Man Trevor!! You are making that 250 sing!! And that pass by Joe Watson was nothing to be ashamed of considering he is on a 480!! I am absolutely blown away at how better you get with each race and your versatility to adapting to all these different bikes.

[@LisaAmericaUnderCover]

Such a great video, you're BLAZING!!! Checkers are the best!! The old addage: "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger"!! LOL!!

[@Jeff14S]

I read the article associated with this video over at DBT and I am a little confused. The title of the article is "2024 Kawasaki KX250X Off-Road Build Stage 1". But in the article it states "we picked up a 2024 Kawasaki KX250". Why not just purchase and race the KX250X? What's the advantage of converting a F into an X when the X basically has the softer suspension that you were looking for when swapping the 450X forks onto this bike?

I got motion sickness watching this but I wanted to see you pass that guy in the red so badly, I couldn't stop watching. Those rocky sections looked miserable and the rest? Yikes, but you've proven a point, Trevor. In order to be #1 you've got to follow the "dirt trail" less traveled. Love, Uncle David

[@goroost777]

Hey Trevor you gave that red bike all he wanted good job bud.

[@ryanoborn602]

Good job if you rode stock motocross suspension in all those rocks!! And also for riding a 250f in open desert racing. 450f's are king in that open terrain. The riding conditions looked like they couldn't be better for a desert race!

[@goroost777]

No dust you gotta love it👍

[@garrettkenny1845]

The dirt looks amazing

[@dont3761]

Great video! Dirt looked awesome,

[@mperhaps]

I WANT MY CAMERA ON ONE OF THE FAST RIDERS. 3min & 55 seconds into this race and I've been vicariously passed 7 times. I demand more from my virtual reality.

[@TrevorHunter224]

Watch a little longer and I pass quite a few riders back 😙

[@RonWatson-b6u]

Great ride! I used to love to ride 250's, but when an open bike catches you, there's not much you can do to keep them behind. Really enjoyed the video too!

[@lunarverse2193]

Nice video, would love to see more of Loop 2!

[@TrevorHunter224]

I’ll be posting the entire GoPro from this race later this week with a lot more loop 2 footage.

[@lunarverse2193]

Awesome! @@TrevorHunter224

[@dh1270]

God damn dude!!

[@russellberg4801]

Thank you for sharing your racing. I am curious why you chose a 250x in a desert race? Was this a corporate decision?

[@TrevorHunter224]

Kawasaki is offering really good contingency this year and since it’s a bike I like, I bought one from Del Amo Motorsports and will be racing it this year to try and collect some contingency money

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Wow, amazing conditions, nice course . Where was that ? Johnson Valley area ? Looks like some motocrossers out there ripping past you ! 😅

[@TrevorHunter224]

Yep, we staged at Anderson Dry Lake

[@ignaciomaldini9537]

Awesome video Trevor. What kind of camera and mount are you running? Is it under the helmet visor?

[@TrevorHunter224]

GoPro Hero 11 Mini and yep it’s under the visor

[@Randy_Cox]

Woohoo great start!! Got that thing set to tear!!🔥🔥 What was hard to sort out about the new bike? Suspension, engine? I know with my 22 kx250x keeping it in the high rpm range for max power while going through rough stuff was a challange for me. If I had to make a guess after watching more I would guess you geared it way up to haul the mail and it left it very bad in the slow rocky stuff.

[@TrevorHunter224]

Both were tough with the day before being the first time I had ridden this bike before racing it. Suspension came off of a 450 GP bike so it was stiff and the motor is all stock and struggled to chug through the rocks, especially with a 14/50 gearing setup

[@outdoormedia77]

Another great video, love the scenery. I’m guessing suspension is most important on a long race like that.

[@TrevorHunter224]

Yes, suspension is very critical for racing like this!

[@harry_lyles]

What gearing were you running on your 250 for this H&H?

[@TrevorHunter224]

@@harry_lyles 14/50 but it was a bit too tall in the technical rocks

[@harry_lyles]

@@TrevorHunter224 thanks dude, im thinking of coming out for the last round and running 13/49

[@reliablehostingken]

WTG Trevor !!!! Cant wait to see loop 2 What camera are you using?? It has great stabilization.

[@TrevorHunter224]

GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini!

[@garrettburnett9605]

That 3 rider battle was gnarly. Pretty cool. Unfortunately, That kawi looked like it was under powered.

[@TrevorHunter224]

In the fast stuff it wasn’t bad but the high strung motor was tough to ride in all the rocks

[@NickRas625]

Nothing better than racing a wet desert. You didnt happen to Strava or GPX the ride?

[@TrevorHunter224]

I do have a strava GPX file for this race

[@greatscot5177]

First I would like to say thanks for using a helmet mount camera. Those chest camera angles just don't do it justice. Second, man you pro guys rip! Makes me embarrassed to post my slow ass videos.

[@matthiasschulze393]

get back on a 450, that bike holding you back
