2021 KX450 FIRST RIDE || New Supercross Race Bike

[@guywpacot754]

I'm in my 60s and watching you has convinced me to start riding again.

[@didcsz3861]

Go for it Guy! My dad is 66 and still racing

[@AjCatanzaro]

Never too late!

[@karsensandberg3499]

That cap

[@trevora4195]

Imagine getting to ride a brand new bike on a fresh track with nobody on it, that’s sick🤙

[@AjCatanzaro]

When I think about it that way, I am pretty lucky!

[@guyonthecouch136]

My eyes are greener than your bike haha

[@bryanlettow4389]

Pretty legit but I guess when you’re pro and teach at the track it’s probably not that rare? Either way that would be sweet.

[@bryanlettow4389]

I know he said it’s the first time riding it perfect.

[@kawharm]

Another video topic you could do is handlebar set up and the reasons why you like certain bends, bar heights, lever position etc. @Aj Catanzaro

[@hrsey71]

haha I just posted a similar comment! glad im not the only one who needs guidance on that

New bike looks so sick. Can’t wait to watch you in sx this year

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thanks Matt!

[@fennomtb1695]

I've been watching these vids for abut a month and i find them really fun to watching and helpful keep them coming

[@matthewbrannan9116]

I quit riding in "96 after a bad crash. watching your videos has inspired me at 49yrs old to take a break from skydiving and get back on a bike. I just registered for your class at Cat Springs Tx, can't wait to train with you in person. Much respect and love from Texas

[@lwadeallen]

Only in texas would you say dirt biking is too dangerous, I should jump out of a perfectly good plane. Love it.

[@TomArietti]

Killing it man. Can't wait to see how you do in the upcoming Supercross season.

[@jedielder7970]

Earlier in this video, I was watching your shadows to see what your upper body was doing. BTW, isn't that a fantastic bike?! Right out of the crate, it has a smooth, long and strong powerband. 👍

[@litlchickennugget1863]

[@kendallpalladino9982]

I picked up a 21 kx450f... 2nd in Colorado when they dropped. The bike is an absolute animal!

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yea, I would rank the yz450 as the least rideable bike you can purchase

@@AjCatanzaro I didn't hear anyone say anything about the yz 450 in the video or the comment above please explain because I am deciding between the 2021 yz 450 or 2021 kx 450?

[@JohnDoe-pf6qp]

@@shawntheo1603 They're all good bikes. You have to keep in mind that what a rider like AJ wants out of a bike and what you want out of a bike may be two very different things.

[@kendallpalladino9982]

@canuckguy worried what?

[@tmac8718]

Awesome!! Love this. Thanks AJ

[@hrsey71]

can you do a video on bike setup?? like what to look for when choosing bars, lever setup etc. I know its largely personal preference, but im sure there are some good guidelines to follow.

[@QuagerMX]

It’s super interesting to me how in motocross, the textbook way of cornering with your inside leg up and out front is evolving into this new method of keeping both feet on the pegs at all times, but then at the same time in Moto GP, where they always used to keep their feet on the pegs, now almost the whole damn field is taking their inside foot off going into a corner! We’ve completely flipped strategies haha.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yea it’s strange!

[@shawnhorne9296]

Not so depends on the corner and terrain

[@dansmith3292]

Sick bike AJ

[@carlosbarragan6729]

i wish the track looked like that when i get to it

4:05 Straight Rhymth FLASHBACK

Love your video's. But with no outro's they catch me off guard an bum me out because I want to see more👍

[@AjCatanzaro]

It’s to keep you wanting more 😬 Kidding, it’s because I have no idea what I’m doing with these! Yes I can definitely do a short outro

[@steelstiffy85]

It's all good man. Just giving you crap. thank you for the content

[@k.h1365]

So that's how you ride when you're "still not open".... I'll be fine riding that way for the rest of my life.

[@kylejonesUB]

Agreed, heck I'll take half that!

[@sinsofanubis1053]

He meant the track wasn’t open.

[@NirHason]

@@sinsofanubis1053 I listened to that multiple time just to confirm and I'm pretty sure he said "I'm" and "it" but I'll still sign on his riding abilities when he's not open yet haha ;)

Was thinking about getting a 2021 kx450 still don’t know yet but looking up to it

[@213bunch]

Do it! You won't regret it. It's awesome right out off the show room!

[@ratcamaro]

Dangerous riding with the dozer still on the track. Guys got killed that way.

[@AjCatanzaro]

Yea I was paying close attention to where he was and would ride by super slow just to be safe. You don’t want to screw around with big equipment like that

[@funeralparties]

Awesome vid, what mount are you using for your gopro?

[@Thecorlees]

You look so smooth!

[@AjCatanzaro]

Thanks!

[@pjezdik3591]

So what was the verdict on the kx 450..? I've had the 2019 kx 250. But in a intermediate rider and though maybe a 450 could be good.

[@robertharden8748]

a darker form of fresh powder!

[@kramler]

Hey Aj, I would love if you could turn the intro music just a tad down. I have to adjust the volume down when it plays, and up again to hear what's going on in your vid

[@NirHason]

That's a good point, I'm doing the same haha

[@AjCatanzaro]

Good to know! I’ll turn it down a bit in future vids 👍🏼

[@cliffharrington6500]

I noticed a tree stump on the inside of one of those corners (2:28), please for the safety of all who ride this track get that stump removed, it is the same as having a concrete block sitting there, if you hit it you will die or be seriously injured.

[@robertwoods2505]

Hey good Morning

[@rogersracing5058]

Anybody that stumbles across this comment I need your thoughts. Do you think dylan ferrandis is a dirty rider or a aggressive rider. Because yes he’s done some dirty things but I think that people give him such a hard time just because he’s aggressive and good. Let me know what you think

[@AjCatanzaro]

I do not think he’s intentionally dirty. He’s just extremely determined and makes aggressive passes to get to the front, some of which have definitely been stupid moves. But I respect his will to win and wish I had a mindset like that!

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Keep in mind some people win with skill and beauty aka. Michael Jordan. Other people win by sheer will and determination like Larry Bird. Jordan would slide right past guys to the basket. Larry bird... had no concern for himself or anyone else that got in the way of winning. Why the difference.. simple. To beat someone better than you there has to be a willingness to do what they won't. :)
