Antique Twistin' ft. Jarryd McNeil - vurbmoto

[@KMC2869]

Finally a young rider not afraid to man handle a vintage bike - awesome riding

[@69HemiGTX]

A prepped track, beautiful weather, premix, cooling fins, drum brakes, and a seat like a loaf of bread. Good times ahead.

[@chriswesney]

Air cooled 2 strokes make the most beautiful sound of them all...

[@Zhukov-3]

The old girl still has it!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Many comments seem to state that nobody rode a bike this fast in the 70's. They did. Faster too. This guy rides well. He may have been competitive.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I bet it turns easier than the tall bikes today. The YZ250 2-stroke today is insanely tall. I lowered mine 1.75" total, (1" seat, .75 suspenders), to match what i rode in the 80's/90's,-corners so much better.

[@markb7067]

Just shows how a great rider on a good old air-cooled bike can still haul the mail and have a blast. Great footage!

[@kenharris8743]

That thing's got a pogo stick for a back shock a sofa for a seat and Flintstone brakes and he still kicks ass on it !!

[@AbcAbc-ox6pg]

This is the proof: No matter what model year your bike is, it's not the bike, it's the rider that makes the difference.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Then I see a USA SX race with 10 guys on the same second for a lap time. I know what is wrong there. It is the track. If the track is made to keep everybody the same speed,---might as well watch a parade.

[@letsride614]

coming from an old guy like myself, that was freakin awsome! Who needs 10,000 $ new bikes, not that kid.

[@yz125fun5]

Wow 😲 can't say much else. Absolutely amazing riding on that bike 😍😍😍

[@zacksellers3210]

Fecking crazy with a late 70's yz. He's like "What? Simple!".

[@puppetmaster8106]

Love the old 2~stroke Yamaha YZ250. Memories of Indian Dunes. Sounds like a fresh top end!

[@rl1412]

I grew up in the late 70s. this shows me what all the bikes I dreamed of can do.....AWSOME! vintage is a state of mind, ….not an age measurable.

[@robertrishel3685]

So awesome!! A true thing of beauty, this film.... I cannot imagine how any of us would have reacted to see someone ride like this back in the day, doing whips like that🤯🤯🤯🤯. We would have shit ourselves!!! It would be great to see more videos of old bikes being ridden by modern pros👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Other than tricks,---I think the old guys had more talent, overall. It does take more talent to ride a 2-stroke fast, and the tracks separated the talent more. This guy is riding it pretty good. I don't think the modern pros could go back in time and beat the earlier MX hero's.

[@grahamchilds821]

The best days of yz motocross 2stroke air cooled nothing beats these reliable yamaha,s wish they still produced in the factory i would buy a couple they are fun to ride just motocross old school style nothing beats a yz

[@josephwinkler4863]

I’m so old I remember when that bike was state of the art

Soooo sick! More of these please!!

He is treating that thing like a modern bike. Very good rider.

[@benanenberg8834]

That was awesome

[@MegaPancakes111]

I stand corrected. Sounds great. More!!!!!

[@ls1_cammeroh]

Damn I want an up close picture of that whip on that thing

[@pewsician2388]

That's probably as sideways as a vintage bike has ever been

[@jz_38]

I was thinking the same thing 😂👊🏽

[@stp479]

+Jacob Zack Arnbrister Guess you never saw JoJo Keller from '83 :O) www.buckleyphotos.com/classicprints/source/image/jojoscrub.jpg

[@pewsician2388]

+stp479 I hadn't ever seen that shot. Talk about ahead of your time. Makes me wonder why it's called the "Bubba Scrub" and not the "JoJo Scrub".

[@stp479]

+Chris Heath You are right, and if JoJo had gotten his fitness level consistent I think he'd have been able to do just that.

[@jdatwood7086]

+stp479 I raced NESC Moto x in the mid to late 90's. I enjoyed watching JoJo rip it up. Man was that guy fast! He was a very well respected racer. Used to give all the top guys of that time a run for their money.

[@ryanpeterson9951]

Imagine this style of riding in 79’ Dang!

[@JETZcorp]

I just came back from a vintage race. The fastest guy there was on a literal barn-find 1975 Maico 250. The thing had blown shocks, half the seat foam missing, horrifically toast rear wheel bearing, 40psi in the rear, a flat front tire, bare uninsulated ignition wires hanging down, pipe not fixed to the cylinder by any means other than the REAR pipe mount, and a chain that 2 hours before had been so rusted that it would stand up on its own (he doused it in WD-40 for the race). The dude got huge air time and left the entire field for dead by half a lap, which included some 90s Revo-2 class bikes. I think it's fair to say he had the single worst bike there that day. A Maico is an excellent machine, but his was completely toast after sitting in a shed for 40 years. Dude inherited it, put on some tires, soaked the chain in WD and went racing. Absolute madlad. The rider is everything.

[@chriscardoza9714]

That's why l like yamahas there Where some of the best bikes made back in the day....

[@careyquigg563]

I want more like this

[@TheOfficialBDPMedias]

Just amazing guys! Such a cool style of shooting!

[@ericbrandt8675]

My next restoration project a 79 250F is out there waiting to be finished so it can put me into the hospital......

[@ShaunSavage-kl9pd]

Seat tank mounts my 79 needs. Gotta hook coil up front brake clutch cable airbox and element

[@KINGYAMAHA]

I have this bike in my garage. The rebuild starts today

[@AbcAbc-ox6pg]

Perfect, the 1979 is a wonderful bike. Did you finish it?

[@641Duke]

more more more more!!!!!

[@chadkennedy529]

So glad my riding career started in the early 90s..did you see that thing dancing threw the corners! Lol looked like a crackhead in a break dancing contest. You were the man to be any kind of good rider back then.

[@markussgraudins9304]

that sound omg :))

[@scottbacken4853]

I had a 78' YZ 250 brand new, Hayward Yamaha cost $1299 out the door. I rode that to death, 2 pistons later the bike was worn out. The best most reliable bike I ever had.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I think you could have gotten it for less than that. I bought a new 1979 YZ125 in 1980, (left over at the dealership), for $850.00.

[@shannonyoung887]

Just beautiful, and the next years model was a quantum leap forward - Yamaha swept all classes in B-O-Y in 1980. My 1980YZ125G slayed waterpumpers for years in the straights. It was under 190lbs dry weight.

[@JETZcorp]

80 was a great year for Yamaha. But, in 81 they got put back in their place in Open class.

[@ryanwatson275]

Awesome!

[@lilballer4206]

I got 2 1977 yz250

[@ВасилийКаракай]

Super!

[@jonsingle1614]

Its not antique if I remember drooling over one on the showroom floor when they were brand new !

[@brianmorrison9066]

Wow. This guy rides a 79 better than i ride my 2019

[@JarrydMcNeil]

haha cheers mate

[@deborahchesser7375]

So cool to a classic be ridden at that level instead of some squid poppin down the street. New bike? Nah, 80% rider 20% bike anyway. Sounds like the day it rolled off the line.

[@scooter5193]

Rides the old school bike as it was meant to be ridden! Cool to see.

[@jaipatten4757]

Looks like a crazy track, can vurbmoto do a GoPro/helmet cam of the track

[@kenharris8743]

I didn't know old bikes could do that it is definitely the writer why buy a new one I just need to get better.

[@davidhilton5414]

And that, folks, is why the average guy doesn’t need to worry about what the shootouts say, or need a modern bike at all haha.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

MXA today is a sales brochure today compared to MXA of the 70's-80's and 90's. When you bought a bike back then after reading their review(s), you knew what you were getting in every aspect of the bike. Picked up a 2019 YZ250 2-stroke after 18 years off a bike and after reading the MXA vague review. The bike was a total surprise, and I had done a lot of work to it to make it a great bike. Glad I learned how to do all that stuff back in the day.

[@channel1_channel]

ooooooooh yeah

[@MrRod0]

👍WOW!

[@mikecanam9477]

I watched it, Twice.

[@59plexi]

funnest bike he will ever ride!!

[@gruntabro1]

Must of had a ton of suspension work , but yea nice ride

[@JETZcorp]

Aside from the whips, they ride hard like this when these bikes were new. I'd imagine this bike probably has a fresh rebuilt rear shock, emulators in the front which are cheap and easy, then springs spec'd for his weight. Even with an old bike like this, setup is still 90% of it. Good setup beats good technology every time.

[@backwoodsslayer2006]

I have an 81 yz250 thing is like Riding a rock. This guy throws it around like a new 125. You know how to ride bro.

[@douglaslangham4417]

Damn it. Now there's nut everywhere.

[@gamergirlkayla199]

+OTHGbronco82 ROFL! I forward this video to my Father... I think may have nutted himself also... He use to have a 79 YZ 250 and seen many of photos of it.

[@OTHGbronco82]

The only way it could be better is if it was a full 40 man gate of pro's on 125's.

[@eamh2002]

What a sound o_o I wonder how much hp that thing makes?

[@JETZcorp]

Stock they were around 30hp at the tire. Built, they can be made to match a modern YZ for power, although the powerband is always going to be a bit narrower without YPVS.

[@lyonking6193]

Braaaaaaaaaap!

[@gailtaylor1636]

I remember the Yamahop well. Put YZ suspension on my 1978 IT175. It was a much better bike than the one that followed (1980 IT175) IMO. Motor sucked on the 80 model but suspension/chassis was probably better. Still did the hop though.

[@deborahchesser7375]

I had an 86 200 with YZ 250 susp

[@steveanthrop192]

Damn! When was the last time you heard brake chatter? I'll bet a lot of you have never heard it. lol

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Chain chatter.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

If a dirt bike and tracks got as easy to ride as plopping your butt in a Lazy Boy Recliner Chair, will everybody be bragging about how much talent they have? :)

[@ChaseJasperDown]

Dude this was awesome! It's clear to see you guys have a plethora of styles and that's really great! What fps are you guys shooting in?

[@JesseAnsley]

+Chase Jasper Down I don't want to speak for Jacob (the creator of the video) but Jacobs owns a Sony SF700. The real time is most likely shot in 1080 30fps and the slomo is shot on a special buffer in the camera which can be at 120,240,and 480. More than likely the shots in this video are shot in 240fps.

[@ChaseJasperDown]

Jesse Ansley Films Wow! That was very helpful. Thank you!

[@richardbaldock7287]

I had 2 of those one to ride and one for parts, bad ass is all I can say

[@marcusfistarol8270]

I think , that bike has never been whipped before like this....wow

[@GWEKMEW]

im 14 and i have the same bike

[@jefferyobryan6351]

When I was 17 I thought if I could just get that bike I could be a rich man. Little more complicated...

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Well, I have a buddy, now 61 who built his own mini bike with parts at 8 years old around 1968, because his Mom would not buy him one, and today he makes all the Indian Motorcycle gas tanks and fenders (and other customers also), out of Lowell Michigan, (Envision Engineering). He got rich. He still rides too, (and still fast), but now he rides in places like Costa Rica for fun. Production or poverty. The only choice really. :)

[@MegaPancakes111]

Where is that track?

[@swemx7403]

So typical of this generation of youtubers. This video is perfect with no annoying background music that is so fking loud, you cant hear the engine. And ofc the fking camera changes all the time. This is simple, clean, best quality video of a dirt bike. And it got only 1tn likes???? Piss off youtube, fking hypocrites.

How the riding style has changed, Hannah, Bailey, Omara were all styling back then but not even close to this kid, use to a bike was ridden upright now its ridden horizontal
