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

That is interesting. The Monday Morning Quarterback in me says he needed to feather the clutch at that wheelie moment, and looked like maybe he had slid down the seat a bit. The important thing is the crowd got what they came for.
