Is that a KX500 at 7 minutes in? He makes it almost all the way, then the bike tumbles almost all the way back down. Probably had a bunch of (slightly) used forks, bars, subframe, etc. to ebay after that one.

It looks like that guy picked the best possible line, and went right where he wanted,,,and is excellent control and use of the best powerplant on earth. That video should be used for "Advanced KX500 Studies" in graduate school at Dirt Bike University. The class would be called "How It's Done"

This is really quite funny, the guy at 7 minutes and the guy described as "how its done" are one in the same

heres one a bit different, hillclimb under the lights. and at about 40 sec a clip on verticross, kind of NHRA meets hillclimbing.

The picture is of the verticross round on the video, look close there are actually two bikes in the picture

Me likey. :-D Verticross would need a serious roost protector. A faceful from a paddle tire would knock you out. :-o It is just nobby tire class or somethin' right. Looks like fun, especially with the pyro technics. I also like the programmed hill lights. What an event. Is there a full dvd somewhere?
don46:
you can run paddles, but this instance a knobby was better. There is another clip on king of the hill and I think that once vertical destruction II comes out it will have quite a bit of footage.
