I hear ya brother. No satisfaction in winning a race if you’re cheating.

It's seriously a lot of fun, I highly encourage getting out there and trying a couple races. You can always signup in the Sportsman class to try it out and see if you like it. 👍

Good question, you might try reaching out to the Arizona Trail Riders I’m pretty sure they have the gpx for the Kelly Canyon course. One of my favorite races for sure

@@ChrisCameron1984 will do, thanks!!

Haha... Awesome man!!! 👍I had to go back and check it out, saw you by the trees. I actually remembered that one. Glad you're out racing brother. Hope to see you out there next race!!!

I’m in the C 50+ class. Should have done better but that crash set me back more than I expected.

@@ChrisCameron1984 it happens to all of us! 💪

Super fun course for sure. Only wish I had done better. There’s always next year 😊

Haha... 😂 Ya I was looking for all the help I could get!!!

I was hoping it was only the slave cylinder but unfortunately it was actually a defect in the friction plates. I have over 300+ hours with the new clutch and no issues at all.

@@ChrisCameron1984 Wow! Thank for detail info sharing...

Yes this is a really fun course. Looking forward to racing this course again in a few weeks!

Thanks man, this video was the C class

Haha.. 🤣 Yeah no joke man. I did actually clip a few trying to pass.

Yes I agree and was frustrated after watching the video., that I didn’t make a pass sooner. That's part of why I make the videos so I can see where I need to improve, and passing is certainly at the top of my list. I loved the course and the whoops were a blast.

Thanks brother, awesome race!!! No worries about the restart, everyone I talk to chalked it up to a practice lap. Wish we could do that on every race. 👍

Thanks man, yeah a few people commented on that guy. This is a great race for practicing passing riders that won't move over. In general I was able to pass most riders pretty easy, for some reason not this guy. Everytime I watch the video I'm yelling at myself to pass this guy Lol... 🤣

I completely agree with you. I didn't mind the restart, we were all in the same boat and I just chalked it up to a great practice lap. The race was awesome regardless. Conditions were perfect as well as the course. Great job guys, you Rock!!!

This race was in Blythe California at Shorty's motocross track

@@ChrisCameron1984 thank you! What class do you run? Do m looking to do my first race

No worries man, I'm in the C50+ class. 325M

Yeah I agree brother! At least we were all in the same boat at the restart, a little tired. Too bad they missed out on a awesome course. The dirt and the burms were perfect. 🤙

it was almost like ya’ll got to preview the course, then race it 😂

@@BradVentureAZ Haha... I totally agree!!! 👍

Haha... 😃 I wasn't sure I passed anyone from what I could see. Riding blind for most of the race Lol...

Yeah that was a really fun race. The gearing is setup with the factory settings. I haven't made any modifications to the bike. It ran strong through the entire race with no issues.

Haha glad he waited for us. Just watched the video, that was a awesome battle brother!!! 🤟

Yeah the track was really awesome for sure. Hopefully they will include this track next year!

Currently my 2022 FC450 has 355 hours with no piston change. I have two races on January 6th and 7th which are primarily motocross races. I'll be racing the 450 in both races. So far I haven't noticed any issues with the bike. I'm not sure how long the bike will perform well with the original piston but will post here when it begins to fail.

@@ChrisCameron1984 ok thanks, I appreciate your response. I want to buy a 2021 or 22 husqvarna that's why I watch your videos. I see that it is a bicycle with good reliability and engine life. It will be good if you upload a video at how many hours you did the repair and see what condition the engine is in with almost 400 hours of use. Best regards from Guadalajara Mexico 🔥. happy New Year friend

I'm riding in North Scottsdale also known as Rio Verde. Great place to ride and close to home!

I hear ya Bruce. I love riding in the desert myself. Something about riding in the wide open space and seeing for miles. It's my second home really!

This is in the Wildcat/Rio Verde area. If you follow Camp Creek about half way to Needle Rock you can't miss the hill in this video. Great area to ride and close to home. You might also try Boulders aka Mile Markers. I have recently been riding out there and it's one of my favorites!

@@ChrisCameron1984 thanks man!

Good point, I was following pretty close to another racer in my class and regretted it. My air filter was not happy with me after the race Lol..

From what I understand they told everyone not to use the chin and helmet mounts. I have a chest mount with a harness that goes over the shoulder. Not ideal but at least they didn't say anything, or probably just didn't notice Lol...

Haha yeah that was a bit challenging. Replacing the filters today!

Great race to end the season 👍

Keep an eye on this site amraracing.com they should put up a new schedule in January. We just finished our last race so first of the year for a new schedule.

@@ChrisCameron1984 I emailed their contact page. I'm hoping it's a friendly fun environment for the kid. Looks like fun

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it up there in time for the hill climb and barrel races. The $100 hill climb is definitely on my bucket list. 👍

That was an awesome course for sure. Hope they include Cinders again next year!

Glad you guys enjoyed it, we are trying to do it again next year !

Thanks buddy, yeah that was a really fun course for sure!

Glad you guys liked it! 🤙

@@GhostHammerX Loved the course, awesome job to all the Ghostriderz club members! 👍

Haha, the only thing I was smelling was hot lava climbing those hills. Lol...

@@ChrisCameron1984 ugh, stupid autocorrect, I meant to say “skellies”, as in skeletons, lol

@@GhostHammerX Haha too funny!! Yeah loved the skeletons. Always fun to see some humor added along the trails. Looked cool in the video to! 🤙

I used MOTOREX Cross Power 4T 10W/50 for every oil change on the FC 450. I think more importantly is the frequency of oil changes. I never went over 10 hours without changing the oil. Essentially I changed the oil every week.

No, so far the bike is still running strong at 350 hours. The clutch problem was probably due to a faulty part which Husky replaced for free. I would buy this bike again without hesitation if I was looking for a new 4 stroke. 👍

@@ChrisCameron1984 thank you for your answer. Best regards

Thanks, bike is still running strong at 350 hours. I bought the extended brake pedal from Amazon here is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XR1JM66/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@ChrisCameron1984 thanks for your answer. In these 350 hours, what parts have you changed on the motorcycle?

@@MOTOSYMOTOCICLTETAS Other than the extended brake pedal the bike is still bone stock. I had thought about changing the air forks to KYB but after playing around with the compression and rebound I found they worked better than I expected.

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks, this was a fun race for sure!

Thanks man, watched your race in Cinders AZ awesome job in that sand/ash. I think our next race with AMRA might be up there. Not entirely sure but they are calling the race Hauling-ash Lol.. So pretty good guess it will be up there. I hope so and it should be pretty awesome!!! BTW great job on maintaining control though that course, I'm sure it was a challenge. 👍

@@ChrisCameron1984 totally epic to read & thank you for the wonderful words as well as watching Cinders moto video Etc🙏🏼🙏🏼🎉🎉 good times indeed & wishing you all more rad success!!

We are fortunate to have some pretty nice trails around here. Even better with the 2 stroke!

@@ChrisCameron1984 i’m picking up a 2023 tx300 from a dealer for 8500 and it’s brand new. once i saw that deal i was on it. But quick question what premix oil do you use and at what ratio?

​@@goon.1 That's a great deal and you wont be disappointed with the bike for sure. I use the Motorex Cross-Power 2T Pre-mix. I have been mixing the ratio around 40 - 50 to 1

It was definitely a brutal race. I was totally unprepared for that type of sand and crashed more times in this race than any other race. With that said I loved this course and hopeful they add Page back in the series next year. 🤞

I raced in the C 50+ class. Really wanted to race the 4th test, but maybe next year! Had a couple good crashes including hitting a tree, wasn't expecting to do that well.

@@ChrisCameron1984 I really wanted to race this one, but just haven’t recovered enough to do so, IMO. Love Kelly Canyon!

@@GhostHammerX Hoping they have the race again next year. Kelly Canyon is definitely one of my favorites alongside Page. We need to get a Page race added in this year, fingers crossed 🤞

@@ChrisCameron1984 Last I heard was that they were giving Page a “cooldown” this season, so probably not, unfortunately. That said, we may see BOTH next year!

@@GhostHammerX Ah too bad, looking forward to next year for sure!

Thanks man! Yeah this was a really fun race with the awesome terrain. Nice to get out of the desert for a change. Good question on the GoPro battery. I just use the regular GoPro battery and have been struggling with recording time. I can usually get about 50 minutes and cut out about 10 minutes of footage while I'm at the starting line. The biggest gain I found was making sure the screen turns off after 1 minute. That was on the entire time previously, and I was only able to get about 30 minutes. I know there are a few other tricks but I haven't explored those. Trystan Hart seems to be getting about 90 minutes in his videos and it doesn't look like he's stopping to change batteries. Not sure how he's running the GoPro so long.

@@ChrisCameron1984 Thanks buddy, much appreciated. I do know there are extended battery packs a lot of guys are using and you carry it in the backpack and just wire it direct. They can record up to like three hours of HD. I'll stay tuned to your vids, you caught my eye when I watched your first vid when you just picked up your new two stroke. I enjoyed your commentary about "I don't even know what gear I'm in, stay with me guys". Then the next thing I see you're racing it in a different video and doing great. Good stuff. Hope to see you out on the trail or in a race. Take care.

@@onthethrottle7104 Thanks man, yeah shortly after the first video my son launched the bike off a cliff (The Point) and it went end over end. He broke his tail bone and healed before the bike was actually repaired. Long story short I got the bike back from the shop 1 week before the race. I really didn't expect to do very well so I thought I would take the bike and race it. Not sure if I would have done better with the 4 stroke but man I had a lot of fun riding the TX 300. Thanks for the info on the GoPro. 3 hours would be perfect for a race, I'm definitely looking into the extended battery pack. 👍

@@ChrisCameron1984 Glad your son is okay! Way to go on the race, that's a great story. I subscribed and can't wait to see more good riding and bike information from you brother. Take care!

@@onthethrottle7104 Thanks for joining the channel 👍Looking forward to getting back out on the trails soon. We're right in the middle of a heat wave, might have to head back up to Flagstaff for a few days just to ride. My son wants to get back on the bike. A little scary now but baby steps moving forward. 🤕

Oh dang man that's rough. I can relate though, hit a tree pretty hard myself, nothing broken fortunately. I did ride the Husky TX 300 2 stroke in this race. All I can say is I wish I had never ridden a 2 stroke because I can never go back to my 4 stroke again Lol... Just kidding I love both bikes. I actually won the race in my class with this bike. I can't explain why, but it just handles so much better on an Enduro course.

@@ChrisCameron1984 I hear you! Glad you had fun. I am on a 250t and tempted to switch to a 4 stroke for some extra stability but I think the grass will always be greener on the other side!

I highly encourage it Nathan. It's as much fun as it looks, really! Register with AMA then signup on the AMRA website, it's that easy. You will have a blast and meet the nicest group of racers.

@@ChrisCameron1984 I only have a crf250f it's a turd.. and I'm 6'5". I don't know how well it'd work out

@@nathanflamard515 I know quite a few racers riding 250's and Rik Smits is 7' 4" former Indiana Pacers basketball player, and he's fast! Really just about having fun racing against a bunch of cool riders.

Looks awesome man. What part of kelly canyon do you guys start?

@@gilmag1530 Super awesome race for sure. My first time up there so I don't know the Canyon very well. We started at one of the larger camp grounds (staging areas) then rode a short transfer to the first test. The trail was clearly labeled for motorcycles, hikers and mountain bikes. Hopefully I will get back up there over the summer and will have a better idea were I'm at exactly. Really cool area to ride!!!

Yea that was a close race Tom. Super fun race for sure!

Thanks Mitchell, just signed up for the next race on June 4th in Flagstaff. Might take the new bike if I can get enough practice time on it. Not sure if I remember how to ride in a real forest Lol...
