[@ashsowman]

While you're watching this in amazement keep in mind that this is Adrians very first lap around the track, there was no sight lap before the race, he knows nothing more about what's coming than you!

[@aquamountainproductions]

Sowman Films have Adrian and Josh Donald raced??

[@ashsowman]

Yes many times, Josh was in this race and you actually see Josh at the beginning of the race in Adrian's perspective from the 2016 edition of this race: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKeVeKGclJKpjKM

[@ashsowman]

+joerover22 You and me both brother!

[@Micscience]

Straight up. I'm just 3 minutes in and I'm loving it.

[@MLaudio20]

One of my FAV vids on youtube! Always find myself coming back to watch the first part of it. Pumps me up to ride and makes me proud to be an owner of the 250FX. Good stuff

[@davewalton2358]

That was awesome!! Almost busted my chair leaning through the corners....

[@bilboandhiggins]

Ummm ya... Adrian is a master. Every time I think I'm fast I see one of these guys riding like they're possessed. Puts it in perspective. One of the best POV videos I've ever seen. Probably THE best. One of the best courses I've ever seen too. Much respect Adrian

[@SNelens]

Nice riding! Even more impressive when you notice its his 1st lap. Good to see the organisers have saved the club's money & the environment by not using very many track markers...

[@ashsowman]

SNelens Haha yeah there was a bit of confusion!

[@blake9957]

Even though Im a two stroker joker. I must say Amazing Bike!

[@bananacatmatt7837]

Man that YZ250FX sure handle this well and so does the rider X3

[@ashsowman]

SwitchTheMotoFox Sure does!

[@Tom-it6gi]

This is the best motorbike content. Going through beautiful countryside, very fast.

[@Quicksmokeqt]

[@leomagon2661]

[@jaymoto9820]

Had to re watch one of my favorites...still pumps me up.

[@ashsowman]

Haha, that's awesome! Glad you're still enjoying this classic, I re watch it every now and then too.

[@olivert7850]

Jay Moto I think I’ve watched this video at least 4 times

[@krete69]

[@jordanlawrence1264]

This is the sickest video ive ever seen! Wicked track and mint bike! Braaaap

[@markmtbrider]

wow not very technical but way fast course. like a desert race here in the states, but you are skirting cliffs. crazy ,but very exciting riding !

[@roadracer42]

Ha i watched the whole thing thinking this guys wringing that 450's neck, then see description its a 250! Awesome stuff! Home grown talent is great to watch.

[@ashsowman]

roadracer42 He's impressive isn't he? I'm a bit like you, I would much rather watch this footage than GNCC footage for instance.

[@qbedenduro8637]

Awesome track .. The YZ was screeeeeeeeeeaming :) Great job

[@Stylelss]

Gorgeous track... awesome riding....

[@kiwijohn01]

Holy shit Adrian ! Much respect...I was freaking out just watching :) The wife thought I was having a stroke...

[@liammurphy6153]

[@evanmansfield9043]

[@orange5ah]

[@milomindabinda8115]

[@iforce2d]

[@pepebrown35]

Who won? how many laps were it? Amazing, I loved it!

[@southpaw6167]

Fun for wide open riding. Pretty smooth by American standards. Hope to make it to New Zealand some day.

[@mikeowen6605]

Your in gargar land champ, there's no run offs in this terrain just helicopter rides.

[@olivert7850]

If you know someone that’s on the fence about getting the 250FX. Show them this video

[@martinis6967]

Beautiful track. must've felt great riding there

[@matthewtoes7329]

The WR is a real weapon in the right hands When he was along side that ktm the Yamaha had the legs good rider.

[@SwiftysFN]

Matthew Toes Its not a WR lol.

[@triss87tr]

Awesome bro. This guy is a machine...wish i could ride like that. Everyone be sure to check out Johnny walker enduro vids, he is pretty hectic aswell.

[@justcruisin7420]

Awesome riding I wish is was riding that track 😀

[@flaviomichelin5885]

andou sozinho... parabéns.... toca muito....

[@matthiasschulze393]

he's fast dude but the course certainly wasn't very challenging, he didn't even bother with handguards, mostly just logging roads from turn of the century...beautiful place to ride especially those fields of low bowling green grass...

[@markmtbrider]

i was wondering where paul went after his days here.i met him at scott summers place once.....big fan.

[@endurobosk5319]

Yamaha has amazing power!!

[@benveper8984]

The power of a Yamaha 4 stroke

[@grantoyamaha]

Awesome riding , love the bike , yamaha's rule .

[@chrigul1]

If this Rider doesn`t know the track then I he has my biggest respect!!!

[@79djk]

What a nice track! I live in tassie and here we have no tracks at all!

[@alonsocabezon1]

[@chinesekid7000]

[@rubberducky41]

I have the same bike....so pleased with it. thanks Yamaha

[@randyreynolds6508]

this guy is ignorantly fast. I'm had the butterfly feeling when he has hauling ads on the hills sides with drop offs!

[@ashsowman]

+Randy Reynolds Gives you goosebumps doesn't it. Plenty more gun riders perspectives coming this year so be sure stay tuned!

[@rshutterbug47]

That Was Wild Great Riding 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ashsowman]

Mark G Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed that little touch!

[@jimi8fun235]

great marked course a luxury in 80,s uk enduros

[@markmtbrider]

darn ! that 250fx has some top end speed. motor built up or stock?

[@ashsowman]

+markmtbrider Bone stock, the only aftermarket part on this bike is the fuel tank.

[@markmtbrider]

great stuff.

[@krasiplovdiv]

+Sowman Films what about the gearbox....im new in this but, isnt it with rekluse cluch?

[@ashsowman]

+Красимир Карагяуров Like I said, the bike is bone stock he is just flatshifting.

[@masonb4582]

Awesome! Was this on the original dunlop at81?

[@ashsowman]

+Mason B No way, the original tyres would be destroyed after one lap! From memory he runs Michelin Starcross 5 tyres.

[@loganschrieber8473]

far out hes doing well havent seen him for awhile last time i saw him he was on a 2 stroke.

[@ashsowman]

+Logan Schrieber He did a lot of winning on that YZ250 two stroke, this was his first year on the four stroke and by the looks of things he's liking it!

[@pimschoeber7920]

That sound though

[@chiwi9887]

Bro, do you have any tips that can help me ride almost as good as this guy. He is obviously well above my skill level but how does he know that there isnt a giant bluff over the next crest or a little log that will throw him off his bike? Thnx for the upload. Love seeing nz talent

[@ashsowman]

Sheldon burrows Well I suppose he looks as far ahead as he can when he gets a chance and that gives him a rough idea of what's coming but apart from that I have no idea how to ride like this!

[@geoffbeyer1873]

The only bitch about getting out front is sussing the track while racing... I miss the South, rides like these most weekends all over the place, as well as the Nut Buster. This is some pretty sick riding for your look lap, the next time round must've been a blast!

[@mrsocka1945]

how fast he go ?

[@mrcolorful4571]

[@pmt9349]

[@valbeaumont8402]

This is more cross-farmland than cross-country.

[@ashsowman]

It gets more offroady' from 8:00 on and since when did farmland sections make it any less of a cross country?

[@maxbrown8268]

Eny one now the cc
