Crash Pax Trax Mx 1/1/23 on the 2023 KTM 300sx

This was Day 2 of our Pax Traxx visit. Toward the end of the day started to get tired and make stupid mistakes. I Should have pulled off and ended prior this but I did not. learned the lesson the hard way. No injuries to note. The particular jump I crashed on was starting to get a pretty rutted up face so I was looking for a smooth line that lead me in an off track excursion. Can only blame myself for this one. Crash is at the end of the video if you want to skip ahead.

that track looks sick

Glad you were okay. Cross rutting really sucks.

very true!

Wooton baby 😂😂😂

[@alphahousemotocrew225]

Felt that one lol

[@trace18101]

Yeah man. Wasn’t a fun crash. I jumped up so fast because I was totally convinced I broke my leg. At one time during the dismount it got caught between the forks and the frame.

@@trace18101 ouch well glad you walked away, one of my riders was out there right around the same time as you track looks amazing wish I could've went down with my buddy maybe next time

Niceeeeee

[@johnnyvivic8730]

Did you get caught in a rut? Almost looked like when you went off you were going to whip it to the left but went straight instead.

[@trace18101]

unfortunately this wreck was due to nothing cool but just regular old poor track awareness and mental fatigue lol. I found that the left side of the jump face was smoother than the right and just one of those time I went a little to far left. There is a small chance that I also could have cross rutted but I really do believe I am the one to blame for this.

@@trace18101 That has happened to me before. I believe fatigue has played a part in many of my crashes. Glad you came out unscathed. Sick bike btw! I bet that 300 gives wicked arm pump. I have a 250sx and get way more arm pump on it than on my 250F.

“Whoooooo baby” he said…. Ha. It was all good till it wasn’t.

[@trace18101]

@@johnnyvivic8730 surprisingly my arm pump from my 250sxf to the 300sx doesn’t seem to change. The 300 produces power a little different than most big bore 2 strokes so it’s not so abrupt. If you get a chance, you should ride one. It’s well worth it.

[@johnnyvivic8730]

@@trace18101 I believe I will try one! This is great to hear. I switched out my 36mm carb on my 250sx with a 38mm carb, and it has a lot more power, but it is a bit more abrupt and radical with the delivery. Perhaps I will go back to the 36mm and see if that reduces arm pump. I have never ridden a 300 though, so the possibility of it being even smoother does intrigue me!
