FANTASTIC! I would call that a great success. You finished the race in one piece and learned a ton of new information, about yourself and riding in general. Brought back memories of my first races!
Raced as a kid and can relate to all this. Would love to race again, seeing the leaders speed as they lap you is truly humbling, try not to crash into them !
dude! super cool, well done and keep it up. you'll figure out the neat tricks as you go. Also, I think this is "thus far" your best video/vlog. Let me know when you want a Hilton bush ride with some of the greats from Natal. Thanks for your effort, Cam from Hilton.
Honestly the rowing is probably the most important one for upper body strength, only running and bycicle riding wont gain you alot for Motorcross, if anything even lol
broke my arm in a freak accident when I was out of the way but my friend some how managed to hit me and knock me off. Now I'm in a cast because my arm is broken. Were still friends btw
What a wonderful story! Glad your girlfriend was supportive. Unfortunate to hear about your injury. Butttttt it doesn’t look too serious and you’ll eventually be back at it. One of my favorite RU-vidrs because you’re so relatable.
WOW, congratulations!! Thanks for documenting this so well! Really enjoyed this entire video! I don't race, not because I don't want to, but because I can't afford another bike. still ., .. this inspired me to go out in my garage and clean my adventure bike.
I have no words to express how much I liked your video, did a few races when I was young and havent rode much since those days, been trying to get back to dirt bikes and watching this lit a fire deep inside me to get back at it because of all the reasons I witnessed you go through. Amazing sharing of the experience and I would like to see more coming soon to encourage other people to go try it out themselves. Much love
Honestly just finishing your first race is way more important than ranking higher. Sure its bragging rights, but it's better to survive and enjoy your first experience and be back for more than get injured and turned off from racing by pushing yourself too hard. You can push yourself to perform better in the next race, at least thats what I think
hey man just gonna let you know having a full tank of gas into always recommended before a race it adds more weight from gas you wont need you wont be using it all in one race i would run 1/4 or 1/2 tank to save as much weight as possible for the short motos.
I just started to race harescarables and being somewhat fit an hour and a half into a race i am one mistake form passing out trying to pick up my bike again
4:18 I forgot about Hadedas' most annoying bird ever that's one thing I don't miss about living in Durban. Keep up the good work and great videos man. Well done 👍
GREAT video man, I just spent 22 minutes in the way- back machine, almost 50 years back in time when I rode my first race. I really have no clue what happened around the during the whole videos. This tastes for more ...
My first race is this weekend. I'm kinda nervous cause I haven't been on a ride for a few weeks and I just got my bike back from suspension work. I'll literally have 1 hour to practice... wish me luck hahaha
One of the best and truthful videos I`ve seen in a long time. Thank You. I bought Bucci 160cc tuned f15 (I think?) pitbike two weeks ago. My first ever bike. Planning to do MINI MX in Latvian NC when season opens. Every week since I got the bike, I cant wait for weekend to come, so I could do some riding. Forecast shows - 2 Celsius ( 28.4 F) but I think I dont care. I ll try anyway. I hope to experience something similar to what You were showing in this awesome video. All n all, I hope You keep having a great time on you bike and it doesn't break a lot too. 420
Suspension is what keeps you safer. I see so many crash because of a blown shock. Your shock can be blown without it leaking it's called emulsification.
Glad she helped give you the push, mate; there's nothing quite like that first race, or racing in general, really. People tend to become _so_ much more confident once they realize that they're actually good enough to race and battle other riders on the track.
Honestly the first race is the one that gives you the most anxiety. It's awesome that you were able to have little battles in both motos, that's what really makes it fun. My favorite races will always be the ones where you and another guy keep going back and forth.
I think this video perfectly explains the difference between Brits and Americans. Brits spend a month to prepare with much planning and exercise. Americans just go race.😂 Great vid dude. Thanks for bringing us along.
