Brad drops the hammer at around 5:38 🚀

[@577buttfan]

He dropped it way before that.

[@ronchappel4812]

So deeply satisfying hearing a 500 at full noise

[@Chainsnsprockets402]

What a great old school MX track! Not one jump or man made obstacle and dirt looks amazing. Nice ride. Braaap

[@kevfinn8232]

I wish they'd go back to those tracks.

[@ronaldbabbitt6318]

86' CR500! Had one! Awesome Power 👊🤘🏻☠️🏁

[@PETERNESS]

Fitness plays a huge part ,Honda rider is in shape and a smart rider

[@mw6563]

Feel fortunate to have raced the “Open Class” 500’s in the 80’s. 35 of these things thundering into a first turn together was a real life experience.

[@creativeirrigationlighting941]

Smart CR500 rider. Staying in a higher gear coming out of the corners tap the clutch and he is gone!

[@JordanRocksWell]

its as if you are racing in the windows xp wallpaper

This is my kind of track for my CR500…awesome video.

[@mattyadams90]

nice bike cant wait build my 1987 kx500 now

[@SomethingKindaOoof]

Unlimited power! A CR500 haha Thanks for letting me know about this channel Ash! Obvs had to start with this as my friend had one of these and it's the only bike that scared me.. when that thing grips it rips! love it man thank you! Also.. there's nothing Brad can't handle hehe :D

[@CR250rSMITH]

perfect track for a 500, looks so fun

[@markokaria7654]

Wow excellent footage and great riding... i have an 86 and man o man does it wear me out just goofin around...thumbs up!

[@lucascady4992]

Beautiful Ride Brother! Fair Play, This is obviously a UK track, we have jumps, doubles, and even Triple's here in the USA! 😂

[@kentr2424]

Rode an 86 CR500 once - scared the living hell out of me!! Of course, I was about a hundred pounds lighter and was riding a 83 CR125 at the time......😁😁

[@Frollicking_Gurnard]

Mean race! Well done taming that beast

[@scottpeters8640]

I really wish my local tracks would resemble this track and not so much the ones that I ride for track days here, tracks that have really large jumps where half of them are blind jumps and you have to hope nobody is down where you can't see them. Sure, I could handle a few more jumps so long as they are more like natural terrain ledges and stuff, but this track, done up with modern track prep (disced and watered) would have me far more eager to ride closer to my best without concern over hucking the 85-foot table. Great video !!

[@rex.d4810]

This is the way mx should be. 2 strokes rule

[@pbmachines972]

Grew up riding both seems your ability to ride is the deciding factor ✌️

[@8180634]

Did he regain feeling in his fingers and toes yet? ;)

[@knoxent.3043]

The roost these things throw at you is ridiculous 😂

[@farmlife3800]

I want to race on a track like this in Australia. How do I do it?

[@farmlife3800]

What type of racing do you call this? Dirt track? I want to race like this in Australia.

[@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc]

[@stevecurd9113]

Abs fantastic

[@dune7824]

Nothing throws a rooster tail like a 500 two stroke.

[@bobbyblenio4571]

That’s what I’m Talkin Bout !…I Bet you Hit 70mph in those Long Straits🦾

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

Looks like 5th gear is actually needed here...

[@LPSrcbiker]

Needs one long low jump...

[@JJMLJ]

Awesome riding, but where's the jumps and berms?? How can that be a national track?

[@sarah-janelowrie2571]

Shot Ash! Shot Brad!

[@andrewmarshall360]

There’s no one that is capable of riding either of these bikes to 100% potential

Ever hear of tear-offs or roll-offs bruh?😂

[@anthonynicholich9654]

KX500 has a better motor

[@TopRevs]

No

[@stevecothren2254]

I’ve owned both bikes and the Cr500 will never touch the Kx500…. The kx500 is faster in every aspect

[@anthonynicholich9654]

@@stevecothren2254 Finally someone other than me with an open mind and knowledge and saying it how it is teaching these narrow-minded people that see Honda only! Followers. thank you.
