Silly Squid getting Sketchy on 2020 KX250F

First ride in 5 or 6 weeks since I broke the joint near the tip of my finger. It's still crooked and a little painful but I can hold onto the bars fine enough to ride. The track was extremely dry and slippery. The conditions combined with my lack of riding recently made for a sketchy day haha. Thanks for watching!

The squid going across the screen was epic! LOL Great video!

[@DerekHallman]

hahahah it felt appropriate for my riding display

[@typetrouski1543]

Honestly man I love your videos. It’s nice to see just someone with a comparable skill level of riding rather than watching pros all the time. Huge Kawasaki guy also. But videos are great man keep up the good work🤟

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching dude! I rode like poo in this video but I don't mind sharing my bad days, it's all in good fun! What bike do you ride?

[@mgmx_racing]

I have a yz85 🙂

[@willlucas1032]

4:59 when his foot blew off my heart stopped lmao Weight the outside peg boys

[@DanMX2112]

Love the content lately, glad your finger is good to go again!!!

[@DerekHallman]

I'm so glad to be back riding! I have a ton of videos ready for the next few weeks 🤙🤙

[@Ord750]

Derek Hallman awesome, cant wait to see them.

[@schmittyyyyy]

I have loved watching your channel grow ever since I subscribed. I have been with the channel for a year now, keep up the good work!

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks Mario!

[@rasanen5661]

Oh you are the pure 2 stroke man :) Those videos are the best!

[@theshark6743]

It’s about damn time I get to watch Derek Hallman again, good content!

[@DerekHallman]

Hey thanks man!

[@AlanBlumling]

Nice video man. The track looked like it would be awesome in the right conditions. I’m glad the yz is still running prime.

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks dude yeah the YZ is still rippin!

[@l-xll-zombie-llx1112]

If your struggling to get speed for a corner jump try and stay on the outside but keep it consistent throttle, love the content bin here a long time and still loving the content

[@bswiat1756]

2:25 I fully expected you to go into that pool of water

[@onlygazza]

How on earth your still in one piece amazes me, fair play 😂👍

[@DerekHallman]

somehow 🤣

[@craigsteinman9807]

That was not as squiddly as u think Derek..unfamiliar track..very slick and long step down was very tricky ..come up short or too long is gonna leave a mark..nice ride bro

[@rrrigbyyy]

I just got a kx 85, so much fun.

[@DerekHallman]

Nice!

[@xd_gangster693]

if i had the money id get this bike and if my local dealers had any in stock. great video!

[@ED-on8to]

How you get such high quality footage?? It looks so clean. That‘s awesome! 😃👍

[@tomatoknuckles]

Good to see you back out ripping dude🤙

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks dude I'm so happy to be riding again!

[@bikelifesoldier5412]

I dub thee Squidward! LoL Solid vid bro. Good ride👊✌

[@IndiWoolley]

Awesome video I want a dirt bike

[@fabriciosahian899]

Love your videos

[@henshawranch4059]

Try to stretch ur gears out more, ur were some jumps in a gear that u could’ve been hitting in a lower gear, keep those RPM’s high that’s why u weren’t clearing that step down, just some tips love the videos

[@moistnuuget6997]

Damn I wish this track was open seems like such a good place for an intermediate rider.

[@matthewg174]

Derek do you like the all green plastics on the 2020 kx250?

[@mcg8908]

I just bought bought a 2018 kxf for my first 4 stroke bike after seeing yours and its got to be the best turning out there

[@BrockHarper]

Sick track mate! Keen to try get my little track looking a bit better so I can make dope videos like yours!

[@tylerlemon9088]

Duude same I always seem to constantly get so sketchy at that track for some reason

[@DerekHallman]

I felt like I forgot how to ride haha

[@matthewrichards881]

You can for sure hit that step down. You just need the next gear and about 1/4 throttle. I train here all the time on my 85.

[@matthewrichards881]

Just finished the video. You hit it haha.

[@masonlopes9735]

you should get an fmf 4.1 would really make that bike perfect

[@Bumpyfn250]

Love your videos keep it up

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks, will do 🤙

[@jacobgibata1207]

Nice video🔥

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks man

[@caseyharrell7541]

Hey buddy don’t stay on the gas so hard coming off the lip of a jump keep a steady or low throttle you will get thrown sideways a lot less 👍🏻 I like the track cool vid

[@caseyharrell7541]

Like on the very last jump of the video you were on it hard and it threw you sideways let off a little at the lip of the jump

[@johndoe-ly8jt]

Fell off my 125 and fractured my finger in December but the weird thing is I still have pain. Idk if it’s normal or what. I continue to ride and everything but the pain is still there and it’s been 7 months.

[@DerekHallman]

Yeah my finger is still crooked and still painful if I squeeze hard on the grips haha

[@mrdirtbike1581]

You should get a 450 and love the squid

[@ED-on8to]

1:57 Your seat-bounce looks sketchy... 😬😂

[@DerekHallman]

Haha it was. It was the first time I ever tried seat bouncing.

[@haydenpowell2555]

Lol just got my 2020 kx250 I love it

[@mr.channel6467]

What gear were you Manley in?

[@scottynap77]

Where are you riding at on here?

[@Chanthagod]

Was your handle bars bent or...

[@colbycourter9261]

I broke that same exact spot on the same hand like a month ago that’s weird

[@mma5616]

What is better 2 or 4stroke?

[@moenfam2098]

Was he sitting through the jumps? Lol

[@DerekHallman]

I was seat bouncing a step up out of a left hand turn yes.

[@jared6163]

Damn gotta get that corner speed up

Definitely

This is Random but you kinda sound like Cam Haller 😂😂

Pin it in the corners it might seem scary but you need to do that especially with 250s

[@BoostedFB6]

Should get the squid motofin

Mail me one

I thought Patrick had a RM-Z450

[@DerekHallman]

He still has the RMZ450, but he also has a YZ125 😁

How’s ur finger?

me still wondering if derek is gonna get a 2 stroke or not 👁👄👁

Yes! Money is tight but it's still in the plans

They remove the track near my house now i cant ride anymore😪

[@illuforce]

Do you have any trails.

[@victor144__]

motocross is not only jump, you are only focus in jumps

[@DerekHallman]

Not at all. Most of the day we practiced cornering.

[@victor144__]

Derek Hallman 👌🏽👌🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[@iBehalez]

You really need to work on squeezing your legs to the bike. Because the reason why you get sketchy when jumping is because you become a crash test dummy in the air. Not only that but the bike goes wherever it feels like to go

[@DerekHallman]

The track was just like riding on ice my man. Concrete with a layer of extremely dry sand on top made my rear end slide all over the place. The ruts in the faces of the jumps were hard as concrete so if you weren't perfectly centered and balanced it would kick you. When I ride on a prepped track with some moisture in the soil I'm much better 🤙

[@iBehalez]

@@DerekHallman ok my bad, i just saw this and you were riding sketchy and just thought about giving you tips and I know how it feels when it's sand powder on top of a hard-pack track

[@DerekHallman]

@@iBehalez oh no doubt I rode like poo in this video haha! Been almost two months since I rode and the conditions were difficult.

[@felixb9673]

Push a Gear down!!!

[@felixb9673]

And give gas man! You don‘t need a 250.

[@DerekHallman]

I was riding a gear higher than usual because the track was extremely slippery, like riding on ice. It was hard concrete with a layer of dry dry saw dust on top.

[@felixb9673]

Derek Hallman okay sorry bro💪
