Chad Reed Riding His '04 Championship Bike at St Louis Supercross 2022

What's better than the sound and smell of a 2-Stroke? Hearing and smelling Chad Reed's '04 Championship Bike during the opening ceremonies of St Louis Supercross!! Chad ended up spinning several laps around The Dome at America's Center, and led all of the modern bikes with his old-school premix machine!!
Thanks to @kardyphoto for the thumbnail shot!

@3:19 oh my god, that two stroke stadium echo brings back so many memories

[@joshuaross4644]

2 stroke in the stadium 🏟 The Sound of Heaven on Earth 🤙

[@RogueRipple]

God that bike sounds awesome echoing through the stadium! Chad giving the people what they want! Him back on the Yamaha on the SX track! Brought back good memories and I'm sure great ones for you too, Chad an Ellie! Glad you landed that sketchy one!

[@swedish_sadhguru3854]

Indeed! I would pay A LOT to see a race with all the old giants like McGrath, Carmichael, Reed, Travis Pastrana together. I hope someone can make this happen. And OF COURSE they need to race their old bikes too!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I would rather see adds for Race Tech, FMF, Pro Circuit, etc. Not YT crap that will cut chad off mid sentence. Support what is left of our free market in this industry, not YT state run commie crap.

Nothing beats the sound and the smell of a 2 stroke. Well maybe 20, 2 strokes!

15:15 brought a slight tear to my eye, the icon that got me into this sport, hitting a supercross finish on a two stroke one last time and celebrating... great to see one last time

[@boblarry7879]

Man hearing the echo of that 2-stroke gave me goosebumps. So glad I grew up in the 2-stroke era.

[@gailyoung9911]

THEY SHOULD HAVE A 125 AND 250 CLASS. THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY IN THE 2 STROKES. IT HONESTLY JUST SOUNDS LIKE HOME.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

You don't understand the force of the EPA. "They" will not do it. "They" don't think this sport is needed or "essential". It is up to "We the people" to save what we built, but "we" don't understand what is causing the decline.

I was cheering for Reed when he was battling with Stewart in ‘09 for the SX title. He’s a freaking awesome human being. A true champion not in just motocross, but life. It’s athletes like him, is why I love this sport so much.

That's what motocross and supercross are supposed to sound like.

[@rubyxfinity8634]

LOVE THAT ECHO! You reminded us of how much FUN it used to be watching these 2-strokes indoors. That wonderful smell of small engine oil, and that thunderous echo of almost 2 dozen bikes all throttling at once! Pace did awesome.

crazy at 30 years old i can remember seeing you killing it when i was your kids age, brings a little tear to my eye seeing you out there sending it. im sure as cool as it had to be for eli riding beside you, you had to feel the exact same way riding beside eli. two of the coolest guys in the sport! love to see you send an outdoor or even a1 next year.

Literally got the chills hearing and seeing you ride in the stadium on a 2 stroke. By far one of the coolest things. Wish I was there to witness it.

That was hands down one of the best videos of chad ever!! I loved the finish line it looked so much like y’all’s closing of him winning back in the day so awsome!!!🤘🏽💯

[@keithtarrier4558]

"Here comes the up and coming young Chad Reed, he will be one to keep on an eye on" Is what I heard at the Brisbane Entertainment Center in the late 1990's... and I have "kept my eye on him" ever since. And even more awesome to see him with his kids at this age, stage of his life too.

[@jaredhoward7252]

Cha d and his wife are super nice.My son had to have his attention to show the sign he made for him at Washougal mx.Actually the only kid with a sign that day.After all the signing and hoopla was way over,Chad and his wife came out to give my son a moment, I never forget that.Thank you Reeds.

[@motomojo9229]

This is the nostalgia I needed

[@morganmontgomery679]

Seeing the bike in person and hearing it in the stadium was what made my first supercross experience the best. Thank you for that experience chad!

[@Never_Too_Soon]

Been a supercross fan for 30 years. Finally made it to my first race. Was amazing to watch this live and just imagine the sound and smell of 22 of these things ripping like my childhood.

[@Hassy]

...That blue machine still sounds like pure magic...💙💙

Hairs on my arms and neck were standing on end watching CR22 riding through the woops....very emotional moment .... awesome

oh man literal chills hearing a two stroke on the whoops!

[@scottpella7419]

So cool! I didn't realize that you hot-lapped it with Tomac. It's gotta be pretty surreal out there on that 04'! Even crazier to think that when you were killing it in the 04' Supercross season, Eli was only 11 years old! LOL

[@dirtydave2691]

Man he pretty much flatlanded off the huge table top jump when he was having throttle problems......and barely a wobble. Chad's racing was always exciting to watch as he always seemed to give 100% to win.

[@tylerberry2476]

Luv hearing the YZ 250 2-stroke echoing through the stadium for the pre-race !! Your Awesome Chad Reed ! Your a Awesome Dad and husband ! Always a world- class Rider !! Thanks for being the Good in this world !!! 👍👍😎

[@jamesb1969b]

Such a great event! The smell of racing fuel and dirt! We were right behind the guys who run the spider cam. Right above the third to last whoop! We didn't even realize it was a triple crown until we were almost there. Then to top it off got to see Chad Reed live! AWESOME day for me and my boys. Watching Reed ride was what got me into watching Supercross so many years ago. My first favorite rider. Still a fan! So is my wife. She was bummed she didn't go. Can't wait for next year! Was 30 feet from where Wilson crashed. That injury was nasty! Could see the blood running down his pant. The look on the Alpine Medical teams faces said it all. Glad he's doing better. Awesome video!

[@peeonu25]

You know that steel frame flexed in all the right places. Before you flat landed, those reeds were singing. You landed with just enough wheel speed to keep you going forward, from a 22-foot fall.

[@JacksonD489]

One of the cleanest looking factory bikes everrr! That thing is ripping...

[@michaelgrubbs1618]

The hardest part of the track for most current pro riders. Is not even an issue with you Chad. Nice job. Not to froggy pal.

[@mikebrown41182]

Scary moment with the throttle. A mortal man would have panic and faceplanted. For Chad, probably scary but his natural instinct trying to correct the bike and himself and actually ride it out, technique of a champion. And what is there to say? Two stroke’s factory tuned it simply cant get much better. #22

[@resk1130]

Chads helmet was sick!!!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I thought so too, I love carbon fiber stuff. But the white plastic around the eye opening? Big, cheap and robotic looking. I would rather just have good rubber edge molding, like Bell helmets of 1979. You will be cleaning that white plastic more than your goggle lenses, and it makes a great helmet look cheap to me.

[@echidna1263]

Wow best thing I've watched in ages. You rock Chad

[@hellrazer4565t]

Chills n tears of joy

[@wonkywheels1037]

Had a throttle stay open a couples of times. Really scares you at the time and trusting it wont happen again. I've just restored a YZ 250 1989 and a face lift to my YZ250F 2003. I'm an old chap and do vintage mx (Aus) now and then. My brother pointed out my race number, 103. I think that number was Chad's number when to he first went to SX. Cheers.

[@buffmuff6153]

The last clip of Chad on the smoker was wild. Still has pro speed on a 2t

Such a mix of feelings! I remember Chad when he raced the lites class and then moving up, raced Ricky and then James, those times where awesome!!! I don’t think those battles exist now! That was pure heart racing.. I gotta say I was not a fan of Chad at that time but I’m a huge fan of the sport and what they did for the sport is huge! Massive respect for the thunder from down under!
