^^ even though I can't ride like that, the *type* of riding (wide open, flowing, hills/whoops) is one that I like a lot...4th/5th gear...mid-WOT...randomly loft the front wheel over a long incline drop and wheelie 30-50 feet before putting down

I love that "AZ Pain Centers" is one of their first billed supporters. Somebody knows their demographics.

Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
that was fun! 150. Riiiipin.
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
Still dunno how they are WOT coming into a turn, off for a moment to pitch the bike over, then WOT the whole turn...my mind's eye can't even fathom how that :lol:
for me - wot into the turn = going in too fast = forward momentum over the berm...
pushing the bars down to turn = means washing out the front in the berm
Wot through the turn = lowsiding in the turn...I have no idea where to plant her!!
Need to watch semics and just spend a Tuesday AM at a track one day
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
They are also modulating the clutch. Really fast 2 stroke guys tend to keep throttle pinned and use the clutch to modulate power. Much more important to keep the smokers screaming -- especially 125s. I remember watching a 250A race at NESC a few years back -- Treadwell, Dowd, Marshall, and a couple other really fast guys at Southwick on 250 smokers. Poor bikes were screaming for mercy.

Loved the flat out full throttle shot of the 500

I'm at mx338 in Southwick now. Open practice today 10 to 4 for 40 bucks. Track looks awesome!

Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
Oh and speaking of The Wick, rumor has it Robby Marshall is going to try to qualify on a 2 stroke for the national this year.
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
That vid was awesome! 2 strokes have been fast for 30 years.

+1!
That monoshock swing arm still looks as trick as when bikes first starting showing up at southwick without dual rear shocks (usually were aftermarket fox air shocks on a lot of brands for a couple years before that.)
All within a few years, Yamaha monoshock, Honda pro link, Kawasaki unitrack showed up and looked SO cool
It was also neat to routinely see full gate motos in the "open class" with all 500 cc two strike dirt bikes. All the manufacturers made them. Back then, not counting the kids classes of 80 and 100cc bikes, there were championships in 3 classes, 125, 250, and open/500. All two strokes, obviously. Then these tractor fart sounding four strokes that the EPA tricked everyone into thinking were better showed up (LOL)
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
I was spectating back then. Well, around '80 on.
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
my childhood memory of Southwick was at a National with 500s running, wish i could remember the year. to see + hear the pros railing the sand on those big bores was sick. we drove up from CT and i thought it was the most unbelievable track i had ever seen... had the same feeling when i finally made it out to Unadilla... BroomeTioga was pretty fucking awesome too.
Re: Let's liven up this forum... 2 STROKE!
Yeah unadilla has to be seen to be believed. It's like that old artist on pbs who could paint beautiful imaginary nature scenes with a butter knife and shaving cream brush got commissioned to dream up and paint a mx track!
