AMA Pro ATV Motocross Racer Chad Wienen Interview at his Motocross Track in Galena, IL before a practice session that goes wrong with Chad snapping his axle on his Kawasaki KFX450R ATV

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Champ. Ruthless in the rollers.

[@cwirtz1854]

Who would have thought it would be 2020 and Chad would have multiple ATVMX titles with Yamaha

[@arptv806]

IKR i went back to this vid and was like WAIT WHAT THATS WIENEN LOL

[@rockinbass01]

Damn what a beast. Wienen is awsome he takes the crash like nothing. Wonder what kind of axle he uses? They need to make a thicker industructable axle for that boy.

[@TheRedneckboyy]

this video is the biggest inspiration video to me. i have watched it thousands of times and it makes me wanna become a pro rider so bad im 16 but the way the economy is my parents cant pay the bills and theres no way they can pay for racing so im a junoir in high school my senoir year im going to buy a new 450 and start paying my own way im saving up for that new 450. mine has about had it so i just want to thank chad for helping me be inspired and im going to pursue my dream

[@867diesel]

so hows the racing going . its been 7 years I hope you was able to follow the dream

[@markfreeman408]

He flat landed the shit out of that.

[@visuallife3814]

markfreeman408 lol

[@Willon1Wheel]

Shut up mark

[@cagetech]

The Kawi had nothing to do with him wrecking, that was just an axle failure. But he did get a face full of the hood!!! Wienen is the man!!!

[@hmftrx300ex]

@pktillidie hes a racer. his quad is fully kitted out. hes hardly going to use the stock one which is not as wide

[@RussellCreekCompound]

Wienen, your an axle snaping BEAST! haha

[@jcquadracing]

wienen is my favorite rider of all time!

[@HoleshotMX12]

breaking an axle has nothing to do with what brand of quad it is. i doubt it was a stock axle anyways

[@SteveMillerJr]

Nice laid back dude, and one tough SOB!

[@maranelloo18]

fuck that crash scares me :( tomorow I'm going to train at track but that shit is stucked in my mind

[@KfxHeardheadz585]

@rockinbass01 they run lonestar excaliber axles. best you can get

[@josephstroud-oj6tj]

Well that escalated quickly

[@scotturban54]

this guy is just a straight up winner lol

[@fourwheelerjock]

yea any axle can break because as you can see in the vid he over shot that jump and basicly hit the ground with no land ramp from50 feet or more so yea probaly any axle would break

[@cagetech]

He did hit the face of the next take off. He landed in the flat between the landing of the jump and take off of the next. Take 5 seconds and think about it...

[@RPDXC]

thats the best way to land a jump if your gonna overshoot it. Especially since he basically landed on an uphill. Im suprised he didn't crack his kneecap. Looked as if his knee landed right on the a-arm.... OUCH! And my god there are alot of dumb comments. Bigred- He didn't switch to can-am because his axle broke.. DUH! Syngatessr, refer to colby's comment. Rapter700blue, did you not see how hard he landed? I don't care what axle he was using, he would of snapped any axle, regardless.

[@soylientgreen7218]

Ryan De Vries mobius

[@afdiazs]

i think that was a lonesatr axle....they suck get RPM DOMINATOR II axle they are the best out in the market

[@darthnater22]

@Yamahas1234 lol the same thing would happen to a yamaha missing the landing on a 50ft jump goin around 50+

[@cdogmotocross]

Give me an explanation for the ktm's then

[@IceCreamSteve1]

well i never thought if that perspective sounds like sense to me.

[@cagetech]

You do realize when you case something that means you come up short right? Please watch the video again, he was far from casing it...

[@syngatesrr83]

damn that had to hurt. i dont get why he was reving though he should have hit the brake and brought the front down

[@tjsdaname]

thats not why he revved..... he revved to get the front end up in the air more... thats the best way to land if you overshoot a jump.... and I bet you he wasn't even the least bit scared and did not panic at all lol

[@joeypatterson566]

no the other kid i commented back said if it was a Yamaha that would of not happened go look at his comment

[@joeypatterson566]

@yamaha69x It's a aftermarket axel so yamaha has nothing to do with it

[@fox13z400]

One moto in one race. Put that up against Wimmers record. And yea ur probably right Wienen is a big contender this year. Hes deffinatly got a shot at it but will he make it, idk. But like i said im guna stick with teal suzuki and Wimmer.

[@Jkylex]

Mark freeman commented on here :p

[@tjc97cobramustang]

That sucks, wienen is the man

[@tjsdaname]

he was revving to get the front end up in the air more.... thats the best way to land if you overshoot a jump... if he would have been nose down he probably would have went to the hospital....lol

[@brandonquenneville7330]

Most people would be in the hospital after a landing like that*

[@mulisha0351]

this is why i race dirtbikes! it seems the quad wrecks are more dangerous than the bikes!

[@Caseykilby15]

You can ride moto all you want but four wheels is better than 2

[@IceCreamSteve1]

he was panicking "panic rev" put your self in that situation, you would shit your pants, i know i would.

[@Johnnyboiyy]

dam well thats going to happen once in a while got to get back up and keep riding!

[@dirt23bike]

I know he's professional and all, but didn't that seem pretty stupid. And he was on his own track!

[@hmftrx300ex]

hes obvously using an aftermarket axle....

[@slograndam]

Most pro's will use as stock as the quad as they can get because when they get on there race bike it makes them 10 times faster on the track... simple logic.

[@That_Teal_fummins]

WOW!! there needs to be more professional kawi riders

[@88Mgrunt]

Thank gosh for helmets looks like got some whiplash there.

[@darthnater22]

no he just completely overshot that landing and his shit bottomed out.

[@cagetech]

Well that shows your biased opinion right there. I have been a fan of Chad Wienen since he came out in 2007 at Mill Creek on his privateer Honda and smoked EVERYONE including Joe Byrd, Dustin, Wimmer, and the rest of the pros. I have nothing against Wimmer, but I do believe that if Chad doesn't run into any problems he will beat everyone. He proved that a Lorettas this year, when he came from WAY behind and passed everyone in moto 2

[@b58mikey]

well this aged well lol.. your predicted the future

[@bmxer555]

HOLY FUCK!

[@fox13z400]

@jigg1414 hey incase ur watching the standing in atv pro mx series. i was right. Wienen isn't a threat to suzuki and like i said the only one that would be able to take wimmer's record away is creamer and i was right, cause he's winning, but he's still on a suzuki!!!!

[@alexmolinar5090]

Wienen is a huge threat now a days, I bet you regret ever speaking such nonsense...worm

[@fox13z400]

@@alexmolinar5090 Why would I regret what I said? Everything I said still stands. He wasn't much of a threat when factory suzuki was still around. He is a great rider and I won't take that away from him, but the majority of the talent in the pro class, and the main teams all left the circuit, so of course he is a huge threat these days. Its pretty much just a battle between him and joel and that's it. So you can take your "worm" comment and shove it

[@BarbieChaite]

2:13

[@fox13z400]

Look i dont support cheating (at all) but if we have to be realistic theirs really only those two riders that can beat Wimmer. Ill give it to u. Wienen is great. And he can probably (maybe) beat byrd. Im a zuki fan so im guna stick with Wimmer

[@arptv806]

true ima zuki fan for life i love the LTR and i think wimmer was great but gust in my opinion will always be the best zuki rider there ever was i mean he took a LTZ400 to the win against 450s granite the 449cc yoshi backed motor would have been gnarly but still

[@That_Teal_fummins]

Obviously you have never rode one

[@60corey60]

thts why u wear va helmet...... man tht had 2 hurt glad ur alright >=P

[@ThePaintball53]

2:29 funny lol

[@cdogmotocross]

you mean kawasaki

[@fox13z400]

lol yea right. The only 2 pple that have a chance at wimmer r byrd and Creamer. Wienen is good but not as good as Wimmer yet. If Wimmer wrecks or something then Wienen will win

[@TerranMarineCore]

ooo weinen broke an axel.. shoulda stayed with suzuki lololololololol nice vid

[@raptorrider0772]

TerranMarineCore nah

[@raptorrider0772]

TerranMarineCore Yamaha is best

[@LolliWANG505]

[@Streetboarders732]

[@cbr600rrturbo]

[@____walle____1825]

[@kevmoto727]
