Kailub Russell Tomahawk GNCC GoPro

My First lap around the Tomahawk GNCC event

[@bighaasfly]

I stare at this like a cat in front of a fish bowl. 😄

[@davemieze9021]

Ur so right. I did woods races in the late nineties, and was slow at best. These guys would come through carrying so much momentum. It was crazy.

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

Just like in real life I got arm pump 3 minutes into watching this lol.

[@duzz9539]

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing

[@kdxkyle]

His line choice is amazing. He straightens everything out, even if it means cutting through the woods.

[@michaelsteven1090]

kdxkyle ask the crow how he does it.

[@SLP-eb1wp]

at what point does it become cutting the track? 6:40. I guess it just comes down to the fact that there is no tape there?

[@cyclenut9992]

I’ve watched this before, it came up on my feed again today, I had to watch the master at work!

[@rayosteen4339]

hell yeah dude, thanks for posting these!

[@SkinnySkinch]

Kalib you riding the 350? Nice race as always.

[@KailubRussell]

SkinnySkinch sure am

[@SkinnySkinch]

So fun to watch you ride. Keep it up. I saw you out at the wellborn farms hare scramble recently hauling!

[@claytonhertz251]

Kailub Russell I’m thinking about going down from the 350 to 250 for next year to try and have better control of the bike. Will you ever go back to the 250?

[@SkinnySkinch]

Clayton Hertz pretty sure he rides both motors. Even rode a 150 2 stroke for charity or something and still won

[@dirtbikesicehockey4788]

That would be cool to see how Kaliub's heart rate increases at the start. Mine did and I'm sitting in a chair.

[@SkinnySkinch]

He's put up videos with heart rate you see it sky rocket pretty instantly at the start.

[@dirtbikesicehockey4788]

So crazy

[@michaelanderson1727]

The seven dislikes have no idea what they are talking about!

[@grim8353]

Hey Kailub, I really appreciate you uploading these videos. It's so awesome to see. What percentage of the time would you say you ride standing up?

[@robbyknapp3705]

Grim I don’t know about him. But when I do this kind of thing. It’s about 80% standing. It’s just easier to do standing

[@markthomas2578]

That’s racing. Out in front all the way.

[@chucksmith309]

The past for the lead looked like he was a little more than 25' off the track...

[@jonah12]

Are the fresh lines a last minute selection or are they lines you've scoped out when walking the course? Either way it's incredible that you can choose to take it split second or remember where they are.

[@aaronmatthews4356]

jonah12 definitely walking the course and figured out if it was good within the 25 ft.

[@KailubRussell]

Yep those were all premeditated prior to lap one. Would be very hard to find those without walking the course. And yes they were all within the legal limits.

[@jaredmeranda2695]

@@KailubRussell new to gncc but have always done well in the b class at the few i do, when do you walk/cycle the track

[@justincox2510]

Jared Meranda the day before the race

[@rhinoarmor2176]

I’ve been riding for 7 or so years, and I’m no where near this level. Your insane dude.

Yeah it takes at least eight yrs to do this, lol

[@jasonyup9952]

I've raced off-road for almost 20 years. We all push the limits of course deviation. That was cutting the course but, it's not marked so we just call it a pass and argue it over a beer in the pits.

[@IHIuddy]

I don’t see how you can go that fast especially with just hang guards impressive sir. How would you say one could train for woods racing?

[@aviationairsoft9646]

IHIuddy make a small trail in the woods and keep rippin it until you feel confident

[@YZFMX256]

IHIuddy just go for it. I’ve raced motocross since i was 4. I’ve raced A class since 2010z 2018 i started riding GP races (half woods half mx) and I’d never rode woods a day in my life, won my first GP race by a few seconds. Just gotta go for it man and can’t be afraid

[@ColtonsDad]

I'm all tense just from watching this! I swear you must have those bars cut down to 20 inches..... I don't know how you missed some of those trees! Great riding!!!

[@krsharvell]

Dude you were sick at unadilla except for when barcia wrecked you. Congrats though hanging with the big guys. I bet they couldnt come close to winning in gncc

[@aviationairsoft9646]

Hey go to the X-Factor ixcr this weekend. R. Russell is going, and so am I

[@zimmermanlandscape9287]

As soon as he makes the pass he already starts to check out on that guy. He just smooths it out and it's instantly that tad bit quicker super cool

[@robertcox7220]

Awesome riding that takes skill to ride like this .l see why you win a lot in GNCC. Congrats.

[@punkin7144]

Kailub, have you ever tried the pro shot gopro helmet mount? it puts the camera at more of a riders' eye view.

[@jmecillakennedy7102]

You make it look so easy cruising through the woods.awesome line selection.awesome lap

[@robbyknapp3705]

Is it just me or when he’s off the gas y’all can hear his motor

[@garrittpwl]

What gopro mount is he using or software to smoothen the videos?

[@damberson4698]

Just a heads up, I know you're hauling ass, but setting the GoPro to 60fps makes the action look a lot slower than it actually was. Human eyes don't see things this fluid when you're going that fast. So to give people a true feel for how fast you are going, set it to 24fps next time. It's way more realistic to the real speed. Unless you plan on slow motion later, 60fps shouldn't be used for this type of video.

[@DannyPopov]

I like the smoother/higher frame rate

[@devotidchannel]

Are you telling a FULL FACTORY SUPPORTED GoPro rider how to set up his GoPro? That takes more balls than trying to average 24 MPH through some bark busting pine trees....

[@MrWalkerds]

Finally some 60fps video!

[@mtb3688]

maybe u can get some footage at budd creek?

[@NeocRacer697]

Haha you can tell sipes was a moto guy. He RAILS on those grasstracks

[@aviationairsoft9646]

He was a supercrosser for years. Ive taken gncc classes with him last year

[@alvagreistsr9678]

Nice pass on Sipes...! Awesome to watch.

[@coobay978]

2 thumbs up!!

[@boulx]

no link on good documentary about these races??

[@jamescprueter]

that was awesome, on board gncc racing!

[@Jacobkorowin4014]

Great ride.

[@markhutt4494]

that was CLASS mate

[@blakebender4749]

Hey dude do you remember Tyler Klinger he is my uncle

[@blakebender4749]

He raced 125

[@onemanwolfpack20]

Thank you!!

[@TheCuttingtorch]

I liked the part with the rock.

[@brandonwiant814]

Cuttingtorch yeah man, or that turn

[@mikeduli8438]

I’ll say the same thing one more time! Why can’t you understand the camera goes under your visor for a comprehensive view of realty. You are sitting on top of your head like a gargoyle.

[@KailubRussell]

mike duli don't like it, don't watch it. I go out of my way to provide these videos for people to enjoy. I'm going to use my cameras the way I want.

[@grim8353]

F off mike. Upload your own videos if you know so much better

[@mikeduli8438]

I will. Still the camera goes under the visor.

[@devotidchannel]

I love when turkeys come to GoPro videos of FACTORY GoPro Riders and tell them how to setup their hardware.... lol. facepalm.

[@devotidchannel]

@@mikeduli8438 I have no idea what you just said and Im sure Graham himself would tell you the same.

[@mahrbeezer]

He cut the track lol

[@justincox2510]

mahrbeezer no he didn’t you’re allowed within 25 ft of the track
