Antique Twistin' ft. Jarryd McNeil - vurbmoto 

A prepped track, beautiful weather, premix, cooling fins, drum brakes, and a seat like a loaf of bread. Good times ahead.

Finally a young rider not afraid to man handle a vintage bike - awesome riding

Many comments seem to state that nobody rode a bike this fast in the 70's. They did. Faster too. This guy rides well. He may have been competitive.

Air cooled 2 strokes make the most beautiful sound of them all...

That thing's got a pogo stick for a back shock a sofa for a seat and Flintstone brakes and he still kicks ass on it !!

coming from an old guy like myself, that was freakin awsome! Who needs 10,000 $ new bikes, not that kid.

Love the old 2~stroke Yamaha YZ250. Memories of Indian Dunes. Sounds like a fresh top end!

Wow 😲 can't say much else. Absolutely amazing riding on that bike 😍😍😍

Just shows how a great rider on a good old air-cooled bike can still haul the mail and have a blast. Great footage!

Fecking crazy with a late 70's yz. He's like "What? Simple!".

Shit now I can't blame my bike for my bad riding😩

I want more!!!

So awesome!! A true thing of beauty, this film.... I cannot imagine how any of us would have reacted to see someone ride like this back in the day, doing whips like that🤯🤯🤯🤯. We would have shit ourselves!!! It would be great to see more videos of old bikes being ridden by modern pros👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I grew up in the late 70s. this shows me what all the bikes I dreamed of can do.....AWSOME! vintage is a state of mind, ….not an age measurable.

This is the proof: No matter what model year your bike is, it's not the bike, it's the rider that makes the difference.

My entire group would love to ride an antique like that :)

1979 YZ 250 It goes like a rocket, Great riding skills .

Soooo sick! More of these please!!

That was the coolest thing i've ever seen!

Bravo pour cette démonstration avec cette yz hurricane 👍🙏

Sweet music!😃😃😃

I bet it turns easier than the tall bikes today. The YZ250 2-stroke today is insanely tall. I lowered mine 1.75" total, (1" seat, .75 suspenders), to match what i rode in the 80's/90's,-corners so much better.

That was soooo sick!

The greatest riding clip of all time

This made me happy!

wow this is great

Just amazing guys! Such a cool style of shooting!

That was awesome

The old girl still has it!

I stand corrected. Sounds great. More!!!!!

That just made my day!!!

Damn I want an up close picture of that whip on that thing

I want more like this

I’m so old I remember when that bike was state of the art

He is treating that thing like a modern bike. Very good rider.

My next restoration project a 79 250F is out there waiting to be finished so it can put me into the hospital......

mcneil is now officially my hero

Imagine this style of riding in 79’ Dang!

That's probably as sideways as a vintage bike has ever been

that sound omg :))

more more more more!!!!!

I just came back from a vintage race. The fastest guy there was on a literal barn-find 1975 Maico 250. The thing had blown shocks, half the seat foam missing, horrifically toast rear wheel bearing, 40psi in the rear, a flat front tire, bare uninsulated ignition wires hanging down, pipe not fixed to the cylinder by any means other than the REAR pipe mount, and a chain that 2 hours before had been so rusted that it would stand up on its own (he doused it in WD-40 for the race). The dude got huge air time and left the entire field for dead by half a lap, which included some 90s Revo-2 class bikes. I think it's fair to say he had the single worst bike there that day. A Maico is an excellent machine, but his was completely toast after sitting in a shed for 40 years. Dude inherited it, put on some tires, soaked the chain in WD and went racing. Absolute madlad. The rider is everything.

Awesome!

So glad my riding career started in the early 90s..did you see that thing dancing threw the corners! Lol looked like a crackhead in a break dancing contest. You were the man to be any kind of good rider back then.

The best days of yz motocross 2stroke air cooled nothing beats these reliable yamaha,s wish they still produced in the factory i would buy a couple they are fun to ride just motocross old school style nothing beats a yz

That's why l like yamahas there Where some of the best bikes made back in the day....

I have this bike in my garage. The rebuild starts today

Super!

awesome

Its not antique if I remember drooling over one on the showroom floor when they were brand new !

best vid to exsist

I just bought a 1977 YZ400 😁

Cool!

Proper Action!

I had a 78' YZ 250 brand new, Hayward Yamaha cost $1299 out the door. I rode that to death, 2 pistons later the bike was worn out. The best most reliable bike I ever had.

Looks like a crazy track, can vurbmoto do a GoPro/helmet cam of the track

Seat tank mounts my 79 needs. Gotta hook coil up front brake clutch cable airbox and element

So fuck'in fast on this ol' beauty! #2smoke

Just beautiful, and the next years model was a quantum leap forward - Yamaha swept all classes in B-O-Y in 1980. My 1980YZ125G slayed waterpumpers for years in the straights. It was under 190lbs dry weight.

👍WOW!

Rides the old school bike as it was meant to be ridden! Cool to see.

Dude this was awesome! It's clear to see you guys have a plethora of styles and that's really great! What fps are you guys shooting in?

Wow. This guy rides a 79 better than i ride my 2019

ooooooooh yeah

I got 2 1977 yz250

So cool to a classic be ridden at that level instead of some squid poppin down the street. New bike? Nah, 80% rider 20% bike anyway. Sounds like the day it rolled off the line.

Wow!!!!!!!!!

I watched it, Twice.

The damp and rebound is the fail

What station is this? Cuz I hear music!

funnest bike he will ever ride!!

Nice. .

Pololo ce song !!! *_*

Braaaaaaaaaap!

I have an 81 yz250 thing is like Riding a rock. This guy throws it around like a new 125. You know how to ride bro.

What a sound o_o I wonder how much hp that thing makes?

And that, folks, is why the average guy doesn’t need to worry about what the shootouts say, or need a modern bike at all haha.

I see this man at Unadilla Mx Rewind I’m loading my bike up and driving the 5 hours back home😂

That's what I'm talking about. :-)

I didn't know old bikes could do that it is definitely the writer why buy a new one I just need to get better.

Damn it. Now there's nut everywhere.

Where is that track?

I had 2 of those one to ride and one for parts, bad ass is all I can say

I remember the Yamahop well. Put YZ suspension on my 1978 IT175. It was a much better bike than the one that followed (1980 IT175) IMO. Motor sucked on the 80 model but suspension/chassis was probably better. Still did the hop though.

im 5 foot 4 can i fit on a crf 250 for stroke

If a dirt bike and tracks got as easy to ride as plopping your butt in a Lazy Boy Recliner Chair, will everybody be bragging about how much talent they have? :)

So typical of this generation of youtubers. This video is perfect with no annoying background music that is so fking loud, you cant hear the engine. And ofc the fking camera changes all the time. This is simple, clean, best quality video of a dirt bike. And it got only 1tn likes???? Piss off youtube, fking hypocrites.

Must of had a ton of suspension work , but yea nice ride

I think , that bike has never been whipped before like this....wow

Damn! When was the last time you heard brake chatter? I'll bet a lot of you have never heard it. lol

LET BROC BY

where is that track

im 14 and i have the same bike

When I was 17 I thought if I could just get that bike I could be a rich man. Little more complicated...

6 speed? Hp?

Hanah never rode it like that

them old ones just sound so.. so fuckin mean

who is that? He is effing ripping on that 79 Yz

Bob Hanah never rode it like that

How the riding style has changed, Hannah, Bailey, Omara were all styling back then but not even close to this kid, use to a bike was ridden upright now its ridden horizontal
