You guys have the best atv content! Love this channel! 🇺🇸 Edit: You should’ve been out there too Chad!

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Man you pulled over a lot more than what I thought that you were because after the first corner I followed you for a little bit but then you were gone but that one place where I got stuck in the creek for 20 minutes is where you went through pretty easy

[@theviking4525]

Yeah man I get gassed easy and my thumb and forearms give out

[@ononewheel7]

@justin sturghill trucking we need to tone those bars down a bit your over working yourself with them being so high 😬😬

[@DirtObseXXion]

Thanks brother! I was hoping to run into you at Hoosier but I underestimated the turnout of those races...

[@PhillyLS1]

@@DirtObseXXion yea, they can be a shitshow. The Indiana races, NY races (when we had them) and Snowshoe get crazy. The atmosphere and how cool people are make it more tolerable to come in last lol. After Snowshoe we go on break. If you guys and Ononewheel7 wanna go do fruity youtube shit hit me up.

[@kingkracker1998]

that KTM is sick. I almost got a ltr but ended up with a yfz450r. love my quad but it's always cool to have a rare quad

[@DirtObseXXion]

Very cool to have rare stuff.. We're always on the lookout.. Trying to make as many sport quad test videos as we can..

I'll keep that in mind for the next one.. I got caught up at the cheeseburger truck after this one so by the time I got back to t h e camper he was all cleaned up.

[@jonnyretro2235]

@@DirtObseXXion no worries. I know these race days are v busy! I find Go-pro footage of these races kinda boring after awhile so really enjoyed you guys talking about the race and different aspects of the track/terrain.

[@DirtObseXXion]

Thanks! That's encouraging because these videos require quite a bit of effort but don't typically do well in views.. Glad to know some folks appreciate it..

Great vids my dudes 🤘 the XC racing looks like brutal fun. I look forward to more if these.

Yeah buddy! That was a great race. 3 laps at IXCR is awesome. Gotta shoot me a note when you are racing next and I will see if I can make it. Be great to get some video of you passing me by! Funny comment was made about the checkered flag, it is amazing how exciting it is to see that thing, and how depressing it can be when it is only the white flag!! Great job brother!

[@mzondi1970]

Back in the day when everybody rode two strokes I used to go watch what they call hair scrambles nothing but 250R, banshees and Suzuki 250s. I wish they would do this again in Missouri I loved watching them if you get a chance look up flat River Grand Prix. It's no longer held but it was 100 mi race four laps of 25 miles

[@theviking4525]

Wow! Sounds crazy especially on a banshee those things are brutal in the woods!

Yeah, I love the old Blackwater vids... Better days back then..

I'm 51 years old and have been wanting to do this. I'm trying to decide if I want to do sport quad or utility class. Would you ever do utility class?

[@DirtObseXXion]

It depends your personal goals... We've got friends still riding sport machines past their 50s but if you're more comfortable on a utility there's nothing wrong with that... Racing has been a great motivator

[@sfajita]

@@DirtObseXXion well the Genie is out of the bottle. I bought a Suzuki ltr 450. Came with flex bars and stabilizer and a lot of new parts.. The bike has been completely gone over. Other than the safety gear what other things should I be looking at getting to race harescrambles. Our local races are only a hour long. Any help would be great

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@sfajita I've got an ltr450 too!! Bit wide for woods racing but you should be ok. Sounds like you're covered, only thing I can think of is palm savers and a hydration pack..

[@sfajita]

What tire pressure are you running?

[@ngrimm0]

Are the flexx bars worth the money ?

[@DirtObseXXion]

Depends on what you're doing.. If you're racing I'd say yes, definitely.. But if prioritizing parts there's a few things I'd say are essential before the bars, especially if you're just trail riding.. Precision Stabilizer for example is something I'd want before Flexx bars. But they do add protection for your wrists and reduce fatigue..

[@ngrimm0]

@@DirtObseXXion yes I have full skid plates, precision elite stabilizer, hand guards, nerf bars, the raptor 700r shocks all dialed in

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@ngrimm0 Precision makes shock and vibe clamps that some guys like too.. Viking likes Flexx bars for racing, I didn;t like the chock and vibe clamps but Brian likes them. I'm going to put Flexx bars on my Raptor but everything else is done.. Empire, FCI, Houser Arms, Elka Shocks, LSR stem, DWT wheels, and a bunch of other stuff here and there. The bars were my last priority but I like them enough to still want a set.. I have the Protaper Raptor bend right now with an LSR clamp and the Protapers are a bit too wide..

[@ngrimm0]

@@DirtObseXXion I have the same bars on mine. Next will be rekluse, houser XC A arms with the elka stage 4s ( in my budget), then the houser stem and flexx bars, then after that the full monster exhaust with dynojet power commander 5, with fci air box.

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@ngrimm0 Nice! The Monster is a great pipe on the Raptor, it's ridiculous loud tho.. I have the PC5 with a Cuervo tune. I did Elka 3s because I didn't need H/L compression adjustment and I'm happy with them.. I didn't get the R so I had always planned to do suspension.. The Rekluse is super cool too but I'd put that pretty far down the list because the Raptor clutch is so manageable as is.. . When you put the PC5 on it, it's gonna add fuel to low RPMs and makes it almost impossible to stall.. Are you going to race it or just doing a dream build?
