Max Anstie chasing "The Bullet"

[@marvelaturraz5405]

As a former pro myself, I watch these vids and imagine what I'd be doing and if I could hang with or even go faster than the riders themselves. This is the first video I've ever seen where I can say with absolute certainty (and humility): "These guys would smoke my ass. I could NOT hang with them at all." I would lose sight of them in probably just 3-4 turns. Max Anstie's start was GOD-LIKE; perfection. That was the quickest response to a gate drop I've ever seen. I'm astonished at how fast these guys are. This is the best example of WFO badass riding I've ever seen, honestly. The only other time in memory that I've seen something comparable was about 7 years ago watching Blake Baggett just destroy everyone on a particularly inspired day. I don't even remember where it was, just that he was in God mode in that moto. Thanks for posting this video. I wish I could download it. It's straight insane!

[@gritmedia225]

Is there anything funnier than when people say "as a former pro myself" when no one asked.

[@DocVMX]

I would have been lapped 4 times in those 4 minutes.

[@johnathonbailey1597]

Being able to keep Herlings in his sight for as long as he did is a statement

[@gavinbutler6786]

This is the best Motocross video on KZbin.Ive watched it 10 times already, amazing riders, fast as hell, and an amazing track !!

[@jessejbueno]

I watch this like once a week for inspiration. Love the reving, love the clutching. I'm old school. Used to race CR125 two stroke back in the 80's at Barona CMMC so I'm all about clutching. I ride a KX450F now but I still ride it like a two stroke. You can take a rider out of a two stroke but you can't take the two stroke out of the rider. Awesome race footage.

[@onlygazza]

Me to bud it’s hard not to clutch a 450 when you rode 250 two strokes most of your life yyeeehhhaaa 😎✊

That track has more flat landings then an Egyptian airport

Lol

[@SHiTeeENT]

You talking about Cairo 😂😂

[@krazywhiteboykwb7793]

I dont mind the flat landings.. But the landings that are either 7th gear tapped jumping into a blind shikan or the blimd landing with 90 degree turns with walls at the end of where u land.. Sketch balls.

[@justinm2434]

Michael Blose those things have 7 gears?

[@lonzyrt7351]

Man that wide open riding brings back the memories of my childhood.. nice video. Thanks for sharing

Herlings is on a different level!

[@lucamenna8208]

Herlings can win on a road bike !

Herlings can win without leaving the pits

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

+Supermofools dungy would get beat by his own ktm lol kawaski strugled to keep up vilopoto had a great battle with the 2015 ktm i changed my mind with ktm it is a bullet with the right rider on it

[@gianluciano]

+Supermofools i don't think so. They're going basically at the same speed, but the KTM has more power exiting the turns. But we are here at Anstie's home. On the other tracks (like Lommel), however, Herligs yes has a huge advantage over the rest of the pack

[@danmounsmusic]

+Supermofools imagine him in 450 class

[@rangerdanger5368]

If you mute the sound it looks like the video is being sped up. These guys are insanely fast!

[@codenamenel]

brokenmoto 14 Its a great track, only half an hour away from me, you dont get a sense of actually how big the hills are on this, at 2:02 that hill is huge, almost vertical in places, then the drop off at 2:18 again is nearly vertical down about 12 foot then very steep to the next corner

[@Cascadesbmx]

+codenamenel Is the track ever open for practice sessions or open race meetings?

[@codenamenel]

Cascadesbmx I`ve never heard of it being open for practice, but Salop Motor Club who run the Track have events there and there are AMCA races but the full track isnt open at those, they miss out the Hill, if you look at 2:01 on the Video there`s a right turn (blocked off on the video) that cuts from 2:02 until about 2:20 out, all the rest is the same though. Fast Eddy does some Enduro events there too using some of the track and some of the surrounding woods. www.hawkstonemx.co.uk/

[@Cascadesbmx]

codenamenel Okay cheers for the info mate, will hopefully have a look up round there if they get any events on

thats not him thats Max Anstie and The bullet is Jeffrey Herlings

[@wernerxldata]

Wrong title, should be 'Max Anstie get's his ass kicked by The Bullet'... Just kidding. Nice video, better quality than we're used to be from Youthstream. Have never seen this track in so much detail, seems awesome to ride there.

Werner Reuser if you stay in someones eye sight for the whole race and fail to pull away you didnt kick anyones ass...he won yes but its not like it was a comfortable win ol mate was on his ass the whole time.
