[vid] Couple laps on the new 2014 Suzuki RM-Z 250 @ Milestone + bloopers

[a13x]

Couple laps on the 2014 Suzuki RM-Z 250 at Milestone MX plus a couple of bloopers at the end. Tested out the RM-Z along with the iON Air camera. Bit more wind noise than I would have liked. Next camera test I'll have the mic port taped over to see how that does.

I rolled off midway up the face.

"WELL DERE'S YA PRABLEM"

That triple is LONG and the landing is almost non-existent. If you are watching from trackside it looks like dudes are falling out of the sky. Which is also what it felt like coming up short.

sweet vid you sure look comfy on that thing... think you'll keep the 2T?

EDIT: speaking of cameras, ever test out a Replay XD1080? thinking of picking one up

After putting 40 hours on my 250sx, and getting fairly comfy on it, jumping on 450's and 250 4st's feels like cheating. The bikes are so fucking easy to ride. They don't even make you tired. I could ride that RMZ250 until I got bored and pitted in.... They just DO NOT compare to the fire breathing 250sx two stroke.

That said I miss my 250sx. Pipe cracked 5 weeks ago which is why I haven't been on it. Also putting some new tires on it (my rear was shot, spun everywhere) and some other little items. The 250sx is so damn fun to ride. Yea it might make you more tired. Yea it's a beast to ride.. but it puts a huge smile on your face and rewards good riding. Everytime I'm headed home from the track on the 250sx I go 'man I love that bike' which is what it's all about. Plus it's just cool.

I have a RePlay camera as well which I've never used. I'll have to dig that out and test it too.

that's why i went back to a small 2-stroke. FUN FUN FUN.

curious what you think of the Replay if you test it out. i like the form factor a lot. only thing that bums me out is the goggle mount doesnt rotate. if i get one i'm thinking i'll mate the Replay 'LowBoy' mount to my Contour goggle mount. having the cam perfectly inline with your strap points too low.

Will do.

I did like the FOV that the iON had. When I mounted my GoPro Hero HD (yes few models old) on my helmet I wasn't happy with the result. Both side mount (next to google strap) or on the top (do not like top view at all, on anyone). Which is why I normally rocked the chest mount. The iON on the side though, and I have the iON v1, not the new Air2, I liked it. I hope the Replay has a similar FOV. The Replay def has a smaller camera body. Looks like a big tube of lipstick.

Other thing that's cool with the iON is the wifi... I can use my iPad or phone to see what the camera sees, start recording, take pics, view videos, all from trackside. That's sweet.

Not quite as fast as a dr200 though bro.

[breakdirt916]

for mx, I'm too fast for what you're allowed to do on a dr200

I don't feel that I'm necessarily faster on the RMZ compared to the KTM. More that I'm riding good right now (for me) and haven't filmed anything super recent on the KTM.
