Well it’s safe to say I’m addicted after only my second ever Hare Scramble! I did a little better than my first one and considering I came down with a bad stomach bug the night before the race just finishing is a win!

Good job, I came in 21st. I thought the course was fantastic! We had a huge class again.

Great riding, really smooth and clean lines, you are addicted for sure

[@Captain250FX]

Thanks Mike! I sure am addicted!

[@engineeredstrength4102]

Looks like a really fun course - good mix of fast/flowy and tight/technical. You were rolling good! I'm impressed with the 250's ability to chug through some of the slower stuff.

Thanks

Very good job, especially for only your second scramble ever! I just got into these at the end of last year and they are a riot. Good job sticking with it after an especially hard season opener. I always look forward to these videos! Maybe I'll catch up with you at the next one and say hi

[@Captain250FX]

Thanks Trel! Definitely say hi if you see me! 🤙🏽

[@bartman376]

Great job Luis! looks like a lot of fun. I haven't raced in over 8 years. They don't have hair scrambles out here there called grand prix not as many miles per loop but same concept. I miss all the green back there!

I would like to see more racing action; enjoy watching you progress. I do have a question; it appears many of the guys you ride with ride two strokes; so curious what you like about the four stroke over the two stroke ? Also, do you stall the four stroke more than your two stroke riding buddies ? It does appear to have very good low grunt. Thanks in advance for the response and the great channel.

[@Captain250FX]

Thanks Michael! I actually will have a race on June 12th and the 19th, so more race footage coming! As far as 4t 2t I just fell in love with these FX’s. This is my second FX. I go everywhere my friends do on their bikes but I do stall more but I’m fairly good with the clutch.

[@tylerewing7591]

Was scrolling through your channel, noticed we ride a lot of the same trails here in MI. Do you have a preferred tire setup for those trails?

[@JacobSnover]

Cool video! I hear a lot of people talk about the gopro flattening the terrain, but have you seen the gopro fender mounts? Malcom Stewart has videos from SX like that and it's still smooth, but shows the terrain a lot better. Just wondering if you've considered it? Keep pushing yourself man, you're doing great!

[@Captain250FX]

Thanks for the kind words and I’ll have to look into that fender mount, maybe two cameras?!

All hare scrambles are 2hrs plus one lap, that usually means around 2.5 hrs roughly.

Awesome work mate. Would make it a bit easier on yourself if you were riding a 2banga. 300 easiest as less gear changes, doesn't stall as easy and way lighter feel when riding that sort of terrain. Either way jealous and looked like a great time out there having fun on your dirtbike. Avagud1
