in this open desert race.

Great ride.

Another amazing video ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Bloody impressive mate.

Great race man! Super fast conditions!

Awesome riding josh i love the videos, who is the guy with the jacket on he is savage

That was awesome! 🤘🤘🤘

The 4 stroke is way faster, I guess it's because of traction.

Awesome race man, balls out. Swapping positions back & forth with that KTM taking different routes it was like you guys were racing into LaPaz in Baja. Was the KTM a 350 or 450? You make it look fun as hell, thx for sharing.

Epic video man!!!

Instant classic! Hope to see you at the idaho city 100 this year, did you happen to sign up again?

Did you win? Looks like you did. See if you can find a WR500 2 stroke. Those are awesome bikes. It will be heavier than your 300, but maybe not. For sure it will make a ton more power. Great riding!! Great Video. Thx!!

Unreasonable fast!!!!! What external power do you use on your go pro and where do you mount it?

We ride 100% hard enduro due to the terrain on Kauai. These Fakas are crazy!!!! Fun to watch though.

That looks so frigging fun!!! I'm going to do that race. What is your mph average about and how long is the course? I wouldn't care what I finished, I just want to ride that course

Wow what a rush!

Loved watching this..............👍

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Wow what a ride!!!! You and the bike made that look like a freeway! I assume you were 3rd??

Only one like to put.... not fair.

Amazing speed!

It was a fun race I got 13th in my class on my first race in 85novice

Haha I caught my brother simping on your bike

Impressive race.

Back in the day when two strokes ruled I raced an xr600. It was a fast bike. CRs and KXs would get around me but to beat us they'd blow their bike. 2 strokes are faster but 4s get the job done.

Wow! I have only raced in the woods. That looks crazy fun. Is that race marked well? Can a rider new to desert see the markers easy enough?

Benn to the Knolls west Utah dessert but never run my bikes that harsh not on the same level but dam was impressed with your lines💯🔥😃

So good!!

That 4stroke almost sounded like an old airplane.

Josh what kind of gearing you have for that race? I have one coming up and dont want to go too low. Thanks
