Kailub Russell Xfactor GNCC GoPro

Ride along with me for a lap around the xfactor GNCC in Peru Indiana.

[@jimmycone3717]

I thought that was nice of you to ask the rider if he was ok, your a great champion!

[@chanburrell4513]

Jimmy Cone him and Ricky Russell are very good friends of course he’d stop

[@shannonelvey1574]

Man the way you pick your lines is amazing. It's like you can see into the future. I wish I could ride like that just for a day. Awesome

[@J0mama1]

I couldn't go that fast if a tyrannosaurus rex was chasing me.

[@chrismoody1342]

Whoa what I would give to ride a trail like that. Best I could come up with in my area was a trail about 3.5 miles along a rivers edge. No ATV’s back then so it was only single path of 16-24” width. My brother and I would blast fearlessly down that path knowing every inch of the way. So much fun. 63 years old now, but still have the same desire as back then just a little more fragile now. Did Ok riding motocross, but I love riding trails so much more. Thanks for bringing back so many memories. 😎

[@kdxkyle]

Respect for slowing down and asking if that guy was ok. You'd think a pro wouldnt give a crap lol.

[@johnjames3984]

Thank you for sharing your talent, skill, and effort with us mere mortals! Amazing!!!

[@mikeeckles7998]

Your line selection is outstanding. Thanks for sharing the video Kailub.

[@jmecillakennedy7102]

He is amazing the way he picks his lines and straightens them as much as possible to keep up his speed.Checking on a rider that goes down shows the true champion he is also.Awesome ride brother.

[@elcontrastador]

My God this looks fun! Just getting back into riding after 10yrs. I'm soo stoked.

[@Mcreddit129]

How has it been going for you

[@dirtbikekid5740]

You've been my inspiration since I was 9, keep up the great work!!

[@whattheheck3553]

Love watching him guys. Line choices and such.

[@dcr9869]

That’s awesome you asked him if he was alright. Shows the type of person you are. 👍🏻

[@67Lucky67]

I always enjoy watching ya do your thing on 2 wheels. # 420 4x4 senior

[@waiehuhuiable]

Sick ride bro!! Coming all da way from HAWAI'I. Hats of to you for checking on your opponent.. Aloha!!

[@RequisiteSkyPeople]

Yes exactly, unbelievable that you asked that. Which isn’t good that all of can’t believe it, and you are probably like “really guys, what’s the big deal” but no one does that, and that is awesome sportsmanship, you gained a fan by that right there

[@flashdrz]

Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@KyleMx4]

So smooth, doesn’t even look like you’re pushing

[@jaymoto9820]

Damn man, I ride a Yamaha and absolutely love it, but it's f@#%ing amazing what KTM has been able to do over the last 10 years or so. Ya gotta respect that regardless of whether you're a Katoom dude or not.

[@NorthernStone1]

I know it has been said .. you are a class act for checking on RR212!

[@za1racing]

Video doesn't do the speed/terrain justice. 60FPS also makes footage look a lot slower than it actually is.

[@LukeBrinkerhoff]

ZachAtk1 I guess people like it though, so they don't get sick watching. I've heard that multiple times.

[@alexlugar4831]

LukeBrinkerhoff if you’re talking about the FPS, he does it so the battery last longer in the gopro. I believe he runs a session but my hero 5 last exactly an hour and a half at 1080p 60FPS. And that’s usually what most people watch KZbin at. And the stabilization should cover the sickness but no matter what your settings are gopros make it hard to tell the real speed and roughness during races

[@DrewGorrie]

Locking the GoPro to 30FPS and 1/60th shutter speed while using an ND filter will create the most realistic looking footage. And the battery will last longer.

[@LukeBrinkerhoff]

Alex Lugar 60fps will reduce battery life. And that's what he is shooting at.

[@alexlugar4831]

LukeBrinkerhoff i mean it’ll save more battery then if he ran a higher FPS, they can run up to like 120 I believe.

[@billclinton4344]

Great sportsman you are Kailub👍

[@aviationairsoft9646]

Thanks again for the Champagne bottle at the X factor!

[@southerngentleman2516]

Holy shit this guy is fast , riding that hard for that long would be exhausting

[@williamosborne2487]

Awesome video, Good job

[@vitiate111]

Great vid. Wish we could see the entire race from your perspective.

[@caycedoerr802]

Heard that dude hit the tree from your GoPro!! Very respectful you asked him if he was ok though!

[@northrockboy]

we race single track up here (no atv's) - a lot tighter and slower - kudos to you GNCC riders you guys sure are on the gas in those woods

[@ROCKONNORG]

Great race between you and Thad and, oh yeah, you won. Amazing how fast you guys can make the best line selections so fast; must be able to slow things down with your mind. Was that Ricky who crashed in front of you?

[@cefasmol6973]

Damm, you literally have balls the size of coconuts; the way you were flying through them trees. Respect

[@glenpiro313]

Kailub, where is the wheelbarrow? I assume youre towing it along? Absolutely amazing ride. Not only do you exhibit exemplary sportsmanship, you remember to wipe the camera lens for us!

[@mark89v]

The "G-Out" Xfactor.. Looked like fun.

[@calebreynolds4962]

Good video and good race

[@JMetal98]

I think what goes underestimated too is the amount of split trail around a single tree. I know it's easy to say just go around it, but sooo many people would end up target fixating on it and clip it or worse...at a fraction of his speed. Takes a lot of solid technique and focus. I would end up in the crowd who maybe not always, but eventually fixated (esp if tired) and clipped one good.

[@dirty_c5573]

Ride along for A lap...... 25 minutes later and I'm smashing the thumbs up 😎👍

[@mirkokrasko1]

So Kailub actually slow down and ask the rider if he is OK? Wow Kailub you are amazing...

[@andrenilsen1484]

Nice riding!

[@dielon29]

Are you riding the 125cc at the national this year?...you'd crush it at mt Morris.

[@justinhill5246]

Bring back the go pro for 2019. Thanks 🙏

[@myronstambaugh761]

Kailub Russell, are you running a Hinson Back Torque Limiter Clutch?

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

AA class? My eyes don't work this good. A casual trail rider here.

[@hrsey71]

how the heck do you guys get your bikes to start so quickly?!

[@chrisspyrips3034]

I’m gonna miss watchingyou

[@bwedmore]

I SO HATE RIDING/RACING IN THE FREAKING DUST, ID RATHER IT BE POURING RAIN ANYDAY.

[@tannerfisher4892]

That man hit the tree soooo hard at 10:05

[@SkinnySkinch]

Nice ride man! That guy that hit the tree he okay?

[@cybillowe9225]

SkinnySkinch You mean ricky

[@524Racing]

Holy shit this guy is fast

[@Farque007]

10:08 nice advertising!

[@nickplank2512]

Gnarly! Any chance we'll see uploads from Steele creek or camp coker?

[@KailubRussell]

Nick Plank camp Coker yes Steele Creek no

[@krsharvell]

Kailub Russell why no Steele creek?

[@Mike-en4ye]

Awesome!! Do you get to practice on the track before?

[@johnnyrye5779]

No you can only walk it, but considering they are usually no less than 10 miles most people don't.

[@justincox2510]

Johhny Rye most people actually eMTB it

[@TN_HondaDad]

What rider was that who went down? Jordan Ashburn?

[@tylorperuchetti3316]

How hard is it to go pro in GNCC

[@A1soldiersaint]

These guys fly for sure, video doesn't give you the sense of speed. This course is awesome, LOVE woods riding. His bike looks so heavy and unwieldy around corners, makes me wander if they would be faster if bikes were a tad smaller and a lot lighter i.e. purpose built woods bikes. I know KR went back and forth between the 250 xc-f and the 350xc-f and he seems to prefer the 350. I'm not fast by any means but I enjoy smaller bikes and getting in the tight and technical stuff. Oh, well, forgive my dreaming for a minute. If anyone thinks these are purpose built for woods, LOL, save your breath.

[@thebordenasylum7726]

Dusty enough?

[@howtoforyou8243]

leader goes down at 10:06

[@waspbulgasari4498]

How To For You he's hell of a rider, so far, so long for him to be reached

[@joeylaurence2507]

Are you in the lead

[@Pavestar1]

Would you ever consider posting an entire race maybe in 3 1 hour segments

[@KailubRussell]

Pavestar1 no takes too long to upload and I only use the session so it won't last that long anyways

[@imtonedeaf1]

i enjoy when xc1 guys start lapping the slower riders it shows your skill level been fan gncc for years can you show that footage

[@J0mama1]

What the hell was chasing you?

[@BFonzik510]

Wow, that fresh section from 13:10 - 14:15 was a mess by the time row 10 got there...

[@outdoormayhem7456]

What gear do you usually ride in?

[@TheCuttingtorch]

i liked the part where you kinda got on the gas a little

[@67Lucky67]

HA!

[@matthewdickey5248]

Sounds like he’s on the 250

[@haydenheilman1]

matthew dickey he is

[@trevorrau7991]

Throw some water down

[@jowenjv4463]

250 4 stroke ?

[@KailubRussell]

Johan G.Bruère-Dawson 350

[@jowenjv4463]

thanks for the answer. Cheers from France

[@flashdrz]

250 or 350?

[@chanburrell4513]

flashdrz 250

[@flashdrz]

Wow! Pretty awesome!

[@williamosborne2487]

You gotta be tired by 12 minutes, thats some choppy terrain.

[@yamaha188zt]

I just dont understand how you can go that fast.

[@lukedvisscher4676]

Four jokes

[@syzygy3239]

Its really strange from a riding a bike. Your up so high.

[@yzracer14]

Poop stain right when it gets good

[@michaelsteven1090]

A lot of all the talk here has not mentioned placement of the camera..On top of the helmet is the worst placement for realism..The perspective is completely skewed mounted high on top..Under the visor will get you closest to proper depth and speed as its what we perceive at eye level..Even chin mounts are more realistic.

[@KailubRussell]

Michael Steven it's been covered bud. Mounting it under the visor isn't going to show less/or more speed. I tried it under the visor, never got the right angle and had trouble finding the lens to wipe the camera.

[@tobywonkinoby8916]

Just be happy with what he posts! He doesn't have to post anything if he doesn't want to. We're lucky we get anything from a top level rider like him.

[@web3036]

they didn't even water the first part of the track. Super dangerous. that's why thousands of dirt bike riders don't race gncc.

[@KailubRussell]

William Barrett considering the race course is almost maxed out on Sunday's with riders, it can't handle to many more. I'm glad a little dust is keeping thousands away!

[@waiehuhuiable]

Sick ride bro!! Coming all da way from HAWAI'I. Hats of to you for checking on your opponent.. Aloha!!
