@@panic-revv85 me too, that course was abusive

It’s a 2024 Yz250fx (four stroke). All of the Yamaha four strokes come stock with electric start, however the two strokes don’t. I have spent a lot of time on my brothers yz250x (two stroke) and personally I wouldn’t bother with adding electric start because it’s so easy to kick start.

@@connorblakely621x Right on, thanks. I'm on a 2004 YZ250F right now riding trails primarily and going back and forth between a YZ250X and one of the KTM/Husky 300s for my next bike. Electric start would be convenient but I love Yamaha.

@@connorblakely621x Also - awesome race. I was bummed I couldn't get down for this one.

@@eastman922 thanks man. It’s worth mentioning that these Dunlop MX34’s are crazy good, they’re very confidence inspiring.

@@connorblakely621xYou run the soft/intermediate tire?

Only a few seconds. If you get hung up on the enduro section, you lose time. If you go through it clean, you make time. I don’t think I ever took the bypass but I watched the pro/expert race and the bypass had a lot of turns, where as the enduro section is a straight shot. The two lines split right before the first logs and the merge back together right after the tires.

@@connorblakely621x right on

2024 Yamaha YZ250FX

Thanks dude. I think knolls was a good race to test it out on.

Hell yeah man, that was a tight race. I screwed myself out of a few positions by pitting twice, but oh well. I don’t doubt that your top speed was 5 miles an hour faster than mine. I could visibly see you pulling away on the dry lake beds.

@@connorblakely621x I don't know if I could've got around you if I didn't pit faster than you going out for loop 3. I was so dead.

I have been using open shot video editor on pc for the past few years but for this race I tried something new and used IMovie on my IPhone.

It somehow was more fun in the sloppy mud
