Nice ride, it looks like towards the end others faded and the smooth Beta paid dividends.

[@180mxtraining7]

@@johndepperschmidt8984 totally, definitely the easiest bike to survive a long moto on. The power is smooth, but I honestly don't think it's down on power at all. My starts were terrible, but that was all operator error. I spun and dug a hole before the gate dropped. Need some practice starts to get it dialed

@0:55 I knew you don't have much experience at Glen Helen. Those late day motos, or moto 2 lines....they're NOT in the middle of the track coming down Mt. St. Helens. IYKYK

[@180mxtraining7]

@@waynehearst317 true, the locals have a huge advantage on that track. I hadn't been there in about five years. It just looked like there was bumps and holes everywhere to me 🤷‍♂️

[@waynehearst317]

@@180mxtraining7 I"ve raced 15 or 16 World Vets and specifically one year, beat a guy who shipped his bike from Germany. After MOTO 2 he asked me, where were you faster than me??? I said, coming down Mt. Saint Helens, you need to hug the inside line. ALL THE WAY. Anyway, it's definitely an intimidating track if you dont ride it all the time like I have for 20+ years. Not saying I'm faster than most, I get smoked at Perris MX...but Glen Helen is my jam.

[@180mxtraining7]

@ 😆 I'm the opposite. I was telling my dad if it was at Perris, it would be a different story for me! Perris is definitely more my style of track.

[@waynehearst317]

@@180mxtraining7 most of my younger, fast friends like Perris more too, or the old Star West. Jumpy tracks. I'm a Cahuilla/Glen Helen guy, and a NEVER Elsinore dude. Sad it clsoed down, but I hated that track since my first ride there in 2003. It's either snotty ice or blue grooved. Anyway, thanks for posting your World VET experience, rad video! Have fun, be safe, braap!

I just had Chat GPT analyze this video and it said if you had better throttle control, you would have placed on the podium of this race. It appears, according to AI, you are too choppy with the throttle.
