This is one of "those" video's...One that demonstrates how far and above mere mortals a pro motocrosser really is...It's like there not even trying and all eyes at trackside are witnessing this shredfest that they will probably tell their grandkids about when they get old...I love it ...
That's crazy that this is the most watched video on mxptv ever!! So proud that I got to watch him grow up as soon as I watched him ride at like Walden an diamondback district 34 tracks you could just tell this kid had it an omg its a great story justin deserves everything he gets cuz he was dirt pour I mean they had nothing but whwn he first started with shitty gear mis matched boots ripped jerseys an old bikes man he was so fast the sponsors couldn't deny I mean whwn he got on 845ccs he was faster then most of the A riders and there have been alot of good pros to come out of the new England new york jersey area I mean we cant even ride all year an we got barcia decotis marshal Louroso my father james Coen his father mcmillan l evett Doug Henry john Dowd. We def profuse alot of good riders in d34 and in nesc but justin is def representing d34 the most barcia fan for life
@Jonathan Habacker I REMEMBER you Dad, Jim. We used to practice at a sand track aptly called Exit 54, it was right off the Long Island Expressway. I watched your dad Jim, tell him I said howdy, hit a double jump that must've been over 100 feet apart. EVERYONE that saw that was just STUNNED😲😟🤔🧐 And it wasn't a nice landing double either, it was a "if you miss you're gonna DIE" peaked jump. He did it TWICE... And that was AFTER what seemed like a 45 minute moto. It's insane to think that's what is necessary to be a Nationally ranked Pro like he was. Then imagine guys like him on bikes whose two fork legs cost 25k bucks a piece with a 35k dollar shock and an army of people keeping every pice working to perfection. As you rightly said, the North East is the SoCal of motocross...and we did that WITHOUT riding all year.😲🤔 😎💪🏻🏁💪🏾😎 Back to @Justin Barcia the year was 2003, I was just coming off winning a track Championship at Walden Playboys in 01 and riding pretty good. It was at Ace MX, not one if my face tracks cos I'm not the best jumper of artificial jumps. I come around a tight right turn into a 50 foot tabletop and like most of the Am riders was landing near the down side but on the to of the jump. To my right and above me I hear BRRRRIIIINNNG. Scared the piss out me cos I was riding ok. I look to where the pinned TWO STROKE sound came from and I'm looking at the underside frame rails and two tiny little feet. My first thought was "WTH is that kid doing up there?" I mean he was like 6 feet above my head and I was already 6 feet off the ground. I had to pull over after the jump and just watch the little kid on a 65cc KTM (I was on the 250 2T version) go blasting around the track making it look effortless. A track worker walked up to me thinking my bike has broke and I asked him who IS that... "That's Justin Barcia, he's gonna be Pro one day." I've never forgotten those words or that day at Ace MX. I've watched him grow from a little bit into grown man and every dream an Am. racer could ever have, Justin has lived it out. Made D34 MSC and SET LISC PROUD to say WE ARE "NOO YAWKAS" Here's the list. *Sonny and Sal Defeo, Ghost Motorcycles. *Buzzy Shara, D34 Legend. *Jim Weinert, 500 National and SX titles and first American to BEAT the EUROPEANS at the sport of motocross. *Pat Moroney, legendary privateer and member of the first Moto X Fox reaching team. * Frank and Andy Stacy. You owe the Dunlop and Pirelli tires your riding on to Frank's keen knowledge. Andy was a 1 time KTM factory rider. So was Frank. *Ken Valentine, 1 time KTM factory rider and D34 Legend. *Mike Boucher, multi time D34 Champion and a guy who gave me gas so I could race when I forgot my gas jug at my 2nd ever race. TY Mike. *Carlo and John Coen (RIP). Carlo was a Nationally ranked Pro for over a decade. He looked Jean-Michel Bayle for 20 minutes at a Southwick one year.😲 During his era FASTER East coast riders were ignored in favor of lesser SoCal riders. John won a Fla. Winter Series Championship and later owned the Diamondback track. RIP Bro. 💪🏻😎🏁🙏🏾 *Kurt McMillen, one if the fastest 500cc racers to come out of NY short of The Jammer himself. Kurt finished his best season ranked inside the top ten of the 500cc Nationals. I remember him lapping a factory support rider, Robot Rogers, at Broome-Tioga National. *Ryan Mills truths local Pro at FOURTEEN years old. It was INSANE watching him. He was the Justin Barcia of his generation. Ryan ride for Factory Connection Honda and won a National was a KTM factory rider. *Scott Sheak, RIP, was another super fast kid who FLEW they the D34 ranks and we all know he was gonna make waves in the Nationals. He did, he won his only national on a heavily modded RM125. After that he was riding for the Factory Honda team. RIP warrior. *Justin Barcia. We've come full circle and back where we started. Just was Factory Honda, Factory Yamaha, and now Factory GasGas. ALL these riders bright great honor and pride to everyone who's ever raced D34 MSC/LISC. * No, I DIDN'T forget the latest addition, another Justin, Justin Cooper from Long Island D34 LISC. He's carrying the banner long left by the OG, Jim Habacker. It seems like yesterday when my crew was riding Exit 54 every chance we could get but it was 1989, 33 years ago. Where did the time go...at least we can watch the two Justins wage war on the rest of the country from the warmth of our living room, all the while remembering they got there riding only 8 months of the year. BRAAAP on boys.
Brilliant!!!! This kid has made the "panic rev" a trademark technique. Maybe a handful of guys I have ever seen ride with such heart and total commitment! BRILLIANT!
Justin absolutely just flys!! I've watch him for years in the mini bike classes, this dude is super fast. For those that thinks he overrevs the two stroke... maybe you forget what a fast 125 two stroke sounds like. Watch some early videos of RC or Bubba... sounds the same to me! Great video Wozwick!! Looking forward to more.
Maybe if the same technology an effort that's sunk into four strokes also went into two strokes of this day, many fucks would be givin with no rebuilds.
What ratio did he run his fuel mixture and what spark plug and up grades to the engine ???? Plz need help as I got a 2007 honda cr 125 and doesn't go as hard as this and doesn't sound anything like this and I ring the shit out of it
So sick that I just happened to end up here for this race. I remember him riding by me waiting for practice & thought, that’s cool. Malcom stewart & big james where there too
My buddy owned this bike 2 people after barcia, this bike was the tightest bike I ever rode, from suspension to nuts and bolts, sickkkkk. I’m sure the motor had been rebuilt multiple times before I ever rode it but omgggg
after watching this video hundereds of times, the way he pulls starts is fantastic, i took it into account on some flat ground in my local championship on my cr125 and just sat back whilst the 4 strokes hugged the front end and it works so well. nearly pulled a holeshot in a open group against 450's. cr125 = best bike ever manufactured.
man this kid just wont quit. hes a machine. he rides like villopoto. that 2stroke engine loves the way hes using it to its full potential. less foul plugs
The 4-strokes are super reliable. They won't break down after a beating, if you take care of it. If it does break down though, it will cost you more than a 2-stroke, but a 2-stroke requires more maintenance and will more likely break. A 4-stroke is also a lot easier to drive, since you won't need to keep the engine at high RPM's for it to produce power. And if you're racing you're going to have to replace the pistons on a 2-stroke engine a lot more often, they wear down easily.
for cement starting gates its better to have more weight back for better traction. if ur up on the tank and the rear tire is light then the rear tire will just light up...
Hi! I think he gives full throttle in the air just to return de whips and to absorb the impact, increasing the aceleration at the maximum possible just right after landing. Regards...o/
Man, I love my cr125, it's an 03 with fmf gold series fatty, it will keep up, if not beat my brothers crf250r, and my friends rmz250 fuel injected. Honda 4 life.
@macmillerboiii warm the bike up when you start it. high rev it a few times. and it it does it while ur riding pull in the clutch half way just for a moment and it will kick right into the powerband
alot of what peopel dont know is if he hits the jump a certain wat and at the top of the jump it doesn't look like hes gionna land correct you can hit it hard witha rev and it will lift the front a little.. he tends to do it more often than most but thats probably a reason.
