Insane ride as 1996 125 Husky passes 41 riders to go from last to second in the Foxhill VMXDN 23 

I've been in and around MX for nearly 50 years now, and I have to say that that was the most incredible ride I've ever seen!!

I’m an old guy watching this from my recliner and the adrenaline has me shaking with excitement. Dang what a ride!

Wow, just Wow!!! I'm 58 years old and have riding dirt bikes since I was 5. This is one of the most badass racing action I've ever seen. This dude is an animal, heck, he even screams out every now and then when he knows he pushed the limit past his bike's ability. Dude was determined for sure. Great video. thanks for posting.

I was one of the other riders held back with Rob (managed only to get up to 24th/25th) ...but I said to Rob before the start "at least you'll get a wicked video and entertain the crowd...and he did just that!!

This is probably the best ride I’ve seen in a long time, this is skill

A truly mind blowing performance indeed! Even by the end I couldn't understand just how he was getting it slowed enough then turned in some of those corners. Incredible!

This is by far the most incredible, massive, outstanding and totally in another level ride and we have a complete POV shared by Rob Holyoake of his amazing performance. Thanks and Long live Rob!

Jeezers, Rob rode like he was on a mission from God! I can't believe how fast he raced AND how cleanly (zero mistakes)! Corners? What corners? Rob rode through them so fast! Incredible race, absolutely incredible!

This video is a great teaching tool for a young rider on how important Corner speed and technique is over every thing on moto.

Never rode anything as fast as i rode my little KX 125! It seems the bigger the bike i bought, the slower i got. Who ever that is, he's one hell of a rider! 👍

Absolutely mega ride and has to be the best rider view I've ever seen as you really get a feel for the sheer speed that Rob is traveling at...

I was EXHAUSTED at the end of just WATCHING that race. That was better than the entire On Any Sunday movie. Rob is a hellacious racer. I was afraid to toggle the GO switch on a friend's Husky 400 back in the '70s. We called it the Trencher after he dug his mom's new sprinkler trenches with it.

Jesus, I'm old. A 125 making that kind of power, not to mention how fast he could stop. That bike and rider were both dialled in beautifully. Thanks for this fantastic video.

Wow great line choice, race craft, and balls of steel...the screaming helped a bit too. What a ride!

classic 125 lines railing outside and crisscrossing the track to keep up momentum. couple passes looked on the knife’s edge of a wipeout. very exciting footage!

Me too, been watching MX since 1975 and still own an XT500! Man, that was in unbelievable display of riding skills! Clean passes every time and incredible overtaking! Wow, I’m blown away!! Buy that man a Bells 🥃💪🇿🇦

Some great riding. Bike clearly had more beans than nearly everyone in the field, and suspension was incredible.

Rob Holyoake, never heard before. Very well done! Love it. The price for used Husqvarna CR125 will raise up today...

Ive raced rob and struggled to keep up with him on a 89 250 when he was on his super evo cr 125! Kid can ride!! So fun to watch too🙌🏼✊🏼✊🏼

When you can ride a 125 at that level their ain't much more fun you can have, let alone have many people that can keep up with you, great video👍

Geez that little bike is quick! Of all the footage I've seen from that weekend, this was by far the best ride.

What's the opposite to PTSD? I've been out of the sport for best part of 10yrs now, but watching videos like this bring me right back into the moment and get the adrenaline flowing as if it was yesterday. I'm at a stage in life that I accept I'm unlikely to race mx again, but watching videos like this make me realise what an absolute privilege and honour it was to of had all them carefree years with my live revolving around the singular aim of racing motocross as hard as I could.

love how we are able to feel the passion when you hear audio of the rider screaming out loud with as if cheering himself on to greatness unexpected #go #pro #audio . . . .

Only rider that rode as fast and as smoothly was Mark Barnett. That was so impressive. Well done!

Yup! I could click like on so many of the comments here! But this was clearly the right combination of being in shape, having the skill in spades, having a Rocky Balboa heart in coming from dead last at the start, and riding a just plain crazy powerful bike! love how he passed at least two riders going up that hill! But of course finding the perfect lines and carrying speed through the turns. Exciting to watch! Thanks! And congrats to Rob Holyoake! Oh... and I loved the Whoops. No, not the ones on the track (there weren't any) the ones Rob was making with his mouth. Ha ha!

What a ride that was! The amount of speed he carried into the turns was just amazing, super smooth riding all around! I'd love to see what he does when given the pole position!

Absolutely Effin mental, Having the time of his life by the sounds of it, Him and the bike both have some beans. Thnx for the vid, just killer.

An inspired ride on a sweet bike. Dayum that thing is fast! His corner speed was the truly insane part...well that on jump where he aired it out repeatedly was wild too.

He just plain ran out of time, not talent, will, determination or equipment. That was one of the best pure Moto videos I’ve ever watched. Nice ride !

He made that little husky look reeaaally good

Truly one of the finest rides I've ever seen! My muscles just do not twitch that FAST. The balance, the fearlessness, the f _ _ _ _ _ g SKILL!

Rob rode amazing all weekend, clearly had fun which is the main thing, but I have to say what he had to do for the start is absolute insanity

Holy muther f_ing badass rider Batman. That dude rips. Seriously - what a great watch, Congratulations on being very good at what you do.

Picture perfect 125 track… rock hard with lots of hard ruts and elevations. Yesh!!

Whoever built that motor, hats off to you, not forgetting the chassis set up allowing the rider to get away with those moves.

Best 125 video I've seen...it's as if I was riding it. The camera position and stability were 5 star, I'd like to see this in VR using an Oculus

Man! I could watch 3 hours of this.

That was a great ride! Rob, for an old Husky rider, you sure showed me your mettle. Well done!👍🏼

Had an 01 or 02 125 Husky and it was of my favorite bikes.

This is how I see myself in my head while riding. But reality.... OMG!!

i started racing 125s in 1970. this brings back great memories. this guy is a beast!

I agree, that was most incredible! Had to watch that pass at 5:40 several times

that line at 5:15 was slick, not to mention airing out that gap at 5:40... sick race bro!

I had a 96 too ..still the fastest 125 I have ever ridden. Used to stuff Cr 250's in the senior class...I practiced with good B rider with a Pro Circuit Honda 125 and it would pull three lengths in three gears uphill every lap.

The bike sounds like a bumble bee in a bottle, and the suspension gave him so confidence, no a single hard or difficult landing, most of the time seems air to ground was transitionless

Going right now to search for 1996 Husquvarna 125! That thing is fast, homie was on the gas! Well done.

His lines to pass all the riders are impressive great ride. Crazy he should be penalised for technicality. Let him start on the line. He is clearly top rider.

Absolutely breathtaking riding! I rode a mid 70s Husqvarna 360 cr for several years.

You were having a Blast, 🎉🎉 Wish MX bikes back in my day were like these modern ones. Fun Run.

Great Ride very nice come back. That how to ride a 125 2-stroke. Much props from Texas.

i was a competitive 125cc rider on an rm125x back in the earlt 1980s, but, i tell you the guys riding today have got some huge kahunas, the jumps these days are absolutely frightening, we never had massive air like todays tracks have, kudos to all the guys who fly over these jumps, and what a ride by by this guy, sensational !!

That ride was next level! When he cut across the ruts mid corner to pass I couldn’t believe it. Had flashbacks of racing my 79 Husky 125. 😎👍

I didn't read who that was riding and though dam Chiodi was riding a Husky again 😆🏆🏆

I had a Maico 400 and a Husky 360 back in the 70s… we were never this fast on a course. I will say with the old 1/4 throttles, they might have as well had a toggle switch for a throttle. 🤣 The suspensions these days and designs are miles better than the bikes we had - awesome to watch 👍

ive been riding dirt bikes since i was 3, im turning 30 this year. i used to race in the triple crowns series, and the Canadian amateur nationals. this was one of the best if not THE BEST race ive ever seen on video. my heart is racing just from watching. this was SOOOOOOO GOOD

good vid sir. I figured it was a pro rider doing a promo event or something. I see that it was a transponder, qualifying mishap. I wouldn't be in this class of riders, he would have lapped me a dozen times. awesome vid and rider.

Absolutely love that dude feels the raw adrenaline enough to shout it out loud! Absolutely ripping! Best pov on the tube hands down!

Absolutely brilliant, loved the sound of a screaming 125.

He took down like 30 in the 1st 2 corners. Sounds like he was having a blast2🤘🤘

Epic balls of steel ride and a perfect demonstration of going full throttle into a wide corner and getting good speed coming out.

Old bike .Big balls, skill and determination. I was absolutely knackered after watching that. What a ride!

That was the most incredible ride/comeback anyone has ever seen!! Way to freakin' go, Rob!!

What a ride, wish all the racing was that good!!! Well done

OOOOO MYGOSH Thanks for the ride brother. Nothing like a 2 stroke 125 in the hands on a professional assassin.

I've never seen anyone ride like that. Makes me wish I was 35 years younger. That kid was good! And his bike sounded good, too.

Quite possibly the raddest 125 ride I have ever seen.

HELL EFFIN YEAH! Love it. Like many of you, brings back memories ... in my case a CR125 and KX250 were in the stable before I defected to the evil 4-strokes (and then had to stop riding due to injuries).

That rider on the husky . Knows his 🎉🎉🎉🎉 stuff. That bike controlled by that rider . Awesome 😎💯👍👍💯😎🎉🎉🎉🎉. Hell yeah love the excitement in both man and machine

Truly impressive. Loving the rider shouting out of pure adrenaline :D

This makes me miss my two strokes, and being young enough to ride them.

THIS performance - by one helluva 125 rider - is why 125cc were LOVED in their day. I hope they come back. (More and more people are sayin that 450cc is just too much for the sportsman rider.)

The rider...the engine...the tires/handling...and, OMG, the suspension is PERFECT!!!

WOW... that was a total clinic....Seemed to pick the right line in every corner... absolutely awesome ride....Wow..

That 125s engine had some serious magic worked on it. Just look at how it out-pulls virtually every other bike up the long hills.

I'll just watch the start ... 11 minutes later, lol! Brilliant ride, nose got scary high a few times though!

That reminded me of a Bob Hannah ride, at Unadilla, when he broke his front brake cable and came from last place to win.

Great racing and impressive result against some gorgeous 125s. Love the sky shot around the 5:40 mark.👊💨

Impressionante allungo 4/5 marcia della huski grande motore e pilota!

That was so awesome, love the sound of the two stoke and that pipe was getting a workout.

I had a 175 husky it was a Wr 175 for cross country racing,good ride on it, thanks for the vlog incredible congratulations P-2 thanks BigAl California

That was nuts!! I used to watch Davi Millsaps do that on an RM80 when he was like 11 or 12 in FTR Hare Scrambles. Just run people down 2 and 3 times his age. Insane!! My heart was jumpin' watching this!

Great ride! I love hearing the old bike screaming.

Pure 2 stroke awsomness,That was epic and those mental lines pure quality

That's one great sounding bike, and that was one hell of a ride!!

That dude can rip!! That little 125 must have some nice port work, it pulls everywhere and there were lots of hills on that course.

Awesome stuff; what a ride! i bet Rob had a blast making all those passes...i know some of the most fun rides i had were when i fluffed the start and had to fight to get back to the pointy end; thanks for taking this old fart along for a spectacular ride.

Hell Yeah Awesome ride bro fastest lap times and most air time, I thought you were guna jump on someone GREAT RIDE M8

That is the coolest MX track I've ever seen.And that ride ? WOW !

Perspective Like flying on the back of an angry bee 🐝 flying like a missile ..great video. Nice ride wow. Was that one dude with the number 1 on his plate trying to block pass . Geez

Amazing rider this guy is pushing harder in & out of those corners.

seen him fyling around the track fairplay beastmode

Man I loved everything about this!

Hey Racers, one thing to always remember. it's always 80% is the rider!!!

Corner speed great lines and great block passes into tight corners what a legend

Ive watched this ride a few times now. HOLY SHIT WHAT A RIDE!!!

Epic ride with zero errors. Reminds me of Ward, Emig, Bubba back in the day. Cheers!

Wow- what a ride.. WFO the entire moto.. well done!

Dude was flat out rippin. Cool watch.

Brian Deegan has a great vid of him coming from the back through a bunch of 4-strokes. I think he won the race. Great vid also. Worth looking up.

That was fun! Had me back on the track with adrenalin and high heart rate and all, except I am missing the mud on my face.
